To whom it may concern,

This letter should serve as a confirmation of discussions that I had numerous times with numerous council people and the city manager in late 2017 and early 2018. I was approached and asked about the condition of city hall and whether, in my professional opinion, it could be repaired.

I told the then sitting commissioners that I believed that the building could be repaired for $300,000 and could be occupied within a 3-month time frame. This included repairing electrical, plumbing, drywall, installing pin piles to stabilize the floor, and floating the floor back to a safe & level condition. Although prices have risen since that time, the building could still be repaired for well under the 50% threshold. Structurally, in my opinion, the building has not moved. The settlement in the floors was a well-known fact prior to hurricane Irma.

Any questions please feel free to contact me, thank you.
