ODNSS' recommendations/suggestions on a variety of matters and their support activity for NEPCO over the last couple of years has been well received and valued by our internal clients. Thanks.

I memorialized the key points in a summary email. Let me know if you or anyone else would like a copy of it. On the issue of Ogletree training, I had mentioned that it might be more cost efficient to have someone in Florida conduct the training. Mike had indicated a preference to use Mark Stubley at Ogletree. Of course, since Mark has done it for us in the past, I am ok with him doing it as well. I just was looking at the outside expenditures, as we all have been doing lately (particularly outside counsel bills), and thought that there may be some cost savings. In some circumstances, outside counsel who have to travel cut their rates a bit for travel time (don't know if Stubley does that), so the cost differential could be minimal, but I thought I'd raise it since there are qualified attorneys in Florida who could assist in that arena. I'll give Mark a call to finalize the issue of local counsel, which I do not believe to be significant. Because Mark has contacted them, they already have run a conflict check and are ready to go. All it would take to get them "engaged" would be a phone call. There should not be any cost incurred at this point, because they only are on standby, so I think it is good to line them up. I'll let you know if Jim Derrick has any issue with their recommendation. I also have received recommendations for top-notch local labor counsel in Florida if we choose to go that route. Let me know if you have any questions.

I spoke to Michelle Cash and she had not withheld or said different to retaining this counsel. I would suggest that you call Michelle (713-853-6401) anytime you have a concern with regard to the progress of any labor and employment matter handled by outside or inside counsel. And if Stubley is concerned about who he would like to work with in Florida, he is equally able to call Michelle and discuss it. As for a review of the training on union avoidance by Ogletree Deakins, by copy to Michelle, I'll ask for her input here. I saw the correspondence from Mr. Fitzgerald regarding his meeting with the Mayor of Lake Worth. I interpret this as a public official saying what is expected, neither favoring the picketers or us, just saying he will up-hold the law. We appreciate that. David H.

She indicated that Enron might want to use another firm. In the meantime, we will continue to use Cole Fitzgerald. On September 24, I copied you (as well as Michelle Cash and David Lund) on Cole's correspondence concerning his meeting with the mayor of Lake Worth. So, his connections should prove helpful. Lund has provided me a copy of NEPCO's subcontract. Our review and comments should be complete by Friday. We conducted the quick, over-the-phone training for the management team at Lake Worth approximately two weeks ago. We agreed to conduct on-site training when more of the project management team is present at the site. No specific time is scheduled. We have not received a plat for the project. We have not determined the gate setup. We have determined, however, that all construction traffic and deliveries would use the southern gate, not the main gate to the facility. -----Original Message----- From: Mike.Indivero@nepco.com [ mailto:Mike.Indivero@nepco.com ] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 2:17 PM To: mark.stubley@odnss.com Cc: Galen.Torneby@nepco.com; Bob.Black@nepco.com; Gloria.Rivas@nepco.com; Mike.Croall@nepco.com; rick.johnson@enron.com Subject: lake worth project mark...where are with possibly of obtaining local counsel for the lake worth project?..have we reviewed the fence/gate issue and come to some conclusions?...also what about the training we discussed?... pls let me know ..thanks...mike ********************************************************************** This e-mail is the property of Enron Corp. and/or its relevant affiliate and may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient (s).
