George Good in a timely manner. I called Mr. Good on July 14,1997 anc�requested information on services they provide, cost of those services, and a letter that they send out to new customers that they are trying to have subscribe. I also requested a co�npiete document of the I.S.O. rating for RuraUMetro since the one I received was a sir�gle page with no indication on the page who this rating was for. I rece�ved a call late afternoon on July 15,1997 telling me Mr. Good received my message and would get me all information required before the next meeting. To date, I have received nothing(except the original one page I.S.O. rating). � �, - �� - ��__ J f ~ Qn July 2�, 1997, I received a message at 3:30pm that Mr. Good had the information I requested. I le�t a message for Mr. Good on July 21,1997, and another message On 3uly 22, 1997 stating I would like to get the i�formation and I could possible pick it up. I have not been able to pick up � the information due to prior commitments. I do not know why RuraUMetro can not provide me with the necessary information I have r�quested in a timely ma�er,but it has placed me in a position where I cannot co�nplete the task given to me. I do not know�vhat steps are left for me to take. I fe�l any information received now will cause a delay in making our decisions. . I apol�gize to you,the othe�board members, and to the Mayor and Cauncil, for not having the information we need,but I feel it is out of my hands. Sincerely, �� .
