I will need some backup here. I am scheduled to work and I will not be able to make this.

David....thanks for all you are doing....this is a tough one as I will be in MO this weekend....hopefully one of the other folks will be able to make this meeting. Our positions are well known, but we always need to be there to make the case when other "interested parties" go another way.

[David B]

Are you going to be able the WRAC meeting? I understand all that you are going through. Sorry I asked.

[N. Cook]

I really appreciate the kind words from all, Jane is very thankful...I put her on a plane yesterday am to go home and be with her Dad this week....Corey and I will be going up Friday for the Memorial Mass on Sat. We will all be back Sunday pm.

I do plan on going to the WRAC. Glad to be able to have someone with the excellent knowledge of the area in question and known to the staff making pertinent comments....I will be glad to support you where I can.

If we do not get someone at the Sat. meeting it will just have to be missed. Fred and the staff know our positions and we probably can get in a few more licks at the WRAC...on or off the floor. Fred knows I am missing a meeting as I will be out of town...but at the time I let him know I thought it would be the WRAC I would miss....Not a lot of difference.

David, your help on this is really appreciated....no one, probably not even the SFWMD staff, knows as much about the area as you!

I can't make the WRAC on Thursday but I am planning to cover the KPUA meeting Saturday.

[David B]

Converted,

Thank you for covering the PUA meeting for us. It would be in our best/my interest if I stayed in the shadows away from the PUA meetings. It really could become a conflict of interest for me at work. The WRAC meetings aren't as close to the bone.


David/Newton- I looked over Fred's presentation (WRAC) and haven't found much that stands out. Do you need to open my eyes?
The airboat access issues will be a hot topic for sure. We still stand behind the PUA regs for future incoming lands added on the KCOL . Is there anything else that we need to discuss, if so call me. I will be home tonight and tomm. evening after 6 pm.


Thanks again
David B.
