Response I contacted Jimmy Johnson, the project manager at EPD. He informed me

that they were working on response to the questions that I sent them last

week. He stated that many of the questions at the meeting did not concern the

licensing process; therefore, he has to rely on other organizations to provide

the information to him. He anticipates that he will have a response back to us

within the next week or two. I asked him when the state would approve the

license if they decided to do so. He stated that it would probably be a

lengthy process because there are several other such projects being

considered. He could not give me any date. The City Manager is preparing a

letter for the Mayor's signature to express concern about the questions that

should be answered.
