n~~`~~~~lC~ <br />D <br />~~V 2 6 1997 <br />MARION COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSlpNE~S <br />~~~~: a~~~~ <br />?2T0 $ibsamNOads ~oarfi I~W <br />S~lem, OR 97304 <br />County Commissioner Mary Pearmine <br />Coun#y Courthouse <br />100 High S#reet NE <br />Salem, OR 97301 <br />Dear Commissioner Pearmine, <br />Sadly, it appears that everyone was looking the ather way, while good-old-boy deals were <br />beir~g cut right and 1ef# an the Gourthouse Square project. I believe that as commissioner, you <br />had and continue to have the respansibility of oversight in this matter. Perhaps adequate <br />oversight was no# given #o #his project, but it is not too late to remedy the situation: <br />Please stop this praject now. Ctear the slate by removing Anderson-Wyckoff, Randy Curtis, <br />and the Portland-based management #irm which replaced Frey. ~ight any #urthar claims for <br />services rendered by any of thesa parties untit a full accounting is giuen and approved by a <br />non-biased (re~d: ones who do r~ot star~d to gain) group appoin#ed to stUdy the lega! IiabiGty o# <br />the project to pay #or any mora ccrosulting fees, raises, bonuses, and commissions. Try to <br />recover all aF #he $300,D~0. paid to ~an Berrey; aa1 of ##~e additional sa~ary and bonus' paid to <br />Berrey, Frey and Anderson-Wyckoff and Curtis. <br />Then appoint a new public board a# experts (each member of which rnust be #ree of any <br />financial ties #o the project, is., no teal estate developers) to examine the down-scaled project <br />anr~ determine its viabiiity. Then you will havs a big job tv re-seti this to taxpayers. It is not a <br />bad idea, but it was entrusted to the wrong players. <br />1 urge the Transit Board ta replace Anderson-1A/yckoff, ar~d tfi~e Coun#y to examine whether <br />Curtis's raise and bonus were legal (if #hey were not, recover them too). <br />..Sincerely, <br />Pat~icia Anderson <br />
