080803 - Received mail and final version of conceptual framework agreement with
080804 - SMUD.  Met with Pam to review notes of negotiation meeting, per
080805 - ref SDS 9 0000.  Discussed sched- ule and tactics for obtaining timely
080806 - completion of SMUD contract, per ref SDS 10 line 86, per my letter
080807 - ref DIP 2 line 27.
080808 -
080809 - Pam wants to schedule a meeting to develop interim contract terms with
080810 - Sierra to support payment.  Called Buck, Randy and Glenn.

081202 - line 67, in his EM ref DRT 1 line 15.
081203 -
081204 -     He concurs we need semicolon, per ref SDS 10 line 77.
081205 -
081206 -     Explains his idea about why "or" is not good useage at ref SDS 10
081207 -     line 81.
081208 -
081209 -     Concurs we need to do something about setting a target completion
081210 -     date for the SMUD contract, per ref SDS 10 line 86.

0815 - 1023 received EM from Pam
0816 -
081601 - Received ref DRT 4 line 17 from Pam transmitting the document that
081602 - comprises the final conceptual framework.
081603 -
081604 - I put her transmittal to SMUD and the conceptual agreement in the same
081605 - file, ref OF 5 line 10.
081606 -
081607 - The new conceptual framework has 10 para instead of 9.
081608 -

081610 -
0817 -
0818 -
0819 - 1016 Analysis
0820 -
082001 - PG&E's proposed transmittal at ref OF 5 line 50 indicates PG&E and
082002 - SMUD will seek to finalize the language within the next two months.
082003 -
082004 -     Our purpose was to put in the conceptual agreement that the
082005 -     parties would complete contract language in early December, so
082006 -     SMUD would have a month or so to process it through to signature,
082007 -     ref SDS 9 line 142, and at ref SDS 9 line 341.
082008 -
082009 -     Seems like the more important step is for staff to agree on a
082010 -     target date for completing their work, independent of when the
082011 -     thing might actually be signed my managment.
082012 -
082013 -     Discussion with Pam
082014 -
082015 -     Pam came by in the afternoon to review the notes of the negota-
082016 -     tion.  We discussed this point after reviewing those notes, per
082017 -     discussion below under the record segment:
082018 -
082019 -
082020 -        "PG&E can withdraw if Sierra & L&P not"
082021 -
082022 -           ...this is para 10, but was previously para 9.
082023 -
082024 -
082025 - The first step is for Pam and Glenn to craft a specific contract.
082026 -
082027 - Then they can get Bill to review.  Possibly go meet with him to help
082028 - expedite SMUD's review.
082029 -
082030 -
0821 -
0822 -
0823 - 1041 called Pam
0824 -
082401 - Asked about meeting to review negotiation notes.
082402 -
082403 -    She called back and we set meeting for 1315.  I explained I have a
082404 -    1430 meeting, and so have to leave oa 1415.
082405 -
082406 -
0825 -
0826 -
0827 - 1127 Called Glenn
0828 -
082801 - He has not had a chance to review Pam's proposed current version.
082802 -
082803 - Glenn does not recall the understandings about setting target a date
082804 - for completing the contract language.
082805 -
082806 - I asked about the extra para.  Glenn said Pam added a para to grant
082807 - SMUD reciprocal rights to PG&E's.  He is unsure which para it is.

0832 -
083201 - Reviewed notes on meeting with SMUD to negotiate conceptual framework,
083202 - ref SDS 9 line 67.  She asked me to set up meeting with Buck and
083203 - Randy, Glenn to write a letter getting interim payment authority from
083204 - Sierra Pacific.
083205 -
083206 -    Did this below.

090401 - Follow up call at ref SDS 11 line 69.  Have we chased down the need
090402 - for 2nd easement, per ref SDS 9 line 200.
090403 -
090404 -    This seems to have been done per Buck's letter ref DRT 2 line 22,
090405 -    he is adding that
090406 -
090407 -           from Alice G. Anderson and others'
090408 -
090409 -    ...to the conceptual agreement at ref OF 4 line 96.  Buck also
090410 -    says the date of the transaction should be April 3, 1957, instead
090411 -    of April 5, 1957, per ref DRT 2 line 22.
090412 -
090413 -    Note that this is set out in Pam's final version received today
090414 -    via her transmittal,
090415 -
090416 -
090417 -    When we met at 1345 today, Pam explained the basis of the 85%
090418 -    valuation under para 1b.  I conformed the meeting notes to reflect
090419 -    her explanation, per ref SDS 9 line 223, so there is a record of
090420 -    how the amount shown in the agreement at ref OF 5 line 146 was
090421 -    determined.

1104 -
110401 - Considered with Pam the understandings and ideas about giving SMUD
110402 - adequate notice of the need to complete the actual contract by a date
110403 - certain.  She feels it may take several weeks to get the conceptual
110404 - framework signed.
110405 -
110406 -     Pam recognizes the advantage of setting an early date for complet-
110407 -     ing the draft of the final contract, and would like to accomplish
110408 -     this before 941210.  She feels though that since Bill Renard is
110409 -     leaving SMUD, he may step away from this task if there is too much
110410 -     pressure to meet deadlines; in that case, SMUD would assign a new
110411 -     contract negotiator which would greatly protract the completion of
110412 -     contract language. Therefore, Pam wants to avoid specifying com-
110413 -     pletion targets that imply significant effort, and instead deal
110414 -     with Bill directly.

170803 -
170804 - Glenn advises that Pam is considering proposing to Sierra that the

171202 - develop analysis of options vis a vis GO 131-D exemption on relocaiton
171203 - work and requesting pre-contract payment approval from Sierra to

171205 -
171206 - She will submit Buck's analysis on consideration of PG&E seeking
171207 - interim payment agreement from Sierra, in order to qualify for GO
171208 - 1310-D exemption on relocation work.

1715 - 1641 called Buck

171604 -
1717 -
1718 -
1719 - 1642 called Randy
1720 -
172001 - Left message.  He is in the office.  Asked him to call me here or
172002 - leave message at PG&E office number.
172003 -
172004 -    We probably should accompany the letter with some schedule and cost
172005 -    backup, per ref SDS 3 line 278.

1724 -
172401 - Left message for Pam to clarify what we need from Buck and Randy.
172402 -
172403 - I suggested I could meet with Buck and/or with Randy separately to
172404 - develop the information needed to write the letter, so we are not
172405 - stuck with having to wait until everyone can meet at the same time.
172406 -
172407 -    It is not clear why Pam and Glenn cannot simply craft the letter
172408 -    and then just pop in the blanks from Randy and Buck.
172409 -
172410 -    This is the vein of the duty to disclose prospective extra cost and
172411 -    delay, per ref SDS 3 line 279, and at ref SDS 4 line 65.
172412 -
172413 -        [Seems to have later turned out a letter was not necessary, per

1735 - 1722 called Glenn
1736 -
173601 - We considered the scope and rationale of the letter Pam is
173602 - contemplating sending to Sierra.  He has in mind that Randy and Buck
173603 - can come up with a budget of say $500K or whatever.  He expects that
173604 - Sierra will want some control on expenditures.
173605 -
173606 - We considered the need for presenting a benefit side to the proposal,

250717 -
250718 - They both advised they would rely on the SDS notes of our discussion
250719 - today.  Pam asked if this would be an acceptable common procedure,
250720 - rather than her submitting multiple notices of understandings and
250721 - events.
250722 -
250723 - Mike, who is taking over the CDW project from Bill when he retires at
250724 - the end of December, indicated that generally this would be okay,
250725 - depending upon the level of importance and urgancy of communications.
250726 -
250727 - Earlier in the morning, Mike and I met with Bill.
250728 -
250729 - Bill indicated that he has been submitting all information on CDWR and
250730 - Gold Hill Horseshoe to Rod, so that it is organized within the SDS
250731 - document long and diary environment.  Mike said this would be helpful
