,.., ~ Samuel Crowell Sent First Class and Certified 563 Court Street # 1 Salem, OR 97301 February 26, 1997 Dear Samuel: On February 21, 1997, you and I had an appointment at 4:00 p.m. The purpose of the meeting was so that I could explain your relocation benefits, give you the necessary forms to fill out in order to collect your benefits, and have you sign the benefit summary. Because you are not in agreement with the benefits, you did not sign the summary and acknowledge your benefits. It would be wise for you to acknowledge your benefits if you wish to file an appeal. After talking with legal council, it has been determined that our telephone conversation is not a binding verbal contract. In addition, the issue at hand is not a contractual issue, but rather a benefit to be paid to you based on a rent study. On February 17, 1997, I gave you an address of a unit to view on 13th Street. At the time, the rent study was based on that unit. Since you did not act on this apartment, the offer became null and void. Two days later, another apartment at 1488 State Street #3, which is comparable to the one you now rent, became available so the rent study was changed, using this unit as the basis for the rent study. As of today, the apartment on State Street is still available and, as such, the benefit base of $714 will remain in place. Enclosed please find the claim forms which must be submitted to receive your claim. Call me when they are completed and ready to be signed. Marion County will not require you to vacate the property earlier than 90 days from February 21, 1997. You will be notified at least 30 days before you must vacate. Sincerely, Laurie Andrews Executive Assistant Courthouse Square enclosures cths/tenant
