Subject: RE: Essential Air Service at Page, Prescott, and Show Low proposals 

Dear Mr. Gormas, 

Last evening, the Page City Council (by a vote of 4 to 3), elected to recommend Boutique Air as the EAS provider 

with direct service to Phoenix, Arizona. 

During the discussion, Boutique advised the City Council that Page could again return to twin engine turbine service if 

the City was dissatisfied with Boutique Air at the conclusion of its EAS contract term. Boutique further represented 

that TSA screening services would remain in Page and that passengers would be deplaned in a secure area at Sky 

Harbor Airport (terminal 2, 3, or 4). If any of the referenced representations cannot be accommodated, .the Council 

may desire to review its recommendation. 

Thank you for extending the City an extension in which to make its recommendation.

Good Monday morning, Mr. Schlemmer, 

On Friday evening, March 13, 2015, the Page City Council held a special meeting pertaining to its EAS 

recommendation. The Council, after considering both legal and policy considerations, has reconsidered its 

recommendation of March 12, 2015, and wants to request continued service with Great Lakes Airlines for the next 

term of service: 

·Again, we thank you for your patience with this difficult decision.

Dear Mr. Gormas, 

The City of Page would prefer Bid 2, providing for a 19 seat accommodation to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (Denver 

and Los Angeles as bid). While we understand current authorization may only provide for a nine configuration, the 

City hopes that future federal reconsideration may provide for a full-capacity configuration.

Subject: re: Page support for Great Lakes 

Good Thursday morning, Michael, 

The Page Common Council ultimately recommended Great Lakes Airlines (at its last special meeting) based on legal 

and policy considerations pertaining to retention of twin turbine pressurized resources available with Great Lakes 

Airlines; inherent with the GLA selection would be continued "interline" and booking services, as well as, TSA security 

screening with passenger service to secured sites at destination airports. 

The City of Page, located in the "Grand Circle" (Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Amangari 

Resort), provides destination service for many international tourists, river runners and lake enthusiasts with excess 

luggage weights and baggage handling requirements. Furthermore, the impact of single engine service would 

preclude access to some passengers, e.g. Bureau of Reclamation (nine employees lost in a single turbine engine 

accident) and Amangari Resort guests. 

Therefore, Council concluded, after consultation with its legal council, that retaining twin turbine pressurized 

equipment (with the corresponding services) is essential at this time. For further information, please do not hesitate 

to contact Mayor Diak or the City Clerk (for meeting minutes); both may be reached at 928-645-4221.
