## RE: Essential AirServiceatPage, Prescott,and ShowLowproposals

Dear Mr. Gormas, Last evening, the Page City Council (by a vote of4 to 3), elected to recommend Boutique Air as the EAS provider with directservice to Phoenix, Arizona. During the discussion, Boutique advised the City Council that Page could again return to twin engineturbine 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 HarborAirport (terminal 2, 3, or4). If any ofthe referenced representations cannot be accommodated,.the Council maydesireto review its recommendation. Thankyou forextending the Cityan extension in which to make its recommendation.

### Subject: re: Page supportforGreat Lakes GoodThursday morning, Michael, The Page Common Council ultimately recommended Great Lakes Airlines (at its lastspecial meeting) based on legal and policy considerations pertaining to retention of twin turbine pressurized resources available with Great Lakes Airlines; inherentwith the GLA selection would be continued "interline" and booking services, as well as, TSAsecurity screening with passengerserviceto 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. Forfurther information, please do not hesitate to contact Mayor Diak orthe City Clerk (formeeting minutes); both may be reached at928-645-4221. Rick
