101224 - expediting the Welch procurement. per our discussion on Wednesday, ref
101225 - SDS 10 line 165.  Since Marcus is doing the procurement on Luster, per

101601 - He advised of having submitted the scope of services to District
101602 - Counsel, John Eft, last Friday and asked him to advise how Max can

101605 -
101606 - Max said he has not yet seen the letter I sent last night on notes of

101610 - We considered that the matter is now in the hands of the "Gods."  If
101611 - John comes up with a constructive approach to resolve the concerns he
101612 - had last December, then we can go forward.
