You sent a duplicate easement to current ~ayor George Neugent on January 14,2009. Unfortunately, it was
a duplicate of an easement which was executed and recorded in the Official Flecords of the County in June,
2008.
Please be advised that HTA still needs an easement for KWFlesort Utilities. Also, please let HTA's attorney
Erica Hughes-Sterling handle the legal documents, so that these documents do not get further confused. The
document which was sent to the mayor and forwarded to my office will be retained on file here for the time
that we are required to retain correspondence.
