050605 - firm.  Increased coordination needed to maintain progress while
050606 - existing staff assume new roles and SDE developes replacement
050607 - staffing. KH study shows SDE drawings require revisions on column
050608 - layouts. KH requests separate meeting to establish standard details
050609 - for framing slab opening.  Meeting was cut short to accomodate Jack

050617 -    or otherwise get into the record that certain matters need to be
050618 -    done and are pending.  SDE is only a few blocks from the Project
050619 -    Office, so Janet could go there, or SDE can come to Project Office
050620 -    for another consultation, if necessary, since Jack cut the meeting
