As you can see the mortar is almost a perfect match but the 4" is giving me trouble. Attached is a picture of the best match available when compared to the all of the samples I have available to me.

Again, I have not received any materials from you personally, but I will confer with Margaret. have also alerted Buck Smith that this issue exists and that you will be coming in today to follow up; you may wish to ask for him directly if he's available.

I talked to my co-worker who prepared the application for us, and she reminded me that we had the booklets printed on 1/24/2019 (see screen grab of T+N invoice) and that I delivered them myself! Which is right, as once she jogged my memory, I remember dropping them off the same day T+N delivered them to our office. I have a job site meeting on Rose Hill this morning, so I will stop by the counter to see if we can sort it out, but the two booklets are in Community Development somewhere. Thanks for your response yesterday, as it is helping us figure out where they went. Best.

Yes, two copies will suffice; please be sure to let the in -take staff at reception know that you are submitting materials for a new ARB application, not that you are resubmitting materials directly to me. The intake staff needs to assign the project a number, put the information into our database system, and create a file which they will then hand off to me. I'll likely have it in my hands by tomorrow afternoon.
