Phil had no negative reaction to proceeding in the manner described by this email. However, I did get a read from Bill and Lou that certain EOTT bases should be touched (first) prior to this change in placement of personnel. Therefore, I am asking Bill (by copy of this email) to work with Lou and come up with a list of the names of folks that we should visit with prior to formerly getting this process started. Bottom line: this is a good idea and one that we probably will do, however, prior to formerly beginning posting of the job, etc. - we need to walk the idea through EOTT first. Call me if you have additional thoughts or questions. Thanks for bringing this idea up - I like it.

West Coast and Ed Attanasio EOTT Senior Counsel. This dinner meeting was put together by Gary Fuller. Both Jacobs and Attansio expressed serious concern about ETS's abilty to provide environmental expertise and representation at the EOTT Bakersfield facilities due to Gary's departure. They were concerned because of the numerous visits by state regulatory personnel conducting unnounced onsite inspections and the fact that EOTT may not have an onsite environmental representative. They were highly complementary of Gary and were aware of the good repoire he had established with the agencies and they felt they would be losing this repoire and credibility if his position was not filled with a person located in Bakersfield. As a courtesy to our customer, I told them I would pass on this information to the powers to be in Houston. After a review of the environmental records and the compliance load for what Gary has responsible for, Im wondering if we should fill the Bakersfield position, or move that position to Midland and possibly use Gary as a "temporary technical contact" for ETS. As you may or may not know, Gary is accepting a position with a bakersfield consulting company which specializes in providing operation services for energy companys. Gary will be in charge of the environmental and safety responsibilities for those companies which choose to use their service. I understand that there is some environmental sensitivity in California that does, at times go above what is required in other states. However, getting the employees at the Bakersfield location on board with skill base pay will alleviate much of the existing workload. What the employees can't handle or issues that are above the skill base pay level requirements, can be handled and addressed by Butch and myself with Gary's occasional assistance. Having Gary as a technical contact living in Bakersfield will satisify EOTT's concern of having an environmental expert available for those times when agencies arrive unnounced and at the same time give EOTT the comfort and security that they want by knowing that they will be represented by a person of Gary's reputation and character. In line with this, there appears to be a larger workload and work area in MIdland rather than in Bakersfield. Remediation activites, permitting and compliance will be a full time position with the EOTT, Transwestern and Northern faciltiies which comprise the Midland area. In this area, there are approximately 13 field teams to provide technical assistance and training for. I feel this will be a full time job. I think we should give consideration to possible using Gary's expertise on a part time basis in Bakersfield and relocate and fill his position in Mildand, Tx.
