MOUNTAIN WEST <br />REAL ESTATE, INC. <br />December 8, 1997 <br />Mr. Randy Franke <br />Marion County Commission <br />Marion County Courthouse <br />Salem, OR 97301 <br />RE: Courthousc Square <br />Dear Mr. Franke: <br />698 12TH STREET S.E., SUITE 100 <br />SALEM, OR 97301 <br />BUS. (503) 588-3508 <br />FAX(503)588-3514 <br />TOLL FREE 1-800-505-9248 <br />As you know, the Courthouse Square project has come under a good deal of scrutiny in recent weeks as the <br />result of the Statesman Journal's various articles on the project. <br />I have been, and continue to be, a supporter of this project. I think it will pmve to be a great benefit to <br />Salem and Marion County geneially. I do not want to see the pmject harmed. <br />One of the issues that has been challenged by the Statesman Journal concerns my role as leasing agent for <br />the project. This is not a position I sought I did not ask nor encourage that the personal service contract be <br />subj ect to a waiver of the normal public bidding process. I have felt, and continue to feel, that my <br />understanding of the situation, together with my enthusiasm and support for the proj ect, make me a good <br />candidate for this position. I do not, however, want to stand in the way of the success of the project. <br />According, I would like to make the following proposals to you. <br />First, Coldwell Banker Commercial and I are more than willing to terminate the ~ntract and release the <br />County from any further obligation to us. Just say the woni. <br />Alternatively, if the County wishes, Coldwell Banker and I will agree that my share of commission earned <br />by my efforts on the Courthouse Square project during the calendar years 1998 and 1999 would be donated <br />to a certain select group of charities such as the Boys and Girls Club of Salem, The Argonauts or the <br />YMCA. <br />ff either of these opfions is of interest to you, please contact me at your eazliest convenience. As I have <br />mentioned, I am a firm believer in this proj ect. Neither Coldwell Banker nor I want to be an obstacle to its <br />success. <br />Sincerely, <br />~- ~,Q,~ ~ ~ ~ ~.. <br />E.
