RE: Open Items
we should talk about jenns salary
I was hoping to review this in person with you on Tuesday however I understand that the trip will be rescheduled. I recognize that you are very busy and do not want to overwhelm you however when you are free
I would like to talk to you about the following items:
Jen's Salary — when should it end? she is currently the only employee on florida science payroll — will it stay that way or will we be adding someone else? will there be severance or is severance her school? how should we handle her apt?
Gensler — I saw your email telling Gary and myself to decide — Gary called this morning recommending payment in the full amount of $105,500 — is this ok to pay?
Maguire — Gary wants to review the second phase of work on the mechanical building with Maguire in addition to the reverse osmosis water making wing of the building which will include design revisions, etc. Does Gary have your permission to meet with Maguire? Jeff from Maguire wants to know if he should be taking his orders from Gary or Doug? Please advise.
Tax Returns — Darren and I have both reviewed the following tax returns due 9/15/09 prepared by George: Plan D, Hyperion, JEGE, Zorro Development & Nine East 71st Street. Would you like to review them before I send them out? If so should I fed ex copies or scan and email. Please advise.
State of Florida Unclaimed Funds — it appears that there is approximately $200 from Sears Holding & CBS — should I pursue this or pass?
Request for funding of your personal JPM account with $1,000,000 from FTC — we last funded $1,000,000 on 8-6-09. I have attached spending for your review. Do I have approval to fund $1,000,000?
Outstanding invoices:
a. Hasan Khan — outstanding July invoice is 13,370? We have paid him $49,618 to date from 1/12/09 thru 8/6/09.
b. Worth Builders — outstanding July & August invoices totaling $8,597.85. the majority of this work represents painting of new interior hallway doors and exterior (1,700) and carpenters who installed fence and doors (5,279). Doug has reviewed and recommends payment.
c. Ossa Properties - regarding apt renovation — total expenses were 338,379.83 — we paid 100,000 on 8/15/07 & 6/5/08 and 69,189.92 on 12/18/08. Total payments were 269,189.92. outstanding balance is 69,189.91
d. Education — Dave Rodgers Education in the amount of $9,420
EFTA00769648
MC2 — total outstanding balance on line of credit is $854,598 which reflects one payment made in the amount of $50,000. I still have not received any of information I requested over 3 weeks ago. Please advise on how I should proceed.
Paul Prosperi $35,000 loan — expires tomorrow 9/1/09 — how should I handle this?
Pinto — has repaid us to date for mural decoration 114,500 euros, decorative wall paneling 60,000 euros and marble furniture 59,177 euros. We have not been paid yet on the belts for decoration: 40,000 euro
JPM — per agreement we were to receive services for 250k — is there anything I need to do with this?
George Delson organization — as we discussed in February I am uncomfortable with Skip's preparation of tax returns and the numerous errors / corrections that are continuously made.
Gary & Steve pay package — my understanding is as follows:
a. Gary Salary / Fica / Medical = 25,063.78 per month or 300,765.36 annualized — is there a term for this monthly package? Should I seek your approval each month for payment?
b. Gary expenses to be reimbursed for travel, lodging and meals — are their guidelines for the meals (daily limit of ?) as I feel some of them are a bit pricey. Dinners alone have averaged $72, $75, $75 and $90 per person
c. Stephen Salary / Fica / Medical = 18,301.42 per month or 219,617.04 annualized — is term four months?
