110804 - Wayne advised JoAnn that he has investigated and can obtain a
110805 - temporary full time job for her with the State for from 3 to 9 months
110806 - at approximately $7.25 per hour, the rate her employer is now
110807 - receiving for her services.  Wayne indicated the full period of the
110808 - assignment will depend upon whether the arbitration actually proceeds.
110809 - He feels if the parties settle, the assignment could end.  The period
110810 - of her employment will provide an opportunity for a permanent position
110811 - to open up and be evaluated by both parties.
110813 -  ..
110814 - This offer will result in a pay raise for JoAnn of approximately 30%.
110816 -  ..
110817 - He will bring out a form next week to evaluate which pay catagory is
110818 - best suited for her.  JoAnn will consider the offer and let him know
110819 - within the next week whether the offer is acceptable.

231502 - Allocating Time Between Analysis and Meetings
231503 - Meetings Fall into Conflict DNRC Requests SDS Support
231504 -
231505 - Norm came into the trailer.  He was upset and advised that Bill
231506 - Merriman was disrupting a meeting with belligerent demeanor.  Norm
231507 - asked if I would come over to help restore order so that normal
231508 - business can be conducted, as we have done in the past?
231509 -
231510 -      Welch was hired on 880815 to solve these problems, ref SDS 2
231511 -      NF6M; an example is the meeting on 880824 when Bill Merriman
231512 -      presented his case with frank and pointed remarks. ref SDS 3 8366
231514 -  ..
231515 - I explained today that a week or so ago on 890208 Hal requested that I
231516 - not attend meetings with the contractor, ref SDS 6 01P4, and indicated
231517 - that Norm was taking notes. ref SDS 6 EQ6W  Moreover, at the moment, I
231518 - am busy with other matters.  If I stop and go sit in on a meeting,
231519 - analysis will be delayed for planning and correspondence requested by
231520 - the State and Tudor management to expedite the work. Attending the
231521 - meeting will take more time writing up the record to follow up on what
231522 - transpires in the meeting, which will push current work further back,
231523 - and so a lot more "homework" will be needed to catch up.  There are
231524 - only so many hours in a day.
231525 -
231526 -      [On 890809 Ross related dilemma of information overload not
231527 -      enough time to attend every meeting and write everything down.
231528 -      ref SDS 8 3S6H
231530 -       ..
231531 -      [On 020608 Dave Snowden's paper cite's dilemma that people cannot
231532 -      write everything down to verify accuracy of all information,
231533 -      ref SDS 9 S48O; not an excuse to give up on improving accuracy of
231534 -      communication that is critical to productivity, earnings and
231535 -      saving lives. ref SDS 9 L47J
231537 -       ..
231538 -      [On 030309 aerospace project illustrates challenge of using good
231539 -      management when people start late, already behind schedule.
231540 -      ref SDS 10 1M6L
231542 -  ..
231543 - Norm indicated that, under the circumstances, he feels, as DNRC's
231544 - representative on the job, I should stop what I am doing and go attend
231545 - their meeting.
231547 -  ..
231548 - I asked about tape recording the meeting to encourage constructive
231549 - discourse rather than conflict?  The contractor asked for tape
231550 - recordings last September on 880907. ref SDS 4 3402  This was helpful
231551 - avoiding bellicose conduct; the contractor stopped tape recording
231552 - meetings a few weeks later on 880928. ref SDS 5 9330
231554 -  ..
231555 - Norm said the contractor doesn't want a tape recording, and Hal is
231556 - trying to maintain good relations by going along.  (Hal mentioned this
231557 - point on 890208. ref SDS 6 EQ6W)
231559 -  ..
231560 - Norm talked about advantages of SDS for helping people focus on lining
231561 - up the work with contract requirements.  He feels that if Welch shows
231562 - up, people will associate this with SDS and things will quiet down.
231564 -  ..
231565 - I suggested that Norm return to the meeting and ask Hal for a brief
231566 - recess so people can calm down.  During the recess Norm can recommend
231567 - that, when the meeting resumes, Hal point out to the parties that tape
231568 - recordings can be used again, and that a record of disruptive behavior
231569 - harms the contractor's cause.  Hal can further point out that Norm is
231570 - taking notes to help people understand the results of meetings.  Cite
231571 - contract provisions that require good faith business conduct, and
231572 - failure to do so delays progress.  This increases costs to the party
231573 - causing delay, which leads to loss of income, replacement of personnel
231574 - or termination altogether, as previously related on 880824.
231575 - ref SDS 3 8366
231577 -  ..
231578 - Norm said he didn't think Hal could make that case, because he wasn't
231579 - here befor, so he doesn't really understand how SDS works.  Norm feels
231580 - they need the contractor to recognize that what they say and do winds
231581 - up in SDS records showing context of prior history and consequences
231582 - that encourage performance of the contract, as we were doing before,
231583 - rather than yelling and posturing like they have today.
231585 -  ..
231586 - I explained that Hal is an experienced executive assigned by Tudor to
231587 - manage the work.  Hal related on 890208 having discussed this change
231588 - with Tudor management and seemed to indicate that DNRC was on board as
231589 - well. ref SDS 6 EQ5J
231590 -
231591 -      [On 890328 DNRC concerned Tudor management falling behind.
231593 -       ..
231594 -      [On 890405 Hal suffered heart attack. ref SDS 7 7M5L
231596 -  ..
231597 - Norm said nobody told him, and he feels that Wayne and Sarah didn't
231598 - know either.  It just happened, and now things are a mess again.  Norm
231599 - asked if I couldn't just take a few minutes and go over to the meeting
231600 - to help like we did last August and September.
231602 -  ..
231603 - I explained that since Hal asked me not to attend meetings, it would
231604 - be more harmful for me to step in unnanounced at this stage.  After
231605 - this meeting is over, DNRC can consider whether the prior arrangements
231606 - would be helpful, and if so how to accomplish that objective.
