Re: Extension of SCC Agreement

Dear Jason:
As you are aware, the Second Renewal Term of the agreement between the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea ("the City") and Sunset Cultural Center, Inc. ("SCC") dated June 8, 2004 will expire on June 30, 2013. The contract requires that we submit our intent to renew by December 31, 2012. As such, I am pleased to advise the City that the SCC Board of Trustees is prepared to continue to perform its responsibilities under the Agreement. At this time, the Trustees would like to confirm the City's interest and intent in continuing the
relationship set forth in the Agreement. If yes, sec suggests that we soon begin discussing to what extent, if any, the Agreement should and could be revised to more currently represent any adjustment to the relationship made evident by our mutual experience over the last nine years. We look forward to a long, productive and congenial relationship with the City for this wonderful institution we all love.

Sincerely,


Christine Sandin
Executive Director
