July 5, 2002 <br /> <br />Stephanie Klinzing <br />Mayor of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Road <br />Elk River, Mn 55330 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Klinzing: <br /> <br /> I am writing to you in regard to our claim for damge to <br />our basement, due to the main sewer line back/ng up. <br />I have written to Lori Johnson, Gary Leirmoe and Randy Loebrick. <br />! am hoping to get this resolved soon. <br /> <br /> Gary admitted when he came to our home that it was <br />the fault of the city that the sewer backed up with tree roots <br />plugging the system. I do not understand how your insurance <br />carrier and the city can deny a claim like that. If Gary would <br />own up to what he told us at our home, I do not think there <br />would be a problem about you paying us what is due. <br /> <br /> I know you are well aware what is going on with this <br />claim. I had hoped that you would have the guts to respond to <br />our first letter, but we never heard fi.om you. I am voting citizen <br />of this city and re-election will be coming up again. If we do <br />not hear fi'om you, we will go to the news media with our <br />plight. I do not know if you received the first letter or not <br />maybe you do not read your mail or have a concern for the <br />city's citizens now that you are Mayor. <br /> <br /> This may not be important to you, as the city's sludge <br />did not back up in your basement. But to us, it is very much <br />on our minds. I invite you to come to our home and see the <br />mess that is still in the basement. We cannot afford to cover <br />this expense. I know that the city has funds to cover such <br />problems such as ours and believe they should step up and <br />take care of this problem. <br /> <br /> I am hoping to get a response from you with a settlement, <br />and not another broken promise from the city. <br /> <br />Ross & Kay Bengtson <br />374 Baldwin Avenue <br /> lk River, Mn 55_~_~0 <br />763 441 5324 <br /> <br /> <br />
