That is the person Pete is talking about. -----Original Message----- From: Reyes, Jim Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2001 9:30 AM To: O'Neil, Murray P.; Stokley, Chris Subject: FW: FW: CAISO Notification - MDAS-Online Changes I send this to Pete. Is there someone on FSP/VMS who should know about these changes to Meter collection? Poston? Jim -----Original Message----- From: Davis, Pete Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2001 9:10 AM To: Reyes, Jim Subject: Re: FW: CAISO Notification - MDAS-Online Changes Jim, I have passed this information on to the group (Mike Marryott) that will be making the appropriate changes to the Meter Scout. I don't own that application in the FSP/VMS world (at least for now). The Meter Scout will have to be re-written to handle the new procedures.
