~ It seems to me that Marion County has two choices: A. Under paragraph 9(G), the county can put the Chevron lot to a use other than surface parking, which it will do when we break ground for Courthouse Square August 1, 1997. In this case, Marion County must accept all further responsibility and liabili- ty for environmental remediation. B. Under paragraph 11(E), the county can take over environmen- tal remediation, negotiate a cost estimate for that work, and split the cost with Chevron 1/3 and 2/3. Thereafter, Marion County will assume all further responsibility and liability for environmental remediation. I believe -that option B represents where Kathleen Thorpe of Century West has been taking the county and the basis of her negotiations with representatives of Chevron to date. She has undertaken independent testing and evaluation of the site under pargraph il(B), and she has cooperated with Chevron to enhance its clean up efforts. But the county needs to have and implement a plan for further remediation work if it is to implement the Courthouse Square project without delay. At this point I think Kathleen can use some help to make sure folks don't get in the way her efforts. Ideally,.we will give timely notice to Chevron (if Kathleen hasn't done so already), and the two parties can come to a mutual agreement as contemplated in the purchase aareement. cc: Kathleen Thorpe, fax Randy Curtis, Marion David Hartwig, Marion , r`~!~ `~ (503) 589-1657 County General Services County Risk Management CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: THIS FACSIMILE TRANSMISSION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIOILEGED ATTORNEY-CLIENT INFORMATION.
