WILLIAMS GROVE, INC. 1 Park Avenue Mechanicsburg, PA 17055 Dear Ms. Saluti: JAMES I.). 1300A R Al'1011 1,1 Y Al1 AW wlEST MAIN SI HIZET SHIREMANSTOWN. PENNSYLVANIA 17011 June 3, 1993 RE: NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT pursuant to Monroe Township Amusement Tax Ordinance No. 4 of 1968 TEI.ErlIONE (717) 707.0701 TEI.ECOP1E11 (717) 737-2000 I am writing to you on behalf of Monroe Township and its Treasurer relative to the Monroe Township Amusement Tax. As you are aware, Greenawalt & Company, P.C., auditors for Monroe Township, conducted a review of the various Monroe Township Amusement Tax Returns and other pertinent information relative to Williams Grove, Inc. for the 1992 operating season. Based upon the audit, Greenawalt & Company, P.C., has determined that the amount of $6,583.68 is due and payable by July 31, 1993. The exact computations including tax due and penalty for these periods, all in accordance with the Monroe Township Amusement Tax Ordinance, are enclosed herewith, marked Exhibit "A" and made a part of this letter. The audit was performed due to the failure of Williams Grove, Inc. to file the required reports and other information in accordance with the Monroe Township -- Amusement Tax ordinance. In addition, Monroe Township was of the belief that the amount due and owing on account of amusement tax was not properly stated or had been mistakenly stated and improperly remitted. Monroe Township's belief in this regard was substantiated by the audit. Based upon the above, it has been determined by the Monroe Township Treasurer that an assessment be issued against Williams Grove, Inc. and the principals of that corporation, for the total amount of $6,783.68. This assessment consists of the above -referred to amount of $6,583.68, same constituting the amount due for amusement tax penalties and interest all under the Ordinance, along with the cost of the audit performed by Greenawalt & Company, P.C., said cost being in the amount of $200.00. Please note that said assessment, constituting amusement tax due, including penalty and interest, and the cost of the assessment, is through July 31, 1993. Please note that the assessment will increase due to additional interest and penalty if full and complete payment is not made by July 31, 1993. Please note that the interest that will be due and owing will be in the amount of ten (10%) percent, all in accordance with the Municipal Lien Law, 53 P.S. §7143. In addition, Monroe Township will seek recovery for costs advanced on account of attorney's fees and other additional costs, all as allowed for under the Municipal Lien Law. 1-49 tz*. This letter will constitute written notice of the assessment, as referred to hereinabove, in the amount of $6,783.68. This assessment fixes and determines the amusement tax due unless Williams Grove, Inc. and/or its principals, files an appeal in writing to the Board of Supervisors of Monroe Township within thirty (30) days of the date of this Notice. As such you have a right to request a hearing before the Board of Supervisors. If you request a hearing, same will be held in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No. 4 of 1968. Ordinance No. 4 of 1968 also provides for criminal penalties for ordinance violation. I would like to note and specifically advise that the audit conduct, by Greenawalt & Company, P.C. and this Notice of Assessment does not include and accordingly does not cover and make an assessment for any an:: all amusement tax due or any other license or registration fees due to Monroe Township on account of the activities conducted by White Race Amusements of Hershey, Pennsylvania. According to information furnished tc our auditors by you, White Race Amusements, during the 1992 operating season, operated the midway type games on a fee basis. Accordingly, it is requested that you provide to Monroe Township, within ten (10) days from the date of this letter, a full and complete copy of the contract or other arrangement by and between Williams Grove, Inc. and White Race Amusements of Hershey, Pennsylvania for the 1992 operating season and to the present, as well as a full and complete accounting of any and all receipts and the like generated by White Race Amusements. Monroe Township looks forward to having this matter resolved within the mandates of Ordinance No. 4 of 1968 by receiving from Williams Grove, Inc. the amount of $6,783.68 as soon as possible. Please be advised that Monroe Township has no choice but to move to protect its interests in thi, matter. Ver y truly yours, // JANES D.
