OPTIONS THAT MAY FACILITATE A SETTLEMENT AND AVOID THE TRIAL AND THE ADDED COSTS.

ATTORNEY JANSENS ANSWER BACK TO ATTORNEY ALVARADO,

CARLOS,

JIM MAZUR AND I HAVE DISCUSSED YOUR INVITATION.  WHAT DO YOU SEE AS POSSIBLE AVENUES TO SETTLEMENT?  WE ARE STRUGGLING TO ENVISION A MEANS OF RESOLVING THIS DISPUTE THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE CONFIRMATION THAT THE   BOATHOUSE LIES ON TOWNSHIP PROPERTY AS DEEDED BY THE CARTIERS, BUT WE ARE OPEN TO HEARING ANY REASONABLE IDEAS YOU MAY HAVE.

AS YOU KNOW, THE TOWNSHIP ONLY ACTS THROUGH ITS BOARD AND THE BOARD CAN ONLY ACT AT A PUBLIC MEETING.  IF THERE IS A POSSIBLE AVENUE FOR SETTLEMENT THAT MERITS BRINGING BEFORE THE BOARD, THE NEXT OPPORTUNTY WILL BE   AUGUST 1, 2022 BOARD MEETING AND WE COULD SCHEDULE TIME FOR A DISCUSSION AT THE MEETING, BUT THIS ONLY MAKES SENSE IF THERE IS SOME AVENUE THAT THE BOARD COULD LEGITMATELY CONSIDER IN LIGHT OF THE REVERTER CLAUSE IN THE DEED.

THANK YOU AND I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR REPLY.
