There's no controversy on content of the indemnification letter - Law dept has signed off. Russ will draft it in the same style as the one used on the facade program. The issue is still EPA's access agreement, which (last time around) SEMO insisted be attached to the indemnification letter. We still don't have the final form from EPA (which in turn references a mystical "fact sheet" we have never seen).
—Original Message- From: Avaltronl, Robert Sent: Friday, August 02,2002 3:55 PM To: Ward, Chris Cc: Grob, Shauna; Hoffer, Mark Subject: EPA/FEMA Chris,
I received a call from Kathy Callahan asking me to release the FEMA funds related to Interagency Agreements. As per my conversation with Brad Gair Wednesday evening, funds would be withheld until we had an acceptable agreement.
I just spoke to Brad who will now release the funds so EPA may proceed. He again reinforced FEMA’s position that no funds would be released without my approval.
We had a brief discussion about DOH’s submittal, which has been on hold. Based on my description of the program and its necessity from the City's perspective, he guaranteed that the $400,000 would be approved.
We agreed to continue to work in partnership.
P.S. - Mark,
Brad asked if we had the indemnification letter issue resolved. I told him we had and he would be receiving it early next week. Please get it to Chris or myself so we may satisfy that aspect. Point of entry resolution to follow. We are getting there.
