[Trees-executive] Letter yo Millberg

[Carl H. Malmgren, II]

Jim,
That flows better.  Please look at the note I sent to EC and the BN 
folk about an initial IP meeting then a public 10th meeting.  I 
believe it (the combo meeting) would allow us to ask "probing" 
questions that they would simply spin in public.  By meeting with a 
panel representing both of our groups (BN and CU) we cold at least 
acquire information that would further our agenda and provide us a 
basis on direction.

Carl

PS Gretchen I don't have a BN list auto set up so can you send this 
to the Gang of five.

Carl


>Here is my version:
>
>Thank you for your suggestion to meet on April 9th to discuss the structure
>of our General Meeting which will take place on April 10th at 7 PM at the
>Champaign Public Library. However, the Executive Committee of Illinois
>Power Customers United to Save Our Trees has decided that for us to meet in
>private on the 9th would be superfluous and not in the interests of both
>parties. We propose the following structure for the April 10th public
>meeting: A panel of speakers including one person from Illinois Power will
>speak to the group. Each speaker will be allowed fifteen minutes. When the
>panel has spoken, we will then allow questions from the audience. You
>mentioned wanting to bring Mr. Pontifex, Ms. Albin, and possible a forester.
>These people could be present, but one of you should be the designated
>speaker for Illinois Power. Should technical questions about pruning
>techniques arise, the forester could answer from the floor.
>
>I believe I mentioned on the phone that the Champaign Public Library is
>located at 505 South Randolph, but the entrance is from the parking lot
>behind the building. The library requires that we be out of the building
>promptly at 9 PM, so we must limit the time of the speakers on the panel,
>so that we will have time for questions afterwards.
>
>I hope that this has answered your concerns about the format for the
>meeting, and I look forward to receiving your confirmation that you will
>be able to attend the meeting on April 10th.
