Dan,
How did your tour with Will go? I hope he was open to a conversation. 1 really think he's the key
to whether there's a deal to be made or not. As to a contract, I'm a little stumped about what to
charge and I like your idea about what the commissioners make per meeting. I think that would
convert to around $70 an hour. Which would work fine for me. As we discussed, I don't want to
nor do I have the time to do this for very long. So, I don't think I'll break your bank!
All the best,
Sue

Dan, looks like a good and packed conference call agenda.
Dan, i can be with you on the conference calls but I'm probably not able to attend the authority
meeting. The Joint Commission is in all likelihood going to be at Providence St Joe's and the CE has
asked me to be there because I chair the quality.committee. The hospital has zero control and
virtually no notice from the JC and their schedule. If anything changes, I will certainly attend. I'm
sorry but the work I'm doing with the three Providence ministries is important for the 1C to see.

Far clarification, your one year prohibition for having worked as an employee of Burbank expired in 2011. Your
one year prohibition for having been a Commissioner is still running, until November of this year, but it does not
apply because you are not representing the Authority in front of the City.
