From: Hoffer, Mark Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 1:39 PM To: Ward, Chris; Avaltroni, Robert Cc: Schiano, Frank Subject: WTC Update
I received several calls over the past 18 hours or so.
1. Late yesterday evening, I got a call from Laurel BIc/chford. She had previously asked for, and received from me, the most recent draft FEMA letter plus a lengthy e-mail explaining what the issue was. She said Sharon Greenberger (I think I got the name right) was reviev / ig it and would provide me with economic development language to use. I have still not heard back from her.
She also told me that FEMA had called her yesterday, very nervous about the City "backing out" of the program (unclear where FEMA got that suggestion). She said she had to call FEMA to "calm them down".
2. More importantly, I received a call from Larry Kahn of the Law Departmerit this AM, in which he indicated that the program had been discussed with Michael Cardozo, and that while Law was not going to push for revisiting whether the City should be involved at all, it was asking for further changes to what has already been proposed. The changes are itemized in the attached list.
Frank Schiano is doing some fact checking on #3 and whether this is obtainable. If it is, this is simply a matter of time and money; i.e, soliciting and buying the insurance (and you may not wish to invest the time, given the public statements that have been made).
The issue now is that there seems to be "too many cooks" at work in the kitchen. I'm not sure who is talking to whom and about what. Can we meet briefly to discuss? Thanks.
