Dear Mr.Porada,

You said in your November 26, 2013 response to Councilor Andersons questions
that, "Acquisition of the Kowalsky property is critical to the Library's
future." And,"...[a]t present there is only a verbal agreement between the
Library and the American Legion to allow Library patrons to park in the
Legion parking lot" Emphasis mine

The first statement is a questionable hyperbolic, semi-hysterical
overstatement.

The second statement is untrue! Because, on September 13, 2005 the Town and
the Ralph D. Caldwell- Falmouth Memorial Post 164 A.L., Legion, entered in
to a written "Easement" wherein the Legion gave the Town "An easement for
parking purposes for the benefit of the public using the library and
municipal recreation facilities ..." It gave library patrons the
unconditional right to park on "Easement" property depicted on Exhibit "A"
attached to the agreement.

It is impossible to believe that Library librarians, and Board of Trustee
presidents were unaware of the existence of the "Easement" because it would
be evidence of an incredible degree of woeful incompetence and attention to
detail.

The inescapable conclusion regarding your statement there was only a" verbal
agreement" between the Library and Legion is it was intended to deliberately
mislead the Council and public on a pivotal renovation/expansion issue.

The Kowalsky property has never been and is not now a critical aspect of the
Library's future. Those who feel it is suffer from terminal myopia.

Falmouth residents don't like being the victims of "untruths" whether the
result of incompetence or deliberate disingenuous deceit.

Very truly yours,

MRH
