Box 3427 San Bernardino, CA 92413 Re: Jose Aauino/Tract 13936-3, "Well" Lot A Assessors Parcel No. 1210-261-41-0-000 Dear Mr. Martin: This letter is written with reference to our conversation of June 1, 2001, regarding the potential sale of the above captioned property. I have since discussed this matter with East Valley Water District's (the "District") agent, Jim Cinino, and once again indicate my ignorance as regards valuation of sites such as this. Accordingly, to assist in our clients analysis, and mine, of this site, I would appreciate if you could provide the following information, to the extent it is reasonably available, and relevant: 1. Does the Distr/ct own the water fights? 2. Does the District own the well, pumping, and ancillary equipment? 3. Does the District own or have any rights to gain access upon the property, including the right to place its equipment upon the site (i.e., ingress and egress, pumping equipment, utilities, pipes, etc.)? 4. What is the quality of the ground water, and quantity of the water being produced from the well? For example, if the Department has had surveys, investigations, monitoring, inspec- tions, and reporting records, that would be helpful. 5. Without this site what alternatives are reasonably and readily available to the District? D:\I 213\WWELL\LETTERS~A001A.LTR LAW OFFICE SOMERS ~C SOMERS~ LLP Robert Martin June l, 2001 Page 2 Mr. Martin, I recognize that you are not compelled to provide any answers to our inquiries, however, I am hopeful that your response will assist our client in more quickly analyzing the $6,000 offer proposed by District. If this process is not acceptable to the District we would respectfully request the right to inspect the records maintained at your office with regard to this well site. Finally, I can only assume that the District has condemnation rights in the event Aquino refuses to voluntarily transfer title at the price offered. If that is the case much of the information, and considerably more, would then be available. But, the amount of money involved does not seem to warrant anything more than cooperation in resolving the valuation issue as efficiently and economical as possible. Hopefully, you will agree. Your early response will be appreciated. Very truly~.~o~ ~~~LP RHS :brw cc: Jose Aquino D:\ 1213\WWELL\LETTERS~A001 A.LTR
