IN HAEC VERBA: My E-mail re: "102 BRIDGE STREET FEE WAIVER CONTROVERSY -- Millionaire Buyer DAVID BARTON CORNEAL Paid $14,490 Archaeology Fee for His Mansion; He Misled Commissioners When He Claimed Ignorance of St. Augustine's Archaeological Excavation Fee -- ACTION REQUIRED ON 5/12 -- PLEASE PLACE ON AGENDA FOR PUBLIC HEARING

Dear Mayor and Commissioners:
1. Please revoke your May 7, 2014 waiver of the archaeological excavation fee as improvidently granted.
2. Buyer DAVID BARTON CORNEAL paid an archaeology fee of $14,490 for $966,000 of construction work on his mansion at 125 Marine Street. See attached PDF file.
3. Thus, lawyer and former Penn State University professor DAVID BARTON CORNEAL well knows of the archaeological fee.
4.His claim to the contrary at the May 7, 2014 special meeting was false. DAVID BARTON CORNEAL did know about the fees when he agreed to buy 102 Bridge Street, having paid them for 125 Marine Street -- a fee of $14,490 for work on his mansion.
5. The fee waiver is an unconscionable contract against public policy. No legal authority has been cited to waive the fee. Lawyer DAVID BARTON CORNEAL's unsworn, self-asserted "ignorance of the law" -- while demonstrably false -- is utterly "no excuse. " See attached PDF file.
6. The selective fee waiver for this developer violates Sunshine, Equal Protection and Due Process.
7. Please place this urgent matter on the agenda for the May 12, 2014 meeting and vote to rescind the favoritism shown toward this millionaire.
8. DAVID BARTON CORNEAL must withdraw and recant his false representation to you. which could be construed as a crime.
9. DAVID BARTON CORNEAL must withdraw his demand for special privilege, nunc pro tunc, or be investigated.
10. DAVID BARTON CORNEAL and the members of the St. Augustine City Commission must ask yourselves, your counsel and your PR advisors about the fee waiver: (a)"how would this look in the New York TImes?" and (b)"how would you explain this to Special Agents from the FBI and FDLE?
With kindest regards, I am,
Sincerely,
Ed Slavin
