While we would prefer not to change our address, we have chosen not to oppose <br />the SMJ name proposal; we will not submit a competing name: "4th Avenue". <br /> <br />With that choice comes the expense of transitioning from our current address to a new one. As a <br />private, non-profrt:, family research organization, this strains project budgets. We are a mUlti-prOject <br />organization of approximately 25 separate projects of various si;:es, some With their own letterhead, <br />business cards and other addressed materials. Reprinting and associated costs will affect each project to <br />Some extent. We will absorb these costs over a period of time and do not request relief from the City for <br />this purpose. <br /> <br />'lve do submit for your consideration the cost estimate for the repainting of our large, east-facing building <br />sign. Attached you'll find the estimate of $185.00 from the same reputable company that originally made <br />the sign. We are confident that their estlmCjte is fair. We ask that this cOst be considered a part of the <br />City's cost for the 3r<J'4L'1 Connector project. <br /> <br />We are addressing this letter to you, as prescribed by your office. However, we note that the Shelton- <br />McMurphey Jchi1scn Associates ha\fe directiy addressed their letters to the~1ayor and City COuncilors. <br />We ask that you forw'ard copies of this letter to those offices or any others COncerned with this project. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration of this request. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~:~~~~iP)v <br /> <br />Dianna Larsen and Max Kessler <br />Co-Chairs Facilities Resource Management Committee <br />Oregon Social Learning Center <br /> <br />Happy New Year from Oregon Social Learning Centerl <br />
