SWAN Board: Attached is the packet of information for the agenda item #8 "Approve Letter of Intent for New Facility." Due to the fact that negotiations with three facility providers are ongoing, we did not want to include this information in the packet. This packet has comparison of three facilities we chose as finalists on the first 3 pages. Brande and I will walk you through this, and why we are recommending Quail Ridge as our choice. The pages 6 and 7 are the "Letter of Intent" which should you approve moving forward with an independent facility, would be signed by the board president. The letter is not legally binding but it allows us to move forward with negotiating a lease. Our attorney would be part of that lease negotiation process. I delayed sending this information to you all to allow Steven in IT to complete inquiries into the internet service for the three locations. We can outline that tomorrow. Keep in mind that all three companies are interested in SWAN's decision, so it is certainly within the realm of possibility that we might have a visitor at the meeting tomorrow.
