Torresi; Tracy Warner; Diane R Voss Subject: Re: Somerset and Walnut Ridge Chuck, Currently the only currently accepted piece of improvement is the water main. We are working with Halbrook and to re-examine the tapes and correct the deficiencies discovered during the original review of the sanitary tapes, but we have not yet received any tapes on the storm sewer. I don't believe the curb and gutter and the asphalt base courses have been scheduled. I just wanted to give you a heads up on the progress so far. We can work-up the amount for the security this week and get back to you. Thanks, Eric Eric D. Cowles, E.I.

I am sorry if nobody already contacted you about this being on the agenda. You can see the item (copy of the letter) on our website. Please let me know if you have any concerns about this. As for Somerset 22nd, I will work with Eric this week and one of us will get back to you about the security amount in the very near future.

We would like to submit the final plat for Somerset 22"d addition for the June 9m council meeting. I think Brian Torresi has the documents he needs from the engineer however I need to know from the city what improvements you consider to be complete and which ones I need to bond for. I know that the electric, street lights, paving and erosion controls will need to be bonded for, however the contractor(Halbrook Excavating)tells me that the water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer are all complete and the city is in possession of the tapes for review. Can you please let me know what if any items are remaining outstanding for the infrastructure or if there are items that need to be repaired or modified. I always hold back final payment from the contractor until the city has assured me they are satisfied with the improvements. I believe that we need to have all of those things turned in by next Friday(May 15th) in order to be on the agenda for June 9th. I had also sent a request to you folks to have my letter of credit reduced at Walnut Ridge. I would like to have that done if possible either on the May 26`h meeting or June 9`h if possible. Please let me know if there is any problem staying on schedule for these dates. Thanks Charles E.
