Meeting with Carol Thomas, Universal En ineering
Board voted to go, into executive session to discuss November '77
bill of Universal Engineering, Inc. for $882.00, $846. over contract.
Carol Thomas was present and indicated that her records and corres-
pondance disclosed that in Novermber, time was spent on "additional
drafts". It was the Boards contention that we were never advised

and time spent during early November, 1977 that substantiates her
position.
