Due to the continued growth in our client base and our desire to provide clients with <br />more fresh food options, we are embarking on an addition to our building. The addition will house <br />a walk-in refrigerator and freezer. The units will have glass doors on one side for <br />clients/volunteers to use and will have a walk-in door on one end of the unit. <br />We have received grant funds from a Community Development Block Grant through Washington <br />County for this project. Those funds will cover about 75% of the cost of the project. We have <br />written other grants and are conducting fundraisers to fund the remaining portion. <br />I am writing today to ask if the city would be able to waive the application and building permit fees <br />for this project? We understand there are still some fees we will need to pay as they are fees from <br />entities other than the city. <br />Thank you for considering this request. <br />Sincerely, <br />Chris DuFresne <br />President <br />chris@chrisdufresne.com <br />651-592-1027 <br />F.2
