Re: Western Auto Distribution Center

Salina, Kansas
Sir:
In connection with the construction of our Distribution Center in your
City at the above location, Dir. Webster, the Director of Public
Utilities, has submitted to our company a Water Connection Agreement.
This Agreement has been reviewed by our Vice President and General
Counsel and we feel that Paragraph 11 of the Agreement is an
unreasonable provision since we would be waiving all of our rights
at this time and the future in connection with this provision.
In selecting your City for our Distribution Center we did not ask
or request any concessions from the city which normally are requested
by firms constructing facilities of the size and type that we are
constructing.
In view of the above, we feel that this provision is unfair and
would appreciate the opportunity of discussing this matter at the
earliest possible date with your City Commissioners.
We would appreciate hearing from you by return mail on this matter.
Very truly yours,
WESTERN AUTO SUPPLY COMPANY

Re: dater Connection Agreement
Western Auto Distribution Center
Salina, Kansas
Dear Mr. Webster:
As you requested in your letter of April 13 to Mr. John Hardie, Manager of our
Engineering Department, we are enclosing two copies of the F7ater Connection
Agreement properly signed by our company. This agreement is for water and
sewer service to serve our Distribution Center located at Water Well Road and
U.S. Highway 81 in your community.
You will note that we have deleted Paragraph 11 from this agreement as it is
against our company's policy to waive rights of this nature.
With reference to the payment that we are.'o make for this connection of $100
an acre, we will make this payment based on the acreage that was necessary to
accommodate this Distribution Center and its expansion. This involved 26.64
acres. As you know, the remaining acreage consisted of portions of the public
road and other property necessary to reach the Distribution Center by rail.
We do not believe it is fair and reasonable to expect our company to pay the
sum of $100 an acre for this portion of the property which is not needed in
connection with this facility.
It is our understanding that with this signed agreement you will immediately
issue the necessary permit to the Law Construction Company for the construction
of the water tap and the final hookup of the water main. We are sending a copy
of this letter to Mr. Carrol Littlejohn of the Lair Construction Company and he
will be in touch with you shortly to obtain the permit so that they may proceed
with the construction of this building.
We would appreciate receiving one copy of the enclosed agreement as soon as it
has been signed by your office.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Webster:
This letter will serve to confirm my phone ca -11 today concerning
your letter of May 14, 1971 and the Fater Connection Agreement
dated May 5, 1971 between the City of Salina, Kansas and Beneficial
Centers, Inc. on the property referenced above.
As you have indicated, Beneficial Centers, Inc. is required to pay
$100 per acre to connect to the city Tater ;system. Of the 38.62
acres owned by our company, 36.63 acres remains after the deletion
of that portion of the County Road right-of-way adjoining our
property.
We are therefore enclosing Beneficial Centers, Inc. Check No. 1355 1
in the amount of $3,663.00 in payment of this charge. j

We trust this will conclude the matter to your satisfaction.

Re: Western Auto Distribution Center

Salina, Kansas
Dear Mr. Olson:
We wish to advise that the construction of our distribution center facility
on the northeast corner of Water Wells Road and U. S. Highway 81 in Saline
County, Kansas is progressing satisfactorily and a completion date of Octo-
ber 1, 1971 has been established.
In connection with our occupancy of this facility, we are desirous of
entering into an agreement with the City of Salina for fire protection as
the city is authorized to extend outside its city limits.
We have used your standard form of agreement and have enclosed three copies
of same which have been been properly signed by our company. You will note
the commencement date of the first annual term is October 1, 1971 and ending
September 30, 1972, continuing year to year thereafter.
We trust that you will find this document satisfactory and in a form
identical to your standard agreement. We would appreciate your executing
this agreement and look forward to receiving at your earliest convenience
one copy for our file.

Dear Sir:
On September 26, 1975, we forwarded to your our check in the
amount of $13,639.12 in payment of rural fire protection for our distri-
bution center on Water Wells Road, Salina, for the period from October
11 1975 to September 30, 1976.
This amount was based on assessed values as shown on your bill
dated September 24, 1975, as follows:
Assessed value - Real Estate $698,160.00
Assessed value - Personal Property 451,850.00
$1,150,010.00
Rate per $1,000 11.86
Fee Originally -Charged $ 13,639.12
Our personal.property assessment has been reduced from $451,850.00
to $243,475.00, a reduction of $208,375.00. It therefore appears that we are
entitled to a refund of $2,471.33 which is $208,375.00 times the rate of
$11.86 per $1,000.00. We will be pleased to receive your refund check at
an early date.
