Maureen Callahan VanderMay <br />Attorney and Counselor at Law <br />547 Court Street Northeast <br />Salem, Oregon 97301 <br />(503) 588-8053 FAX (503) 588-3624 <br />April 4, 1997 <br />Mr. Dan Berrey <br />Courthouse Square <br />340 Vista Avenue S.E. <br />Salem, OR 97302 <br />Re: VanderMav & Dovle Relocation Benefit Application <br />Dear Mr. Berrey: <br />VanderMay & Doyle, lessee of a portion of the premise located <br />at 547 Court Street N.E., Salem, Oregon, hereby submits its <br />application for relocation benefits due to its displacement by the <br />Courthouse Square project. I understand from Mr. Hanna that you <br />have agreed to the submission of this application in two parts. <br />Since we have now received two estimates from movers referred to us <br />by the County and thus are able to quantify our claim with respect <br />to direct moving expenses, we are submitting that portion of the <br />benefit application now. Once we have determined the amount of any <br />other claims that we might have, such as reestablishment expenses <br />and expenses incidental to the move as outlined in 49 C.F.R. sec. <br />24.303, we will submit a second or supplemental application at that <br />time. We understand that under the governing federal regulations <br />we have up until eighteen months following the date of displacement <br />to submit any such application. <br />As I have explained to Mr. Hanna in a separate letter, at this <br />time I have not de.termined wh~ther ~he firm, which as of April 1, <br />1997, became The VanderMay Law Firm, and Mr. Doyle should be <br />treated as one or two displaced parties under federal law. <br />Pursuant to our discussion of this issue at our March 10, 1997, <br />meeting, I am submitting the attached claim for direct moving <br />expenses on behalf of VanderMay & Doyle. As you will see, this <br />claim includes direct moving costs for both the firm and Mr. Doyle. <br />Should we later conclude that the firm and Mr. Doyle should be <br />considered separate entities for the purpose of additional benefit <br />claims, I will submit a supplemental or additional application <br />solely on behalf of The VanderMay Law Firm. <br />At our March 10, 1997, meeting, we briefly discussed the <br />threshold question of whether VanderMay & Doyle meets the <br />eligibility requirements for relocation benefits. Since the <br />Department of Transportation claim forms do not include space for <br />
