Dear City of Elk River:
Several E-mail, letters, and phone calls, have been made to
Councilman Dietz, and other City officials, dating baclc to March
2003, with claims of recent, violent, train-track vibration damage
to Mr. Boop's personal property. The damage to Mr. Boop's home
has been extensive, and continues to rapidly deteriorate, as the
vibration nuisance has been allowed to continue. As of this date,
no City officials have inspected, assessed, and or even confirmed
the damage to Mr. Boop's home
In addition, Councilman Dietz has used your head of planning, to
sever Mr. Boop's right of access to his government, to bully and
harass, stone-wall and discriminate, and involve this City and it's
Council in gross negligence and fraud. All of the above has and
is causing great emotional and physical stress to William Boop.
In order for you to avoid the embarrassment and expense of imminent
civil, and pOEsible criminal action against Councilman Dietz, the
City of Elk River and or it's insurance company, I now make demand
for settlement as fOllows:
1) City of Elk River .to immediately and completely eliminate the
earthen barrier, built along the north side cf the rail-road tracks,
adjacent to County #35, between Ogdon and Troy Streets.
2) City of Elk River to re-open the engineering phase of the Windsor
Oaks development. Specifically, to re-address the dredging of
the wet lands, movement of huge amounts of earth, and the relation-
ship of those actions on the rail-road tracks and bed. Then City
to reverse the recent, violent train-track vibration back to normal,
( at or near zero)
...

3) William Boop to retain ownership of the severe'ly damaged 19116
Troy St. N. W. property, and to fix or dispose of, as he see's fit,
after the vibration problems are resolved.
4) City of Elk River and or it's insurance company, Hill pay
damages to William Boop in the amount of one million, nine
hundred fifty thousand ($1,950,000) dollars.
5) Upon completion of demands, one through four, all claims
against Councilman Dietz, City of Elk River, and or iLls insurance
company, will be forgiven, with terms of the settlement to be
kept confidential to avoid any precedential value.
This letter shall be considered an offer of compromise and
settlement for all purposes of the Minnesota Statutes. It shall
remain in effect untill accept, withdrawn or modified in writing
by the undersigned, or untill ten (10) days from your receipt of
this letter, whichever occurs first.
William G. Boop
