The Board runs the business side of things, making high level decisions about the direction of the District. The Board meets once a month for regular meetings. Special meetings may also be scheduled infrequently. If you think this might be a good way for you to help our community you can find more information on our website - www.ihfr.org Forms must be submitted on or before Feb. 26th.

Board Election Cancelled

The spring election for open seats on the Board of Directors of the Indian Hills Fire Protection District has been cancelled as no community members other than the incumbents expressed interest in running. As a result, both Scott Kellar and Paul Pettit have been re-elected by acclimation and will serve four-year terms ending in 2020.

Scott Kellar, a resident of Indian Hills since 2011 and a Board member since 2012, is an engineering graduate of West Point and 23-year military veteran with extensive strategic planning and financial management experience from multi-national, governmental, and private sector organizations. He currently serves as the Homeland Security Coordinator for the ten-county Denver Metropolitan area. In this role, he assists local government public safety leaders in implementing homeland security and emergency management initiatives.

Paul Pettit has been a Board member since 1998. He has resided in Indian Hills for more than 30 years. His background in broadcast engineering has allowed him to assist with the District’s communications system projects. Paul has also played a role in replacing all but one of the Department’s aging fleet during the many years that he has been associated with the Board.

Other Board members include Marc Rosenberg, Ron Walton, and Kelley Lehman. Their terms will expire in 2018.
