MAIN ST., SUITE 222 PUEBLO, COLORADO 81003 TELEPHONE: (719) 543-8596 FAX: (719) 543-8599 Mr. Thomas Jagger ~ ~ .... 1 ~ ~,3 City Attorney 511 North Main Street, Suite 127 Pueblo, CO 81003 Re: Pueblo Medal of Honor Memorial Foundation Dear Tom: A couple of years ago, you were helpful in assistinq the Pueblo Medal of Honor Foundation in acquiring an 18.12% interest in some property just south of the old Ramada Inn in East Pueblo. This property was originally planned to be a new site for the Pueblo Chieftain. The Chieftain conveyed an interest to the Arts Center, to USC Foundation, and an 18.12% interest for the benefit of the Medal of Honor Project. To refresh your memory, the Medal of Honor Project was originally to be at the State Fair, and therefore, its interest in the property was conveyed to the Colorado State Fair Authority. After it was decided not to place it at the State Fair, the State Fair Authority conveyed the property to the City of Pueblo. Enclosed is a copy of the City of Pueblo resolution and the deed. The Medal of Honor Foundation is continuing and will be assisting the Convention Center with its maintenance, etc. and other projects involved with the Medal of Honor recognition. We would like, if possible, to have the City convey the 18.12% interest in the property to the Foundation so that, when and if the Chieftain is successful in finding a buyer, the City won't have to be concerned with that aspect. Pete Lemon from Colorado Springs is very active in directing the activities of the Foundation and is excited about the Foundation continuing to support the Medal of Honor Project in Pueblo. I'd be glad to address any questions you or the Council might have. In the meantime, if you have a problem with this request, please let me know. If you don't, perhaps you can prepare whatever resolution is necessary for the conveyance to be made. Mr. Thomas Jagger May 12, 2003 Page Two Thank you for your help. DBS/las yours, David B.
