Relevant excerpt / notes

The letter disputes ASLD’s September 10 lease action, invokes A.R.S. § 37-289 and lease cure provisions, and requests a public clarification that no lease cancellation decisions have occurred or are authorized at that time. It says a separate appeal is forthcoming. Kimball asserts ASLD sent a September 17 notice of default and right to cure concerning one lease; the notice itself was not obtained. The letter also disputes alleged defaults involving biosolids application, decorative rock, application volume, advance contact, and removable improvements. These are AgTech’s positions, not agency or court findings. The copy has no receipt stamp or agency response.
