Joe,
Hate to bother you, but need a little assistance.
Did I email you the application for our docket #PZ-2020-00017 SE or did we drop it off to you?
I cannot seem to find it. If you could forward a copy I would appreciate it.
Fees are due on 6-12-2020 correct?
Thanks for your help.

Vincent Schneider
