C~-~i• diemertlaw@aol.com ~la ~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~ ~~~. 1~~~~~ The Honorable Bruce Rinker Mayor of the Village of Mayfield Members of Council 6621 Wilson Mills Road Mayfield, Ohio 44143 September 17, 1999 RE: Village'of Mayfield /United Methodist Church Dear Mayor Rinker and Members of Council: ~e~e~~iane /./r./%~2--6800 ~~ ~/i./s ~1r.~<2- 0825 Enclosed herein, please find the revised draft of the proposed agreement for the purchase and sale of real estate between Mayfield Village and the United Methodist Church. I will outline some of the changes. At the outset, please understand that this contract is the combined language of myself and the attorney for the Methodist Church. The original drafts of this were an accumulation of language that both sides had discussed and reworked. More than half of the language in this agreement was included as a result of my drafting at the insistence of the Mayor and Finance Director. Although it comes from their computer system, the language itself did not originate just with the attorneys for the Methodist Church. Please understand that I strongly feel that the Village is very well protected in all instances with this agreement. You should remember that several months ago, there were a number of items which I disagreed with, and they have all been changed to my satisfaction and with the language that I requested. To suggest that your Law Director is working. for the Church and not for you is certainly not accurate. My malpractice insurance is much greater than the cost of this deal, and would be available to the Village should I have made some serious error or omission in protecting the Village's rights, not to mention, of course, my personal reputation. I have handled millions of dollars of transactions for this Village, without any mistakes and without any threat to the best interests of this Village.
