The document was not picked up. Since that time the homeowner requested the original CO be mailed directly to him and this was done. A scanned copy of the CO is attached. The Escrow Agreement is an agreement between the property owner and the City. Bamboo Properties LLC was the owner of record at the time of the building permit. However the City's policy is to only enter into the agreement with the property owner of record and to refund escrow funds only to the property owner of record. We do not track who provided the funds (i.e. who wrote the check). When properties change hands, as they often do, the City does not backtrack to the previous owner. This has been our policy with all escrows for at least the past 4-5 years... If you wish to continue paying the escrow for the homeowner, or if you are building on spec, you should adjust for this in your bid/contract with the individuals who buy the home.

Bamboo Properties put up the escrow monies and signed the agreement, so don't you think they should receive the released escrow funds, not future homeowners. Since Bamboo Properties has met their escrow responsibilities, please release their escrow per the agreement. I have requested the CO previously, but my request may not be getting to the correct person at the City. Please send me a copy of the Certificate of Occupancy for my permit at this address. Feel free to call me to discuss.Thanks for your time. Peggy Johnson Dean Johnson Homes 763-479-4820 From: Christine Mattson [mailto:CMattson@ci.orono.mn.us] Sent:Wednesday, August 7, 2013 8:35 AM 1
