GUSTAFSON DISTRICT HANAGER November 19, 1982 City Clerk City of Danville 315 Diablo Road, Suite 111 Danville, CA 94526 Dear Madam Clerk: A clerical error appears in my letter of November 10, 1982 to Mayor John May. The word "not" in the last sentence of the third paragraph should be deleted. The sentence shoud read: "Of course, PGandE intends to continue and provide reliable electric and gas service to your customers for many years; but the point we wish to make is that an indeterminate franchise does leave the city with other options." While it is clear that the Council understood the Company's position at its November 15, 1982 meeting, this correction is being made to insure that the written material in the public file accurately reflects the Company's presentation and to prevent the possibility of a misinterpretation by anyone reviewing the file at a later date. I suggest that the original copy of this letter be attached to the original November 10, 1982 letter and that the enclosed copies be attached to all copies of my November 10, 1982 letter. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Sincerely,~~ LMG:slk CITY OF DANVILLE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SSe COUNTY OFCONTR./\ CO~Tf\ PATRICIA A.
