Re: Update to my letter of January 17, 2020 Regarding Invoice for Street Improvements to
Oak Street and Ferguson Avenue and Notice of Default - Baxter Meadows Annexation
Agreement
Dear Mr. Doar:
On January 17, 2020 I wrote to you requesting Gallatin County respond to the City's demand for
payment for improvements to Oak Street and Ferguson Avenue. Today the City filed its answer to
Gallatin County's complaint. In addition, the City filed counterclaims as mentioned in my January 171h
letter. The County continues to have until February 18, 2020 to cure its breach. As noted in my previous
letter, if the County makes arrangements to do so and dismisses its lawsuit the City is prepared to do the
same.
If the County makes assurances by February 18, 2020 the City will waive the incidental costs of
$1,000.00 associated with SID 745.
We continue to be hopeful Gallatin County will reevaluate its position and come to the table in a
meaningful way to participate in the funding of this critical infrastructure.
Sincerely,
Dennis M. Taylor
Interim City Manager
