DARLA LOWELL LETTER Mr. Schumacher explained the background in this matter. Council action on the matter was not satisfactory to Ms. Lowell. She feels that she has been "wronged" by SEH and Dan Boxrud and has written a letter to SEH demanding that her escrow be returned or she will create problems for SEH. Mr. Schumacher noted that this is a complex issue. Mr. Boxrud followed Council directives and no staff member has done anything incorrectly on this matter. Mr. Schumacher explained that he thought the Council was lenient and worked with Ms. Lowell. There is no proof of any wrong doing. Mr. Boxrud explained that her letter is stating that because the road did not go through and because she was not aware that she must petition a second time, she should get her money back. She feels that she paid for an approval and did not get an approval. She did not realize that she paid for the process and there was no guarantee that the Council would approve her request. She feels there was never an intent to build the project which is not true and she said she would make sure that SEH was not re- appointed as consulting city engineer. There was discussion regarding whether or not Ms. Lowell was made aware of the procedures in this matter and warned that her request may be denied. Mr. Schumacher explained that the staff followed all procedures. Mr. Boxrud told the Council that SEH will give back to the City fees charged to prepare estimates on alternative street plans. The $3,000.00 escrow paid by Mrs. Lowell for the original feasibility will not be returned to Ms. PAGE 1 1 1 1 1 COUNCIL WORK SESSION SEPTEMBER 9, 1991 Lowell. SEH and the City will wait to see what further measures are taken by Ms. Lowell.
