(612) 483 -9177 Canabury Condominium Association 2495 Canabury Drive Apartment 115 Saint Paul, Minnesota 55117 May 22, 1982 Mr. Edward Locke Little Canada Fire Marshal 515 Little Canada Road Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 Dear Mr. Locke: This correspondence will serve to confirm our conversation of May 21, 1982, in regard to the installation of an emergency lighting system within the Canabury Condominium Association Building. As I explained, the Association has received a bid of $8,100.00 for the installation of an emergency lighting system within its building. However, the Association "s budget for 1982 simply cannot accommodate this unexpected cost in view of the following two (2) unscheduled expenses that must be funded out of 1982 revenues: 1. The addressing of the other fire code deficiencies specified in your March 3, 1982, report at an estimated cost of $11,320.00, and: 2. The repair of the Association's pool roof system, which failed on January 22, 1982, at an estimated cost of $25,000.00 The above two (2) items total $36,320.00 and if the emergency lighting system were also included the Association would be faced with funding over $44,000.00 of unexpected expenses out of its 1982 budget. Obviously this cannot be done and the Association has little choice but to request an extension of the 90 day compliance time noted in your March 3, 1982, report for the installation of the emergency lighting system. We would like to address the emergency lighting system, on a planned basis, in our 1983 budget and you indicated during our conversation that this would be acceptable. Unless we hear to the contrary, we will proceed with a 1983 time compliance schedule for the installation of the emergency lighting. We would like to be kept abreast of your research into the proposal made by Ted Glasrud Associates for complying with the emergency lighting provisions of the fire code. If I correctly understood your remarks, this proposal would entail using an Northern States Power alternative electrical power transformer grid and would be significantly less costly than installing a conventional emergency lighting system.
