R4ty Attorney Cribbs reviewed
the proposed
contract for
land planning
services, as prepared by Robert Caldwell and
Associates,
and stated that, basically,
the Contract i s acceptable,; however, due to
the fact
that he was
not present at

tract, due to

opinion that
this Contract

Contract
,submitted by
Mr. Caldwell does
not verify this fact.
