Subject: escrow check
Good Morning Christine,
Hope you are enjoying the Spring snow.
I am writing to follow up about our escrow check.
I know our builder, Ryan from Woodcraft Design Build, contacted you this morning.
Our project passed the final inspection last week and so I write to ask for our check for $2,500
back.
We need that money to buy a new refrigerator as ours is now broken can't afford a new one without
it.
Please let me know if we need to do anything more to expedite this process.
Thank you so much,
Wendy & Dave Huml

2. Owners request the City to review this application.
3. The City will commence its review of the application and incur costs associated with said review

NOW THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. DEPOSIT OF ESCROW FUNDS. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Escrow
Agreement, the Owners shall deposit $2,500 with the City. All accrued interest, if any, shall be paid to the City to
reimburse the City for its cost in administering the escrow account.
2. PURPOSE OF ESCROW. The purpose of the escrow is to guarantee reimbursement to the City
for all out-of-pocket costs the City has incurred (including planning, engineering, in excess of $500, or legal
consultant review) or will incur in reviewing the plan. Eligible expenses shall be consistent with expenses the
Owners would be responsible for under a building permit application. The escrow will also guarantee
reimbursement to the City for all out-of-pocket costs the City has incurred to assure that the work is completed in
accordance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and the provisions of Orono City Code Chapter 79.
The financial security may also be used by the City to eliminate any hazardous conditions associated with the
work and to repair any damage to public property or infrastructure that is caused by the work (including planning,
engineering, or legal consultant review) associated with building permit #2012-01198 if compliance with the
approved building permit is not accomplished.
3. MONTHLY BILLING. As the City receives consultant bills for incurred costs, the City will in turn
send a bill to the Owners. Owners shall be responsible for payment to the City within 30 days of the Owners'
receipt of bill.
4. DISBURSEMENT FROM ESCROW ACCOUNT. In the event that the Owners do not make payment

reimburse the City for eligible expenses the City has incurred.
5. CLOSING ESCROW. The Balance on deposit in the escrow, if any, shall be returned to the
Owners when the review has been completed and written notification is received from the Owners requesting the
funds.

incurred by the City exceed the amount in escrow, the City shall have the right to certify the unpaid balance to the
subject-prbperty pursuant to Minn. Stat. §§415.01 and 366.012.
