Lang Cc: Stephanie Arries; Esther Gesick Subject: RE: Small Tract Leases - S23 and S24, TON, R62W Hello Ian, I'm writing to inform you that unfortunately the miscommunication between you and myself, concerning the amount of mineral acreage, resulted in a delay in submittal of the appropriate paperwork and there is already a lease in the 51/2 of Section 24 (2.42 acres)which predates the lease with AED. As such, I need to get the duplicate lease rescinded and will be issuing a bonus refund, in the amount of$968.00. For future reference,you may use the Small Tract Lease form for any parcels you which to pursue which are five acres or less. If the mineral interest exceeds five acres, then you will need to nominate the parcel for the next scheduled public auction. Again, I apologize for the miscommunication and appreciate your patience as we researched this matter. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Esther E.

Lang' Subject: FW: Small Tract Leases - 523 and 524, TBN, R62W Stephanie, The attached a-mails document Mr. Lang's initial inquiry in August; however, I did not do any property research at the time because I was not intending to schedule an auction until later in the fall and was probably just going on the assumption that the 51/2 entailed more than a 5-acre tract. Regardless, due to the oversight/misunderstanding another company did approach us in September and subsequently leased the parcel Mr. Lang was interested in. Please advise as to whether there is any remedy in this situation. Thank you, Esther E. Gesick Deputy Clerk to the Board/Office Manager 2013-0222 LEI)3c) 1150 O Street/P.O.

Due to the typo (which has been corrected in document#2012-2517) our research did not catch the existing lease in S24 which resulted in a duplicate lease to AED in November under document#2012-3277. Unless you wish to discuss the matter of the timing further with the County Attorney's Office, I will work to get the duplicate lease rescinded and issue a refund of the bonus payment. Again, I apologize for the confusion and will wait to hear from you concerning this matter. 2 Regards, Esther E. Gesick Deputy Clerk to the Board/Office Manager 1150 O Street)P.O.
