Hope this serves the purpose.

I do have the budget written, and in circulation to the Committee. I could run with that at any time, and I do have a written proposal for the public notice part of the report. Other than that I have an item to request continuation of the current program until the Committee comes up with recommendations to avoid a lapse (could be at a subsequent meeting). So there is a fair amount of ready to go written material. What is your deadline for getting these from me to the Board? I need to talk to Tim this morning anyway, should I ask him what his preference is for this while I have him on the phone?

I "assumed" that Scott Terrell would let you know what to provide and that he would provide something. I do think it is a good idea for the board to have something to review before the meeting. Thanks so much—How should I handle this in the future for 8/14/2007 GM Search Comments Page 1 of 2 Barbara Cahill ......_._...._._..............

If they need something written up more fomally than that I'll have to get on it immediately, as it doesn't currently exist. Let me know if it's needed or if an outline will do. Thanks, Doug 8/13/2007
