To: Gary Kemey From: Jeffrey Epstein Sent Fri 2/19/2010 2:01:32 AM Subject: Re: Budget line Items • i understand .. call me in new york On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 4:58 PM, Gary Kerney wrote: Jeffrey Emad sent me a message that a invoice was over budget on a line item, and Rich and Darren informed him the policy is that any payments for overruns on any line item(there hundreds of them) has to be approved by you. The invoice is to complete the distribution of the sewer affluent into the landscape Over budget by about $3,000 due to a incomplete budget by me when I did the laundry budget 6 mos.ago.I need your approval. At the beginning I outlined that my budgets were honest estimates of what I believe things will cost,without padding, and if I'm good half will be over and half will be under and the average will be close. If we have to go thru this exercise on every line item bust it will not, in my opinion, be productive for either of us. Can I suggest that I get authority to approve up to some reasonable amount without getting you involved? You gave me the authority when I came aboard of $25,000 without coming to you, can that be my per job authority ?
