Subsequently, through a letter dated August 26, 2003, <br />Kevin Salter offered an explanation that appears to reconcile the different interpretations, <br />This letter is included as Appendix 7, <br /> <br />It is recommended that the Operations Committee apr>rove the explanation offered by Mr. <br />Salter, direct that an accounting entry be made to complete the transaction initiated with <br />the entry made March 15,2003, and direct that any future accounting entries of this type <br />be made to conform to that suggested in Mr, Salter's letter. Further, it is recommended <br />that the Committee direct the Assistant Operations Secretary to draft a clarifying <br />resolution that the Committee may recommend to the Administration to memorialize the <br />Administration's intent in this matter for the future, <br /> <br />Use of the transit loss account #32 <br /> <br />Historically, water in the Kansas transit loss account, as referenced in Sections II E (4) <br />and ill D of the 1980 Operating Plan, has been used by the Operations Secretary to <br /> <br />- 11 - <br />
