On September 30, 1980, we held a meeting in Mr. Rupp's
office to review the status of the mappIng corrections. The
meeting was attended by Messrs. Lang and Seaholm (CWCB), Mr.
Kerry Dynes (Kucera & Associates, a subcontractor to Ponderosa
Engineering), and Mr. Rupp. At the meeting Rupp maintained the
errors were the result of map plotting and Mr. Dynes maintained
that the field surveys were In error. Both finally agreed to
recheck their work and report back to us.

On October 17, 1980, we talked by phone to Mr. Dynes about
the progress. He requested that the field surveys on the east
end of the project area be redone. Neither Mr. Dynes nor the
CWCB had heard anything from Mr. Rupp on his findings or any
proposed actions to remedy the problem on his part.

On October 24, 1980, I received a letter from Mr. John
McGinn, City Administrator, advising me on discussions that he
recently had with Mr. Rupp. He stated that Mr. Rupp was not
aware of any corrections which he had been requested to perform.

After 21 telephone calis, 5 meetings, and numerous letters
and memos, it was decided by concerned parties that I write to
the State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and
Land Surveyors requesting its assistance and guidance on these
matters.

Upon receipt of a copy of my October 29, 1981 letter to the
Registration Board, Mr. Rupp immediately called me. I received
at least 3 to 4 telephone calls from Mr. Rupp within a week.
They varied in content from outright threats to a degree of
cooperation to develop acceptable maps.

After the October 29, 1981, letter and numerous telephone
conversations, Mr. Rupp became more cooperative.

Please note the penciled comments which we have written in
the margins of Mr. Rupp's November 5, 1980, Memo to Interested
Parties (Attachment 2).

Major pieces of correspondence relative to this matter are
contained in the folder Labeled Attachment 3.

We Finally received acceptable mapping from Ponderosa
Enginering on March 2, 1981, which was approximately 15 months
Late. The impacts of this poor performance are as follows:

1. The engineering consultants have not completed the
engineering studies because of bankrupt budgets.
