Pursuant to the agreement, SCHHA has certain obligations to pay the County, as reimbursement, subsequent to the County completing the project as it is further described in the agreement. Summarily, it is the position of SCHHA that the project was not completed to the full extent of the terms and conditions agreed to when SCHHA entered into. the agreement with the County. Prior to entering into the agreement SCHHA has endeavored to accomplish the removal of the land plug installed by the County or an agency of the County. The primary goal of the project was to restore and establish a navigable passage through the original natural deep water channel lying between Head Island and the land immediately to the North. When the County agreed to complete the aforementioned project, as part of the agreement, SCHHA was to turn over, assign, and otherwise relinquish all proprietary materials, permits, surveys, and all other work product in their possession as it pertained to the project. It was disclosed, clearly, to the County that SCHHA had considerable time, money and sweat equity invested over no less than 10 years with the intention of removing the earth plug and restoring a navigable channel as it existed prior to the earth plug being installed.. By so doing, the natural water flow and historic channel would provide safe navigable passage to the contiguous waters immediately West, Northwest of the channel. It is the position of SCHHA that this was not accomplished. Further, SCHHA is relying on the agreement which specifically speaks to this issue in paragraph 4 wherein specific reference is made to '`....restore a navigable channel for boating access..." and likewise to paragraph 5 which is clearly referring to ......providing more direct boater access to deep water channels in the area..." The agreement, and the specific language, was the result of extensive discussions and SCHHA was relying on the County to see that these goals were met. As mentioned already, SCHHA does not feel that this was accomplished and that the project, which was entirely and unilaterally administered by the County, was never completed accordingly. While there is much more that factors into this situation, I am intentionally keeping this communication brief. I am available to sit and discuss this matter while we seek reasonable solutions to accomplish the completion of the project. Ralph Sheppard, President. SCHHA sher)6u52 5x amail. com 155
