Re: Costco Landscaping, Kalispell, Montana
Dear Jay:
It was a pleasure to meet with you today and review the landscaping at Costco. The
landscaping at Costco is certainly a job well done and I appreciate the efforts and hard
work put forth on this job to meet the city requirements.
This letter is to serve as approval that the Costco development has met the landscaping
requirements as set forth by the City of Kalispell, allowing for the bonding and/or letter
of credit to be released if applicable.
Please note that the trees and landscaping are under a warranty period and should they
die within this time frame, the developer will be responsible for replacement. .
Again, thank you for the attention and detailed performance in regards to the
landscaping. It has been enjoyable working with you, if you have any concerns or
questions please give me a call.
Sincerely
qc

-DISCLOSURE NOTICE-- - RANCA
COVERAGE
On November 26, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Terrorism Risk
Insurance Act of 2002 (the "Act"). The Act establishes a short-term pro-
gram under which the Federal Government will share in the payment of
covered losses caused by certain acts of international terrorism. We are
providing you with this notice to inform you of the key features of the Act,
and to let you know what effect, if any, the Act will have on your premium.
Under the Act, insurers are required to provide coverage for certain losses
caused by international acts of terrorism as defined in the Act. The Act fur-
ther provides that the Federal Government will pay a share of such losses.
Specifically, the Federal Government will pay 90% of the amount of cov-
ered losses caused by certain acts of terrorism which is in excess of an in-
surer's statutorily established deductible for that year. The Act also caps
the amount of terrorism -related losses for which the Federal Government or
an insurer can be responsible at $100,000,000,000.00, provided that the
insurer has met its deductible.
Please note that passage of the Act does not result in any change in cov-
erage under the attached policy or bond (or the policy or bond being
quoted). Please also note that no separate additional premium charge has
been made for the terrorism coverage required by the Act. The premium
charge that is allocable to such coverage is inseparable from and imbed-
ded in your overall premium, and is no more than one percent of your pre-
mium.
