Dear Mr. Roteliihi,
I received your letter on October 10; 1995 that was dated
october 4, 1995 r~garding th~ dontract between the cltyof Boieman
and the Hum~he ~ociety. However, I did hot receive the cop~ of
last years contract as yoU did not enclose it with the letter~
On June 1. 3, 1995 ,t.had ateiephone conversatioh with you
regarding an earlier-letter that t received f~om you dated May 30,
1995. At that time we discussed the contract and both of us agreed
the ctirrent contract was acceptabletb b~th of us. You fUrther
advised me..that YOll WoUld send a letter stating the existing
contr~ct was okay for the next fiscal year. I neVer received that
letter.
l3ased on our convers.ation ~i JUhe 13, .1995, I fel t the current
contract was acceptable and that no changes would be made. I do
not believe any further actiotl is heeded other than a letter from
you stating the current contact is acceptable.
Any requested or suggested dhahges lh the contract would have
to be sUbmitted by FebrUary 1996 as my bUdget must. be sUbmitted
during the latter part of March 1996.
