Dear Barry:
This letter will respond to the claim filed by Mr, Fieldon Atchison.
Mr. Atchison contacted us on May 11 concerning the area between the sidewalk and
curb that was damaged due to salt. I contacted Mrs. Atchison and agreed to repair this
area as requested. The work was completed on May 15.
Since the area between the sidewalk and curb is city right of way and the work
requested in the claim is completed. I feel no additional action is required.
If you need any additional information concerning this claim, please contact me.
Sin_.cerely, ~ i /~
