This letter is provided as a follow-up to my correspondence on January 16, 2009 to mayor
George Neugent.
The City of Layton has a long history of providing firefighting service to the Cily Layton and the
Long Key communities. However, due to the declining participation of volunteer firefighters and
the increased demands to maintain firefighting proficiency, I request Monroe (county staff the city
of Layton Fire Station with career firefighters at the soonest opportunity to provide for fire
protection and emergency medical services: City of Layton volunteer personal will continue to
provide service in support of Monroe County Fire Rescue.
Thank you for your consideration of this request, and please contact me if you require any
additional information.
Sincerely,
Norman Anderson, mayor
City of Layton
