<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=807291218-02012009>Clark is the
agency's Associate State Forester, and as such, is authorized to act on my
behalf whenever needed across any agency issue. This is a responsibility
that is in addition to the fact that he oversees ODF's Business Sevices and
Information Technology Programs.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=807291218-02012009>Sometime this month
you will see a job announcement for an Administrative Services Division Chief
who will oversee Business Services and Information Technology. This will
be at the same level as our other Division Chiefs (...what we used to call
Assistant State Foresters). We hope to have the successful candidate for
this position selected by early May.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

promoted to Associate State Forester upon the date of Clark's official

also assume the responsibility for acting on behalf of the State Forester
whenever necessary. As you know, Paul's current duties are Chief of the
Fire Protection Division, as well as oversight of the Equipment
