Thanks Heather From: Mann, Heather [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2011 02:47 PM To: Hansen, Beth Subject: redistricting meetings Dear Beth: I am following up on a conversation Troy had with you about a planned Ohio visit from Mark Braden and John Morgari, the consultant on the data/technical end of redistricting. They will be in Columbus Thursday, July 7 and Friday, July 8. We would like to make them available for an individual meeting with the Governor (as well as the other apportionment board members) those days. Right now they are blocked off for staff training that Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, but of course we can move those around. Please advise if there is a time that might work. Additionally, I spoke with Matt Schuler and Troy Judy about setting up a weekly staff meeting on redistricting starting in the next two weeks, at which you or your designee could be present. Is there a regular time that would work for your schedule? I was thinking perhaps sometime on Mondays? Finally, not that you have any spare time, but would you like to grab coffee or lunch sometime in the next two weeks? Thank you, Heather Mann Heather N. Mann, Esq. Redistricting Director & Dep.
