Yesterday, I spoke with Tcn**y Hen~-5~sen, He expressed cancems s~ffi~t ~ the con.ms he e~m~sed in a lat~er seat to m, m~,,ently. I h~ve attached a ~ of thls ~t~er ~or your review per your reque~ I also tom Ms. ~Ie~ thai would be s~ading a c~y of his letmr m you. After speaking with Mr. Hen~n, my major concern is tha~ my previous correspondcnc~ ~s possibly be~ us~ present a ~sifion ~g I do not ~eve I t~k. ~ p~cu~, ~. Hen~ suggesB t~t my le~ m b~g usM ~ a ~do~ment of your a~ns. n~ ~e ~t.

In my phone conver~tion with Mr. l~ndriks~, he suggemd tim I advised you in a manner fncons~tcnt with state law concerning your bank being des,tgnatcd as the authorizeg depository for the city of Ramsay. I believe such a position has no basis in fact. Foremost, thin maaer has never evea been brought to my ,,~atiom The ottty manet that has ever been discussed '~ith me ~ tbs issue of the platttag of the Amber Ridge subdivlslon. It is diffieult for me to imagine how I advised you in contravention of the law when I have never addressed the issue.
