Restricting ownership to natural persons related by blood, adoption, marriage, or civil union could have severe financial repercussions for me. My property is owned jointly with a close friend through a legal partnership.This arrangement has allowed us to manage the property effectively and share the financial responsibilities.The proposed amendment would force us to dissolve our partnership, potentially leading to legal disputes and significant financial losses. Restructuring ownership is not a simple or inexpensive process.The legal fees and potential tax implications could create a financial burden that we are ill-equipped to handle.Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding these changes could negatively impact the value of our property. I urge you to consider the diverse ways in which people responsibly own and manage'properties. Imposing such restrictive ownership criteria could inadvertently harm residents who are contributing positively to our community. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Ken Andrews President Direct(360)823-4239 Cell(360)601-7939 kandrewsPwesternconstruction.corn CI Western Construction Services, Inc. 2300 East 3rd Loop, Suite 110 Vancouver, WA 98661 Office: 360-699-5317 Fax: 360-694-7818 WA LIC WESTECS 162R8 OR CCB 63717 AK LIC 28375 This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual(s)addressed in the message.If you are not the named addressee,you should not disseminate,distribute,or copy this e-mail.If you are not the intended recipient,you are notified that disclosing,distributing,or copying this e-mail is strictly prohibited.
