The Honorable Joseph Glaisyer
Mayor of Meridian
City of Meridian
728 Meridian Street
Meridian, ID 83642
Dear Mayor Glaiser:
\~
Enclosed please find copies of some of the recent correspondence
received by our office regarding the present problems with the main-
tenance and operation of the Cherry Lane Golf Course. I am sending
these to you air express in order that you will have a chance to
review them prior to the meeting I understand is being held on the
Golf Course Monday evening, September 17th. I know you have had
conversations with Donald Leavitt regarding some of the complaints
and I feel this correspondence will shed more light on that aspect.
I have discussed our dissatisfaction with the management of the
golf course with Mr. Walley Lovan and explained to him the contents
of Donald's letter directed to you of September 10th.
It is solely our intent to insure that the golf course becomes an
amenity to the city of Meridian, a tribute to the Cherry Lane res-
idential community and a positive reflection on Leavitt NuPacific's
continuing attempt to create quality in its land development en-
deavors.
I hope you and the council recognize that our company is committed
to satisfying all requirements of the. city in the development
process and to meet all of the obligations to which we have
committed. At our request Mr. Bob Baldock has been to Boise three
times since our last meeting with the council and Mrs. Lovan to
respond to the concerns of the council in an advisory capacity for
the golf course committee at the expense of NuPacific. At this
time the only remaining obligation that has not been satisfied on
our part is the replacement of several sprinkler heads which
Baldock had contracted with a local agent from Eagle Hills to
remedy. I believe you are privy to Baldock's correspondence with
Gene Wright in which he stated that the agent met with such poor
reception that he refused to do the job.

Since that time Gene Wright, at my request, has contacted Bob
Baldock and requested that he personally make a special trip to
Meridian within the next two weeks to adjust the sprinkler heads.
We now find ourselves in an untenable position which, personal-
ities aside, requires us to make a business decision to protect
our investment, the investment of our clients and our reputation.
The present predicament leaves us only two alternatives: to take
back the golf course and maintain it and its facilities in a_proper
manner; or, to request the city's immediate removal of the present
managers and replacement with managers with the financial
strength, experience and expertise to run a successful golf course
for the community of Deridian.
Yours truly,
AVITT NuPACIFI
