Page 2 However. as the dust cleared after the session, it became evident to us and others. including KEY LEGISLA TORS, that the legislation that did pass for us. DID ALLOW us to build our project and the state must recognize our costs. We proceeded to get our interpretation of the legislation confirmed by the approving State Agencies. At this point in time we have set up a meeting with the main players in this decision making process and our attorneys. We have increased our approach in resolving our issues and have put the State Agencies on notice that we have other legal options and are seriously considering them. We will make a decision on this issue after this final meeting with the State officials. Today is September 29th and the property is almost cleared. As in other major projects. delays are always a possibility. The importance of this or a similar project at the New Brighton Care Center is extremely important to us and we believe. the community. It has been in our best interest to pursue every option available to have this project's cost recognized by the State. As long as we have a legitimate and worthwhile chance, we will continue to pursue our goals. We have always had the option of building something similar to our proposed project, without the need for State approval However, it is not our first choice. At this point in time I am awaiting a call from our attorney. He was setting up a face to face meeting with the State Officials, at their request. This should take place within the next two weeks. After that meeting, we will be making some important decisions as to the NBCC project. The complete survey had been done a few weeks ago and has been forwarded to our Architect for Site Plan preparation. The Architect had identified some concerns with the most recently revised proposed property line. We hopefully will have those issues worked out. I have been making inquiries into the availability and lead times required for construction supplies/products. I have been told that long lead times are currently required because of shortages in steel and concrete products. The timing is becoming a concern. with winter coming, it could pose a problem. with the cold weather not that far away. G-iven the variables. we will plan on setting up a meeting with the City, shortly after our meeting with the State officials. I am confident and excited that theNew Brighton Care Center's project will be a reality. If you have any questions or concerns that you would like to share with me, please do not hesitate to call. We look forward to moving ahead with our plans. Sincerely. /' -- /1f} r 11 I !Jlwfcu- /~~. Michael R. Chies "" Administrator
