Mike,
I agree with your sentiment about letting Matt know that we would like to see 
results.  I also appreciate your kind words of support.  I agree we don't need 
a crowd of people at the meeting, but as a technical person in the coalition I 
would welcome Annalyn's presence at the meeting.  I also think Lester's 
experience and  savvy (as well as others) would be welcome and helpful.

Karen,I feel we can try with Matt but, you must be firm that his office has 
been too slow in getting back to us in the past.  we want fast turn over with 
the start of installations of APS  via the list as soon as possible.  AS for 
the meeting, perhaps it should only be you and Gene or maybe one additional 
person making sure the meeting is not too packed with voices and opinions.  I 
am sure your professionalism and Gene's expertise will carry the PASS coalition 
into a worthy result.Mike         From: passcoalition-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Subject: [passcoalition] Update, Matt Hi All, Got a call from Commissioner 
Sapolin yesterday.  He is anxious to move forward with adapting the 
prioritization tool.  Also, he asked pretty directly that we work with him and 
that we and his office approach DOT as a united front.  He has asked for a 
meeting next Wednesday with me and Gene to   work out the tool and then 
strategize on a way forward.  I also received the famous list of aps requests 
that DOT has.  They sent it to Matt, and then he sent it to me.  (and, I can’t 
send it out till Monday due to a network outage at Baruch today.) Matt said in 
our conversation that he’s committed to moving on the other issues we have, but 
that he wants to get a little traction on the APS’s first, and he asks us to 
try this strategy with him.  I told him I for one would be willing to try this. 
 I think his idea is to present some places for DOT to start and just keep 
feeding them direction  .      So, are you all willing to have us try to work 
with him?    He seems really to want to try and seems to be asking us to give 
his way a chance.  Please let me know what you think  Also, that meeting is 
2:00, possibly running till 4:00.  Does anyone have an interest in coming?   
Thanks and talk soon. Karen  Karen
