The production ofthe documents by the City Defendants is months over due and the lack of the production has resulted in delays to discovery.

Subject: City and individual defendant document production
Vicky and Paul:

I had five boxes of documents delivered to me and have had the opportunity to complete cursory review. Even though the production is very late and I have no privilege log, what has been produced is notably deficient.
First, there is not a single document from any of the individual defendants (at least none Identified as such).

There are significant additional omissions, too. For example, the minutes of the executive session that preceded the termination of Durkin has not been provided even though it appears that representatives of URS were in the session with the Council members. Their presence destroys any pretence of privilege.
There are no files respecting the G&L and URS contracts or amounts paid to either G&L or URS. Why?
I am concerned again that the failure of the City and the individual defendants to produce all documents wil once again affect the scheduling of depositions.
Although I loathe to involve Judge Sleet , I don t have much choice now.

Are there more documents being produced or not? I wil be contacting the Court for a discovery conference early next week and want to accurately represent the status of the production.

I have reviewed the documents produced by the City. The individual defendants have not produced a single document even though the requests were served on you on September 15 2005.
Further , in his memorandum dated December 8, 2003, from Carl Luft to the mayor and City Counsel members , (bates #NEW03407), he confirms tht there were " four white binders and one manila envelope " assembled for by. review. The binders and envelope have not produced in the most recent production and were not produced in the City' s initial production to Federal.

Document 309-3

v. City of Newark

Paul:
It seems that there is no rest for the weary but I wanted to address the missing documents with you as promptly as possible.

Durkin served the Requests for the Production of Documents directed to each of the individually-named Defendants on September 5, 2005. There have been no objections to the requests and there has been no assertion of any privilege.

As you know , I made repeated requests for the documents from the individual Defendants. I have reviewed all of the records produced after September 5 , 2005 and none of the documents are represented to be from the individual defendants. In fact , there are no documents from the individuals that reflect any information respecting the Calabria s report , re- bid, award of the contract to G&L or discussions respecting Durkin during the project or at or before termination.

There are other documents that have not been produced that are referenced in documents that have been.
For example documents are specifically listed in the memorandum from the City Manager, Carl F. Luft to the Mayor and City Council Indicating that the City possesses " four white binders and one manila envelope " related to five issues of concern related to (the City' s) contract with Durkin Contracting, Inc. and the reservoir project." These materials have not been produced, or if they have, they are not labeled as such.
The City' s contract and all related records, photographs, test results, payment requisitions etc. with the replacement contractor , G & L have not been produced in their totality. The only " contract" we have is a part of

the contract with G&L; nothing more, no emaHs etc.
We also know that " Executive Sessions" of City Council were either recorded or that there are minutes. No privilege has been asserted . by the City and Durkin has requested all Executive Session Meeting Minutes. This is especially important with regard to the " Executive Session " that occurred on February 2 , 2004 because immediately after the Executive Session, City Council voted to terminate Durkin. It is Durkin s information and belief that at that Executive Session , representatives of URS Corporation were also present. The presence of URS removes would eliminate any claims of privilege , especially in view of the claims now asserted by the City against them.

We scheduled, delayed and rescheduled the depositions of the individual defendants pending the full production of documents. Paul , we need the full production of all requested records immediately. I waited a long time before going to Judge Sleet; perhaps too long, but we need to get the records now.

Durkin, City of Newark

Gentlemen,

1. This wil confinn that we wil be taking the deposition of Mayor Vance Fun tomorrow at 10 a. (ending at 1 p. ) at Roger Akin s office at 1220 Market Street, Suite 300. Please bring your calendars to discuss fuher depositions (and a list of who you want to depose; for my side , I want to depose
anyone you intend to present at trial).
2. On the

three items below in Bolger s

letter:

A. As to " briefing packets " we are gathering those now and hope to be able to provide you with copy
sets by next week.
B. On

email, we are looking into this now. I thought print outs of our relevant emails had been produced but we will look into this in more detail now since David raised the issue. And I object to the theat that you wil go to the cour if we don t provide " prompt access " as you demand. I think it is incumbent upon us all to work these issues out and I am confident we can do that.
s to Executive Session minutes, paricularly as we have C. Lastly, 1 disagree with David' s statements only deposed one paricipant (and he' s not done).
Regards, Paul
