Hello all, Lorraine and I have been unable to get ourselves down to the meetings lately.
Being new parents has us pretty exhausted but we are getting the hang of it.
Tyler James is growing so fast.
Maybe next month we will make it.
Anyway, we did have a question about the newly adopted city lot size ordinance that was passed in December.
Is there something printed that specifically addresses how this affects our neighborhood?
Do we know what the average lot size is in Montrose?
Does this mean that no more old classic homes can be torn down to build 3 townhomes?
Also, we were wondering if anyone has noticed the parking problems lately due to the Eclesiastic church on Taft?
They seem to provide no parking for their events which seem to occur more often every month.
They have done alot of work on that church and I have never noticed one single permit posted on their structure.
We don't really know these people and have nothing against them but don't they need to comply with city parking and building codes?
Maybe these issues can be addressed in next months newsletter?

A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage on a train.
After their initial embarrassment, they both go to sleep.
The man takes the top bunk, and the woman takes the lower bunk.
In the middle of the night, the man leans over and wakes the woman, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly get me another blanket?"
The woman leans out and, with a glint in her eye, says, "I have a better idea... just for tonight... let's make pretend that we're married."
The man replies with excitement, "Okay!
Sure!"
"Good," says the woman, "Get your own damn blanket!"

Teb, Could you please confirm the rules regarding the sunset date defined by the Commission as it relates to the capacity release price cap waiver.
I know the date established in the Order is September 30, 2002; however I want to make sure the interpretation is correct.
If a release is less than one year in duration, but extends beyond September 30, 2002, then should it be capped at the pipeline's max tariff rate.
Or, could some try to interpret it to mean that as long as an offer was posted on or before this date for a release period of less than one year, then the release could be awarded at rates in excess of the tariff rate.
I want to make sure that there is no confusion if customers question this.
Additionally, has there been any discussion about extending this beyond the sunset date.
Please advise.
Thanks,
| Order 637 - Capacity Release Price Cap Waiver |

Transwestern is getting ready to begin testing their new contract system.
In preparation for implementation of the new system, we need to make changes to TW's tariff to allow the option of Electronic Contracting the same way we did to FGT's tariff when we implemented their new system.
The new contract system is scheduled to go into production Q1, 2002.
Teb, do we need a meeting, or can you proceed?
Let me know.

Teb - I have revised the affidavit.
Please call Iris (3-6059) if you need someone to notarize this and/or the verification for the discovery.
Thanks!
| Teb's Affidavit |
Take a look at this.
Note that this does not address capacity release issues.
I think that might be too much for this letter.
I think we should take that up separately.
Probably, an ad hoc basis is best to start with.
For example, I think we should work with Marc of FPU on an individual basis and see what happens.
Then we would be able to feel more confident on whether to call a meeting on this or not.

Sorry to have taken your time with this.
Please thank Zelda again for me for helping out and returning my telephone call, which I asked her to do.
Hope it was okay for her to make the long-distance call here.
I'm so pleased to have Mother riding to Texas with me, especially since I've been so tired lately.
Thanks again.

Hi guys, Jenny Johnson here.
My husband and I are running a small bookstore in space lent to us by Ecclesia Church.
I wanted to let you know that they do have a building permit for the construction going on there; you can see it in the window of the door that's on the center right as you face the building.
Though they aren't breaking parking codes with their events, they do realize that they are inconveniencing the neighborhood and will be paving a lot in the back of their building to alleviate pressure on nearby streets.
They want to be good neighbors and would welcome hearing concerns that anyone has.
Also, here's a little plug, while we're at it: The bookstore is called Strange Land Books.
We specialize in classic and contemporary fiction, culture studies, and Christian theology.
We're non-profit, and proceeds benefit Houston literacy projects.
Our opening party is this Fri., Jan. 25, from 6-9 pm.
We'll take twenty percent off all books all night, and have light refreshments courtesy of the coffeeshop/vegetarian cafe that will also soon open in the same space.
Please come see us, and if you have any more questions about what's going on at 2115 Taft, email me with them.
If I can't answer, I'll refer you to someone who can.

For those of you who saw the two big trucks, rescue vehicle and ambulance at my house on Sunday and the many of you who have asked: Thank heaven, all is well!
One of my tenants left something on the stove to run to the store, and then decided to make another prolonged stop.
The other tenant, the only one home at the time, smelled something "really bad" as she was leaving to meet friends and called the fire department.
Firefighters (a total of four vehicles) arrived in something incredible, like five minutes!
Thanks to her, only the chicken and the pot were casualties.

Hello you all, I want to let you know that I faxed Mother's receipt for her airline ticket to Teb's fax machine.
I just spoke with Zelda (Teb's asst.
), who said it arrived.
Diane, could you go to Zelda's office and pick it up?
She's in Room EB3990.
She said she would be there for another couple of hours, but if she had to leave before you got there, she'd leave it on her desk in an envelope with your name on it.
Mother needs this when she checks in at the airport tomorrow, so could you, Pres or Diane, please take it to her tonight?
I called Mother this afternoon to tell her she didn't need to make the trip if she didn't feel up to it, but she said she was already packed and looked forward to it.
So I think it's going to work out well for all concerned.
Thank you, everyone, for helping me with this.
Sorry to have bothered you with it but I didn't know how else to get the receipt to her.
Love,
| Mother's |
In response to the message about the burgluries, I would like to say that there has been a tremendous increase in this activity over the past couple years.
Lorraine and I experienced our first such event last winter when a heavily tatooed man broke into our home in broad daylight to steal our bicicles, precious jewelry and other items.
We have 2 dogs that bark at everything but they did not deter this man as he paid no mind to them.
A few weeks ago there were 3 or 4 car break-ins on Taft Street but I don't think any of these were reported to the police.
We had mentioned this at previous meetings but would just like to remind everyone to keep their eyes open and call the police if you see anything suspicous at all.
As more and more new people move into town, the chance of being burglured will increase.
The policewoman that responded to our call said that our area is a target for theft.
I don't think there is any reason to panic or consider moving to the burbs, it is just a fact of life that these crimes will occur.
We all need to act as one and watch out for each other.
When I first moved here back in 1994 I remember talking to a guy whom I think was the president of EMCA at the time (can't remember his name, but he lived accross the street from me) Him and his wife moved to Russia or something.
Anyway, there was a neighborhood watch program in affect where people took turns driving and walking the neighborhood.
Is there anything like this going on now?
Just wondering.

I've incorporated my final comments into the attached draft (not red-lined).
Below are a couple of additional notes.
Footnote 4 does not appear at the bottom of the page where the actual footnote resides; it appears on the following page.
This may clear up when all the formatting is completed or it may be something that needs to be fixed.
Also, there is a line drawn above the footnote that should not be there.
I added language under #2 on page 3.
Our rationale in the second paragraph needed a lead-in, which I added to the end of the first paragraph.
For footnote 5, I deleted the text, which was from an earlier note of mine.
I changed the footnote to reference the new paragraph number instead of a page number in the NOPR.
The quote is in paragraph 7 of the NOPR.
Please revise the footnote to use the proper verbiage.

As many of you know, yesterday we closed on Dynegy's option to acquire Northern Natural.
Shortly, a more comprehensive message will be distributed about that transaction and what it means for all of us.
One important requirement under that transaction is that Enron Operations Services Company has agreed to continue providing certain services to Northern consistent with our past operations.
Northern will be billed for those services, and we will be required to demonstrate the basis for those billings.
Effective, Feb. 1, all employees in the ETS family of companies that perform any services for Northern or related to Northern's operations in any way should keep timesheets documenting the amount of time spent on Northern projects or supporting personnel and activities related to Northern projects.
If there are any questions about this requirement, please communicate with your department head or with me.
Thanks for your help in implementing this important requirement.

The policy spelled out in Order No.
637 (and affirmed on rehearing in Order No.
637-A) for pricing under ROFR at the expiration of a lower-rate service agreement (where rates are "vintaged").
In both Order No 637 and Order No.
637-A the Commission notes that this policy is consistent with the Certificate Policy Statement issued in 1999.
Order No.
637 states as follows: [A] shipper exercising its ROFR could be required to match a bid up to a maximum rate higher than the historic maximum rate applicable to its capacity in certain limited circumstances: when a pipeline expansion has been completed and an incremental rate exists on the system; the pipeline is fully subscribed; and there is a competing bid above the maximum pre-expansion rate applicable to existing shippers.
* * * As the Commission explains in the Certificate Policy Statement, to adjust the maximum rate applicable to shippers exercising their ROFR in these circumstances, the pipeline would have to establish a mechanism for reallocating costs between the historic and incremental rates so all rates remain within the pipeline's cost-of-service.
The mechanism can be established either through a general section 4 rate case or through the filing of pro forma tariff sheets which would provide the Commission and the parties with an opportunity to review the proposal prior to implementation.
Order No.
637 references one instance where a pipeline had filed such a mechanism as follows: Cf.
Viking Gas Transmission Company, 89 FERC Para.
61,204 (1999) (rejecting tariff filing to raise matching rates under a ROFR where, among other things, the filing did not readjust existing and expansion rates.
Jan and I are doing a search right now to determine where there have been any other filings.
I'll let you know what we find.
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

California: I99-07-003 SoCalGas Unbundling.
In addtion to the Southern California Generation Coalition (SCGC), the National Energy Marketers Association has also filed a Request for Rehearing of the unbundling decision.
Filing protests of the Implementation Plan this week were Indicated Producers, TURN, Dynegy, the City & County of San Francisco and SCGC.
I00-11-002 Adequacy of SoCalGas System.
A number of parties filed comments on the impact of the unbundling decision on this proceeding.
All were in agreement that the CSA has created a system of unbundled, firm and tradable backbone transmission rights on the SoCalGas system and establishes the procedures for allocation of those rights therefore the capacity allocation proposals in the capacity OII are moot.
Arizona: Legislature - Gov.
Jane Hull has advised lawmakers to either kill a scheduled 5% pay raise for the 50,000 state employees taking effect on April 1, 2002, or risk laying off 2600 employees.
With a 13 percent drop in withholding taxes, the states current revenue deficit is expected to be in the $200 to 250 million range.
Canceling the pay increases would save $24,000 in the current fiscal year and $100,000 next year.
Democrats are trying to save the raises, while the majority Republicans are supporting the proposal and threatening to shutdown the session by Feb. 15th if legislators don't face up to the budget problems and solve them.
New Mexico: Legislature - Identical House Bill 423 and Senate Bill 369 were introduced this week to fund ($75,000) an update of the 1996 study regarding the economic feasibility of additional natural gas pipeline systems.
The 1996 study found a lack of capacity to move gas east especially from the Northwestern portion of the state.
If the bill is passed, a committee is to provide the results of the study and recommendations to the governor and legislature by December 15, 2002 for consideration in the next legislative session.
House Bill 230 provides for an expanded definition of "Indian Country" to include lands subject to "restriction by the United States against alienation" (i.e.
lands held in fee by a tribe).
As proposed, the new definition would go beyond the current federal definition of "Indian Country".
The State Highway and Transportation Dept.
Office of General Council has pointed out that if the proposed state law conflicts with federal law, then the federal law will take precedent.
This has been forwarded to Lou Saldano for review.

Wednesday afternoon Febuary 6th, 2002, the Enron building experienced a brief power outage.
The building is powered by one of two Reliant circuits.
Yesterday, while a backup circuit was turned off for nearby construction of the light rail system, the primary circuit failed.
Typically, the backup system would have switch on immediately, but because the backup circuit was off the building's backup generators were activated creating what was perceived by some as smoke.
While there was no fire within the building, many employees quickly evacuated the building through the stairwell.
Given heighten concerns for national security, evacuation was indeed appropriate and we appreciate that employees conducted the evacuation calmly and courteously.

This outage will affect corporate-wide applications accessing the Envision web query, FileNet Panagon IDM Desktop, FileNet IDM for R3, Panagon Capture professional.
Users will be able to access IBuyit and IPayit from SAP but will not be able to view invoices.
Feb. 16 From 10:30 - 11:30 p.m., the Omaha Infrastructure team will reconfigure the power connections for the Omaha Inverse MUX.
This change will result in a total disruption of IP communication between Omaha and Houston.
The outage should only last for a few minutes.
The maintenance time will be coordinated with the HotTap helpdesk to ensure processing has been completed.
All support staff whose applications are affected by this outage should communicate this change to their customers.
Please ensure they are aware of the possibility of an extended outage in the event the Inverse MUX does not properly re-establish communications.
LAT and DecNet communications for gas control will not be affected by this maintenance.

Hello everyone, We have started an exciting project and would like to let everyone know about it and hopefully get some help with it.
We are asking people to donate their aluminum cans and the proceeds will be used to recycle a house for Habitat For Humanity.
Monday morning between 6 and 8 am on channel 26, they are airing an article about the project.
It should be an interesting article.
They have interviewed Dave Daniel's, Director of Development for Habitat, me inside the trailer where we put the cans and a woman that is receiving a house.
The Houston area is throwing away enough aluminum cans to sponsor 116 houses.
We only recycle 51% of the cans sold.
It takes 95% less energy to recycle than to mine and produce new.
If anyone would like to talk to me about this project, please give me a call at home: 713 522-3123 or at work: J D Metals 832 467-3199.

The current schedule is : Oct : Kam (I forgot what topic you were going to do) Nov : John - a revisit of OA (this time with a working overhead) Dec : skip - I suggest we skip Dec since there will be quite a few vacations taken, holidays, etc.
For the other topics, why don't you decide among yourselves, who is going to do what and when.
Please just let me know so that I can be sure we have things scheduled for Jan going forward.

Scott and Ed, Per a minibook I ran as of 11/30/01 (w/ the one deal corrected that ENA had misbooked), the value due to Enron should be $214,000 (Dec'01 - Dec'03).
This value is PV'd at LIBOR not 10% as requested by the counterparty.
The value does not include attorney's fees requested by Interconn of $1,500.
In addition, Interconn would need to pay the November '01 invoice due to Enron of approximately $1MM.
The final settlement will need to be approved by the Creditor's Committee before Enron can agree to alleviate Interconn of their contractual obligations regardless if the settlement value is agreed upon by both counterparties.
Let me know if the counterparty has any further discrepancies with the value I calculated above.
Thanks,
| Interconn Resources |

All - Starting Wednesday, we all have lots of work to do to get the new company up and running on time.
Going forward, we need to be a proactive organization as opposed to a reactive organization.
Given that we have the best people in the organization going over, this should not be difficult to accomplish.
Let me be very clear.
Playing on the internet will not be tolerated.
There is too much that has to get done over the next two weeks.
That message needs to be communicated to everyone going to the new company.
If people feel like they do not have anything to do, they should be reading about options or the gas business.
This is a great opportunity for people to make themselves better employees.
I have no problem changing the lists if someone steps up, or if someone doesn't.
Below, are a few things I need your help with over the next few days.
(i) Budget (due Jan 2, 2002) First year budget to include all start up costs (some of which can be amortized) Each of you needs to draw up a budget for your region by the end of the day Wednesday.
Use the format that we used for the Enron 2002 Budget process.
Russ and Greg.
You will be one cost center in the new organization.
John, can you be responsible for coordinating this and compiling all budgets into one by Wednesday night?
(ii) Re-start/Integration Plans (due on Jan 3) To be forwarded to Louise These plans need to be detailed and show clear detailed timelines and detailed responsibilities for getting us up and running as soon as possible.
The current restart date is January 21, 2001 but may be pushed forward to January 14, 2002.
I need to detailed plans for what files we are moving, the systems we need, and anything that will make the move better for the business.
Kam - Can you coordinate and give me the list be Thursday evening?
(iii) Seating Plans Tammy Shepperd to co-ordinate We need to start the planning process for seating as we will be living on floors 5 & 6 of the Enron South building.
If you have any preferences in this area let me know ASAP, so that I can make requests now.
(iv) Due Diligence We continue the process with two new companies this week (Wednesday and Thursday).
Andy Zipper is taking the lead for the company arriving on Wednesday, please help him with his requirements.
Just so you know, there will be more people in this week.
Please let me know how I can help in getting everything done.
I look forward to a great year working with all of you.
Thanks for all of your hard work.

Sasquatch 2002 is now saved out into: O, erms, 1intra, financialsdb.
Please save it onto your c drive before using it.
I made one quick adjustment.
There is no need to put in your cpr dollars and volumes to get your wacog.
The program will calculate your UA4 day-by-day and the P&l's calculate the values.
You still need to put in your wacog's in the P&l's.
Again, please send me all "wishes" about the program and I will try to accomodate all requests.
I would like to roll the final product out to everyone in two weeks and plan to have a brown bag on it at that time.
In the meantime, please feel free to ask me any questions about the program.
Thanks again for your attention.

When: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 10:00 AM-11:00 AM (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada).
Where: ECS 05055 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* We are beginning the development stage of our Consolidated Gas System - Reporting project and we need to get more detailed information about the location of data that is being pulled in WeaponX presently.
The majority of the reports we have been able to locate in ERMS but there are a couple where the data has not been found.
We need to map the present location of the data to ensure all information will be in the new system.
We would also like to go through a calc (step-by-step) to ensure all necessary pieces will be included in the new system.
We are requesting one representative from Risk Management be present to answer a few questions.
A data architect and a developer will be present to ask necessary questions to get off to a good start.
Please let me know who will be available from the Risk side.
Thank you.
| Development Stage of CGS |
Phillip, I apologize that it has taken so long to send these to you.
Accomplishments: 1.
Publish the IntraMonth (Physical) and Gas Daily Curves for the East Desk on a daily basis.
This involves communicating with the traders who mark the curves and checking for reasonableness for the spreads that are set.
I spend extra time before publishing making sure that the curves are correct so that they do not have to be re-published which can slow my co-workers down.
During Bid week, extra curve loading procedures are followed so that we can start publishing curves for the prompt month.
I also maintain the live feed from the Nymex screen to TDS so that the traders can see Live Curve Shift.
I make sure that all three curve files are updating and publishing correctly and communicate with Pete Keavey to constantly update the Cash/Futures spread (i.e.
What the Hub is trading at.)
If TDS is not updating correctly, then it is my responsibility to fix the problem.
2.
Maintain the daily P&L for Gulf 3, Gulf 4, and Gulf 5.
These books contain both physical and financial pieces as well as options.
The main accomplishment in this area has been practicing the technique of hedging using Gas Daily Swaps to keep my trader flat when Gulf 5 was in use.
This was done on a daily basis for 2 months so that my trader, Chuck Ames, did not carry any positions.
It involved swaps and annuities between Gulf 4 and Gulf 5.
By the end of the month, Gulf 5 will be eliminated and the transfer of deals from Gulf 5 to Gulf 4 will be complete.
3.
Update the calc sheet for Enron's long term deal with Florida Power & Light.
I work on computing the desk price for this deal so that the variance between our Economic Estimate and what Unify Should Be is reduced to less than $100.
I check on all the different legs of the deal to make sure that the volumes in Sitara and Tagg are matching and therefore we are coming up with the correct amount for Total Liquidations.
Computing the desk price is an important piece to this deal and usually results in a net change of > $200,000 each month to my Gulf 4 book.
It used to take 2 full days each month of trial and error to compute the desk price until I computed the formula which only requires 2 guesses then will give you the true desk price eliminating any variance each time.
I shared this formula with Alejandra and it is now used in several calc sheets that Ed is currently working on since Alejandra left.
4.
Helped to create a new version of Weapon X. James Hungerford and I worked together to create a new version of Weapon X that could be used regardless of whether the physical book has fuel expense or not.
This version (Weapon XY) can be used and adapted to fit every physical book within Natural Gas.
It reduced the number of versions that people were using from 9 to 1.
If needed, one person could run and export Weapon X for every physical book on their desk.
This saves time when you are running Weapon X for someone while they are out or on vacation.
I helped to install Weapon XY on the Central Desk and the West Desk and trained others how to use to the new version.
5.
Tie out the OA Flash tab for the Gulf Region on the East Desk at the end of each month.
On the First Day of the month, I make sure that the OA Flash tab for the gulf region (the books Gulf1, Gulf2, Gulf3, Gulf4, TP1, TP2, and Northeast) match what is expected for Transport Commodity and Demand Expense.
I gather the OA Flash tabs for all books and check for any variances.
I also communicate with Jeanne Wukasch in Logistics to make sure that these numbers are absolutely correct before saving out to the Last Day files.
This effort is done in an effort to prevent as much OA as possible.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Make sure on the TDS Curve Manager not to hit the button on the publish sheet.
This button normally brings in the latest version of code, however the latest version does not include information for the 'Y' curve.
This will be fixed after the code freeze that is now in place is released.
Any questions or problems, give me a call.

Please pass this onto the individuals in your groups: Tomorrow's simulation and Friday's desk to desk trading will provide an excellent opportunity for us to double check the online deals in tagg and sitara.
Please pay special attention to these deals and let me know of any bridging issues.
Even though we have been testing and having various people check the deals in the underlying systems, I am afraid of any logic that may be hardcoded in the bridge.
Notify me immediately of any deals that are bridging incorrectly and I will try to resolve as soon as possible.
I will also be watching the bridge to research any failed deals.
Thanks for your help.
Let's hope for a smooth transition!

There is a P&L Summary for east desk in the Netco directory located at O:/ERMS/erms_adm/Netco/2002/0102/Regions0102/_Converted/East P&L Summ.
Please take a look at it and tell me what you think.
To simplify and speed up the reporting process, I added buttons that will link to the P&L's.
The format may or may not resemble formats used on other desks, but I do believe the data shown is comprehensive.
Errol - This may not fit your needs on the financial desk.
You may need to design your own.
If so, let me know if I can help.

There is a file under Netco for all currently unused books, rolls and hedge strips.
O:\erms\erms_adm\netco\unused books.
Rather than deleting these, they will remain here until they are needed.
The NGP&L will link to these, once they are needed we will start saving it to the regions file and the links will be updated.
There is also a hedgestrip saved for each book to the live and unused books files.
We should also start creating a common file for each region to post the P&L to the website.
Let's try to keep these the same format.
East has a good file that shows new deals and curveshift.
West used a macro to pull in finished P&L's instead of updating links which eliminated some problems, Randy could help with this.
Figure out what format you want and use that for all regions.
I think everyone agrees that we don't want to give them a positions file like in the past, they should use TDS for that.
I believe the TRV website should be ready to go tomorrow so we can set up the users and report #'s then.

When: Thursday, November 01, 2001 1:30 PM-2:00 PM (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada).
Where: TBD *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* This is a new day and time for this meeting.
Thank you and I apologize for any inconvenience.
Background: A request was received by the Gas Tactical group that would have implications on the system you use.
The request was to have the existing warning window appear if the trader enters a date that is before the date of the trade.
Knowing that there are times where trades can be back dated we cannot restrict this but to have the trader see a warning window appear to make them double check their dates (if they are for a previous date) would be beneficial to the requestor.
If they know the date is correct they would have the option to continue with the terms.
Often times, due to human error, Book Admins see mistakes made where the trade date is 10/15/01 and the terms are 10/01/01 to 10/31/01.
Because we are in the middle of the month a red flag is being raised with the Book Admins to question this trade.
Often times it is found that it was a mistake.
To date the system will only show a warning window if the trade terms were for 9/01/01 to 9/30/01.
Request Review: Is it possible to allow the existing warning window to display for a date that is before the trade date (even a day before) and not just for a different month?
Thank you in advance.

Hey guys, I just wanted to give you a friendly reminder to please have someone go through all your books to look for any deals with ECC and a third counterparty for October and November 2001 production.
I'll try to find as many as I can, but I'm not as familiar with all of your books as you are, and I don't want any deals to be missed.
If you come across any deals can you please flip them to the FT-US/CAND-ERMS book as soon as possible as there are only a couple more days left this month, and settlements needs to get started on invoicing.
Please let me know if you have any questions on this.

I have put all of the liquidations for GD Central in the Fred Liquidations file.
There is a variance of ($13,950) on the gas daily between what we flashed and what detail we now have.
We will have to take this adjustment to the P&L(wil be expense).
I do not have detail for Basis Capacity Hedges or LT Transport.
I am under the impression that these numbers are given to you each month by Cernosek's group.
For Basis Capacity Hedges, we flashed ($31,074) and for LT Transport we flashed ($130,735).
The detail in this file plus these three numbers should tie out.
If not, please let me know.
