RECEIVED JAN 2 8 2003 CITY MANAGER January 23, 2003 PAras. TEXAS Mr. Larry Schenk, City Attorney City of Paris P. O. Box 9037 Paris, TX 75461-9037 Re: Sale of the Cha~nber Building on Clarksville Street Dear Larry: This is in response to your letter of January 15, 2003 which I received today. There are just a couple of things that need to be clarified in your letter. Gary and I have represented to you that on behalf of the Chamber and the V&CC that we would support all proceeds from the sale of the Chamber Building at 1651 Clarksville for improvements to the Depot property. I believe that our ultimate goal is the same; however there may be some miscommunication in the mechanics to get to the desired end result. As our records indicate, the V&CC has already made a commitment to cover expenses related to the Depot Project that are beyond the scope of the TxDOT grant, such as what Tommy Haynes is compiling. According to the Lease which we have agreed to on the Depot, we will pave the parking lot. This means we (the Chamber) x~411 contract that job to qualified contractors following City specifications. If the City chooses to demand the 3/10 proceeds from the sale of the Chamber building, the money that was originally put up by the V&CC, then we will not be able to do the parking lot. If the City releases the entire proceeds from selling the Chamber building as is our request, the Chamber will pave the parking lot, landscape the property and every other improvement as deemed necessary by the Chamber. This is perhaps where our difference of mechanics comes into play. The Chamber will be responsible for all improvements, and the Chamber will do all contracting in regard to these improvements.
