Mr. Rutledge will take on the recommendation to set up a meeting with the agencies involved and will now need to add some Municipal Governments that may be affected by the error committed by the IBWC. The projects in the MOU have not been completed by the IBWC; therefore, the issue of non-completion needs to be resolved prior to an attempt to recapture funds.
