Mayor Rauthe and City Council
City Hall
We wanted to let you know how much we appreciate being recipients of and the
involvement in the 1 n Time Home Buyers Program. Six weeks ago we moved into our
new home in the Teton Terrace Subdivision. We are so happy to be in our own home.
We never dreamed this could happen at this time in our life. You can't imagine how
much it means to us.
We want to thank you for making this a reality through these programs.
We are extremely satisfied with the quality of workmanship done by Lee Hewitt, since
I was in construction most of my life, this means a lot.
You should be very proud of your Community Development Department. The people
we worked with in the different agencies were very professional and had very caring and
helpful attitudes. A very special thanks goes to Susan Moyer and Carol Griggs.
Thanks again for supporting and endorsing this program.
Sincerely,
Allen and Bette Murray
