This is what I remember as next steps: <br /> • You had wanted to talk with Randy and Glen before making any decision. <br /> • I had concerns about conflicting financial information that I felt we should resolve. <br /> • Kitty was going to research any adjustments made to baselines for surplus vehicles. <br /> • Jeff was going to provide additional information related to the retained surplus vehicles. <br /> Then the timeframe and resolution process gets fuzzy. Somehow we were going to evaluate what we <br /> came up with. I understand now that Fleet is very anxious to resolve this quickly and hope to go to <br /> Execs ASAP (this week or next). <br /> Kitty does not expect to be able to research her part until at least next week sometime. I think we <br /> should wait until we have the GF forecast (presented to Execs Nov 7m - it is probably not available <br /> much sooner) and know the magnitude of any deficit before we consider any resolution to fleet rates <br /> outside of the decision package process. The timeframe for knowing the forecast and Kitty's ability to <br /> <br /> j finish her research match up. We should be able to get information together, meet with you/others, <br /> and then have information to Execs for a decision on the 14tH . <br /> <br /> I <br /> To include something different than the normal increase to fleet rates in the forecast that goes to BC <br /> on the 18tH we need to know what that amount is by the 14tH and amend the forecast presented on the <br /> 7tH. Currently the standard rate increase is included in the forecast. This would mean passing the <br /> amended GF forecast out on the meeting of the 18tH rather than mailing it beforehand. After the 18tH, I <br /> believe an chan es becomes ecific adds and subtracts. <br /> Y g p <br /> am personally reluctant for us to consider a significant change in fleet rates outside of the normal <br /> decision process. (Especially after Fleet's 20% increase last year.) I don't doubt that the increase is <br /> warranted, only that it seems inappropriate to consider a consecutive, significant increase to Fleet with <br /> out evaluating it against all the other needs Execs identify. However, there may be reasons...... <br /> Does an Exec meeting on the 14tH work? Would you please provide additional direction? Thank you. <br /> Cindi <br /> 2 <br /> <br />
