1010 - Summary/Objective
1011 -
101101 - Followed up work at ref SDS 3 line 64.
101102 -
101103 - We developed comments on Pam's proposed langauge.  I will submit to
101104 - Pam tomorrow morning to prepare for meeting with contract team on
101105 - Friday, 941209 1000.

1014 - Analysis
1015 -
101501 - A key point of the contract is that PG&E first merely seeks to acquire
101502 - the right to an easement it needs in order to negotiate a contract
101503 - with two other parties, Sierra and Parkway, which if successful, will
101504 - then obligate PG&E to construct certain facilities in SMUD's right of
101505 - way.  Once constructed, PG&E will then be required to lease a portion
101506 - of those facilities to SMUD.  Bill and Tom believe that the date
101507 - construction is completed is more important than the date the line is
101508 - energized, since at that time SMUD has access to the facilities for
101509 - its own purposes, even if PG&E does not energize the line.
101510 -
101511 - It seems to me it would be helpful to have a purpose statement that
101512 - explains what is intended to be accomplished.  It took Bill and Tom
101513 - together several hours and several readings to agree on the intent
101514 - and so the whole thing is susceptible to mis-application by everyone
101515 - who reads it at some future time, even by the people who prepare the
101516 - language.  The definition of "Arrangement" recommended on p. 7:24,
101517 - para 3, may be a good place to set out this intent.
101518 -
101519 -    [On 941207 this was done. ref SDS 4 5583.]
101520 -
101521 -  ..
101522 - SMUD Remove Existing Line
101523 -
101524 - Bill asked about the benefit of specifically identifying on the
101525 - drawing of the r/w corridor SMUD is giving to PG&E, the 3 spans of the
101526 - line to be removed prior to UARP Substation, which are thought to be
101527 - active.
101528 -
101529 -    [On 941207 followed up. ref SDS 4 8755.]
