It Sc .s that there's some confusion with DEP about your proposed poll - Have u reached out to Bob Avaltroni since his e-mail (the one we inte . eted differently; I thinking he was unaware of the policy prop 1 and thinking he was unaware of the agency claims)?
It si..:.s like FEMA project staff are operating on the assumption that this poll • is already in place (see Walter's BOE e-mail you forwarded to rae), howe -, I we need to clarify the situation with DEP, and I still need to hear ck from the Law department as well.
