RE: City of Oshkosh citations concerning Brinkman Associates' properties
Dear Warren:
This letter will confirm our telephone conversation of January 7~ 1998 with respect to the
above matter. It is our understanding that this matter will be resolved in the following way:
1. Our clients will have until June 30, 1998 to complete the repairs or replacements
to the windows in the Frontenac Apartments and Washington Apartments in
accordance with Architect Larson's report, a copy of which I furnished earlier this
week. I believe you mentioned that the date was more or less arrived at by
allowing at least one week for each unit in those buildings.
2. The prototype unit will be selected and completed for inspection by February 12,
1998. If the prototype unit is satisfactory, the schedule for completion for all
repairs or replacements will be in accordance with Paragraph 1. If the prototype
does not meet Mr. Dannhoff's approval, we will immediately set up another
meeting in your office with the architect, building inspector and our clients in
order to discuss the resolution of the problem.
3. The issue of screens for the windows will be resolved as soon as the windows have
been resolved. It may be possible to do this by June 30th but I will wait to hear
from Architect James Larson in this regard. I assume that the screens for most of
the windows could be installed by the June 30th date if the repair program is
approved by the inspector.

4. In addition, you have indicated that all other citations would have to be satisfied by
June 30, 1998. It appears that the only other citations which are outstanding have
to do with (1) a guard rail which has been installed, (2) painting and repairing the
exterior of the Frontenac and (3) general citations of "non-compliance with
Oshkosh Code in failure to maintain rental property in accordance with Oshkosh
Codes." I am not sure what the last citation is about but I assume this is just an
omnibus type citation. If there is something specific, please get back to me and I
am sure it can be taken care of by the June 30, 1998 deadline. If this involves the
one apartment that had roof problems at the Frontenac, tbe roof has been repaired,
as well as the ceiling of the apartment and the only problem that we know of with
that unit is the same window and screen matter as noted in Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3,
above. The completion for the painting for the Frontenac should not be a problem
with the extension to June 30, 1998.
It is my understanding that you will notify me by Friday of the amount of the citation cost so
that this matter can be successfully resolved on January 21, 1998. In the event you have any
questions or additions concerning this matter, please call me by January 9, 1998 in view of the'
fact that I will be out of town from January 10-17, 1998. Thank you for your cooperation
concerning this matter.
