~~ ~ <br />Letter to Mr. Hanna `" <br />September 8, 1998 <br />Page 2 <br />~~ . <br />With respect to our claim for replacement stationery, your point is well taken. Upon <br />reflection, we agree that our claim should have been for $541.25 for this item. <br />In closing, we remain hopeful that an appeal or other type of litigation over this matter <br />can be avoided. It is not in the interest of either party to engage in a protracted dispute over his <br />matter. We hope that the foregoing explanation of the circumstances under which we submitted <br />the personal property loss claim provides you with a sufficient basis for concluding that the loss <br />is compensable as a direct loss of personal property as outlined in our application for benefits. <br />Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. We look forward to hearing from <br />you. <br />Very truly yours, <br />~~.'// ~ <br />f / (/i,s,''"-~' ~" ` C~"` '~~^'t~-- <br />~ <br />Maureen Callahan VanderMay <br />Attorney at Law <br />MCV/pcp <br />cc: Ms. Elyn Lyon <br />File <br />V '~/ "'_`% :~ ~ ~-' `'~t- <br />~ <br />Because the County's obligations are largely determined by the governing federal law, it is, of <br />course, the applicable federal statutes and Department of Transportation regulations which <br />determine what constitutes a compensable loss in these circumstances. Although I have not yet <br />fully researched this question, thus far I have found nothing in those laws which adopts the <br />definition of personal property upon which you rely. <br />
