RE: Waiver of bid procedures
Dear Commissoners:
Cache Exploration, Inc. and Conquest Oil are the holders of Oil and
Gas leases on certain parcels of land in the S1 of Section 12, Township
5 North, Range 65 West, 6th P. M. Our drilling title opinions show the
county as the owner of two parcels, totaling 5 acres, which we need to
obtain Oil and Gas Leases on. Attached is a copy of the conveying document
for these two parcels.
We request that the commission waive its regular bid procedure and
accept our offer of $100.00 per acre and a 21.0% landowner royalty.
Should there be any questions Please feel free to contact our office.
Sincerely,
rn.; 4 � Q �
