• Deryl Redden, Ron Johnson and Bill Smith, LATTC Facilities Manager visited the Apffel's Coffee House as a potential office space for the CPM Team to move into in the future. It appears that these buildings are not seismically retrofitted and ultimately scheduled for demolition. Therefore, it is not advisable to invest dollars for seismic retrofitting. CPM has other alternatives such as leasing of trailers as has been the case at other LACCD Campuses.

• A resolution meeting will be held between the LATTC Management, CPM and MDA JF to review comments on Value Engineering Report submitted by HFG. After this meeting LATTC Management will decide what aspects of the report should be incorporated in the design of the North & South Building- South Campus.
  
  
• Final comments by the LATTC administration are pending with reference to the Gymnasium Complex schematic design. LATTC Campus will either give direction to proceed with the current design concept or revert to design, which could potentially delay submission of the final DD submittal date. CPM is current reviewing the schedule to evaluate the impact of both scenarios.
  
  
• A copy of the 'Opinions' by California Legislative Counsel regarding a Public Agency using incentive and rebate programs for Energy saving measures and its Installations was received via Siemens on January 20, 2004 with favorable conditions for inclusion in the calculations which may assist LATTC in initiating the PV System.
