He served on the LFPD Pension Board for about eight years and is the Race Director for the Wildlander, a running event that benefits Larkspur fire and the Wildland Firefighter Foundation.

Ed Chambers
Treasurer
Ed Chambers graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering. Ed worked 1 year as a Structural Engineer with the City of Los Angeles and then moved into computer sales and management for 32 years with IBM, National Advanced Systems, Amdahl Corp. and Denver Solutions Group (an IBM Business partner selling mainframe computers and related services). He has lived in Larkspur since 2002 and has served on the Larkspur Volunteer Fire Auxiliary for 2 years. He was Treasurer of the Citizens Group for the successful ballot issue to de-Gallagherize our fire protection district so we can maintain needed funding for LFPD in the future. Ed has served on several non-profit boards. He is very excited to be serving on this board and is looking forward to working with the other board members to further the excellence of our LFPD.
Wayne Moore
Secretary
II was a volunteer firefighter with LFPD from 2016 until retiring from those duties in 2021. Now by serving on the district's board, it is a continuation of my commitment to our fire district. My professional background has been in the medical field, working as a Flight Nurse with AirLife-Denver starting in 1985, then progressing my career as a Physician (PA) for the past seventeen years. As an additional asset of experience to the board, I have a bachelor's degree in business management. I've lived in our fire district since 2010 and have followed the circumstances of LFPD over these years. Presently, LFPD has the fiscal security to continue providing professional and high-quality community centered fire/EMS services. This is to the immense credit of the fire officer leadership and the district's board. It is my intention as a board member to facilitate this stability while maintaining vigilance of challenges on the horizon for the district.
Cindy Applegate
Board Member
I am currently the secretary of the LFPD board of directors. I write a monthly article for the local Perry Park Sentinel which details activities for the district as well as call numbers. I am a twenty two year resident of Colorado. I graduated from Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma and currently teach chemistry at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. I became interested in the fire board after attending several open board meetings and was elected for the 2012- 2016 term. I was selected for another term in 2018 and am currently serving until 2022. I ran for the board because I was concerned about the budget and finances at LFPD. I believe that the current board is addressing these concerns and am confident that Chief Mills is working very hard to have a fiscally stable district. We would encourage any interested Larkspur residents to come to our monthly meetings and find out what is happening with LFPD.

Larry Sutton
Board Member
I attended Max Hayes Technical school while serving an apprenticeship as a tool and die maker. In 1970, I started full time at Ohio State University in which I received a Bachelor of Science degree. I attended the University of Phoenix and received my Master of Science degree in 1996. Since 1974, I have primarily worked in engineering and production management in consumer and medical device manufacturing, including 23 years with Synthes, Monument (now Jabil) before retiring in 2019. I joined Larkspur Fire Protection District as a volunteer firefighter in 2001 and retired in 2013 at the age of 67 years due to age related physical limitations. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the district and, in retrospect, wish that I had begun volunteering sooner. After volunteering with the district, I was appointed then elected to the LFPD Board of Directors and served for two consecutive terms, some of which serving as the board president. Along with several volunteer peers, we initiated the Larkspur Volunteer Fire Auxiliary and served as president for two years. I have lived in Perry Park since 1999 and am pleased to be an active supporter in any role that may utilize my experiences and ongoing interest in stewardship of the fire district.
