## !nJefferson County Oregon (amwriting to·**stip~rt** thegrant application for U.s: DOT funding for the Redmond MunicipalAirport. Given ourgeographic isolation from othermetros in the western U.S. and the fact that no interstate roadway connects Central Oregon to the rest ofthe country, commercial air services plays a disproportionately importantrole for our company and the region's economy. Ourcompanies, and many others, rely heavily on schedmed air service to connectwith customers, suppliers, strategic partners and headquarter or satellite operations and to attract visitors to take advantage ofthe geographic splendors ofCentral Oregon as a greatplace tovacation. Non-stop service to southern California would be extremely valuable to ourclients, colleagues and tourists. As such we are very supportive ofthis effort. We believe, this service will be successful, sustainable and will play an importantrole in our success

Good morning, Wendy Boyer <wboyerconsulting@yahoo.com> Sunday, June 24, 2012 11:38. AM Ley, Aloha (OST) wboyerconsulting@yahoo.com Direct Flights to L.A.

I read the article in the Bulletin about efforts to create a non-stop to L.A. from Remand/Bend. I recently moved here and would like to continue my profession as a business consultant. My greatest concern is easy access to larger cities for work contracts given Bend is still in the growing stages and I'm finding mywork is often coming from outside Oregon. In fact, one of my largest clients is a company out of Los Angeles. Additionally, I'm finding the majority of mycolleagues here in Bend are also flying to L.A. on a regular basis, both for work and for family. It appears there are many people here in the Bend area that have moved from Southern California. Bottom line, I highly recommend a direct flight to L.A. from Redmond/Bend. It could only increase business and personal travel, bringing more income for all involved.

Hello, Debra <scrapingirl@earthlink.net> Sunday, June 24, 2012 12:01 PM Ley, Aloha (OST) Air Service Between Redmond, OR and Los Angeles, CA

I am a resident of Bend, OR and would greatly love to see the air service between these two cities become a reality. My husband and I still own property in Los Angeles and fly down at least once a quarter, if not more, to check on our properties. It would be so nice to have a direct flight reinstated to this area. In addition, any time that I ever took the direct flight when Alaska Airlines had it, the flights were always full. Ithink it would be a great boost for the Central Oregon area to have this direct flight. Thanks so much,

I strongly support reinstituting the direct flight to Los Angeles. I am a small business ownerand live in Bend, Oregon. Reinstating this air service is very importantto my business and the local economy. Bringing back the direct flight to Los Angeles would certainly increase the frequency offlying for me and my business partners. I have been traveling to LAX from RDM for nearly ten years. Itypically flew 12 to 15 times ayear. Since the direct flight with Alaska/Horizon was cancelled, I have reduced my travel significantly and my business has suffered for that reason. The direct flight to LAX is critical for my business and I hope that my feedback will help bring back this air service. Very trulyyours, Monica Brown Sent from my iPhone

Subject: Small Community Air Service Development Program Docket DOT-OST-2012-0069 City of Redmond, OR- Redmond Municipal Airport Dear Ms. Ley: On behalf of Express Employment Professionals, I am writing to support the grant application for U.S. DOT funding for the Redmond Municipal Airport. Given our geographic isolation from other metros in the western U.S. and the fact that no interstate roadway connects Central Oregon to the rest ofthe country, commercial air services play a disproportionately·important role for our company and the region's economy. Our company, and many others, rely heavily on scheduled air service to connect with customers, suppliers, strategic partners and headquarter or satellite operations. Non-stop service to southern California would be extremely valuable to our clients and colleagues. As such we are very supportive ofthis effort. We believe this service will be successful, sustainable and will play an important role in our success in addition to growing and diversifying the regional economy. On behalf of Express Employment Professionals, thank you for your consideration and the opportunity to express our strong support ofthis grant request. Sincerely,

## Gm~ Connie Druliner Owner/CEO
