Ms. Brent,

Thanks for the information. However; I am asking again for the emails sent by Jennifer Smith/ TNG Utility to myself and Ryan Kelley containing utility disconnect list for the months of January-June 2009 in reference to Magnolia Ridge. I would encourage you to contact TNG Utility for the documents I am requesting, as the documents maintained by TNG for Magnolia are property of the city.

Thank you.

Debra, yes, documents retained by TNG concerning government business are under our control. Send a request to TNG. I would like to review or speak about before release.

Also has anyone looked on LuAnn’s computer?

SUBJECT: Engineering Invoice #3

The attached invoice from the City has a copy of Invoice #3 attached. However, the invoice from the City also references unpaid invoices #1 and #2. As far as I know we have not received the referenced invoices #1 and #2. Please send us copies of those invoices for approval and payment. If it is okay with you, we will wait to receive the invoices, then we will pay all three (3) at one time. Thank you.
