  One of the interesting items was Marge Paul's communication - it appears the promissary note approved by the city council for the $2 million dollar line of extension was NOT the promissary note that was negotiated by the city.  The city council is going to have to re-approve the measure due to this sloppiness.

Not a good thing, given the current state of the city's finances.
