<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Grand Rapids Justice facility has provided a
good opportunity for a licensed vendor to build and demonstrate their skills and
earn useful income, yet it has been declared unavailable by the Business
Enterprise Program management since early last December and is being run by an
unregulated temporary operator. The explanation offered is vague at best
and totally unsatisfactory.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I now understand why GR Justice was held back last
December, but I must say that any advantage or possible opportunity for a
settlement vanished when the Grayling and Kalamazoo routes were awarded.
To continue holding the GR Justice facility from the bid process at this stage
gives the appearance of setting it aside for a specific person, not to mention
the growing awareness of the issue of temporary operator delinquency in
reporting and payments to the BEP.</FONT></DIV>

that you had called, asking why the Grand Rapids Justice Building is not on
the bid line. That facility will not be on the bid line and will be
managed by a temporary operator until the Commission Board makes a final
agency decision in the Sheila Stelmach matter. You are invited to
contact me or James Hull at 335.3639 if you have further questions or desire
additional information.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
