Brent -
This timeline might be unreasonably short. The reality is that we presented workable solutions months ago which the
City staff has yet to acknowledge. We attempted to get this matter before the Council a month and half ago -and Staff
resisted and delayed the presentation. When we finally got the matter before the Council, and the Council instructed
staff to work with us, Staff still refused to do so.
Now my clients have lost their house. They have to find alternative living arrangements, which may tie them down for a
year. That gives us more time to work out occupancy, but it also means that my clients have incurred real costs and
damages as a result of the Yelm Staff's dithering and delay, which my clients need to have covered.
I am meeting with my clients this afternoon to discuss their options and plans for moving forward.

Ben,
Please be advised that Tim Peterson, director if public works, is awaiting your engineer's proposal on the storage tank in
order to set-up a meeting with Parametrix, your engineer and the Department of Health. The city requests they receive a
conceptual plan prior to this meeting in order to ensure it is a productive one.
Consequently, the City needs to hear from your engineer by early tomorrow (Friday) in order to set up this meeting next
week in order to ensure that this process remains on track for the November 10th Council meeting.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best regards,
Brent Dille, Esq.
