Wayne Benesch Attorney Byrne & Benesch, P.C. 230 W. Morrison Street Yuma, AZ 85366-6446

Dear Mr. Benesch,

Regarding the recent Public Records Request from Mr. Gamez:

I completed the analysis and identified 1,304 documents that match his search criteria out of the 43,070 documents in my email archive. After applying a security filter there are 441 email messages that I feel are releasable. I have documented the processes below to arrive at this conclusion and offer it for your review. Wha’cha think? Starting with a database of all email records, we created two working “folders” to sift through the information. One folder is the “target” folder and one is the “Gen Grosse” folder. From the view of all emails we used the search function built into Notes to extract specific messages and then added them to the “target” folder, as shown below: Step 1) Create a “Target” folder and add all email containing the phrase: Search Terms to add Hits Document count Bill Gresser 577 579 Rob Ingold 438 848 James Corbett 148 944 Paul Johnson 40 979 Greg Wilkinson 58 1,027

The next phase included a large set of emails that contained the name “Gen Grosse.” From that set we pulled out four subsets of emails that included the four search terms shown below. These subsets were added to the “Target” folder. Step 2) In separate folder add all email from Gen Grosse 5,000 5,000 Step 3) Transfer to target folder emails that include: Search Terms to add Hits Document Count Million Air 257 1,264 Joe Gamez 40 1,304 Mitch Dunn 0 1,304 Freeman holdings 0 1,304

1,304 email messages meet Mr. Gamez’s criteria. We then applied the filter that you and I discussed. The filter terms are included below along with the hit counts on each search term: Step 4: Delete emails by the following filter keywords: Search Terms to Delete Hits Document Count aircraft parking 24 1,280 security badge 1 1,279 gate access 10 1,269 .mil 141 1,128 Benesch 264 864 Mcculloch 9 855 Lieberman 1 854 Gerding 3 851 Armament 3 848 gc.ca (Canadian military) 12 836 .uk (British military) 9 827 Troops 5 822 BAE Systems (UK contractor on Nimrod) 5 817 Remove email not to/from people above 304 513 Remove emails to myself via software alert 34 479 Remove calendar entries 25 454 Remove invitations 4 450 Royal Air Force 7 443 Candadian 3 440 British 2 438 Add back Paul Johnson 3 441

The final package of 441 emails, totaling 817 pages is attached to this memorandum. If this looks good for you, I will release the documents to Mr. Gamez for his “review” only. Sincerely,

Craig Williams Airport Director

Good Afternoon Greg,

Thank you so much for your query. I have attached our standard powerpoint presentation which we give to defense contractors who are interested in relocating to the airport in support of their mission. I have incorporated slides for our new development which includes a lease with a developer willing to build to suit, as well as layout plan for Million Air.

I have also attached our marketing material, which I mentioned is lacking the current developments - but gives good reading material about the airport, and our mission to help defense contractors.

Should you need additional information, please feel free to contact me. We would certainly respond to an RFI, should there be interest.

Talk with you soon,

Hello Gen,

We have received a lead through our California outreach strategy about an Aerospace company that specializes in UAV and surveillance blimp testing. They are based out of L.A. but have intentions of expanding outside of the market. They currently are applying for a DOD contract and have been to Yuma to meet with YPG. What I need is the airport marketing package highlighting the facilities and advantages of locating on your property. If you could provide me with the same collateral materials that you provide potential customers, that would be appreciated. Ideally I would like to get this information out to them by tomorrow if possible.

Thanks

Boeing Lease Gen Grosse to: Craig Williams 06/09/2010 01:42 PM

Sir,

Here's my draft response to Jim Turner: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi Jim,

Well that sounds great. More elbow room for all. All facilities will be ready for your arrival, equipped with 20 meg wireless internet. The new facility, 'Marvin' not only has wireless, but also has six hardwire internet jacks.

As per our agreement, we will invoice you each month for the facilities. Should your testing conclude in September, you will not be charged October's rent.

If you find that there is something else you need to make the facilities suit your needs - simply let me know. Upon receiving your authorization, we'll take care of it and add it to your monthly bill, plus 15% for adminstrative fees.

I have included the completed lease agreement below which shows the facility lease amount from July 3 to October 30 as being $41,400. We will send you an invoice for $12,300 for the first month's rent. The month's following will be billed at $9,700, in accordance to our correspondance.

Just confirmed with Gladys that she's received the badge applications, is verifying the manifest list with Susan - as well as the overall POC to bring all the badges to. So, we're set.

I'll call Loretta Gunter this week to begin working with her on PR for the arrivals.

If there's anything else that you can think of in the next weeks, let me know - our community is ready to welcome you.

Oh, lastly, our CFO sent me the picture below - is that the one you were telling me about? Million Air is looking forward to continuing their great service to Boeing, and is gearing up for your arrivals (see new fuel truck).

Talk with you soon! _,_.___ Gen Grosse Corporate Account Manager Yuma International Airport 2191 E. 32nd Street Yuma, AZ 85364

Here is a response I just sent to potential short term tenant.

Jason - obviously I lied about internet in Foghorn - may need it soon

Lynn - yep, lied again - need some furniture in Foghorn - ha ha

Manny/Gladys - we'll keep each other posted on positioning of aircraft in the DCC.

Junior - I've got Bill Sims working on pricing - am also sending him our temporary lease so he can make one up. Or - we can lease it for him and charge Bill 15% for doing all the work (haha)

Mr. Williams - sent copy to Alan to add to list - this request is perfect justification for EDA grant - in that RAF is leasing Love from Million Air for 2 different operations. The operation below falls during the same timeframe as the others - though it is not related.

Good Afternoon Lt. Jones,

Thank you so much for your interest in available hangars at Yuma International Airport. From our conversation, you are looking for four hangars to house the assembly of (4) CH-47 Chinook helicopters which will be delivered via Antonov 124 on or about March 31/April 1 - and assembly is to take place through April 10.

We are very happy to accommodate your needs, as we have a contractor who will have (4) hangars completed by April 1. Here are the hangar sizes:

(2) 65' x 60' (2) 60' x 60'

Each hangar has a 22' eave height with a door clearance of 18'. Each hangar has 220v single phase and there is access to a 50 amp outlet. There are no restrooms in the hangars. I will have pricing for the hangars within the next 24 hours.

A photo of the hangars in their current status (photo taken on 2/10/11) is below: As I mentioned, the hangars are not in the same location on the airport where the Antonov 124 will taxi/park. Below is a diagram which depicts where the Antonov will park and the transfer/haul route to the hangars. The haul route will utilize an existing perimeter road.

Please have your pilot inform the control tower that you are going to park on the DCC apron off of Taxiway Foxtrot 1. The large concrete apron is rated for 980,000 lbs.

Here are the directions to get an airport badge and driving certification for Yuma International Airport:

Badging at the airport is very simple. All of the information is on our website - www.yumaairport.com. Click on Driver's Training and follow the instructions. If you have persons that need to drive on the airport, they will need to complete the driving course, I've provided the link below. http://www.yumaairport.com/yumahome.nsf/bc8de3f572ebb41a0725735e001c9862/7e8583edd43a6a1f0 725749b0056d98a?OpenDocument

Fill out the badge applications, click submit and it will go directly to Airport Operations who will prepare the badges. Once your team is here, please have each person receiving a badge come to the Operations Dept located on the first floor inside the airport's terminal located at 2191 E. 32nd Street, to have their badge photo taken and receive their badge Monday through Friday between 8-12, and 1-4 pm . Each person receiving a badge is required to show government issued identification.

Please provide a list of personnel believed to require access badges on the spreadsheet below and return to our Airport Operations Director, Ms. Gladys Wiggins at [email protected]. The Airport Operations team will use this as a checklist to ensure everyone receives badges.

During our conversation, we did not discuss your office space requirements. We are pleased to offer two 1,440 sf office facilities (Sylvester and Foghorn) which are located immediately to the west of the hangar complex for your use. Each office suite includes four offices, large conference room, restroom, furniture, refrigerator, wireless internet, direct access to the facility from a private parking lot, and secured access from the facility to the aircraft apron. The weekly rate is $1,250.00 for each facility and includes maintenance and custodial services. Here are several photographs of the facilities: (note that on the first photo - if you turned to the right - that's where your hangar facilities are)

If you are interested in leasing one or two of the facilities, I have included the temporary rental agreement and credit card authorization forms below, simply fill them out and return to me for official reservation which can be verified on our website: www.defensetesting.com - click on scheduling, then click here. And of course, we are proud to have Million Air here at Yuma International Airport, who will not only provide terrific customer service, ground support equipment/services and fuel - their new facility, complete with restaurant is right next door to where your hangar/office facilities are.

Give me a call if you have any questions - we're here to make your job easier.

Most sincerely,

With regards to your answers:

 you said you do coordinate forklift/crane - does that include personnel to operate them?

Thanks for helping me better understand the services you provide, I'm hoping together we can attract great opportunities for success!!!

Mr. Williams,

This morning I returned a call to Kenda Bryant who called on behalf of a private aviation company who wishes to remain anonymous. She said that they are interested in available office space to use from 8 am to 5 pm beginning in Sept for 3 to 5 years. She said they don't need a hangar and would park on the apron.

Good Morning Kenda,

It was a pleasure talking with you this morning, and thank you for your interest in available office suites here at Yuma International Airport.

Yuma International Airport has two office suites immediately available within our Defense Contractor Complex. The two office suites are located within the South GA portion of Yuma International Airport with direct access to the flightline, are fully furnished with internet access. Each facility is available for short or long term lease and can be modified to meet your needs. Detailed information about the offices is found on page 13 and 14 of the brochure attached below. Should you find that you need hangar space, we currently have two available, the information is on page 10.

Additional information you may find beneficial is that Million Air, our Fixed Based Operator, is within walking distance of our proposed office suites, Their staff provides first-class service in a brand new facility which also has a restaurant. The airport recently completed the rehabilitation of all the asphalt aprons and taxiways which are just outside of our proposed office suites. Yuma International Airport also shares the runways with MCAS Yuma Air Station, home to the first squadron of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters. We have matched the mil-spec security system at MCAS, with 8 foot fences, 3 strands of barbed wire, and video analytics. This is of significant value to our other important clients such as Boeing and NASA, who appreciate the ability to work 24 hours a day without delay or interruption.

Thank you again Kenda for considering Yuma for your basing needs. It would be my pleasure to provide a tour of the office suites and facilities surrounding them. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions you may have and to schedule a tour.

With kind regard,

Good Morning Mr. Oien,

Yesterday, airport staff and the Million Air team met to discuss Boeing's requirements for the upcoming hot weather testing of the 747-8 and 787 aircraft here at Yuma International Airport. During the meeting it was mentioned there may be some concern that there might not be enough apron to support the two aircraft should they arrive simultaneously.

Our existing West Visiting Aircraft Line (VAL) is a 3.5 acre concrete apron rated for 980,000 lbs and has two office facilities adjacent to it. In the fall of 2009, we completed the rehab and expansion of our DCC apron which is now a 4.7 acre concrete apron rated for 980,000 lbs. We believe these two aprons will provide enough space should the two aircraft be here at the same time. Our Operations Director sent the structural sections for both of these aprons to Mike Roginski, PE, Boeing Airport Technology-Pavement Lead, on March 22. I would be happy to forward the information to you if you'd like.

I have attached an aerial of the airport, with a box around the apron areas, as I don't believe the recent version of Google Earth depicts the growth within our Defense Contractor Complex over the past two years.

I'd be glad to help you with any questions you may have. I have been working with Jim Turner for several months in preparation of your arrivals and we are very excited to provide any/all support necessary for your successful missions.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for including our project in the AzAA newsletter, we're really proud of receiving the grant and look forward to the project. The information you have in the draft is from our original press release. Feel free to use any of the information below and let me know if you need anything else.

We received authorization to proceed with the project from the EDA last week. Here is the press release we sent out:

------

Contact: Gen Grosse - 726-5882 September 1, 2011

Yuma, Arizona: Yuma International Airport today announced it has received the final approval from the Economic Development Administration’s regional headquarters in Seattle, Washington, to move forward on the design of the new Aviation Industrial Center, the new 40,000 square foot, multi-tenant, hangar facility to be built in the airport’s Defense Contractor Complex DCC.

“We’ve been working to reach this point for almost a year,” said Bill Gresser, President of the Yuma County Airport Authority. “It’s exciting because we hope this new center will create over a hundred high-value jobs in the next six years,” he said. That is important because those jobs will start with the hangar’s architectural design and then in about five months, even more jobs for the construction phase, which should take about ten months.

This project is part of the Airport’s vision for economic development at the Airport. “The Airport is an important economic development engine for our community, said Julie Engle, President of the Greater Yuma Economic Development Authority. “Their focus on adding value to our regional military partners, including MCAS Yuma and the Yuma Proving Grounds, pays big dividends to our community.” In the last five years, the airport has invested over $12 million in airport construction. The Aviation Industrial Center is expected to add about $5 million to that total. “Almost every penny of that will be spent in Yuma,” she said.

The airport’s focus on customer service and adding value to the community has also resulted in related projects that benefit the community. The new FedEx center on 40th Street and the new Million Air Fixed Base Operator, for civilian aircraft are two examples. Both of those facilities resulted in separate $2 million investments. Also, the new Customs and Border Protection, Air and Marine Division’s aviation center, currently under construction in the Airport’s DCC brought another ten million dollar investment to the community.

“We’re proud of the millions of dollars of investment in our Community,” said Gresser. “But we’re most proud of the culture of customer service that the Board of Directors has nurtured. We love seeing that grow every single day.”

U.S. EDA Invests $3.7 Million to Advance Avionics Research and Development in Yuma, Arizona

WASHINGTON - Acting U.S. Commerce Secretary Dr. Rebecca Blank today announced a $3.7 million Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant to the Yuma County Airport Authority to help build the Aviation Industrial Center in Yuma, Ariz. The Center will provide a high-tech facility for avionics research and development. The project is expected to create 150 jobs and generate more than $1 million in private investment, according to grantee estimates.

“Strengthening research and development in support of an innovation economy is vital to creating jobs and maintaining global competitiveness,” Blank said. “This EDA-funded project will help bring high-quality jobs and economic growth to the region by fueling the growth of the Yuma aerospace industry cluster.”

The Aviation Industrial Center will be a 45,000-square-foot, multi-tenant aircraft aviation technology and maintenance office complex. The facility will include office and administrative space with two hangar bays on the east and west sides of the building.

About the U.S. Economic Development Administration (www.eda.gov):

The mission of the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) is to lead the federal economic development agenda by promoting competitiveness and preparing the nation’s regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy. An agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce, EDA makes investments in economically distressed communities in order to create jobs for U.S. workers, promote American innovation and accelerate long-term sustainable economic growth.

Omega meets Million Air in Yuma Gen Grosse to: Craig Williams 06/28/2011 08:12 PM

Mr. Williams,

The Omega landed precisely at 1830 - Craig and I were positioned perfectly as they landed with ease.

Million Air was ready and delivered every promise James made to them, meeting them with a glad handshake (056), hustling over to rally the fuel trucks (062) and getting them into position within less than 7 minutes, it was flawless.

All the while, the RAF's Antonov 124 was sitting in the background looking like a big shark ready to take a bite.

The Omega took off at 7:57.

I told James I would email him a slideshow of pix (see below) for him to send to the Freeman's, and will burn all the pix on thumbdrive for him.

My pictures are in the following drives:

M:\My Airport Pictures\Aircraft\6-28-11 Omega

M:\My Airport Pictures\Aircraft\6-28-11 Antonov - RAF

Craig also took pictures and are in the following drive:

O:\AIRPORT PHOTOS\Photos\Antonov and Omega Tanker 06282011

Could do your magic on 056, zooming in on the handshake with Omega? I've got an 8x10 frame - I think James would love it!

Mr. Williams,

Here's my reviewed versions. Highlighted a couple of things, updated TOC, and changed YCAA president.

I didn't see reference to charging Million Air for fuel tanks or space in fuel farm. I believe you mentioned that you were going to pass the tank costs on to them. (I also caught Chris Freeman's story about how one of the airports put in everything for him...)

I reviewed the spreadsheet but I couldn't determine what's all included in the $2500 lease.

Questions from Mr. Gressor/Mr. Ingold:

Mr. Gressor - If Million Air doesn't get the DESC contract, they're out. Chris Freeman confirmed.

Mr. Ingold - Time is of the essence? Chris Freeman verified that they need to be in operation by Sept 1.

Mr. Gressor - What are Million Air's projected fuel sales at NYL? Chris Freeman estimates 1 million gallons/year in the first couple of years (YCAA profit - $100k+), with higher sales as time goes on. Said that they fueled the Omega tanker with one million gallons in November '09, and 900,000 gallons in Feb.

Mr. Ingold - How many gallons does Million Air need? Chris Freeman said 350-400k gallons

Mr. Ingold - Why not put in 100,000 gallons now, why only 40,000. Chris Freeman said some staff are concerned about location, want to test the waters (tip the toe)

Mr. Ingold - Since time is of the essence, need to have meeting soon. Mr. Williams suggested electronic meeting. Mr. Gressor cited open meeting law and suggested to hold a Special Board meeting on Friday, February 19 at noon.

Good Afternoon Dirk,

Thank you for your interest in utilizing space at Yuma International Airport while you support MCAS.

We would be pleased to accommodate your Cessna Pelican aircraft along with an Aircraft Support Trailer from approximately April 24th through May 22nd.

I've consulted with our Operations Director, Ms. Gladys Wiggins, who has provided the attached diagram of the location available for your aircraft and equipment.

She has also provided the attached badge application which will be necessary if you would like access to 20W for duration of the stay. Once the applications are complete, feel free to email them directly to Gladys at the email address above and she will get them processed. There is ample vehicle parking on the landside near this gate. Please ensure to complete the driving course, especially for those requiring to drive onto the Airfield. This is available on our website: www.yumaairport.com.

As we've discussed, there are no parking fees for the aircraft, but there is a $3.00 PSFPM fee for the support trailer, which is payable prior to your arrival. Please forward the dimensions of the support trailer at your earliest convenience so that we may calculate the fee.

Billing for the support trailer can be as easy as filling out the attached credit application. We simply charge the credit card, and send the invoice and receipt to the address you provide. Please let us know if you prefer another payment option.

We talked a little bit about the availability of the Love Hangar. I've included some information on it as well, should you be interested in it in the future. I'd be happy to give you a tour of the facility while you are here.

I hope that you have a terrific week and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi Dirk,

I spoke with the Airport Authority Operations Director this morning.

The hangar may be available for you on a short term rental basis.

Gen Grosse from the YCAA should be contacting you to discuss the matter in better detail.

Staging your equipment will not be an issue. I will follow up with you on where specifically the Airport Authority would like you to stage your trailer and GPU.

We look forward to having your team with us in the forthcoming months.

I do remember speaking with you.

We are delighted to have your team back with us in the coming months.

With regard to your requests below…

I need to confirm with the Airport Authority that parking your trailer adjacent to the hangar will still be permissible as they now have jurisdiction over the area surrounding the hangar.

With regard to storing your aircraft in the hangar…

The Airport Authority has earmarked that hangar for rental by a government contractor. I am almost certain they have already rented the hangar to someone.

Hello Mr. Gamez,

th You may not remember me but I came by your office on the 18 of February to discuss the parking of our Cessna airplane that we use to support the Marines with, the one we call Pelican. We use to do business with the old Bet‐Ko folks.

I have question or two for you.

Will we be able to park our plane over by the large hanger as we have in the past?

th On the 24 of March, we have our equipment coming in from Florida for staging for our Marine support mission in the latter part of April. I would like to drop off our Aircraft Support Trailer (it looks like the in the picture below) off at the airport at our old location by that same large hanger. Is that possible, and if yes how do we get access to the ramp? Come by your office first?

Good Afternoon Gentlemen,

It was a great pleasure to have met Roger Woolsey and his wife Carolyn today.

We contacted several media (Yuma Sun and KYMA News Ch-11) who were thrilled to interview him and appreciative of the tour/discussion about the A-26 American Warbird.

KYMA plans to air the interview this evening (5, 6 & 10 pm PST), and may possibly have something on their website www.kyma.com

The Yuma Sun will more than likely have it in tomorrow's paper, but I'm sure the reporter is typing up quickly right now - check www.yumasun.com

On our part, we showered Roger, his guests and his crew with coins/patches and an autographed photo of three Boeing aircraft. We took plenty of photos and posted them on the airport's Facebook page: www.facebook.com/flyyuma.

We also had our videographer come out - he will produce a couple minute YouTube video out of the material he captured. Once we get it, we'll email it to you and also put the link on our facebook page.

I left a copy of the autographed Boeing photo with the girls, and am including it below - because it's just cool. Ha ha

I hope you all have a terrific weekend!!

Subject: Airport Correspondence to Mayor Dear Mr. Johnson,

Sorry it took me this long to get back to you. Here are two letters which the airport sent to the Mayor last year. Since then he has on at least two occasions addressed the Board and expressed his opinion that he should have a seat on the board. Those comments can be seen at the following YouTube URLs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9eJ8IaqMpM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tOrDWs8J7U

In a related matter, on November 10, 2009, the Airport Authority signed a ten year agreement with the Heritage Group to place the aircraft "City of Yuma" in the new GA Terminal (now known as the Million Air FBO). Our construction plans included an expansion of the existing building to allow for a museum type (see attached .png files) setting to display the aircraft. Just before sending the documents out to Bid, the Heritage Group called and said they had been instructed by Mayor (elect) Krieger to rescind that agreement because he wanted the plane downtown. We accommodated the Heritage Group request and changed our construction plans.

Please let me know if this information does not provide what you need.

Mr. Williams,

I scanned the meeting agendas with my notes and attached them below.

For GYPA's call to the public I told them we were working on the following projects.

Renovations to former Fed Ex facility for potential use by Civil Air Patrol ADOT grant for Terminal Apron Rehab ADOT grant for Terminal Secure Modifications FAA grant for Taxiway Z AIC construction about June GOER grant for Rolle Phase II (I didn't mention hangar in GYPA meeting since the Mayor was there) AZ Aviation Journal articles about YCAA & Rolle City 411 Taking Flight segments Skywest 50 passenger jets Aviation Day at the Capital

I elaborated a little more about each project in the Transportation meeting. When I was finished, Ken Rosevear jokingly said 'And here we thought you guys were just a bunch of mean people over there'.

Tim Eisenmann reminded the attendants that the airport also received approval of the requested rezoning. (I didn't bring it up because Councilman Paul Johnson was there) - and Paul said that the rezone was approved back in 1996, and in 2001, again in 2002 by City Council and the voters. Ken then said 'I guess if you want to be on the board, you hold their project hostage' - to which everyone laughed.

Tim also mentioned the airport is seeking to abandon 4th Ave Ext. Paul Johnson said that was also approved in 1996 and in 2002. He suggested to contact YMPO, as they're currently working on a traffic count south of Ave A. I mentioned that the project may be a few years down the road that there were fees associated with the abandonment that we can't afford right now. He looked surprised about the fees.

Good Morning Gentlemen,

In a nutshell, we've got two commercial truck driving companies in the old Boeing parking lot - and CA Career Schools is the first to pounce and ask for a lease. (see below for background).

I spoke with Chuck Emanuele, President of CCS yesterday afternoon and had him explain to me what he was looking to do. He told me he wants to secure a parcel of land to have a parking lot for drivers to conduct 'pre-trip' tests, and a classroom on that parcel for drivers to take their tests and trainers to have an office.

He shared that he not only provides training for our exiting military members by working with YPIC, he also trains CBP officers to obtain their CDL so they can drive the bigger vehicles, and conducts classes for AWC students.

In an effort to feel out his seriousness, I asked why not lease space at the college (no space for big trucks), and discussed the City's impact/development fees (can't be any worse than CA).. I sent him a graphic with three potential lots, the existing parcel, undeveloped parcel immediately to the west, and 20 acre parcel on Avenue A. He told me he wants the existing parcel and asked how long of a lease he could have. I told him we could prepare a five year lease with (5) one year options with improvement requirements (parking lot & classroom) built in.

I used both the Sims and Million Air leases to form the lease below. What I'd like to have is construction completed within a year - like Million Air's.

Let me know what you think: (everything's in M:\Leases\California Career Schools

Thanks much,

Gen

Hello Chuck......

You do not have a lease. You have a permit to use our property for the purposes described therein. We have always allowed more than one company to use that location, most recently is has been your operation as well as a motorcycle riders training school called VSI.

HDS Drivers training school has obtained a permit to use the lot now in addition to your operation. If you are interested in a lease let me know, it would of course provide you with the exclusive right to the premises. Typically however, the lease cost would be substantially more than you are paying now and may include a requirement for you to make capital improvements on the property. (paving and fencing)

The nonexclusive nature of your permit has been discussed at length with your representative numerous times. It was my understanding that the permit was desired due to the low cost and the ability to opt out when another lot was located.

Dear Gen, On July 8, 2010, NEI Environmental provided guidance and over-sight to Environmental Response Inc. (ERI) for the removal of approximately 230-gallons of AVGAS and 350-gallons of JP-8 from two fuel tanks for Million Air located at the fuel farm aboard Yuma International Airport. ERI removed the 350-gallons from the site and transported the drums to their main office in Tempe, Arizona for disposal. The disposal paperwork will be provided once the fuel has been disposed of. Mr. Lloyd of Million Air has decided to keep the approximate 230-gallons of AVGAS to use in his support equipment. The only criteria for this is that the AVGAS drums be labeled and maintained as if the drums cam from a supply entity. I have included as a pdf the Bill of Lading for the removal of the 350-gallons of JP-8.

Subject: Oldest Boeing Passenger Plane. (Quite A Visual)

Restored: Boeing 40C - finished roll out.

This is as it should be - passengers in closed cabin, pilot in open cockpit so he will stay awake. The airplane is in Spokane, and is the oldest (soon-to-be) flying Boeing in the World.

After 8 years and 8,000 hours of toil the Boeing 40C rolled out last weekend as a finished airplane. They now have to wait a few weeks for the snow to melt to fly this baby. They received Their Standard Airworthiness Cert Form from the FAA and completed the engine pre oil and fuel flow tests for the 1st of the taxi tests to start when the snow melts bit. This is the snowiest winter in Spokane since 1968!!

Factoids for the Boeing 40 project:

221 gallons of dope/reducer and 120 yards of 102 ceconite fabric. 12 gallons of polyurethane paint for the sheet metal. The wings have 33,000 individual parts in them. The airplane weights 4080 lbs empty and has a gross weight of 6075 lbs.

It's 34 ft long and 13 feet tall with a wing span of 44 1/2 feet.

Wing loading 10 lbs per sq ft and power loading 10 Pounds per HP. Should cruise at 115 mph at 28 GAH, and 32 GPH at 120 mph. It carries 120 gallons of fuel in three tanks.

We used 350- 2 brushes and 6 gallons of West Systems epoxy and 181 rolls of paper towels.

There were a total of 62 volunteers who worked on the project to some degree and 21 volunteers who did a significant amount of work and 9 that worked continentally over many years.

Million Air Pre-Development Meeting Gen Grosse to: sfreeman 02/19/2010 08:25 AM Cc: Craig Williams

Mr. Freeman,

On Thursday, February 18th at 3:00, Mr. Williams and I attended a Pre-Development Meeting with seven members of the City of Yuma Planning and Development Office to identify necessary planning considerations and the probable Impact Fees for Million Air starting FBO services at the airport, specifically in the DCC area between the NASA and Fed-Ex sites. Mr. Williams emphasized that your facility is being operated specifically to support military operations. Here are my notes from the meeting:

In calculating the Impact Fees there are no distinctions between the temporary manufactured building and the future permanent facility. All Impact Fees are payable as a one time charge. In other words, fees that you pay at this time for the temporary building will NOT have to be paid again for the permanent facility, with the exception of paying for increased square footage.

Essentially there are two impact fees. The first is a "Development Fee" and the second is a "Water/Sewer" impact fee.

1) The Development Impact fee. This is based on the size and planned use of the facility. For your facility you can expect to pay $6,174 per 1,000 square feet. In other words, if your temporary facility is going to be 3,000 sq ft the development fee would be 3 x $6,174 or $18,522. If the permanent facility is going to be 5,000 sq ft, you would later have to pay an additional $12,348 for the extra 2,000 sq ft. Mr. Williams was quite upset as he believes these fees are too high. He will work to get you put into a lower "fee category" but cannot promise anything. If you have a floor plan of the planned temporary facility it might help. They are considering you to be a retail outlet and Mr. Williams is trying to make the point that you are an office/support facility; that your "retail space" consists of a five foot long desk where fuel sales are concluded. The rest is crew support space.

2) Water Sewer Impact Fee. Water and sewer fees are based on the size of the lease, in this case the fees are based on the 1.7 acre plot of your leased parcel of land. Based on the information we presented, they suggested installing a 2" water line with a 3/4" water meter which means the impact fees for water and sewer would run approximately $20,000. If you installed a 1" meter the impact fees would run about $25,000.

We told them you were not planning on constructing a hangar at this time, but might incorporate one in the permanent facility.

The planner said that landscaping at the 40th St. entrance way will be required, and the number of parking spaces will be based on the amount of office space.

Modular buildings need to be approved by both the City and the State (the vendors are familiar with the process). They will require ADA accessibility, plumbing fixtures, plans for utilities and water. They will also need to have dual pane windows for sound attenuation, which will be required to be tested on site. No skylights. They said you should be careful when acquiring the building. In the past some people have inadvertently purchased what turned out to be residential buildings. The building must be a Commercial Building and not Residential. One of them suggested GE Capital Buildings which are used by the school district. The building must be located at least 10 feet from the proposed property line.

The Fire Marshal reminded us that because the temporary building may be on location for longer than one year, fire sprinklers are required. He said that you can order them with this feature installed. The site must have two points of access for fire truck access, and the current plan layout already has that built in.

The Fire Marshal also said that fuel tanks must be double walled and follow the fire code and require dual submittal, both to the City of Yuma and to the State. He said that Av Fuel typically handles everything. Mr. Williams will handle all of that.

The city engineer said that retention basins and a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan will be required. Please note that the City of Yuma does not have a storm water system because it only rains once a year.

Mr. Williams asked me to give you the name of the Civil Engineering Firm that we use; they have been involved in all of the development work we've done in that area and are very knowledgeable about the DCC, the soils, water, sewer, our utility plant, etc. I am also including names of two builders, we've used both with good results.

Mr. Williams,

On Thursday, February 18th at 3:00, Mr. Williams and Gen attended a Pre-Development Meeting with City of Yuma staff to discuss the potential of Million Air starting FBO services at the airport, specifically in the DCC area between the NASA and Fed-Ex sites. The following are notes taken from the meeting:

Vince said that fees will be applicable to the structure and suggested they pay impact fees for temporary facility and then the balance of the impact fees once the permanent facility is constructed.

Tom suggested installing a 2" line from the start. Water and sewer fees will be based on the size of the lease.

Vince said the facility could be considered office/retail, but will check with an advisory and see if he can list it as office/retail as accessory use to the military which will be less than regular office/retail. He estimates the costs being: Office - 0-10,000 sf - $3,945 per 1,000 SF and Retail - 0-10,000 sf - $6,174 per 1,000 sf.

Alan asked where the fleet of fuel trucks will park. Mr. Williams offered a couple of suggested areas.

Shelly asked if paint, tools, or maintenance gear would be housed inside the facility and asked if a hangar would also be incorporated into the site.

Vince asked that a copy of the floor plan, and lease agreement be sent to him when available.

Bob said that landscaping at the 40th St. entrance way will be required, and the parking lot will be based on the amount of office space.

Alan said that modular buildings need to be approved by both the City and the State. It will require ADA accessibility, plumbing fixtures, plans for utilities and water. It will also need to have dual pane windows for sound attenuation, which will be required to be tested on site. No skylights. The building must be a Commercial Building and not Residential. Alan suggested GE Capital Buildings. The facility must also be 10 feet from the proposed property line. The fuel farm will require an electrical permit.

Kent said that fire sprinklers are required in the temporary building if it is there for longer than a year. The site must have two points of access. Fuel tanks must be double walled and follow the fire code and require dual submittal, both to the City of Yuma and to the State. He said that Av Fuel typically handles everything.

Tom said that he believes the facility will be a minimum use restroom and doesn't think they will be cleaning airplanes. Based on this information, he estimates that if a 3/4" meter were installed, with 2" service, it would run $20,000. If a 1" meter were used, it would run $25,000.

Vince said that retention basins and a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan will be required.

I have a list of people all written in a book - and every year at C hristmas time I go and take a look. And that is when I realize that those names are all a part - not of the book they're written in but of my very heart. For each name stands for someone who has crossed my path some time - and in that meeting they've become a treasured friend of mine. And once you've met some people the years cannot erase - the memory of a pleasant word or of a friendly face.

So when I send an email that is addressed to you - it's because you're on that 'Special List' of folks that I'm indebted to. And you are one of several folks in times past that I've met - and happen to be one of those I don't want ever to forget. And whether I have known you for many years or few - In some way you have had a part in shaping things I do.

So this is the Spirit of Christmas that forever still endures - May it leave its richest blessing in the hearts of you and yours!

Thanks for your quick response. I reviewed the exhibits with Mr. Williams and you've got the right stuff. Your mark up of the Fed-Ex site will not include the 90.49', as the airport will use this area as an entrance for the facility and we don't lease that land.

Good Afternoon Steve,

We are very happy with your decision to stay with us. One point I did not make, is that Yuma County Airport Authority an independent public agency and a non-profit organization. The charges to use the facilities are put right back into infrastructure and improvements to our facilities = so that we can provide better services.

Below is the temporary lease agreement, credit card authorization, and financial breakdown for Hangar Alpha (60'x65'), Hangar Bravo (60'x60') and the Foghorn Office Suite:

Weekly 3 days Total Foghorn$ 1,250.00 $ 750.00 $ 2,000.00 Hangar A$ 1,500.00 $ 840.00 $ 2,340.00 Hangar B$ 1,000.00 $ 540.00 $ 1,540.00 $ 3,750.00 $ 2,130.00 $ 5,880.00

Upon receipt of the signed lease and credit card authorization, I will formally schedule the facilities, and send an invoice and receipt to you via email.

Prior to your arrival, please fill out the excel spreadsheet with the names of your crew, have them fill out the badge application online. Please identify one person as being 'in charge' who will be responsible for the keys to the facilities. I will have the keys available in the Operations Department.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or determine that you require additional facilities.

I wish you a wonderful weekend and look forward to your response.

Good Afternoon Lt. Jones,

We are very happy to accommodate your needs, as we have a contractor who will have (4) hangars completed by April 1. Here are the hangar sizes, amenities and prices:

Each hangar has a 22' eave height with a door clearance of 18'. Each hangar has 220v single phase and there is access to a 50 amp outlet. Water and power is included.

Here is a photo of the hangars in their current status (photo taken on 2/10/11):

As I mentioned, the hangars are not in the same location on the airport where the Antonov 124 will taxi/park. Below is a diagram which depicts where the Antonov will park and the transfer/haul route to the hangars. The haul route will utilize an existing perimeter road.

Please have your pilot inform the control tower that you are going to park on the DCC apron off of Taxiway Foxtrot 1. The large concrete apron is rated for 980,000 lbs.

Here are the directions to get an airport badge and driving certification for Yuma International Airport:

And of course, we are proud to have Million Air here at Yuma International Airport, who will not only provide terrific customer service, ground support equipment/services and fuel - their new facility, complete with restaurant is right next door to where your hangar/office facilities are.

Give me a call if you have any questions - we're here to make your job easier.

Skywest is beginning operations under US Airways Express with the arrival of their first CRJ-200 aircraft yesterday morning with flights from Yuma International Airport to Phoenix. The 50-passenger twin-engine plane has a faster cruising speed reducing the flight time from 40 to 25 minutes which is a great benefit to passengers. Skywest will undergo a transitional period and will eventually take over the service from Mesa Airlines which was using an older 37-seat dash 8 turboprop aircraft

While you were here, we discussed the development of the Aviation Industrial Center - we just had an article in the paper, feel free to use anything: http://www.yumasun.com/news/airport-75609-williams-yuma.html

Hi Jim,

Thanks again for the note this morning, and I look forward to talking with you on Tuesday.

I also wanted to let you know that our Board of Directors have given us their blessing to install another permanent office facility to support Boeing's mission of having both the 787 & 747-8 here at the same time. The new 1,440 sf facility will be placed directly behind an existing facility, will have 20 mbps internet, consist of four offices, restroom, large conference room, fully furnished - and be operational by June 16. I've included the graphic below to help you envision the set up of the facilities as well as the apron availability.

We've also worked with Million Air, helping ensure everyone has a successful mission.

Feel free to share this information with James Oien, as I believe internet and apron availability were his two primary concerns if both aircraft were here at the same time..

I'll talk with you on Tuesday - and hope you have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Gen Grosse Corporate Account Manager Yuma International Airport 2191 E. 32nd Street Yuma, AZ 85364

Hi Manny,

It was good talking with you this morning.

Here's some information about the Love Hangar & Tweety Office:

First is correspondence from Time Warner regarding internet:

This is the description about the facilities along with pricing (full service). Shortly before we leased it to Million Air, we figured realistic pricing to defense contractors at about $8k/mo

Here is the credit card authorization form that we use.

And here is the temporary rental agreement that we use. We wanted it to be short and sweet and to the point. Million Air's original lease with YCAA allows you to sub-lease facilities, as long as we review and approve it. Once we've approved your sub-lease, you can use it for any customers and don't have to send each sub-lease to us.

We have found that posting both the credit card authorization/temp rental agreement on our website has been beneficial to our customers.

Feel free to call for any questions. I'd be glad to send the photos of the Love Hangar and Tweety to you to be incorporated into Million Air marketing packages...

Hope it helps! We'll talk again soon!

Bill,

It certainly is an impressive aircraft. Below are several photos of the Flanker from past airshows. As you can see they have been working on the flat spin recovery and nose down attitude for quite some time. It is true, I definitly would not want to get into " 'close in' air-to-air combat" with the Flanker because I would worry about engine damage from it's parts coming loose and flying into my path. Fortunately, our air-to-air technology is based on the idea of, and has the capability of, killing our opponents from fifty to a hundred miles away. I believe we are the only country that has this kind of technology but I could be wrong.

Good Afternoon Scott,

As per your request, the Airport Authority has ordered and positioned a new facility to be used by Million Air customers and crew. Please sign and return the new rental agreement for both the existing office (Sylvester) and the new office (Foghorn) from July 1 through October 30. This lease locks the facilities to you through that duration.

I've attached for payment the invoice for Foghorn's July rent. You'll see that the invoice is for July 15th thru July 31st, while we get it set up. Sylvester's July invoice was sent to you for payment a few weeks ago. August's invoice will include rent for all facilities.

The Airport Authority will furnish Foghorn with a refrigerator, wireless internet access and offers the use of desks and black furniture previously used in the Yuma Pilot Center. It is our understanding that Million Air wishes to provide comfortable furniture for customers. There was also discussion about having tv connection in the new facility. The Airport Authority will have Time Warner run a coax cable to Foghorn, providing Million Air the opportunity to set up an account for tv services with Time Warner.

Please let me know if there's anything else that we can do. Wishing you a safe and wonderful holiday weekend!

Hi Joyce

Wanted to share this with you - we just finished the tour. Here's a brief bit I put on Facebook, but we can expound upon it if you like.

Those in attendance: Mr. Williams, Mark Workman, Juan Trasvina and Gen Grosse - YCAA, Robert Pickels - Yuma County, Greg Wilkinson & Kevin Wilkins from City of Yuma, Congressman Gosar and Taylor McArthur (Cassa Grande Office Manager/Caseworker).

Here's a group photo:

3-23-12 Congressman Gosar Visit.JPG

This afternoon #Yuma International Airport was honored to host a meeting with #Congressman Gosar for a presentation and tour of the airport and the Defense Contractor Complex.

The airport briefed Congressman Gosar about the Defense Contractor Complex and the tremendous amount of opportunities within Yuma's reach for economic development and job creation.

While explaining the DCC's mission is to provide support services and facilities to defense contractors, airport staff shared the plans for future build-out of the DCC, which all began with a little hangar currently leased by NASA.

Airport staff explain to Congressman Gosar that the airport has plenty of land for development of aerospace MRO facilities which are high-paying jobs. That's the airport's mission - provide the best customer service and create jobs.

It's not hard to explain or showcase the assets and resources that Yuma has to offer - especially with partnerships with the City, the County, MCAS, YPG & GYEDC - Yuma is where the future begins.

Good Morning Donny,

I, too, enjoyed our conversation, and we are really looking forward to supporting you and your mission which begins April 17 through May 3rd. The facility that we offer is top notch and provides our customers the peace of mind of military spec security, as well as being within minutes of the city center.

I completely understand your concerns and financial position, and have spoken with both the Airport Director and Chief Financial Officer. They have agreed to allow you to lease the Love Hangar for the duration of your stay for $4,000 - this time only.

As we discussed, our facilities are first come, first served. We require payment prior to arrival, and with your arrival time being April 17, we would need to secure it within the next couple of days. You can fill everything out and email back to me.

Below, you will find everything that you will need to secure the facility and obtain access to the facility:

Please ensure to complete the driving course, especially for those requiring to drive onto the Airfield. This is available on our website: www.yumaairport.com. There is ample vehicle parking on the landside near the Love Hangar with airfield access through gate 20W.

We're looking forward to your stay. Let me know if you have any questions or if you need additional information.

Thanks so much and we'll talk soon!

Gen,

Thanks for the e-mail. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation yesterday about the Love Hangar that you have available. I sure would appreciate it if you can give me a call as soon as you have some time available. We are a little concerned with the pricing of the Hangar. As I said yesterday, we are a SMALL research and development company. The price of $6200 for a month is a little steep and it cuts pretty deep into our bottom line. We are looking for a price closer to $4000 or lower.

This is what it boils down to, I am hoping you can either provide a better deal or something else at the airport for a lower price. I know we are all trying to make a buck, but any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Please give me a call when you get a chance.

Hello Gen, I would like to provide the videos for you. However, I am not certain I can make it fit into a $1000 per month agreement. How often do these videos come up? I have reviewed the sample that FOX provided to you. There is room to improve the presentation of the Airport to the community. Here are 2 pricing options... 1. I film it in the same style as FOX. One camera pointed at the talent, use lighting and framing to provide a more pleasing visual. Film multiple takes if need for final editing that present the speaker in his'/her's best light and incorporate provided logos, photos, etc, audio editing. $900 each 2. I film using multiple cameras to give multiple angle of the speaker, use lighting and framing as needed for great shots, edit multiple takes for a final take that presents the speaker in the best light, on-site video of locations or action shots when needed to support story, use provided logos and images as well as create any needed graphics, audio editing. $1500 each Currently, the web site I am building for the DCC which includes design, programming, implementation of a content management system, custom quote calculator programming and photo editing is $3000. At $1000 per month, a couple of large jobs can easily put me a few months ahead of my self as far as payments. For December to September at $2000 a month I was able to provide a discount that averaged out to a 25% savings. I have attached a PDF that list the jobs I completed from December to September. At $1000 per month I am able to offer a10% savings. Please let me know which style of video you would like produced. From that we can take a look at the monthly to see how to best work them in. Thank you Gen,

We run commercials with Fox 9 and as part of our package, we get six 3 minute 'Business Talk' sessions to discuss things about the airport - like an interview.

Mr. Williams didn't like what they produced, and instead wants to see if you will produce them for us - similar to what you did for our commercials - different commercials though but alike.

We need to get one done soon for Million Air - and I'll get that coordinated with James Combs, you - and also find out the deadlines for each.

Good Morning Project Committee Members,

We have scheduled a priority meeting with City Manager Greg Wilkinson and County Administrator Robert Pickels to discuss a project that has made a commitment to Yuma. Highway Safety Corporation (www.highwaysafety.net) has chosen Yuma to be the site of their new west coast facility. The steel fabrication manufacturer is currently evaluating two sites in Yuma that have rail access and the needed space for the operation. At this time, Union Pacific has quoted a cost of $500-$750k to bring a rail spur from their main lead onto either property site. The concern is that Phoenix (competitor city) has available rail served building and land sites which will not require nearly as much rail infrastructure improvements as Yuma. The client has expressed the same concern but remains committed to Yuma if we can bridge the disparity in cost.

The intent of the meeting is to discuss and negotiate with both public entities what they are willing to leverage in order to win this project. We would like to see as many of you as possible at next weeks meeting to bring fresh ideas to the table and help us reach an agreement that benefits the entire community. We have scheduled to meet with Greg and Robert at 10AM on Wednesday, September 28th at GYEDC offices. If you have any questions about the project please contact Greg LaVann. The company's project scope and economic impact is attached for your review.

We apologize for the short notice but the company's CEO and COO will be visiting Yuma on October 4th and 5th to potentially sign a land deal and meet with City staff for a pre-development meeting so we need to hold this meeting in advance of their arrival.

Gen,

I’ve attached a rendering of the parking lot side of what the FBO building will look like. I’ll have a better renderings once the design work is completed but didn’t know what your time frame was.

Unfortunately, I do not know of any pre filmed statements on the services provided by Million Air. That being said, there is a really neat promotional video that Million Air had professionally done that I think would work great for this. I’m trying to get a copy of it now and when I do I will forward it to you.

Hi Scott,

We've hired a local filmcrew to interview clients/receive testimonials that we can put on our defensetesting.com website. Here's a couple of questions they've posed to me about Million Air, and I was first wondering if you'd be interested in being included, and if so - would you have what they're looking for? 1. Does Million Air have any artistic rendering of what the proposed Yuma location will look like once it is remodeled? 2. Does Million Air have any pre filmed statements from someone like the CEO of Million Air that we could use? Maybe saying something like "we strive to bring a quality experience to all of our clients", etc.

Thanks so much and we'll chat soon!

Mr. Williams,

I got the email below from Junior.

I pulled up info about Jimbo's company Ag Tech, LLC online:

AG TECH LLC is a All Other Miscellaneous Crop Farming Farm Management Services Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal company located in Yuma, AZ

I'm actually going out to Alan Pruitt's place tomorrow morning at his invitation.

Honestly, I'd rather hold out for Alan and the pursuit of DCC stuff, than to have someone with their ag plane hauling fertilizer...

But, I'll give Jimbo a call and try to stall him while we work on pricing out the hangar.

Here's the matrix we used when figuring Million Air's cost for the Love Hangar (before the Freeman's negotiated the pricing). I've changed it to 2500 sf for Rolle's hangar sf

It's in the following drive: M:\Marketing\DCC\DCC Facilities\Facility Pricing

Hey Gen......

Jimbo Donely was in my office this afternoon. He is interested in leasing the building at Rolle Field.

When you get a chance to put together a package for it, please forward it to Jimbo. I mentioned this briefly to Mr. Williams who agreed that the facility should be leased with rates similar to the Love Hangar (by square foot) if the use is for a commercial enterprise and more in line with the Hangars in Hero Hangar bldg B if just for aircraft storage. He would not tell me the intended use.

Adriana can get you his contact info. He is a hangar building D tenant.

One location was Las Vegas, NV. I would like to market the capabilities of Yuma. Can you give me a fact sheet on the size and capabilities of the DCC ramp so I can speak intelligently to them?

TY Air is the customer that would like to park a B737-700 for 2-3 months. My contact is Norm Sanders (630-596-3397) and he anticipates that they will arrive in 30-45 days.

He requests a monthy rate for parking, as well as a discounted rate if they purchase bulk fuel (approx 3000gal)

I researched what we had charged them in 2009 and in March 2010 through Care Flight...

No Fuel Purchase $3000 / month (2 months total)

Good Afternoon Frank!

Alright, yours was a simple request, and we're glad to help out! We've got it worked out so that you can park the vehicle in 'long term' parking, bring the parking ticket and the vehicle key to our Operations Department which is located inside the airport's terminal on the first floor. Our Operations staff will validate the parking ticket and put it and the vehicle key in a secure box ready for pick up.

Our Operations Department is open M-F from 8 am to 5 pm, and arrangement may be made in advance to pick up the keys during the day on the weekend.

We'll take good care of you. Let us know if there's anything else we can do.

Two paragraphs needed changes. My Changes in blue

The one on solar panels had a factual error. Our panels don't tilt.

The sunshades are solar panels that are anticipated to provide over 80% of the electricity for the airport's passenger terminal for the next 20 years. To keep cost down, the panels are of the fixed angle type, optimized for Yuma's near constant sunshine. The black photovoltaic panels are the only type authorized for use near airports as they do not reflect sunlight.

The one on FedEx had a couple of typos and also quoted Bill Bond without explaining who he his. I put your name in for him.

Other improvements include a new 5,000 square foot Federal Express facility which includes a new package sorting and retail center. Federal Express, which opened the facility in August of 2011, hosted a Grand Opening and tour of their new facility last October. It features modern sorting equipment for packages, additional parking spaces for air freight aircraft and the ability to meet customer's needs far into the future.” Gross explained “An added bonus is that the spacious new center makes life much easier for the employees handling all the packages.” Craig Williams Airport Director Yuma International Airport 2191 E 32nd Street, Ste 218 Yuma, AZ 85365 928-726-5882

Good Afternoon Dennis,

We are so glad to have you back again! We're looking forward to accommodating your Cessna Pelican aircraft along with the Aircraft Support Trailer from approximately April 13th to April 23rd. As in the past, there are no parking or landing fees for the aircraft, but there is a small $168.00 fee for the support trailer, which is payable prior to your arrival.

Badging at the airport is very simple. All of the information is on our website - www.yumaairport.com. Click on Driver's Training on the left side of the tree, and follow the instructions for badge application. If you have persons that need to drive on the airport, they will need to complete the driving course, I've provided the link below. http://www.yumaairport.com/yumahome.nsf/bc8de3f572ebb41a0725735e001c9862/7e8583edd43a6a1f0 725749b0056d98a?OpenDocument

We have finished the construction on the South GA aprons where CIRPAS has parked in the past. I look forward to your arrival on Friday when we can take a ride to look at the site and determine where your footprint will be.

Million Air's new facility is open and beautiful - you're going to love it! We can stop by and say hi to the same friendly staff while we're out there.

I've attached a small package which includes the lease agreement and credit card authorization, If you would, please forward to the appropriate persons for action/payment.

I hope that you have a terrific next couple of days, and I'll see you on Friday!

Grant Ware said the helo has to land at Million Air - I sent him an aerial diagram asking if it can land on the pads by PHI - will advise his response. (Am sure the visitors will be impressed with Million Air though).

I will coordinate the Yukon and Suburban be parked either land/airside depending on direction from Grant about helo parking.

Media Release For Immediate Release

MEDIA ADVISORY: Street Dedication to Honor Champion of Historic Plane

Section of 36th Street near airport to be renamed after James A. Gillaspie

Yuma, Ariz. - The City of Yuma invites members of the media and the general public to a dedication honoring a man whose achievements include a challenging and successful return and refurbishment of the historic City of Yuma airplane to the place where it made world aviation history.

th WHAT: A section of 36 Street east of Arizona Avenue will be renamed Gillaspie Place and dedicated in honor of James A. Gillaspie.

WHEN: 11 a.m. Friday, Dec. 16, 2011

th WHERE: Northeast corner of the intersection of the former 36 Street and Burch Way. nd Access by taking Arizona Avenue south of 32 Street and turning left on the first street possible. There is a paved parking lot on site.

WHO: Mayor Al Kreiger, Deputy Mayor Raul Mendoza, City Administrator Greg Wilkinson and members of City of Yuma staff; Albert Gardner, Vice President of the Airport Authority and member of the local Experimental Aircraft Association; James Combs, General Manager of Million Air; Gillaspie's wife Karen, son Scott, daughter Sandy and other members of Gillaspie's family; and members of the local aviation community.

The Yuma City Council approved Resolution R2011-32 on Nov. 2, 2011, calling for the section of th 36 Street between Arizona Avenue and Burch Way to be renamed Gillaspie Place. The resolution reads, in part, "to recognize the important role and positive impact of James Gillaspie on the history of the Yuma area, the City Council finds it befitting and proper to rename a portion of 36th Street in his honor."

Gillaspie was a key figure in returning the plane used in the 1949 record-setting endurance flight that directly drew attention to Yuma's optimal flying conditions and led to the return of U.S. military presence - and subsequent population boom - in Yuma. Gillaspie was involved in everything from helping to find the plane to physically disassembling it, driving it here by Ryder truck, putting it back together, restoring it and taking it to the air again. With Shirley Woodhouse Murdock, sister of one of the endurance flight's pilots, Gillaspie co-authored "The Longest Flight," the flight's historical account of record.

The Aeronca Sedan AC-15 currently awaits its next destination - the lobby of Yuma City Hall.

Mark Dave Mansheim, the man who forwarded this article to me is, I believe, a former USMC Tower Controller who is usually very critical of the Airport. He works for the Gowan Company, one of our more critically vocal tenants. As you can see, he implies that Col. Kuckuk is imposing standards that exceed the current and near future security concerns of MCAS. This is the same man who told me that our Airport 10 Year Plan was "wrong". When I asked him if he had read it, he said, "No". I responded something like, "You know it's wrong, but you haven't read it. There's no way I can argue with logic like that". Again, in this note, he implies we are all a pack of dummies, and I don't intend to respond. However, I'd like your read of the attached article. Thanks Bill Gresser

How can you guys believe that we will have the JSF in May of 2012 when the program probation decision on the fixes won’t be concluded until next summer?

This is from Aol Defense July 29th 2011

D Mansheim

Washington: Sometimes events are, in and of themselves, news. So it was today when the Joint Strike Fighter program working with the Marines, flew the F-35B for the first time in front of a carefully selected portion of the defense press corps.

For more news and information on the swiftly-changing defense industry, please sign up for the AOL Defense newsletter. You can also catch us on Twitter @AOLDefense.

They flew us in V-22s down to Patuxent River, where the planes are being flight-tested, from the Pentagon. The chairman and CEO of Lockheed Martin, Bob Stevens, was there. The Marine Corps Commandant, Gen. James Amos, was there. The vice admiral in charge of the F-35 program, Dave Venlet, was there. The vice admiral in charge of Naval Air Systems Command David Architzel, was there.

Today's trip was clearly an effort by both the Marines and the Joint Program Office, which Venlet heads, to demonstrate to the American public and to Congress that the F-35 is flying well, building up test data and that its price and schedule are under control -- within the limits of a highly advanced technology program. For the Marines, it was more an effort to prove that the F-35B and the V-22 are worth the money -- as are the Marines.

Gen. Amos claimed that today's trip was not a "shaping" exercise and then proceeded to try and shape our views -- all of it legitimate education and an admirable effort to reach beyond the Beltway and tell the American people his story. But it was still shaping. The press had a rare chance to press him on why the country should buy the Marines version of the plane. And Amos, the first pilot to serve as commandant, defended the program pretty convincingly.

"What we wanted today was just to get the truth out," he said.

The country, Amos said, had a basic choice: field 11 or 22 carriers. Take away the F-35B and America would be left with half as many carriers because the Harrier jump jet is closing in on the end of its operational life. If it is retired and there aren't any F-35Bs, then the Marines would be left with their smaller deck carriers and virtually nothing to put on them that could do what the Marines recently did in Libya. They led the way in striking Muammar Qaddafi, without a single big-deck Navy carrier in sight.

So, Amos said, the country and the senior Pentagon leadership need to decide whether building the Vertical Takeoff and Landing version of the F-35, especially in these parlous budgetary times, is worth it. "Is the juice worth the squeeze? We've got to have that discussion..." Amos said.

After Amos took questions, I got about 15 minutes with Venlet and Architzel. I pressed Venlet on when he thought the F-35B could come off the two-year probation which former Defense Secretary Robert Gates imposed on the program. He said they wouldn't have enough flight-test and sea trial data until at least next summer when he would then make a recommendation. The VTOL plane is due to head for sea trials aboard the USS Wasp either in September-October (which is what the commandant said) or October-November, which is what someone I couldn't see said at the event today.

Venlet also reiterated his now standard line that all the F-35B problems uncovered during recent testing have solutions. One of the reasons no decision can be made before next summer -- at the earliest -- is because those fixes must now undergo extensive testing. He will take that data and share it with the commandant "for his discussion with the secretary."

And I asked Venlet the money question: who paid for today's flight of the F-35B and all that surrounded it. "It is out of the JPOs budget, which is resourced by all three services." The plane flew one of its more than 100 short vertical takeoffs and provided test data throughout the flight, he said: "So there is value for the dollars expended today."

Adm. Architzel, clearly a bit ruffled by my questions, was more pointed: "This is not an event. We would not do this without capturing the data that comes from this." What were the impressions gathered from the event? Having witnessed tests of the F-35B's engine, I wasn't surprised by the incredible thrust it generates. But the stability it demonstrated during a sustained hover stunned me. I could picture myself sitting on the wing and fishing in the Pax River. And seeing an advanced fighter jet fly at 60 mph -- slower than Cessna can fly -- was pretty amazing. But all this is part of why the Marines want the plane. It can land or takeoff from a huge array of locations. And its flight envelope is enormous. Combine that with stealth and unparalleled ISR and cyber capabilities and you may just have one impressive weapon.

This is in response to your question regarding Mr. Alberti's request for copies of the candidate applications. The law for Public Records are found in the Arizona Revised Statutes Title 39, "Public Records, Printing and Notices."

The Statute only, and specifically, refers to "Permanent" public records. This is to prevent a continuous stream of requests for "working papers." At this point, I consider the Candidate Applications to fall into the category of "Working Papers" because we're still dealing with them on a daily basis. I haven't yet determined the best way to present the applications to the Board, because some of them are difficult to read; some through the transmission process and some because of penmanship. In any case, it is not yet time to call them permanent records.

I use this same philosophy on all documents that we generate. In preparation for a Board meeting there are often dozens of working papers, in the form of rough drafts, sketches, and other materials. If asked by the public, I would not provide these documents because they are not permanent records. By the time we finish preparation for a board meeting and have everything ready to transmit to your Kindles, Andrea prints everything out and it is that package that becomes our "permanent record."

Beyond that, our policy manual states, "The Airport Director shall establish consistent records retention practices. Unless otherwise required by law all airport records shall be maintained for a period of three (3) years and then destroyed."

Please let me know if you would like more information on this topic.

I believe that the membership of this committee includes: Bob Corbett, Ed Whitehead, and Bill Gresser. Also, please include Jeanine on this inquiry.

The purpose of this meeting is to discussion two issues:

1. A report from either Craig or Gen concerning updates to the website relative the work being done at the airport. This was to have been updated in January based on the meeting of this committee at the end of 2011.

2. At the request of the Board President this committee has been asked to look into and report back to the Board any potential solutions to continuing concerns about the roll, structure and substantive content of the Board minutes.

Mr. Gresser,

Sounds good. I will contact them and sort out the details of their visit. They had said there were planning and trip to Victorville on Monday/Tuesday and would add Yuma to their itinerary. I'll let you know the schedule. I thought I would meet with Joe one-on-one prior to their visit to keep him in the loop. Their last visit caused quite a stir among his employees, and will likely do so again, so I'd like to give him notice of their visit ahead of time so he can keep the rumor mill under control.

Craig This response is, more or less, what I expected from them. While I believe we should not be looked at as being on a fishing expedition, there is more to be gained than lost by continuing discussions and negotiations with them. I'm available to be with them as well, if you feel it's needed. Rob will be back on Monday and we could arrange an Executive Committee meeting next week. Let's see and hear what they propose. I believe we need to be very transparent and public as soon as possible, but not yet. We don't want to blindside Care Flight. Bill Gresser

To: [email protected] CC: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Million Air From: [email protected] Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 22:57:23 -0700

Dear Mr. Gresser,

I finally spoke with a contracting officer at DESC. As best I can tell, the contract that Joe Gamez is speaking of is the assumption of Martha's contract. It will last through about March of 2011 and then go out for re-bid. It would be a valid contract and there is nothing that should keep him from getting the contract. Chris Freeman of Million Air seems to think that he has an inside track on getting a brand new contract for 4 years.

After talking to DESC I called Chris Freeman late this afternoon. I explained that I had discussed his last offer with you and and Mr. Ingold and that the Board was firm that we would not break the lease with CareFlight under any circumstances. I thanked him very much for his consideration; it was very cordial and we said goodbye.

Scott Freeman called five minutes later. What about letting them come in and set up a temporary manufactured office building (i.e. doublewide) in the south GA ramp and start operations? After one year they will build their fancy Million Air FBO facility. They ask that we supply them with a starter fuel farm, (i.e. the 3 fuel tanks of Lux Air) and they will do the rest.

I said that I thought the Board would consider that proposal very favorably. In providing this offer they are essentially agreeing to everything in the 2 TIER FBO requirement that we have established. They would invest 1 million dollars in the airport within eighteen months (probably more like two years) and they would upgrade to TIER 2 FBO prior to selling fuel because they would bring in fuel trucks, equipment, etc.

Our Cost: We would have to arrange for the fuel tanks, no idea how much that would cost. Not too worried as they obviously believe they are going to sell a lot of fuel. I sent an email to Sean Elton of Lux Air stating that I might have a lead for the tanks and asking how much to sell or lease. He responded that he is checking on pricing. Keep in mind that we are essentially giving CareFlight a fuel farm as well. They are getting the 40,000 gallon fuel farm that Martha had for $1 a month for the first six months, then $500 a month after that. Pretty good deal for him. I don't feel bad about providing a fuel farm for Million Air if it gets them here.

On the phone Mr. Freeman and I discussed setting up their mobile FBO trailer just inside the fence where the PHI trailer is now (we're removing that soon), and then they would probably build their new facility on the two lots that Lux Air was planning on.

If they are really going to sell almost all Military Fuel, we might consider pushing them to establish their mobile FBO in the DCC next to the Pappy hangar. Lots of options to consider; no decision required right this minute.

Junior correctly observes that those guys must see an enormous opportunity at this base. They have come back with new offers after every single turn down.

If this works for you I will let them know and they will visit early next week (probably on Tuesday) to view the area once more and see if it works for them. You can reach me by email here or at home at 341-0941. As soon as I get your go ahead I will contact them this weekend and set it up. I believe this is time sensitive; I would like to respond tomorrow (Saturday) or Sunday noon at the latest if possible.

On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 10:43 PM, Albert Gardner wrote: I’m with you on this Bill. I have come to the conclusion that we are wasting our time talking about POV’s and what a POV is or is not. I think the prior discussion had some merit in that it has allowed us to demonstrate to MCAS that we are quite serious on the subject of access however. And, just as important, the GA community in general (because they have been involved in the ongoing discussions) is blaming MCAS not the airport for causing the problem.

In our next meeting I was hoping to concentrate on the idea of “uncontrolled and unrestricted access” on the GA side and just quit talking about POV’s entirely. If we ‘control’ via stepped-up background checks of users, authorize only certain vehicles and maybe sticker them and call them ‘authorized service vehicles’, and then restrict access to necessary uses (as you say, ‘whatever the wording’) I believe we can tell the Col. we no longer have uncontrolled and unrestricted access on the GA ramp. Problem solved. I really think we have come as far as our tenants will lend their support to. They will not support a total ban.

FYI, I am sure if we eliminate all access we will get pushback from our tenants that will cause us far more grief than MCAS ever could. And I think a lot of it will spill over onto them as a serious lessening of community support for the MCAS presence in Yuma. Our ag related tenants employ a very large number of Yumans and there is talk of stepped up letter-writing, noise complaints, and general negativity toward MCAS from their employees. These guys are NOT happy and they don’t talk like they will just roll over and play dead. I would really hate to see something like that get started, who knows where it would end or how much damage to the Yuma/MCAS relationship it might do. For sure we don’t want any of our soldiers to feel unappreciated or blamed for command decisions.

I’d like to hit Craig up tomorrow if that is convenient for you. Let me know.

Albert I believe you will have another meeting of the Committee and I have some thoughts I'd like to pass along for your collective consideration. We have the only Shared Use facility in the country. The definitions that we and the Marines are using, "POV", etc. relate to a Joint Use facility. It seems all our deliberations revolve around preventing POV's inside the perimeter fence, while allowing access for "service vehicles". I would like you to consider changing the discussions to a more positive direction. Let me explain: 1. Any vehicle that is not owned by a branch of the Federal, State or local government is, by definition, a "Privately Owned Vehicle". That definition includes all the non-governmental aircraft, as well as cars, trucks, etc. 2. If there were "No POV's inside the perimeter fence", there could be no Commercial or General aviation. Therefore, there are exceptions. 3. There is no question that fuel trucks, construction vehicles, etc. (Million Air's golf carts and many more too numerous to list here) are allowed inside the fence under certain restrictions and conditions. 3. Everyone passing through our gates has a badge and has been cleared by security for access. 4. Every car, truck, etc. that passes through our gates does so to "service an aircraft", be it with passengers, cargo, equipment, etc. Therefore, If somehow we could redirect the discussion to indicate that "Only those vehicles, operated or escorted by (someone who has been cleared by security and has a badge.....whatever the wording here would be), used to service aircraft will be allowed inside the perimeter fence...... etc." I think this would give us and MCAS a way to restrict access while allowing aircraft on the civilian side to be serviced. If you think this has merit, I'd like to get together with you and Craig and explore it. Bill G. GYEDC/City of Yuma Twitter's hacked Gen Grosse to: Craig Williams, jason 03/14/2012 05:13 PM

Mr. Williams/Jason,

Regarding last night's topic about phishing/hacking, I wanted to let you know about the correspondence below between myself and Martha Guzman of the City - that they and GYEDC's Twitter accounts had been hacked - both in late February.

I just spoke with Julie of GYEDC who confirmed that their Twitter had been hacked. They resolved the issue by changing their password. But she did say that two of their investor's - Poly Construction and First Solar's twitter accounts had also been hacked.

I also received a 'tweet' similar to the one below both yesterday before the board meeting, and again last night after the board meeting. I sent yesterday's tweet to Jason as a FYI that I thought it was strange.

My question - is it just coincidence that YCAA/GYEDC/City of Yuma's Twitter accounts were attacked at the same time? And were they attacked by one person? If GYEDC and their investors are at risk - so are those companies who are considering Yuma for their projects.

Since the board is concerned, and there was talk that the community as a whole needs to stand up - I was wondering what you think about talking with City Administrator, Greg Wilkinson - who's prior role with the City was IT. I wonder if he would be interested in working together - or may offer additional information about resources/tools available to find out who's behind it.

Lastly - and personally - I feel this is a form of terrorism, in the sense that several members of the board last night mentioned the word 'fear'. They fear for their personal safety, fear for their companies, and fear for our community. Terrorism - instill fear...

Thanks much,

Fw: Haz Mat Documents Gen Grosse to: Gladys Wiggins 05/11/2011 12:59 PM Cc: Craig Williams

The information below may be useful for the HazMat portion of the In Brief Book:

On 4/15/11, Jeff Keen of Boeing asked if YCAA has anyone on the airport qualified to prepare haz mat documents.

While YCAA does not have persons qualified to prepare such documents, YCAA coordinated a meeting on 4/20/11 with Mark Galate of NEI, Jeff Keen and Mike Sharp of Boeing to discuss their requirements.

Jeff stated that at times, Boeing needs to send fuel samples to Seattle. Boeing provides pre-approved metal quart sized bottles with screw on lids, as well as HazMat documents as well as MSDS paperwork. They require a person qualified to fill out the DOT paperwork, package and ship the fuel samples.

Mark of NEI stated that neither NEI nor Federal Express have persons qualified to fill out the DOT paperwork, package & ship, but found that the owner (Lucy) of United Parcel Service (UPS) located on 16th Street and Avenue B does have the necessary certification.

Jeff noted the information and planned to visit Lucy at UPS.

This brought up the topic of sending large items such as bottles of compressed gas. Mark of NEI was not aware of a company in town that provides the service and said that he would look into it. As of this date, I have not received further information.

Jeff asked what to do with spent oil and used rags. I informed him that they are to contact Million Air for the disposal of those items.

Jeff mentioned that at times Boeing is required to sump fuel (defuel into a tanker and vacuum residual fuel in cell fuel bowser). Jeff said that Boeing will handle the procedure internally.

We've been pretty good at keeping this under wraps but at the Good Morning Yuma breakfast on Friday, several people were talking about our potential NASA deal and one of them (don't know who) contacted the editor at the Sun. This afternoon I received a visit from Joyce Lobeck asking for a confirmation.

I emphasized to her several times that this was NOT a done deal and pushed a little to see if they could hold on to the story for another week or so, but no deal. Her editor was pretty adamant about publishing it, which, of course, is their job.

At that point I felt it best to come clean, rather than beat around the bush. We talked for about twenty minutes and the story is already on the Internet; it will probably be in the morning paper. Joyce did well, as she always does for us, and I am pleased with the result; after all, this really is good news.

I'm writing just to let you know that the story is out; I didn't want you to be surprised.

FYI, today we spoke with the Jacob's attorney and were told we should have the red-lined lease early next week and that NASA plans to start moving in on October 1. I will let all of you know as soon as we "really" have a lease. The Internet story is included below.

Respectfully,

NASA interested in leasing new airport hangar

September 11, 2009 5:24 PM BY JOYCE LOBECK, SUN STAFF WRITER

Final details are being ironed out with NASA to potentially lease the new defense contractor's hangar at Yuma International Airport that has just been completed. "We have a deal we're trying to put together," Craig Williams, airport manger, confirmed Friday.

"It's not finalized, and we don't have a signed contract," he cautioned. "We're still going through the administrative process."

However, he said, "every indication is that we will conclude the deal and have a signed lease. We're down to the kinds of details as who gets the furniture."

The potential deal with NASA has happened quickly, Williams said, explaining that the facility was first shown to "decision makers" of the agency in early August.

Williams said he's hopeful to have a signed lease this fall, with NASA expected to move in shortly afterward.

"My impression is that they want the hangar and (to) move in as soon as possible," he said.

NASA is looking for a facility to base its testing of parachutes for the newest generation of space travel launch craft, Williams explained. The agency already is testing the parachutes at Yuma Proving Ground.

"They need a permanent home to work out of," he said.

The 15,000-square-foot state-of-the-art hangar was built by local contractor LoCoco-Pilkington Construction at a cost of approximately $1.7 million. It is named in honor of Greg "Pappy" Boyington, a World War II aviation hero and commander of the famed Black Sheep Squadron that still operates at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma.

If NASA does end up occupying the hangar, Williams said, "that would tie together early aviation with the newest generation of NASA space flight."

The proposal on the table is for Jacobs Engineering Group to lease the hangar on behalf of its client, NASA, Williams said. Employees of the engineering firm would work alongside NASA personnel.

The parachute system being developed for NASA would be used for landings of the Orion crew module designed to launch a six-person crew from Earth and return them safely. It will be capable of transporting and housing crews on International Space Station, lunar and Mars missions, Williams reported.

The potential leasing of the hangar for NASA validates the vision of the Airport Authority's board of directors in pursuing development of the Defense Contractors Complex on the west side of the airport off 40th Street, Williams said. "We wanted to provide a world-class, full-service aviation facility for the government and military."

He noted that the project has been a long-term effort that began three years ago. Since then, $10 million has been invested in the area for improvements and construction of taxiways, aprons, pavement and the hangar.

"We're starting to see the payoff," Williams observed, adding that the building has been shown to several interested parties in the last couple of months to rave reviews.

"We anticipate that this will open the doors to other potential opportunities," he said. Re: POV's Bill Gresser to: Albert Gardner 12/06/2011 05:34 AM Cc: "YIA Williams,Craig" History: This message has been replied to.

Albert Lunch today? Bill G.

In our next meeting I was hoping to concentrate on the idea of “uncontrolled and unrestricted access” on the GA side and just quit talking about POV’s entirely. If we ‘control’ via stepped‐up background checks of users, authorize only certain vehicles and maybe sticker them and call them ‘authorized service vehicles’, and then restrict access to necessary uses (as you say, ‘whatever the wording’) I believe we can tell the Col. we no longer have uncontrolled and unrestricted access on the GA ramp. Problem solved. I really think we have come as far as our tenants will lend their support to. They will not support a total ban.

FYI, I am sure if we eliminate all access we will get pushback from our tenants that will cause us far more grief than MCAS ever could. And I think a lot of it will spill over onto them as a serious lessening of community support for the MCAS presence in Yuma. Our ag related tenants employ a very large number of Yumans and there is talk of stepped up letter‐writing, noise complaints, and general negativity toward MCAS from their employees. These guys are NOT happy and they don’t talk like they will just roll over and play dead. I would really hate to see something like that get started, who knows where it would end or how much damage to the Yuma/MCAS relationship it might do. For sure we don’t want any of our soldiers to feel unappreciated or blamed for command decisions.

I’d like to hit Craig up tomorrow if that is convenient for you. Let me know. Albert

Albert I believe you will have another meeting of the Committee and I have some thoughts I'd like to pass along for your collective consideration. We have the only Shared Use facility in the country. The definitions that we and the Marines are using, "POV", etc. relate to a Joint Use facility. It seems all our deliberations revolve around preventing POV's inside the perimeter fence, while allowing access for "service vehicles". I would like you to consider changing the discussions to a more positive direction. Let me explain: 1. Any vehicle that is not owned by a branch of the Federal, State or local government is, by definition, a "Privately Owned Vehicle". That definition includes all the non-governmental aircraft, as well as cars, trucks, etc. 2. If there were "No POV's inside the perimeter fence", there could be no Commercial or General aviation. Therefore, there are exceptions. 3. There is no question that fuel trucks, construction vehicles, etc. (Million Air's golf carts and many more too numerous to list here) are allowed inside the fence under certain restrictions and conditions. 3. Everyone passing through our gates has a badge and has been cleared by security for access. 4. Every car, truck, etc. that passes through our gates does so to "service an aircraft", be it with passengers, cargo, equipment, etc. Therefore, If somehow we could redirect the discussion to indicate that "Only those vehicles, operated or escorted by (someone who has been cleared by security and has a badge.....whatever the wording here would be), used to service aircraft will be allowed inside the perimeter fence...... etc." I think this would give us and MCAS a way to restrict access while allowing aircraft on the civilian side to be serviced. If you think this has merit, I'd like to get together with you and Craig and explore it. Bill G. Re: New Aviation Project Lead Gen Grosse to: Greg LaVann 09/06/2011 09:50 AM Cc: Craig Williams

Greg LaVann To Gen Grosse , Craig Williams 09/06/2011 09:40 AM cc Subject New Aviation Project Lead

Good Morning Craig and Gen,

Please find below a brief description of a new project lead that came to my attention last Friday. The CEO is an associate from a past project that I worked on when he was working for another company exploring Yuma for a facility locate. I am currently trying to confirm a date for this month when we can travel to his plant in Santa Ana to give a formal presentation and discuss his plans for expansion. We will also be inviting Greg Wilkinson and Robert Pickels to travel with us. In the interim, I would like to send a similar if not the same proposal to him that we sent to Dan Watring. You may find the brief description of the project below along with the company's website.

Regards,

Good Morning Gentlemen,

As Julie mentioned, I was contacted by a client that I was working with on a separate project exploring Yuma a coupe years back. Since then the gentleman has switched CEO positions and has taken the reigns of a very large aviation MRO operation based out of Santa Ana, CA. The company was recently awarded the contract to paint all the new 787 Boeing "Dreamliners" that are coming out of Boeing's new plant in South Carolina. Along with that contract, the company also does service work on other commercial and private jet planes for national airliners around the country. They are also in the midst of acquiring a turbiine components manufacturing plant based out of San Diego that would also be a part of this project.

They have facilities in Victorville, Greenville, MS and Amarillo TX but all those locations are limited for space and cannot expand at the scale necessary for this project. The CEO is very interested in Yuma due to our existing relationship with him, his positive impression of Yuma from past visits and YIA assets. His travel schedule for this week has changed since this weekend so I do not believe we will be making the trip this week. As soon as I know more about availability I will contact your secretaries. You may find below the description and breakdown of the project as it stands today.

Project Leading Edge:

Capital Investment: $50M (70k SF Paint Hangar, 40K SF Manufacturing Hangar, and a 20K SF Heating and Coating Components Hangar)

Job Creation: 200-300 Paint and MRO professionals (an additional 50-100 manufacturing jobs for turbine components)

Description: Leading Edge Aviation Services is the nations largest 3rd Party Aircraft painting company. They were recently awarded the contract to paint all of Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner planes. Along with that major contract, the company has contracts with other commercial aircraft fleets and private jet liners as well. They are seeking to develop a facility that can house the new Boeing planes, private jets and their new manufacturing line of turbine components.

Sir,

Boeing's looking at bringing 80+ engineers/technicians with them each of their (5) trips in June, July, August.

Not all of the 80 will return for each trip.

Badging 80 - according to the different people's schedule (see below) is hampersome - (not to mention costly for Gladys)

Gladys offered 30 generic badges, even offered to photograph them on their site - again, their schedule is off.

Could you give us a little guidance? What's a good solution for us, for them - and for the many others just like them?

Hi Gen.

I appreciate your (and Gladys) continuing effort to make our trips to Yuma as smooth as possible. We will if course do whatever you both deem necessary as we are a guest at your Airport.

As I stated before, one of the most difficult things about badging is to capture all the people in one place. Most of the time we do not have enough seats on board of a test Airplane to bring all necessary staff. Thus we usually have to send people commercially. That, along with all the other different job functions, splinters the people into various groups. Once the Airplane arrives, the second shift Manufacturing proceed directly to the Hotel as they need sleep before they return to the A/P. The first shift Manufacturing people start working on the Airplane. Weights and Balance, Instrumentation, QA, Ground Ops., Industrial Engineering and many other groups normally leave or start working on the Airplane immediately. Pilots also leave because they have crew rest restraints to comply with. Rarely are we able to keep the entire group together as a whole without impacting the work load. Loosing even one day of testing can cost as much as $1M. Letting Gladys come out and take photos will be difficult to arrange, however it is a better option than sending everyone over to the badge room. I hope you understand my plea to use our badge, in conjunction with yours, for picture identification is a big deal for us.

Again we will do whatever necessary to ensure that we do not violate your rules and regulation.

Thanks,

Jim

Good Morning Jim,

I've been talking with our Operations Director, Gladys, about your situation, and we came up with what we hope is a solution:

Gladys will prepare 5 'generic' Boeing badges and issue them to you (or PM) to be distributed at your convenience.

Gladys said she'd be glad to come to your site upon your arrival and take everyone's photo, go back to her office to prepare the badges and bring them back out. Simply email her a name list of the personnel you are having badged (identifying who is ultimately in charge while here), their badge applications, a copy of their drivers license and the drivers course certificate (if required) and that will expedite the process.

If any of the personnel are going to drive onto the airfield, please have them take the Contractors driving course at www.yumaairport.com, go to "Drivers Training" on the left hand side and click on "Contractor". They will need to print it out and attach it to their application.

When emailing the information, in the body of your email, please provide your company's address, office/fax phone and the POC for signing applications. Here's Gladys' email address: [email protected].

Attached is the badging application for the Airport, please ensure you or another planner sign the bottom of the application.

Let me know if this works better for you, and if you have any questions!

Wishing you a wonderful week!

Hi Gen.

I think that we should badge as few people as possible. However the problem is access through the gate without a badge. Although we will have someone at the A/P around the clock, running someone out to the gate, when someone arrives, is difficult. With the wide variety of job skills, coming and going is sort of the standard. It would be nice if the whole shift came as a unit and left as a unit, unfortunately that is not the case. I am not exactly sure how to minimize the number of people badged.

Any suggestions that you might have would be appreciated.

Having Million Air up and running will be good news. We work with Freeman at Moses Lake and Victorville. We appreciate their dedication to their customers.

Good Morning Jim,

Thought I'd let you know that the deal with Million Air has been signed, and they plan to begin construction of their temporary facility in about 3-4 weeks.

Another piece of good news is that yesterday, our existing FBO, CareFlight, was awarded the remaining DESC contract through March 31, 2011. We are very proud of Joe Gamez for working so hard for the contract.

DESC will put the new 4 year contract on the street in Sept-Oct timeframe, where both Million Air and CareFlight will compete for it.

Either way - our clients will reap the rewards.

Oh - our last conversation about badging - you mentioned getting 30 of 80 badged. We could do less than that - maybe even as low as 16. Let me know your thoughts on that.

I hope you have a terrific day and we'll be in touch soon.

Airport signs lease with major refueler

April 12, 2010 10:19 PM BY JOYCE LOBECK - SUN STAFF WRITER

In some good news for the community, the Yuma County Airport Authority announced Monday it has signed a lease to bring a nationally known aviation fueling franchise to Yuma International Airport. The lease is with Million Air, a world leader in military fuel sales, said Craig Williams, airport manager.

"We consider the Million Air brand to be the Ritz-Carlton in the world of aviation services,” said Scott Freeman, chief executive officer of Freeman Holdings, LLC, doing business as Million Air, the largest Million Air franchisee.

Under the agreement, Million Air will be located on the west side of the NASA Hangar on 40th Street between Arizona Avenue and the 4th Avenue extension.

The company will install a temporary mobile office building, with work expected to start by the end of the month. The company's initial investment in site improvements, the building, fuel trucks and other equipment is expected to be about $500,000, Williams said.

Future plans call for building a permanent building at the same location.

"This location within the Defense Contractor Complex enables them to focus on one of their most important customers: military pilots flying military aircraft," said Gen Grosse, corporate account manager of the airport authority.

"Having Million Air at the airport fits perfectly with the airport's goal of adding value to our growing defense industry in Yuma County. This is an exciting development for the entire airfield.”

She said that Million Air will be applying for a contract with Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) that would give it a competitive edge on refueling military aircraft. She noted that Million Air holds DESC contracts at other locations.

"Million Air is the most recognized name brand in one of the world’s most dynamic industries," said Bill Gresser, president of the Yuma County Airport Authority. “We are continually updating our services to the aviation community, civilian and military and commercial. The addition of Million Air to our current FBO (fixed base operator), CareFlight, is another step in that direction.”

FBOs are the "service stations" for aircraft of all types and sizes as well as providing pilot services, Grosse explained.

Williams said it is anticipated that Million Air will serve primarily defense contractors, transient military aircraft and other government aircraft, with its presence expected to attract other such activity.

CareFlight would focus on general aviation, commercial aircraft and corporate planes.

Million Air delivers premium service to pilots at 28 airports across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. Million Air Interlink Inc. owns the Million Air name and franchising rights. Gen Grosse Corporate Account Manager Yuma International Airport 2191 E. 32nd Street Yuma, AZ 85364

"It's all relative." You've probably heard this before, and it's true of everything except right and wrong. But it's especially true of economics, and it's doubly true of all the recent scare-talk about the economy. Simply put, the media and the short-sellers on Wall Street are trying to scare us into having a recession. Since the nice people who read this have some interest in facts and figures, here are a few reasons why things aren't so bad. Heavy Labor First, the housing correction. Now, it's true that we're having a very large housing correction. It may be the sharpest fall-off in housing starts as a percentage of the prior peak that there's ever been in the postwar era. But housing is only about 5 percent of the economy at most. If it falls by half or a third, that's a big drop. In an economy like ours, though, where there was a severe labor shortage before the housing correction, the labor shortfall can be readily absorbed by other sectors, and it is. Real unemployment has barely budged since the housing correction began more than a year ago. It will probably rise, but exports are shooting up so fast because of the weak dollar that overall unemployment may not rise by much at all. (It's currently at 4.7 percent of all workers, but barely 2 percent of full-time breadwinners.) House of Cards Second, there's the subprime "meltdown," as the papers like to call it. This is a genuine problem. Unwary buyers were sold mortgages they couldn't pay for, and are now in trouble despite the president's new mortgage-rate-increase moratorium. And extremely unscrupulous people sold immense bundles of precarious mortgages to institutional buyers who didn't know what they were buying. In some sad cases, the investment banks that sold the mortgage bundles were selling similar instruments short even as they sold the bundles to the innocent. That's a major moral problem, and the magnitude of loss because of defaults on the mortgages seems immense. There may have been roughly $80 billion in losses so far (before liquidation of the collateral, which will greatly reduce the losses). There may be another $150 billion of losses out there, and maybe even another $200 billion. Those numbers seem immense, and to you and me they are. But in the context of the U.S. economy, they're not large enough to do major damage unless the Federal Reserve Board makes serious mistakes. The total bank credit in this country as of October 2007 was about $9 trillion. That doesn't count credit from other sources such as bond issuance or foreign investment, which could easily bring the total to $30 trillion or more. A loss of $50 billion, while immense to you or me or even Bill Gates, is barely one-half of 1 percent of bank credit in the United States. It's hardly more than one-tenth of 1 percent of total available credit. Even if the loss rose to $250 billion, it wouldn't even be 1 percent of available credit. And, again, this number will be greatly reduced upon sale of the collateral and recovery by the lenders. Crude Speculation Next, there's the price of oil, and how it'll drive us all into an early grave. It's true that the price of oil has risen stupendously in the last six years, and especially in the last two. But the cost of oil is less than 3 percent of the average family's budget. Even if it rises by 30 percent from its already lofty levels, the cost to the average family would be painful -- but not lethal. (And, of course, in Texas, Oklahoma, and Alaska, it's a bonanza.) Plus, the surge in wealth of the oil-exporting sheikdoms is largely recycled into investments here. This offsets the effects of the losses from subprime and other risky investments. Currency Events Finally, there's the fear of the falling dollar and what it will do to us. Frankly, aside from the rising cost of oil (the other side of the equation of the falling dollar), the typical family buys little from abroad. Most of what we buy are services, such as government, medical, utilities, and amusements, and then food, and these are almost all produced domestically (unless you're a champagne or other wine snob). The stock market isn't affected because American corporations' earnings are denominated in dollars, so it really doesn't matter how many dollars it takes to buy a Euro. Moreover, perhaps 40 percent of U.S. large-cap earnings come from overseas operations. These come in as Euros, pounds, or yen, and add up to far more dollars for U.S. corporations as the dollar falls. A Sadder, Wiser Future I don't want to be Pollyanna here. There are real problems with our economy, primarily inequality and a looming retirement crisis for baby boomers. But facts are facts, and life is about "how many" as well as "how." The truth is that we passed through a far worse crisis in the tech collapse of 2000-2002, when roughly one-sixth of the nation's wealth was erased. Now, with the mortgage crisis and other problems, we're not even talking about a loss of one-tenth of 1 percent. There's a lot to ruin in a nation. We'll get through this just fine. The road may be bumpy for a year or two, but we'll come up roses in a short time and will be ready to smile -- sadder but wiser.

Looks good to me. Thanks. On Fri, Dec 2, 2011 at 12:34 AM, Craig Williams wrote:

Dear Mr. Gresser and Mr. Freeman,

Here is our draft press release for the Million Air award ceremony. Please make any changes you desire and return it to me or Gen. We'd like to put this out by Friday afternoon.

======Start of Press Release======

Yuma, Arizona: The Yuma County Airport Authority congratulates Chris Freeman, owner of Million Air Yuma for selling over four million gallons of aviation fuel. The achievement will be recognized at an award ceremony on Wednesday, December 8th at 4:00 at Million Air’s facility.

"In their first eighteen months at Yuma, the Million Air team shattered all previous sales records," said Bill Gresser, President of the Airport Authority. The previous 18 month record was just over 2.6 M gallons, back in 2008. "That kind of success comes from a commitment to Customer Service."

"We are absolutely thrilled to receive this wonderful award," said Chris Freeman. "It signifies the professional relationship that we've had with the Airport since our first day. I am confident that partnership will continue to grow for many, many years."

"Our corporate motto is to treat everyone like a millionaire," said CEO Scott Freeman. "We give world-class service to all of our aviation customers." The Million Air standard is to provide the same outstanding customer service to every single pilot; whether they fly a supersonic F-18 Navy jet fighter or a single engine Cessna.

"Our name brings them in the front door," said James Combs, the local station manager for Million Air. "But our service brings them back; over and over."

Million Air is famous the world over for featuring Luxurious facilities for pilots. The local Fixed Base Operator (FBO) building is no exception. Upon arrival at Yuma, Freeman's Million Air franchise took over the renovation project that had just started on their future home, but then tripled the planned investment. As a result, local pilots now enjoy one of the most beautiful FBO's in the country.

"As a result of hard work and great customer service, their fuel sales just keep climbing," said Gresser. Corporate pilots enjoy the modern flight planning areas, the deluxe theater room and the comfortable snooze rooms.

Local pilots take advantage of Million Air's trademark barbeque lunches that are served daily in their in-house restaurant, which also features a complete menu.

"Our job goes far beyond fueling the aircraft, however," says Combs. "That's where we start. Our job is not finished until the pilot taxies away and we know that we took care of every single need that he or she had. Whether it was an empty tank, an empty coffee cup or an empty stomach, we make sure they leave satisfied."

Yuma International Airport is managed and operated by the Yuma County Airport Authority, Inc (YCAA). Under Arizona Statutes, an Arizona "Airport Authority" is an independent public agency and a non-profit organization. The Board of Directors' management allows the Airport to support civil aviation without any financial burden being placed on the taxpayers of Yuma County. The Authority is a self supporting entity that generates its entire budget through rental income and other fees paid by Airport users.

Million Air is a network of both franchised and corporate owned or managed FBOs in North America and the Caribbean and is headquartered in Houston, Texas. The first FBO was built in Addison, Texas (Dallas) and at the time, was the first luxury FBO in aviation history. The contemporary design and innovative thinking drew national attention so much that the network expanded across North America. Over the next 25 years, the Million Air name became iconic and was synonymous with service and luxury beyond providing the traditional services of an FBO.

Mr. Williams,

Jeff Keen of Boeing notified me this evening that the aircraft will land here about 5 pm tomorrow, and asked if we can reschedule the in brief for sometime on Friday.

I've relayed the info to Gladys.

In the meantime we're working on the book. Here's the part she asked me for help on.

You can see my note that I tried to keep it short/sweet.

Your review/revisions are most welcomed.

This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer

She wants to see how many people get her poem It is quite the poem. Please pass it on.

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in aNew York Hospital It was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids

On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain

Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down. Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

Do you run through each day

On the fly? When you ask How are you?

Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done

Do you lie in your bed

With the next hundred chores Running through your head?

You'd better slow down

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last. Ever told your child,

We'll do it tomorrow?

And in your haste,

Not see his

sorrow?

Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die

Cause you never had time

To call and say,"Hi"

You'd better slow down.

Don't dance so fast. Time is short.

The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere

You miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift....

Thrown away.

Life is not a race.

Do take it slower

Hear the music

Before the song is over. FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.

Dear All PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know - even to those you don't know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon leave this world due to cancer.

This young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will.

She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.

By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can at least send it to 5 or 6. It's

not even your money, just your time!

PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.

Bob, We are always looking at expanding our hanger area but have made the decision to do more commercial stuff at this time so we will have the cash to build hangers in the future. We have a waiting list but I believe it is just that. Rob Ingold

On 3/27/12 2:30 PM, Bob wrote: I appreciate the opportunity to attend the meeting today and to express my questions and concerns.

I think I heard an answer to my concern about the fuel truck situation--there are actually two 100LL trucks , but only one is "operable" or only one is being supported ??

One thing that I would like to suggest for future discussion and possible planning , is the availability for smaller hanger facilities for small businesses for such uses as an avionics shop, or other aviation support . Many of the shops that I have either visited or utilized are of the one to two plane size. Do we have any other plans for or such space available other than the "Martha Taylor area"?

This issue is heating up judging by the input I am receiving. There are some complaints concerning the NO PARKING/TOW AWAY signs on the south end of Bldg’s C & D.

Three Arizona Hospitals Recognized for Patient Safety

HealthGrades has released its fifth annual Patient Safety in American Hospitals Study which cites three Arizona hospitals as Distinguished Hospitals for Patient Safety. Those recognized are: o Mayo Clinic Hospital, Phoenix; o Yavapai Regional Medical Center, Prescott; and o Yuma Regional Medical Center. To identify these hospitals, HealthGrades researchers analyzed approximately 41 million Medicare patient records from nearly 5,000 hospitals. Facilities earning the Distinguished Hospitals for Patient Safety designation demonstrated patient safety records among the top 5 percent in the nation across 13 patient safety indicators. On average, these hospitals were found to have a 43 percent lower chance of experiencing one or more medical errors, compared to those hospitals which demonstrated the lowest ranking patient safety records.

Gen,

Unfortunately we cannot exceed the 300 tickets. When the YIA offers 600 chalet tickets to prominent community members and local business owners it significantly detracts from our sponsorship potential. In some cases the chalet access is one of the main reasons why many of our sponsors choose to sponsor.

We can accommodate the 300 tickets as we did last year but we cannot exceed this number. I hope you can understand how doing so can negatively impact our sponsorship results.

Gen,

It was great to see you again today. Here’s a quick email to sum up our meeting today. When I return from my holiday leave I will put together an agreement and send it your way. o Yuma International Airport is committing to their annual $20,000 sponsorship (Thank you). o We will find away to delineate you from the Presenting Sponsors and categorize both Yuma International Airport & Million Air as our “Aviation Partners”. I intend to have a few ideas to present to you in the beginning of the new year, before I draw up the agreement. o We can absolutely position Million Air’s chalet next to Y.I.A.’s Chalet. o We will ensure that your 300 Chalet tickets are printed and delivered on or before March 7th. o Roger is putting together some figures for you regarding our air show overhead. We unfortunately cannot promise anything until January when our MCI West attorney returns from holiday leave, he will be able to determine how much information we are able to divulge.

Have a wonderful couple of weeks with your family!

Fw: 2011 Yuma Air Show Gen Grosse to: Craig Williams 12/21/2010 03:26 PM

Mr. Williams,

I candidly addressed the topics you brought up with Jen this afternoon. She was very receptive to everything you brought up (see below).

I asked Andrea how many chalet tickets she thought we'd need - she said 300, which is what I asked for.

Some of my notes from the meeting were:

This will be a military themed event, MAGFT to be the main act, jet car, mini wall of fire at end of another act - and Mr. McShane is working on several other acts who don't confirm till the end of Jan.

MCAS is going to do their program this year - not farming it out. Told her we want to advertise with them. Capt. Staci Reidinger will contact us when she's ready. Asked her if they were going to including a program ad in the sponsorship package, which she believes they'll do next year.

MCAS deciding whether or not to continue with Desert Warrior newspaper - too many copies being thrown away.

Jen has meeting with Manny of Million Air on Jan 5th to discuss their sponsorship. Million Air is going to provide the fuel this year, MCAS will trade 'Presenting Sponsorship' so they'll have a chalet, etc. I think having our chalet next to theirs is a good idea/

Asked how many agencies were 'Presenting Sponsors' last year - she said 6. Overall sponsorship last year was $300k.

Asked about acts, specifically Blue Angels - she said they're working hard to get them next year, even had Col. Worth call them. Apparently Blue Angels signed a contract with El Centro where one line of the contract states that they can't perform in the 'same market' as El Centro. Yuma apparently is in the same market. She assured me they're working on it hard and hope to have them for 2012.

Lt. Col. Carroll is the new MCCS Executive Director, replacing the guy who's been coordinating the airshow for 17 years. Jen said they're really looking forward to new ideas.

I gave her one of our DCC patches, showed her the DCC website, and gave her a tour of the MCC. She said it'd be great to promote both the DCC & MCC at the airshow. I'm thinking we could have 15 banners made for each and sprinkle them around - your thoughts?

Gen,

It was great to see you again today. Here’s a quick email to sum up our meeting today. When I return from my holiday leave I will put together an agreement and send it your way.

o Yuma International Airport is committing to their annual $20,000 sponsorship (Thank you). o We will find away to delineate you from the Presenting Sponsors and categorize both Yuma International Airport & Million Air as our “Aviation Partners”. I intend to have a few ideas to present to you in the beginning of the new year, before I draw up the agreement. o We can absolutely position Million Air’s chalet next to Y.I.A.’s Chalet. o We will ensure that your 300 Chalet tickets are printed and delivered on or before th March 7 . o Roger is putting together some figures for you regarding our air show overhead. We unfortunately cannot promise anything until January when our MCI West attorney returns from holiday leave, he will be able to determine how much information we are able to divulge.

Have a wonderful couple of weeks with your family!

Good Afternoon Mr. Flannery,

Thank you so much for your interest in housing your aircraft at Yuma International Airport. We have several options to choose from:

I have a contractor (Bill Sims, owner of Big Adventure Hangars) who has recently built a hangar complex adjacent to our South GA apron and consists of four hangars, (2) 60x60 and (2) 60x65. Each hangar has a 22' eave height with a door clearance of 18'. Each hangar has 220v single phase and there is access to a 50 amp outlet. Water and power is included. If this size hangar works for you, let me know and we'll work things out.

Our second option is that of the Love Hangar with Tweety Office Suite attached. The 8,800 SF Love Hangar is located adjacent to our South GA apron. The Love Hangar measures at 80' x 110' with a 20' eave height and hangar doors that allow for flow through with 76' clearance. The Tweety Office Suite measures at 720 SF and consists of two offices on either end with a nice sized conference room. This facility is available by contacting Manny Garibay of Million Air at 928-247-9571 or [email protected].

I will be your point of contact for badging and other information you'll need upon your arrival. We make things easy for you - so you can concentrate on the success of your mission.

I look forward to talking with you more soon!

Good Afternoon Gen,

Cookie Mitchell at the YUHSD was kind enough to forward your contact information.

Our company is looking at an opportunity with the U.S Armed Forces. The opportunity may require that we procure two rotary-wing assets for operations in Yuma for up to four months per year.

Rather than hangar the assets outside Yuma for the remaining eight months, we are researching options or hangar availability in Yuma for the entire contract duration.

Does the Airport, Defense Contractor Complex or Million Air have available hangar space? Are there new plans to expand hangar space?

We prefer utilizing Yuma resources especially if it will create full-time jobs and save the client money.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Andrea, Thank you for getting this scheduled. The agenda for the meeting will be to affirm that the best means of communication with the Airport concerning most issues is through Craig and/or his staff, or Mr. Ingold We wish, however, to explore opening up communication through means such as periodic public meetings other than than the regular Board meeting. This may include meeting in the Board Room, walk through of various airport facilities, information fairs (more on this later) and/or special events. These meeting will be much more of discussion and information collecting as compared to the more formal Board meeting. We will also discuss means by which our stakeholders may request that items be placed on the Board agenda (highly filtered and regulated through the Committee) and not be confused with the call to the public. When this idea was first brought up, the focus was on the GA community. Given our discussions at the last Board meeting we need to ensure as much as possible that we include all Airport users and or stakeholders (GA, Commercial Operations, Travelers, Military, etc) With the advise and consent of Mr. Ingold, I want to make sure that all agenda items for this first meeting are approved by me before making the public announcement.

Greg,

Thanks for the heads up. Just FYI, we currently have such a grant. The DOT gave me $400K to help convince another airline to start operations in Yuma. Very little of it has been spent.

Delta is my main target, but I'm also going after any likely contender, like United, who might open a route to Denver or Salt Lake. I also made a strong pitch to American, using the roll-out of the F-35, to add a direct line to the main Lockheed plant in Ft Worth. The problem is that at the moment, none of the airlines are interested. I spoke to my grant administrator a couple of weeks ago to get his advice. He said not to worry, he's seen this before. He said the airlines all know who has these grants and they will probably wait until next year, as my grant will expire on Dec 31, 2013. In the summer, when I'm starting to panic about losing the money, they'll start talking to me and use the deadline to extract concessions, but in the end, we'll be more likely to close a deal.

I appreciate the tip. I like the Ferguson Group. They've been helpful on the UAS program we're going after.

Dear Mr. Gresser,

They have stated that they will not work out of the GA terminal due to Franchise contract restrictions. I don't see that as a problem; they are not required to have a desk there; we just offer them the opportunity. Our Cost: We would have to arrange for the fuel tanks, no idea how much that would cost. Not too worried as they obviously believe they are going to sell a lot of fuel. I sent an email to Sean Elton of Lux Air stating that I might have a lead for the tanks and asking how much to sell or lease. He responded that he is checking on pricing. Keep in mind that we are essentially giving CareFlight a fuel farm as well. They are getting the 40,000 gallon fuel farm that Martha had for $1 a month for the first six months, then $500 a month after that. Pretty good deal for him. I don't feel bad about providing a fuel farm for Million Air if it gets them here.

Junior correctly observes that those guys must see an enormous opportunity at this base. They have come back with new offers after every single turn down.

Later, at 1:56 PM, I received another email from Mr. Corbett asking if you had supplied confirmation about his request. At 3:46 PM I responded to him, and copied you, and informed him that I had not received any confirmation from you and suggested that we place his topic on the agenda for the August 14, meeting of the full Board of Directors. He responded back that would be suitable.

I apologize for the confusion. But I want you to know that every step of the way I followed your wishes about keeping the committee agenda just as you wanted. At this moment the only thing on the committee agenda is your single topic, plus the normal "catch all" topic.

It appears that you have some general concerns about internal communications. I think it might be helpful if you and I could meet face to face and discuss this in more detail. Perhaps you could come to the Committee Meeting a little early, say around 3:00 PM, so we can chat. Would that work for you?

Greetings,

This meeting is supposed to be about how we communicate, not what we communicate. I am not particularly happy with the fact that Craig has added an agenda item without seeking permission from me. I thought that I was clear that there were be no items on this agenda without my prior approval.

Having said that . . .Bob what is so pressing about your issue that it needs to be on this agenda, which is supposed be about learning to communicate and getting input from the stakeholders on how that might be a more successful?

Sorry to be so short, but I continue to have difficulty in understanding we continue to have miscommunications within YCAA. larry

If he is not ready to review these new issues which you have highlighted however, we can put this on the Board Agenda meeting for August with no problem. Would you prefer to do that instead?

Good Afternoon Mr. Williams,

About 1:30 this afternoon, Mayor Krieger stopped in and expressed his interest in re-applying for a seat on our Board of Directors. He asked if he needed to fill out another application, is so, could the application be sent to him via email. He presented his COY business card with the following email address on it: [email protected] - if you would, please respond.

Mayor Krieger also expressed interest in hangar development at the airport. I asked him to my office where we discussed the airport's procedure for interested developers, and that several teams have expressed interest. Mayor Krieger asked for the contact information for the developers brought in by local contractors. I declined to provide the information, and he understood. He then stated that he would like to be put on a list of vendors that provide steel buildings. I opened the excel spreadsheet below and inserted his company's information.

The spreadsheet is a compilation of contractors/architects/engineers who have expressed doing business on the airport. I provide it to anyone who is seeking to team with our local professionals for work at the airport. The spreadsheet is located in the following drive: W:\Contractor-Arch-Eng List

Mr. Gresser,

Here is Gen's draft of the Press Release. It's late Friday, but we'll send it tonight with your approval. We are also coordinating with Millioin Air. Feel Free to edit as you like and please let us know if this is okay with you.

======

Yuma, Arizona: The Yuma County Airport Authority approved a lease today that will bring the "Million Air" franchise to Yuma International Airport. "We believe Million Air is the Ritz Carlton in world of Aviation Services," said Scott Freeman, Chief Executive Officer of Million Air, Freeman Holdings, LLC, the largest Million Air franchisee.

"Million Air is the most recognized name brand in one of the worlds most dynamic industries," said Bill Gresser, President of the Yuma County Airport Authority. Whether you're flying a Cessna or a multi-million dollar supersonic aircraft you are going to be treated like you are a millionaire at Yuma International Airport.

The new agreement will see the Million Air logo in a new facility between the NASA Hangar and the proposed Federal Express site on 40th street between Arizona and the 4th Avenue extension. "This location within the Defense Contractor Complex enables them to focus on one of their most important customers, military pilots flying military aircraft," said Grosse. "Having Million Air at the airport fits perfectly with the Airport's goal of adding value to our growing defense industry in Yuma County. This is an exciting development for the entire airfield."

Million Air currently delivers general aviation services through a chain of separate franchises strategically located across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. Million Air Interlink, Inc. owns the Million Air name and franchising rights.

I've been involved with tax-exempt financing for hospitals and airports since 1983 as either the Lender, CFO of the Borrower, Board Member of the Borrower, Financial Advisor to the Lender, or Financial Advisor to the Borrower. I've been involved in all of YCAA's financings since 1991. As such, I have a working knowledge of YCAA and lenders (both large and small) that few others possess.

To capitalize on my background, I've recently formed Airport Financial Advisors, LLC. AFA's business is to assist airports with their tax-exempt financings to obtain attractive financing structures, terms, interest rates, and covenants in the current economy. The economy today is significantly different for all borrowers and all lenders than it was in July of 2008 when YCAA financed the $5,400,000 and $1,000,000 with 1st Bank Yuma.

If AFA is engaged by Yuma County Airport Authority, Inc. as Financial Advisor on YCAA's financing, AFA's fees will be the following:

.375% (three-eighths of one percent) of the approved issuance(s) amount(s) for the new projects, as well as modifications or refinancing of existing financings if the financing is fully funded, or led by 1st Bank Yuma; or

.625% (five-eighths of one percent) of the approved issuance(s) amount(s) for the new projects, as well as modifications or refinancing of existing financings if the financing is fully funded, or led by someone other than 1st Bank Yuma.

The two-tier pricing takes into consideration the different efforts, amounts of work, and time required in order to structure and complete a financing that all parties view acceptably.

The contract (letter agreement) would call for $5,000 of the fee to be paid at contract signing with the balance payable at closing. Travel expenses, if any, are payable upon billing.

Hi Craig,

We received your request and supporting documentation for funding an airport development project at Rolle Airfield.

On June 17, 2011, the State Transportation Board (STB) approved funding for FY2012 for projects listed in ADOT's Five-Year Airport Capital Improvement Program. Included in the program was a $250,000 project to rehabilitate Runway 17/35 at Rolle with the State paying 90% or $237,500 and Yuma County Airport Authority (YCAA) paying $12,500.

Due to the uncertainty of State funding, YCAA sought funds and received a grant for $285,000 from the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) for several high priority projects at the Rolle Airfield. These funds allowed the YCAA to complete the design for the Runway 17/35 rehabilitation.

Based on your letter, supporting documents, and discussions with ADOT, we will be offering the YCAA a construction only grant for the Runway 17/35 rehabilitation in the amount of $237,500. An official grant offer letter and agreement will be sent to you in the next several weeks.

Thank you for your continued efforts to improve the Rolle Airfield and the State airport system.

From: DEAN HAGER To: Craig Williams , Cc: Rob Ingold Date: 08/16/2012 09:26 AM Subject: Southern AZ ACA Good day, Craig...

I appreciate your efforts in assisting my efforts to get up to speed regarding Secretary / Executive Committee obligations and responsibilities. I look forward to it's next scheduled meeting and working out solutions to issues facing the YCAA.

Item: In looking over the AZ ACA website, I perused their associated member listing. Their Southern AZ region appears to be uniquely all Tucson. This goes a long way in explaining why the Phoenix Metro area-centric ACA historically ignores Yuma... it appears we are not yet a player.

Question: Why isn't Julie's group, YCAA, AWC and other regional MBE advocates not participating like the Tucson folks... There very well may be good reasons to not participating, however it is not clear why this would be so. If we do not network with the big boys, how are we to grow?

So, if we (Yuma) are not represented on the ACA, I have a proposal: As part of the yuma UAS initiative, I would propose the YCAA (Gen?) request Julie to host a group meeting of the above to discuss the best way for a Yuma consortium to join the ACA. If this gets any traction, it would be worth our Boards time for discussion, with Mr. Ingold's concurrence. Again, if Yuma is already represented, forgive my tirade.

Regards, Dean

POV Committee Notes Gen Grosse to: Andrea Lopez, Craig Williams 01/31/2012 02:52 PM

Here's the notes I took, they are located in the M&M database:

Albert Gardner called the meeting to order at 12:00.

Albert began the meeting by stating that the purpose of the meeting was to search for a solution, we can't go back to 1950 where everybody had unrestricted access to the airport. We need to align ourselves to achieve satisfaction and we need to change as conditions change. Albert then stated that the public is welcome to comment at any time during the meeting.

Mr. Williams explained the proposal to MCAS for Arm Bar Limits allows tenant vehicle access defined as service vehicles delivering items in excess of 50 lbs or staying longer than 24 hours. MCAS countered the proposal by requiring PIN numbers to access the GA entry gates, criminal background checks and vehicle markings such as a decal which can be placed on the vehicle on an area yet to be determined. YCAA will assume the cost of decals and background checks for the first 12 months, but may consider passing the costs on to users after 2013.

Chris Alberti asked how often the criminal checks will be required. Mark Workman responded once. Chris then asked what happens when the decal is damaged, Mr. Williams responded that the decal color will change on a bi-annual basis, more or less frequent as necessary.

Jeanine asked what will exclude an applicant from receiving a badge. Mark responded a serious offense as noted on the background check. Mr. Williams said it's pretty cut and dry.

Rob Ingold asked if YCAA can use the same background check requirements that MCAS uses - nothing more. Mr. Williams responded that YCAA also needs to comply with TSA regulations, but will not exceed MCAS requirements.

Ron Rhodes stated that when he gets his medical exam, his signature represents that he swears he is good. Mr. Williams said ok.

Chris asked for clarification that YCAA will pass the cost of background checks/decals to the user in 2013. Mr. Williams said that a stack of decals costs about $500, which is a small amount, however each background check costs $50, which YCAA may seek reimbursement for in 2013.

Tom Trotter asked if the proposal to allow vehicle access to tenants only, or for all general aviation. Albert responded that it is applicable to T-shade/T-hangar tenants only.

Tom asked what set the yellow lines in stone. Albert explained the process of negotiations with MCAS over the last six months which has resulted in their acceptance of the double yellow line as a point of no crossing - which may be lost if offended.

Tom asked if tie down pilots will be allowed vehicle access. Albert explained the self-service ramp has plenty of room, construction is underway to create ample parking and will also include a turnstile large enough to get most anything through.

Tom then asked if restrooms are available on the self-service ramp, or will CareFlight allow access to their restrooms. Albert explained that there are restroom facilities within the pilot's lounge at the end of Hangar C.

Tom asked why Million Air's personal vehicles have access to the flightline. James Combs explained that Million Air's vehicles are deemed service vehicles by MCAS standards and are equipped with proper lights and radios.

Tom stated that handicapped persons should not be allowed special vehicle access. Albert stated that handicap persons will be allowed vehicle access upon passing the background check and getting the decal.

Chris Alberti told Tom that if Tom were handicapped, Chris would fight for his right for vehicle access. Chris said that the rule is if you aren't a tenant, you won't be granted vehicles access - which he said he doesn't believe in.

Mr. Williams clarified that the definition isn't whether vehicle access is granted to a paying tenant, it's a matter of geography and security. He said that they had to classify the hangar driveway so people can still get to their aircraft. He showed a presentation and discussed the airport's future goals to build out the soon-to-be-vacant CBP area where the options are limitless - additional ramp space for tie-down pilots with vehicle parking, additional hangars, etc. YCAA just doesn't have the money to do everything this year.

Albert said that the self-service ramp is very accessible. Tom said that after a four hour flight, a restroom is the first thing he's looking for - the pilot's lounge is far away. Chris explained exactly where the pilot's lounge restrooms were and that it takes a mere 3 minutes to walk.

Tom said that the apron was constructed with federal funds and everyone should have equal access. Albert said that the comment was off topic.

James said that the sticker idea is good, however some states have regulations about items placed on the windshield, and suggested YCAA research it.

James also said that he's been approached by several persons who asked if the golf cart gate near the Million Air facility could be widened for vehicles and draw yellow lines from Million Air across to the Love Hangar. Mr. Williams said that while it's a good idea to YCAA, it's not a good idea to MCAS. Mark asked Lt. Col. Carroll if there would be any wiggle room to consider the suggestion. Lt. Col. Carroll said that they have sent YCAA's request/proposal to HQMC security for consideration. While there may be wiggle room, YCAA's access proposal could be denied in its entirety. Dean Hager asked what HQMC's anticipated response time would be, to which Lt. Col. Carroll said that they received it last Monday and should have a response by the end of the month.

Ron asked Lt. Col. Carroll if HQMC would entertain MCAS as a threat. And what we and the Yuma community considered MCAS and it's training as a threat, and stopped amicable relationships and allowing training to be conducted at federally funded schools? Dean asked Ron to use extreme caution and to not include the committee as part of Ron's 'we'. Ron asked Dean if he wanted him to leave. Mr. Williams interjected by telling Ron that his comment was phrased as an antagonism. He explained that alot has been accomplished since MCAS' initial requirement to the proposal on the table today. This is a result of two organizations working hard to achieve a positive result for the benefit of all. Mr. Williams went on to say that some people may not be happy, but come in and talk with him, explain the issue so a solution can be worked out. Ron said that it's YCAA's duty to protect the community. Mr. Williams said that the two organizations as being the civilian and military component and that much of Ron's input has helped get through these issues, and the committee is doing everything they can.

Ron said he doesn't like the threat of take away. Mr. Williams said there will always be that possibility, but we work on these kinds of issues every day.

Albert said that once CBP moves, we can start planning with what to do with the area. Ron asked when CBP will move. Mr. Williams said possibly mid April but YCAA doesn't have money for a ramp right now, but encouraged Ron to continue bringing up issues so that they can be discussed and resolved.

Rob said that luckily MCAS foots the bill for runway maintenance and that the primary source of revenue YCAA generates is from hangars, car rentals and fuel sales. If the world changed and there were no MCAS, Yuma would have a severe lack of revenue - we need an amicable relationship. Rob asked Rob and Tom to give YCAA a chance to try to make things work, citing that Mark and Mr. Williams work it every day.

Mr. Williams asked Ron if there was another underlying issue. Ron said that the edge is still here, he doesn't like not knowing MCAS' answer.

Tom said that we're back to the drawing line - as not being in compliance with the FAA to make the apron available to all generation aviation.

Jeanine asked what the vehicle policy is for DCC tenants such as Boeing, and would YCAA impose the background check fee to them. Mr. Williams explained the current vehicle/flightline access policy for DCC tenants, that they're vehicles are considered service vehicles, the drivers go through the same background checks.

Ken Scott asked again why not put a fence from Million Air to the Love Hangar. Albert explained that the POV committee considered several options, once including the fence. However it was determined the fence option was too costly and also limits the usefulness of the apron for all users.

Bob Corbett asked if the FBO would be required to undergo background checks and mentioned that the SENTRI program was very strict and identified even misdemeanors. If YCAA were to use that method, they'd have to do additional vetting. Mr. Williams said he'll take that into consideration.

Albert asked if the POV committee was ready to take the proposal for POV access to the Board of Directors. Tom asked if t-shade tenants can pull their vehicles under the shade to unload or for 24 hrs. Chris said that alot of people are walking now. Tom said that people are still driving. Chris said that eventually those offenders will be kicked off and all the pilots will be talking about it.

Larry Gould said that the POV committee has come to a good arrangement, let's put it to rest. Not everyone can be satisfied but the committee has done its best to satisfy most while protecting MCAS from potential threats.

Jeanine addressed Ron and Tom directly and asked if they had any other issues they wanted to bring up. Tom said that he is not a hangar/shade tenant but still wants to be able to haul his tools and wash kit to his aircraft. Rob said that the problem has been solved for paying tenants, but feels the deal still takes away rights and works fine for people paying money. Albert said that YCAA will work to extend the offer to all pilots in time when money is available and will be happy to discuss his future concerns. Mr. WIlliams concurred that these issues are his top priority.

Ken said that the committee has reached the best of both worlds and the Board of Directors have worked hard. Rob responded that we have no control over change.

Albert asked if the members were ready to recommend approval to the Board. Chris and Larry said yes, while Dean said no - he wants to hear back from MCAS. Rob and Mr. Williams suggested keeping an optimistic frame of mind. Dean agreed and voted yes.

James asked the committee to add T-shades to section 2, he likes the stickers but feels it important to research state regulations. Mr. Williams asked the committee they're feeling about a bumper sticker. A resounding NO was the answer.

Larry said that there was significant input from the community on this topic. Albert said that you may find 99% agree but that 1% should damage the relationship. We don't have the ability to address all concerns.

Mark asked Ron and Tom to give either Operations or Million Air a call when they need to bring in materials. Tom said he would call if everyone is treated the same, which is not the case, since the sign on the fence says tenant. Mark said that he's offering the olive branch.

Albert ended the meeting at 1:50 pm.

Thanks for forwarding.

I called Jim Turner who said he is beginning his pre-trip planning for 6 visits this year. (3) for the 787 and (3) for the 747-8. It's still early but he believes they will come at the last part of May for one test, three tests in June, one in July, and one in August. I told him WTI dates are now April 5 thru May 22. He said he believes their testing will primarily consist of hot weather testing and not do much flying.

His primary question of Craig was regarding badging, if the procedures are the same as they were then. They came about a year and a half ago and badged most of the people, and a couple of people took the driver's course. He said they used the VAL apron, parked most of the rental cars outside the gate with a few rentals inside the gate. He wanted to know if they needed to have their photo taken and put on the airport badge, or if they could have an access badge and just use their Boeing badge with their picture on it - apparently that's how they did it the last time. I told him I'd check.

I let him know that the badge application and driver's course is online, and he could submit a spreadsheet with names and application - like we did for NASA. He asked that they not submit SSN's on the application, which I didn't see as a problem, they can provide that info when their crews get their badges.

I told him that we will have 2 mobiles with wireless internet available by their May visit. Mr. Williams - are we going to charge for that? I told him it would be inexpensive (might as well get some $). As soon as Lynn is done with everything, we can work on pricing.

He said he's talked with Joe, but that Joe hasn't given him a list of equipment that he has. They primarily need a tug. I mentioned that if he were to send a list of required equipment to Joe prior to their arrival that Joe would ensure he had it. Jim mentioned that in the past, Martha would borrow equipment from MCAS, I told him while we have an excellent relationship with them, we try very hard to be self supporting, and we are confident that Joe will take good care of them.

I also mentioned Million Air's interest in operating here. He had heard the 'rumor' that they are coming here since they (Boeing) operate out of Moses Lake quite a bit. He said they absolutely LOVE Million Air, and wish Million Air was already open while they're doing their testing here this year...

Jim will send me an email with more details as time draws nearer.

Just wanted to touch base with you about some upcoming trips to Yuma. It appears that we have several trips planned in 2010, and I wanted to check and see if there are new security measures in place.

I understand that Bet-Ko has been bought out, so any information you can provide will be appreciated.

Hi Jimmy (and Jimmy),

Very good to hear from you - but sorry to hear about your hip - ouch... Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Congratulations on your success in having two 787s flying! The maiden flight looked perfect.

Simply give me a call when you have more information and we can work out the details of what you'll need from us for a successful mission. We're really pretty flexible.

I do have a Nimrod aircraft scheduled to arrive in June for 3 weeks - they plan to occupy a portion of our West Visiting Aircraft Line, off of our Taxiway H, and will utilize two mobile offices adjacent to that apron. Should you find your mission is during that same timeframe, we have plenty of new heavy concrete apron (rated for 980,000 lb) should you need to park, immediately off of Taxiway F.

CareFlight is still our only FBO. I spoke with their station manager, Joe Gamez, a few days ago and he said he is ready to provide whatever service is required for you to accomplish your goals here.

Thanks for the update and I look forward to talking more in the near future.

Gen, Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Our holidays were great for most; I had a mishap the day after Christmas. I fell out of my trailer and broke my hip. So I am in the recuperating mode.

As far as our trips; the good news is that we have 2 of our 787 test airplanes flying. They haven’t put together a definite test plan for when they are coming to Yuma. I believe it is airplane #2 that will be the first one there. As soon as we get more information we will be in contact with you.

The 747-8 and 747-400 that was talking about coming there in March/April time frame has been delayed. Again we don’t have any good schedules for that one either.

Jimmy Turner who works in my group will be in contact with you in the near future to talk about parking, security, and various other topics. He will also be in contact with the FBO Flight Care. As I remember Craig told me that they were the only ones. By any chance have you had any others move in?

I have cc’d Jimmy on this email so you will have his email address.

Like I said before we will be getting with you as we get better schedules and requirements.

Belated Happy New Year!

I recall your mentioning that you'll bring the 747-8 and 747-400 in either March or April and that you may know a month in advance.

Gen,

Sounds good. However, we want LOTS of Chalet tickets. We hand out a lot of those and people come and go all day. Last year we had a lot of people, but it never seemed crowded; at least, not while I was there. But they about had a cow when I wanted more chalet tickets and I think we wound up printing our own.

Does Jen understand our concept? We're not contributing 20K to get advertising. We're contributing this much to help them out. I wonder if one of the reasons their sponsor program has grown so much is because we helped jumpstart it four years ago. I would be interested to see what their history of contributions has been. See if you can get the amount of annual contributions going back about ten years. Who is their largest contributor? I think it used to be us, but others may have surpassed us now. And by that I mean "cash" contributors. I'm wondering if they are starting to just take us for granted. Are we?

Where is the "Aviation Partner" contributing level? We've been minting coins with the "Aviation Partner" words for four years and I don't think those Airshow Marketing guys even know that.

Has anyone from the Airshow contacted Million Air (or Freeman) to get their money involved. Do we want our Chalet on the opposite side of Center from the Million Air Chalet or do we care?

Also, let's make sure we get all the VIP passes and chalet tickets in time for the March Board Meeting. Not the day before like last time.

Go for it.

Sir,

It's getting to be that time to work on the Airshow sponsorship. Jen sent the info below (which doesn't tell you much about the acts), and she's asked me to get together with her either this week or next to discuss a contract.

We've been at the presenting level, and the only changes I would make to Jen's package below is to ensure that we get (3) chalets w/60x15 footprint and 20 VIP parking passes.

Do you want to give the 40x40 display & 1 fenceline banner spot to GYEDC like we did last year?

I would like to take advantage of the (30) 3'x5' banner placement. I'd like to have some advertising the DCC... Your thoughts?

During my meeting with Jen, I will ask what company will produce the official program - as last year we paid AeroTech News $1795 for the back page of the Desert Warrior which wasn't the official program.

Albert Thank you for your chairmanship. I agree with your comments. I thought yesterday's meeting was, for the most part, very constructive and educational. As usual we had- as you point out- only a handful of users (GA) in attendance. However, I believe we have to bring the entire GA community 'up to speed' on the reality of the security situation, the solutions we have developed to date, and the implications of those solutions as we currently see them. To that end, I would like to develop with you and Craig a brief, written, summary of the "POV's Inside the Perimeter Fence" to be sent asap to all out tenants and other interested persons. I want the three of us to review this before it goes out. We can decide later who should sign this notice, you or me? Or both? Bill On Fri, Sep 30, 2011 at 8:43 AM, Albert Gardner wrote: Bill:

I believe the POV Committee has accomplished a great deal in the 2 meeting we have held with the public. The handful of users that have attended the meetings seem to accept the idea of a fence separating GA from MCAS. Craig did some excellent preliminary work on defining the idea and estimating some costs associated with it. At our next meeting (next week) I think we should start surveying our customers on the following :

1. What are their specific access requirements and needs.

2. What do they require if they do not have POV access.

3. How does their support of the fence change depending on cost, how we pay for it, user surcharges, user op out, etc.

At this point we need to know how many users require only rare POV access to their hangars or tie-downs, and how many need more frequent access and what kind of access they require. Also, once we present users with funding options we will have a better idea of the level of support for the fence. Since the fence would be a permanent fixture we also need to make sure all users are considering the disadvantages as well as the advantages.

We have not talked to MillionAir about the fence idea yet so I am going to do that ASAP. As you know the most cost-effective fence would also put their facility inside the fence which may concern them for various reasons.

I want to commend airport staff for their help and support so that we can develop a recommendation to the board by Dec. 1st .

Today I was talking with Martha Guzman, City of Yuma public affairs to schedule an interview with NASA for Dec 19th.

After the conversation Martha mentioned they're working on several press conferences - one being an unveiling for the renaming of 36th Street to Gillespie Way.

Martha said that Dave Nash has scheduled the event for Friday, December 11th (should be 16th) at 11 am at the intersection of Arizona Avenue & 36th Place.

Martha asked if YCAA would like to participate in the event, maybe have Mr. Gresser talk about the contributions Mr. Gillespie made to Yuma's aviation community (finding the City of Yuma plane and bringing it back to Yuma). She'd also like a quote for their press release.

I told her I thought it was a very nice tribute and that I'd check with you to see how we could help out.

Craig,

For clarification, in our conversation leading up to CSI switching ground services providers you indicated Yuma was not concerned about the fuel intake as fuel was between CSI and Millionair. So this was not something CSI guaranteed. It was simply discussed that we may use up to 1,200 gallons on average. Most of the time it is not operationally advantageous for us to take much fuel in NYL. Therefore CSI’s focus in NYL is ground services mainly.

We clearly understand, that when and if we need fuel, Millionair provides it regardless of who is handling our ground services. That is of no issue to us. We’re fine with using MillionAir when fuel is needed.

The issue again was ground handling services and the simple fact that we want to explore other providers as MillionAir costs are not reasonable for the services provided. You yourself concurred.

Nonetheless, we appreciate your efforts in attempting a solution and will utilize Millionair meantime.

Regards,

Marc

Marc,

I just reviewed your fuel purchase numbers for the week June 28 through July 1, and see that CSI purchased only 670 gallons rather than the 4,800 gallons necessary to meet the minimum 1,200 gallon average that was part of our agreement as we discussed in our earlier conference call.

I understand your operational requirements dictate that you purchase only a limited amount of fuel. Unfortunately, based on your proposal to us, our agreement with you was created on the condition that CSI purchase the specified minimum amount of fuel.

Since you are not able to meet that committment I find it necessary to cancel our agreement. By way of this email please consider our ground servicing agreement cancelled as of 12:00 PM July 5, 2011. Mr. Hinkle, our Chief Financial Officer, will provide you with a written confirmation/follow up letter via US Postal Service and a final bill/receipt for services rendered last week.

For your future ground service and all associated billing arragements please contact Mr. James Combs of Million Air directly at 928-247-9571. I know that they can provide you with the great service Yuma is known for.

My brain hurts right now, I have four done, will get the rest done on Monday in time for Tuesday's meeting.

Letter of Commitment

U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration Seattle Regional Office 915 Second Avenue, Room 1890 Seattle, WA 98174

Reference: CFDA: # 11.300 Opportunity #: EDA10142010EDAD

Attention: A. Leonard Smith, Regional Director

I wish to express my complete and full support of the Yuma County Airport Authority our efforts to receive funding from the U.S Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's Investments for Public Works and Economic Development Facilities to construct a new multi-tenant Aviation Industrial Center.

As the President of Yuma County Airport Authority Board of Directors, we have already invested $15 million dollars building the infrastructure of the Defense Contractor Complex since 2007. In addition to that, we have on our own, invested $2.2m to build a hangar in an effort to recruit defense contractors. This effort was successful in that we recruited Jacobs Engineering, who is the prime Research and Development contractor for NASA and engaged in NASA's next generation of spacecraft. The work developed in that hangar will have a direct impact on America's success in space for the next three decades.

Yuma County Airport Authority plays a vital role within the community, it will play a much larger role with the completion of the Aviation Industrial Center that will attract manufacturers and industries to the airport’s Defense Contractor Complex bringing with them high value jobs to our distressed region.

Yuma County Airport Authority is taking a proactive approach to the growth of the economic development in the Southern Arizona region through this application process, and we are committed to continue growth by building the Aviation Industrial Center. We invite EDA to share in this growth with a $3 million investment that we believe will generate 80 new jobs for this region.

Sincerely, Bill Gresser President Yuma County Airport Authority

Attention: A. Leonard Smith, Regional Director

I am a Board Member of the Yuma County Airport Authority and fully support the efforts put forward to receive funding from the U.S Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's Investments for Public Works and Economic Development Facilities to construct a new multi-tenant Aviation Industrial Center.

Over the last four years, Yuma County Airport Authority has invested over $17 million in building infrastructure and hangar facilities within the Defense Contractor Complex (DCC). Yuma County Airport Authority had a tremendous amount of success in building and leasing facilities to such aviation companies as NASA and Boeing.

Last year we partnered with Federal Express who is investing $2m to build a new express sorting facility and retail center which will meet FedEx needs to service our region for the next 20 years allowing them to expand their workforce as required.

Our work in the DCC also allowed us to partner with CBP, resulting in a $12 million investment in new aviation maintenance and operations center to support Homeland Security Border Operations in this region. The total investment by YCAA and its partners in the last four years is well over $27m.

Securing this grant will allow the Airport Authority to provide a center for completing the secure and technological based activities required by aviation contractors and will create jobs and economic development for Southwest Arizona.

Sincerely, Rob Ingold 1st Vice President Yuma County Airport Authority

Attention: A. Leonard Smith, Regional Director

As a board member of the Yuma County Airport Authority, I wish to express my full support of the efforts made to receive funding from the U.S Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's Investments for Public Works and Economic Development Facilities to construct a new multi-tenant Aviation Industrial Center.

Yuma’s community is heavily supported by two large military installations: the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG), one of the Department of Defense’s largest land holders and major military test range, and the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station, which is the Corps’ premier aviation training facility, and home to the Department of Defense’s newest generation of fighter jets, the F-35 B, Joint Strike Fighter.

As the importance of these installations increase, so does the ability to provide these contractors with facilities and services to meet their needs including maintenance hangars, ample ramp parking, and customizable hangar facilities for either long or short term lease.

Yuma County Airport Authority continues to set a new standard in supporting Defense and Government contractors by providing first-class logistics and hangar facilities. Funding from the EDA for the construction of the new multi-tenant Aviation Industrial Center will add to the significant value to these military installations and will bring high value jobs and economic development to the distressed Southwest Arizona region.

Your consideration in awarding this important grant to the Yuma County Airport Authority is greatly appreciated. Sincerely Yours,

Stanley Gourley Board Member Yuma County Airport Authority

I would like to express my complete support of the Yuma County Airport Authority and their efforts to receive funding from the U.S Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's Investments for Public Works and Economic Development Facilities to construct a new multi-tenant Aviation Industrial Center.

As a Board Member, I am proud that the Yuma County Airport Authority plays an essential role within the community through its continued success as an economic development driver through the construction and promotion of its Defense Contractor Complex which provides a wide range of facilities and support to defense contractors who need access to the U.S. Army’s Yuma Proving Ground for testing or those who support U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Yuma for aviation training or the development of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

Defense Contractors looking for a permanent presence will find that the Yuma community has home-grown talent who offer a wide range of defense-based expertise including engineering, servicing, and research and development – all on the cutting edge of defense technology.

The importance of funding for the Aviation Industrial Center means that we can continue our efforts to attract larger corporations who wish to establish a permanent presence in this region. I thank you for your sincere consideration in awarding funding for this very important project.

Sincerely Yours,

Gen Grosse Corporate Account Manager Yuma International Airport 2191 E. 32nd Street Yuma, AZ 85364

Gen,

Great idea. Lets talk strategy. Here is the release with a couple of changes.

Yuma, Arizona: The Yuma County Airport Authority has signed a 40-year $16M lease agreement with the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) Office of Air and Marine Division for the site of their anticipated Aviation Operations and Maintenance Center within the airport’s Defense Contractor Complex.

“Years of hard work went into making this lease a reality.” said Bill Gresser, President of the Yuma County Airport Authority, "and we are absolutely thrilled that it is a done deal." The Airport submitted an unsolicited proposal in 2007 to initiate the effort by highlighting the availability of land within the Airport's expansive Defense Contractor Complex. The new GSA lease includes 8.5 acres of land and includes the Roscoe Turner Building.

"The Air and Marine Division outgrew their current airport lease long ago," said Gen Grosse, the Airport Authority's Corporate Account Manager, referring to the existing lease between the Authority and CBP that started in 1999. Since then new aircraft and a larger work force have squeezed into that tiny space. The new lease is expected to host a modern aircraft maintenance center consisting of two new hangars and a separate aviation parts storage facility which will be housed in the renovated Roscoe Turner Building. The Aviation Center will also include a state-of-the-art aircrew operations center. “This allows them plenty of room to continue their air operations in the safest conditions, while allowing for expansion of maintenance and support facilities.”

"The Airport is breaking new ground in more ways than one," Grosse continued. To make the project happen, the airport agreed to sign on as the Project Manager to develop the Aviation Center. The Airport Authority accepted a contract to design the new facility, which will be based in large part on the hangar the airport built for NASA. That design work in turn, was sub-contracted to Nicklaus Engineering, a local full service engineering and architectural firm.

"This is what we do," said Gresser. "We find out what our aviation customers need and then we don't stop working on it until all their needs are met. That means jobs for the community which eventually results in more passengers and more enplanements."

“The new lease not only increases the value of the Defense Contractor Complex but also exemplifies the Airport Authority’s goal to continue providing support to government entities,” said Grosse.

The United States Customs and Border Protection Office of Air and Marine (CBP A&M) is the world’s largest aviation and maritime law enforcement organization. Their mission is to protect the borders of the United States and the American people. To accomplish this critical mission, the Air and Marine Division employs over 900 Federal Agents, fly more than 285 aircraft, and operate more than 200 maritime vessels.

Mr. Williams,

Last night after the Board meeting, Mr. Gresser asked that I prepare several press releases for review/launch upon receipt of signed contracts. These include:

CBP Lease Million Air Lease Solar Parking Contract

Last week we prepared the Million Air PR, so that is ready.

I've prepared the following for the CBP Lease. I kept it rather conservative, and didn't address the fact that CBP hired YCAA as GC for the design of the complex. I didn't know how that would sit with CBP, and if it would raise flags and cause problems for them... Let me know if you want the 'full story' and I'll modify:

======DRAFT======

Yuma, Arizona: The Yuma County Airport Authority has received a signed lease with Customs and Border Patrol Office of Air and Marine Division for 8.5 acres of land within the airport’s Defense Contractor Complex which will become the new site for their Aviation Maintenance Complex, reports Gen Grosse, Corporate Account Manager of the Airport Authority.

The United States Customs and Border Protection Office of Air and Marine (CBP A&M) is the world’s largest aviation and maritime law enforcement organization. Their mission is to protect the American people and Nation’s critical infrastructure through the coordinated use of integrated air and marine forces to detect, interdict and prevent acts of terrorism and the unlawful movement of people, illegal drugs and other contraband toward or across the borders of the United States.

“The Air and Marine and Division has been an airport tenant for many years and have been operating out of a small fenced in area at the airport. The safety of the pilots flying in and out of this small area has been cause of growing concerns by all parties for years.” said Grosse.

The Airport Authority began discussions with Customs and Border Patrol a few years ago about the availability of land within the expansive Defense Contractor Complex. This new GSA lease includes 8.5 acres of land and includes the Roscoe Turner Building. “This allows them plenty of room to continue their air operations in the safest conditions, while allowing for expansion of maintenance and support facilities.” Grosse continued.

To accomplish their mission, CBP A&M employs over 900 Federal Agents, and operates from 75 air and marine locations, utilizing more than 285 aircraft of 22 different types, and more than 200 maritime vessels.

Re: Solar Parking PR Craig Williams to: Gen Grosse 03/11/2010 12:36 AM

Gen,

Great stuff, Here are a couple of suggestions. ======Yuma, Arizona: "This fall, passengers at Yuma International Airport might notice an exciting new atmosphere as they walk into the terminal from the new sun-shaded parking lot. Almost electric, I'd say," announced Bill Gresser, President of the Yuma County Airport Authority. His comments don't stem from his admittedly optimistic view of the airport, but from a new contract between the Yuma County Airport Authority and Blue Renewable Energy (Blue RE), LLC, an Arizona based renewable energy holding company. The $4 million contract calls for shaded parking structures for the Airport Terminal's public parking lot. The sunshades are actually brand new solar panels that will provide all the electricity for the airport's passenger terminal for the next 20 years.

"The contract is part of the APS renewable energy program," said Gen Grosse, Corporate Account Manager of the Airport Authority. It includes a "Renewable Energy Credit" purchase agreement with APS and a simultaneous contract with Blue RE, who will arrange financing and oversight of the construction of the auto parking shade structure including the solar power system.

Blue RE’s proposed installation and maintenance team features an all Yuma team of vendors including Pilkington Construction Company for the steel structure installation, Mac Electric, Inc. who will be servicing the equipment throughout the life of the project, and Essco Wholesale Electric, who will provide the solar panels and other electrical components.

"This project was originally conceived as a way to simply provide covered parking for our customers," said Craig Williams, Airport Director. "We’ve all experienced the furnace blast when our vehicles sit in the Arizona sun; this is another way we try to make our customer’s travel experience to and from our airport just a little more comfortable." The photovoltaic solar panels will be mounted on elevated steel structure, and include hardware and software systems that track the sun's movement each day.

"The upward trend in energy costs is likely to continue and could easily double or triple over the next two decades," said Grosse. The new contract flattens the airport’s electric bill increases to no more than one percent a year, fixed, for the next 20 years. "The entire contract doesn't cost the airport or our passengers a penny," promised Grosse. "This is just what happens when you put the customer first."

"This project is an example of our commitment to environmental responsibility and our efforts to become a 'green' airport," said Gresser. "We are proud to bring a project to the community that not only provides renewable energy to the airport and shaded parking for our customers, but also provides our local contractors with new high-tech, long-term jobs." Gen Grosse/yumaairport

Gen Grosse/yumaairport 03/10/2010 03:38 PM To Craig Williams cc Subject Solar Parking PR

Mr. Williams,

Here's my draft of the Solar Parking PR

======

Yuma, Arizona: The Yuma County Airport Authority has concluded a contract with Blue Renewable Energy, LLC, a renewable energy holding company, to provide an auto parking shade structure supporting a solar power system. The solar power array will provide renewable energy to support the airport’s main terminal, said Gen Grosse, Corporate Account Manager of the Airport Authority.

“This project was originally conceived as a way to provide free covered parking for our customers”, said Craig Williams, Airport Director. “We’ve all experienced the furnace blast when our vehicles sit in the sun for long periods of time; this is just another way we try to make our customer’s travel experience to and from our airport a little more comfortable.”

Airport Staff obtained a Solar Renewable Energy Credit Purchase Agreement between the Yuma County Airport Authority and Arizona Public Service Company and began working with potential vendors in April of last year. The airport seriously considered entering into contracts with two separate vendors but they were ultimately unable to meet crucial deadlines, reported Grosse.

Blue RE proposed to provide a system that consists of photovoltaics modules which will be mounted on an elevated array, hardware racking system. Each of the panels will have a 180 degree azimuth and will track the sun east-to-west direction each day. Blue RE’s proposed installation and maintenance team for the airport’s project includes Lafferty Electric Technologies, Pilkington Commercial Company, Inc., Essco Wholesale Electric, and Mac Electric, Inc. who will be servicing the equipment throughout the life of the project.

Blue RE became involved in renewable energy projects through the Arizona State University Campus Solarization project. Since its inception, Blue RE, and its affiliated finance entities have secured over 1.6MW of Power Purchase Agreement contracts, involving over 27 separate structures at the Arizona State University, Tempe Campus. Blue RE’s projects are separately funded, owned, and operated, and are performed through arms-length contracts with local electrical contractors.

“Energy costs have increased measurably on an annual basis over the past several years. This trend is likely to continue and could essentially double or triple our energy costs over the next two decades.” said Grosse. “This contract flattens the airport’s electric bill (fixed 1% annual increases) for that entire period, and offers the potential to provide the same savings even beyond 20 years. This project is expected to produce nearly 90% of the terminal’s electricity consumption with a potential annual savings to the airport of over $10,000.”

“This project is an example of our commitment to environmental responsibility, as well as our efforts to become a 'green' airport." said Bill Gresser, President of the Airport Authority. “We are proud to bring a project to the community that not only provides renewable energy to the airport and shaded parking for our customers, but also provides our local contractors with new technological and long term jobs.”

Drone Details Released By FOIA Suit

In response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the FAA has released details about 125 certificates of authorization granted to 18 entities that are using drone aircraft. EFF says the thousands of pages of documents include "extensive details" about the specific drone models in use, where they fly, how frequently they fly, and how long they stay in the air. "There are still many unanswered questions about the privacy implications of drones," said EFF. The group posted all the certificates on its website and asked the "Internet community" to help them review the documents and advocate for more transparency in regard to the use of drones for public surveillance.

The 18 entities in the files include police departments, colleges and universities, several federal agencies, a city in Kansas, and a marine resource department in Mississippi. EFF said it filed the suit after the FAA failed to respond to an FOIA request filed more than a year ago. "There are still many unanswered questions about the privacy implications of drones," the EFF said. About two months ago, the FAA responded to another suit by EFF by releasing lists of the entities, both public and private, that have sought authorization to fly drones in the national airspace system. The EFF website also provides links to a site where readers can submit an online public-records request to find out more about drones in their vicinity. Drones currently in use operate under very limited conditions; however, the FAA is working on a plan to integrate the aircraft into the National Airspace System by 2015. Update on Million Air Craig Williams to: papasanaz, ringyjr 06/05/2010 09:03 AM Bcc: Junior Hinkle

Dear Mr. Gresser and Ingold,

This email is in confidence until the Strategy Committee meeting on Monday. (Please see the email below from me to Mr. Freeman.)

Late Friday afternoon I received a confidential phone call from Mr. Chris Freeman (senior). He had just concluded a business deal to purchase all CareFlight Yuma FBO operations from Dr. Blake Stamper for the price of $3.1M.

Mr. Freeman explained there are a few showstoppers on this deal.

1) Dr. Stamper wants to be released from his lease on the underground fuel tanks with no penalty.

Considerations: I have no problem with item one contingent upon a remediation of CareFlight's latest fuel spill in that area (it was not large and should be a minor issue). The airport can then arrange for removal and disposal of the underground tanks.

Related Consideration: The sale includes CareFlight's above ground fuel tanks (next to FedEx). We need to be sure that any transfer of ownership of CareFlight's fuel tanks includes repositioning those tanks to the DCC area to comply with NEPA storage requirements. I believe this is already in their plan.

2) Mr. Freeman wants the airport to sign a new contract that will prevent a small time operator from coming in here and competing. He would like us to use his contract that has been approved by the FAA in several states and he sees no reason we should not sign that new deal with him.

Consideration: We can look at this contract but I don't see how it adds value to the Airport. We already have a lease with Million Air. Our current lease was written to address concerns on both sides, is is very favorable for Mr. Freeman and has been approved by our attorney and our Board. Our current agreement with Million Air has strict entry-level requirements, plus our Two Tier fuel sales FBO restrictions provides Million Air ample protection of their DESC fueling contract.

3) Mr. Freeman feels that we should allow all corporate jets into the DCC so they can enjoy the wonderful facility he now intends to build. He also informed me that the military has no problem with this concept.

Consideration: If the military has no problem with a constant stream of civilian aircraft closing down the outboard runway while they back taxi in and out of the DCC, then that is great news. However, "Flight Safety" dictates that we prohibit such an operation until we get taxiway Y completed.

Conclusion: We must consider what the purchase of CareFlight means for GA. For several years, one of our focus areas has been to improve facilities for the general aviation community; for owners of single engine piston aircraft and for growers in their King Airs and Citation class aircraft. The idea behind the Yuma Pilot Center was to provide all of our GA pilots with a first class facility and we are less than 90 days away from achieving that dream.

However, the cost of the pilot center was significant and we arranged a lease with both CareFlight and Million Air that included $3,700 per month rent to pay the loan on the Yuma Pilot Center. Any agreement with Million Air must include that rent.

Keep in mind that Mr. Freeman has frequently stated his non-interest in the small aircraft general aviation community. We need to hold his feet to the fire to ensure that all Yuma pilots get superior service from whatever FBO is here.

----- Forwarded by Craig Williams/yumaairport on 06/05/2010 08:59 AM ----- Craig Williams/yumaairport 06/05/2010 08:52 AM To Scott Freeman cc Subject Yuma Airport

Scott and Chris,

Congratulations on the deal with CareFlight.

Here are a few items which the Board may want to discuss, all of which I think can be easily addressed.

1) Keep in mind that the civilian side of the airport is split geographically into two sections, GA and DCC. You and I have talked about this in the past. This is why that until Taxiway Y is completed it will be necessary to have two pilot centers; one in the GA area (the Yuma Pilot Center), for the corporate and recreational GA pilots, and another facility in the DCC, where you plan to build, for the big boys, such as Boeing, Lockheed, Omega, etc.

Our Yuma Pilot Center is under construction at this time. We borrowed the money for that facility and have a lease with both you and CareFlight that guarantees a rental income of $3,700 per month, which we need to make the loan payment. I believe our new Pilot Center will meet the Million Air standard to take care of the Corporate and other GA pilots, especially the large contingent of agri-business that we currently service. I want to be sure we're on the same page on this concept.

2) Any transfer of ownership of CareFlight's above ground fuel tanks must include moving those fuel tanks to the airport's fuel farm to comply with NEPA. I think I heard Mr. Chris say that was already part of his plan.

3) The airport currently has a self-service option for 100LL for GA pilots and the Board will want to see that capability remains.

4) Mr. Chris mentioned your desire to service corporate jets out of your new facility in the DCC. Our existing agreement with both Million Air and with MCAS Yuma is that until Taxiway Y is complete, we will not allow civilian GA aircraft into the DCC. The only exception would be an occasional national Million Air client in a G5 size aircraft. It is very important that we all understand this is a firm requirement as this is a safety matter. When we finish Taxiway Y, it will be possible to service corporate jets in either location.

I am sure there are other details but this will give you a starting point for the Strategy Committee meeting on Monday. =Craig=

A local delegation that paid a visit last week to Lockheed Martin in Texas to sell the company on the merits of locating some of its business in Yuma report they found a receptive audience. While nothing was decided, if some of that business does come Yuma’s way in the future as a result, the payoff has the potential to be a big boost to the area’s economy and job market. The trip is all part of a joint effort by the public and private sectors working together in an effort to create jobs, said City Administrator Greg Wilkinson. “We’re aggressively going out and working to bring jobs here. There are some potentially very large deals that would benefit the economy.” Some of the talks with Lockheed Martin centered around the F-35, the new joint strike fighter being made by Lockheed Martin. But the focus of the trip, according to airport officials, was to discuss the possible basing in Yuma of a new program if it is funded by Congress. A highlight of the visit was a visit to the plant where the first F-35s are rolling off the assembly line, participants said. Marine Corps Air Station Yuma is slated to be the first to receive the F-35 aircraft. The Yuma contingent for the Texas trip included Wilkinson and Mayor Al Krieger representing the city of Yuma who also spoke on behalf of Yuma County; Julie Engel and Greg LaVann from Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation; Ken Rosevear, Yuma County Chamber of Commerce executive director; and from Yuma International Airport, Gladys Wiggins, operations director, Gerald Hinkle, chief financial officer, and governing board member Ron Rice. The airport personnel provided a presentation to key members of the program development team expressing the availability of land ready for development within the Defense Contractor Complex, an area that already has military specified security in place, noted Gen Grosse, airport spokeswoman. In addition, she said, “Lockheed’s program is compatible and fits within the airport’s master plan, we have financing in place to construct the facilities for them, and most importantly the fact that as an independent public agency, YCAA’s board of directors offers a quick decision making process for contracts.” Rosevear noted that “the entire group came away feeling really good about the interaction we had and the way we were received. I think they were impressed with the information they were given and the opportunities for some of their projects to potentially locate here.” His fellow travelers agreed. The cooperative nature of the delegation in itself “was not lost in the discussion,” Wilkinson observed. There was considerable interest in the willingness of Arizona Western College and Northern Arizona University Yuma to adapt to the workforce training needs of the business community, he said. That curriculum flexibility often isn’t found in other colleges, he added. Yuma’s weather is no small matter, either, to companies that have had to deal with such extremes as snowstorms and flooding, he said. Engel, president and CEO of GYEDC, said the contacts made with Lockheed Martin through the trip will be valuable for followup discussion for both work related to the F-35 and for other potential programs.

Re: Million Air-

"Million Air is the most recognized name brand in one of the world’s most dynamic industries," said Bill Gresser, President of the Yuma County Airport Authority. “Whether you're flying a Cessna or a multi-million dollar supersonic aircraft, you are going to be treated like you are a Millionaire at Yuma International Airport”. We are continually updating our services to the aviation community, civilian and military, and commercial. The addition of Million Air to our current FBO, Care Flight, is another step in that direction.

Mr. Freeman,

Essentially there are two impact fees. The first is a "Development Fee" and the second is a "Water/Sewer" impact fee.

We told them you were not planning on constructing a hangar at this time, but might incorporate one in the permanent facility.

The planner said that landscaping at the 40th St. entrance way will be required, and the number of parking spaces will be based on the amount of office space.

Modular buildings need to be approved by both the City and the State (the vendors are familiar with the process). They will require ADA accessibility, plumbing fixtures, plans for utilities and water. They will also need to have dual pane windows for sound attenuation, which will be required to be tested on site. No skylights. They said you should be careful when acquiring the building. In the past some people have inadvertantly purchased what turned out to be residential buildings. The building must be a Commercial Building and not Residential. One of them suggested GE Capital Buildings which are used by the school district. The building must be located at least 10 feet from the proposed property line.

It does not infuse itself into management. I am sending a copy of your email, and my response, to Mr. Williams to make him aware of your concerns. Bill Gresser

Bill,

I want to touch base with you in your position in the Airport Authority.

I applied for the Project Manager/Marketing position. Had a phone interview right after July 4th. Seemed to go well. Didn't hear anything so I called back last week to ask where things stood. Gabby, your HR person asked me if I'd gotten the letter...the position was filled two week earlier in mid-July. I had not received a letter and still have not.

I let it go a day then called back. I believe my qualifications merited an interview and asked if someone could contact me to say what was it I lacked. I left my email address. Gabby indicated the #2 director decided who should be interviewed with the "winner" picked from that pile. Wasn't Craig Williams but I don't know the other fellow's name.

Bill, I honestly do not understand why I wasn't selected for an interview and do not think it unreasonable for the decision maker to note what qualifications were had by the finalists.

Is this something you could bring up quietly? Or noisely? Otherwise I may send a letter to the Airport Authority as a board. I should have received a letter the process had ended. And I believe my request for a qualification comment is reasonable.

Craig I've spoken with Rob Ingold, Brian Cullen, and Ed Whitehead regarding the election of officers at the next meeting. All have agreed that Rob will move the current officers for reelection. Each of them has agreed to serve another term. I will then open the floor for additional nominations. I have not spoken with Albert, perhaps Andrea will? I told Ed that I would like to ask Mike Smith to chair the Finance Committee. Ed is very happy to give up that position, while keeping the office of Treasurer. Regarding the committees, I've made the following changes: I moved Stanley Gourley from Strategic Planning to Community and Government Relations; I moved Dean Hager from Personnel to Strategic Planning; I removed Brian Cullen, and added Pat Walz and Ron Rice to Personnel. As in the past, I will allow members to put themselves on or off a committee, pretty much at will. As we discussed, with the new members coming on board, I would like to provide the Board a simple spread sheet with our intended 2011 capital projects and costs as an addition to the financial report.. In addition, please distribute an Organizational Chart. It will give the new members a better idea of the depth and duties of the staff. I'd like you to inform the Board of the new positions you are creating, at that time. I showed your draft letter regarding impact fees to Rob Ingold. He agrees the City should understand the situation from our perspective, and thought that we could include the dollar amount of the fees as far as we can determine- perhaps with the help of a contractor. It would also be helpful to enlist Julie Engle and Ken Rosevear in this. Lastly, we agreed that it is in our best interests not to have 'surprises', and if there are matters that fall outside of the normal scope of business, you will bring them to my attention in a timely fashion. I will be in California from Friday morning until Monday morning, the 10th. I'll give you a call when I return.

Dear Sandi,

Yuma County Airport Authority's Board of Directors respectfully invites Mayor Krieger, Mr. Greg Wilkinson and the City Council to attend an award ceremony acknowledging the accomplishments achieved by Million Air for the sale of over four million gallons of fuel.

The ceremony will be held on Thursday, December 8th at 4:30 at the Million Air facility. Light refreshments will be served after the ceremony. Please RSVP via email to me as to their attendance.

Below is a press release with further details about the ceremony.

We look forward to seeing you there!

=Gen

======Start of Press Release======

"Our corporate motto is to treat everyone like a millionair," said CEO Scott Freeman. "We give world-class service to all of our aviation customers." The Million Air standard is to provide the same outstanding customer service to every single pilot; whether they fly a supersonic F-18 Navy jet fighter or a single engine Cessna.

"Our name brings them in the front door," said James Combs, the local station manager for Million Air. "But our service brings them back; over and over."

Local pilots take advantage of Million Air's trademark barbeque lunches that are served daily in their in-house restaurant, which also features a complete menu.

The Airport Authority included Million Air as a major factor when developing their long term strategy that concentrates on growing the airport as an economic engine for the Yuma community. "In the last five years we've seen investments in our industrial park total over twenty million dollars," Gresser confirmed. In 2012 the airport will start construction on a five million dollar aviation industrial center and rebuild and widen Taxiway Z for another two million. "Defense Contractors have to be able to count on quality service, on time, every time," explained Gen Grosse, the Airport's Corporate Account Manager. "Million Air provides that assurance." The result is a growing number of customers, both first time and repeat. The client list includes Boeing Aircraft, General Electric, and dozens of military and civilian organizations.

Craig I wouldn't mind having Col Werth come to the Board, and I don't want him to think he was 'disinvited'. However, there's no need to have him come to be a 'target' for G.A., since Col Workman has explained the MCAS position. That being said, he's always welcome.

"...to accept the final policy" which we will present to MCAS for comment. I don't think we should expect the situation to be settled this spring or summer. WPG ri, Feb 18, 2011 at 7:17 AM, Craig Williams wrote:

To confirm our conversation last night:

We are no longer going to have Colonel Werth come to the Board Meeting on March 8.

Instead, at the March Board Meeting, we'll review last night's Public Meeting as a committee meeting, brief it to the Board, with some initially recommended proposals, and seek guidance from the Board. The Board will likely instruct staff to host another Public Meeting and treat it as a working group to solicit agreement and/or alternative ideas/solutions to bring back to the Board in April to accept the final policy.

Is my understanding correct at this time?

I assured him that Joe will be fair during this time. He said that they will more than likely not use CareFlight for fueling should they find someone with same or better fuel prices.

Guy also asked if YCAA is interested in having another FBO, told him we will review any serious FBO proposal. Explained those serious will be required to construct a terminal and pay land lease under the building once it's constructed.

Guy,

As of this past Friday, Lux Air has ceased operations in Yuma.

The Yuma County Airport Authority has asked us to provide fueling services for Lux Air's customers in Yuma.

Give me a call at 928.344.9811 so we can arrange to provide fuel to Airevac 10 and all other Air Evac AC coming into Yuma.

During the hours of 6am to 730pm, my line staff will fuel Airevac 10 without incident.

After hours, we can arrange to have a dynamic in place comparable to what you had with Lux Air.

Mr. Gresser,

Nothing from Joe or Dr. Stamper. Although Joe pushes very hard during negotiations, once they're over, he generally buckles down to the task at hand. I don't think we'll hear anything more from him. But we will keep communications open to make sure nothing is festering.

We will wait on the press release.

Craig Finance Committee Mtg Minutes Gen Grosse to: Craig Williams 02/24/2011 04:10 PM

Sir,

'Brief' minutes listed below. Full minutes listed in M&M database - Finance Committee

------

The meeting began at 12:05

Those in attendance: Mike Smith, Pat Walz, Bill Gresser, Rob Ingold, Albert Gardner, Jeanine Rhea, Craig Williams, Junior Hinkle, Gladys Wiggins and Gen Grosse

Mike Smith opened the meeting stating that funding for the immediate year is locked in and this meeting was to plan/anticipate funding of projects for the future.

Mr. Williams recapped his visit with Brian Armstrong of the FAA, one outstanding issue remains - can YCAA spend FAA money on Navy property. Brian instructed his lawyers to respond to Mr. Williams' letter point by point in an effort to make that determination. With respect to YCAA's request for $11m for the DCC apron, the FAA doesn't have the money and that their main concern is to have all RSAT projects complete by 2015. That being said, YCAA's ACIP has changed, and the first project will be the widening of Taxiway Z, with taxiway lighting as a bid alternate. Mr. Williams recommended to submit the FAA grant for Taxiway Z and include the DCC Apron Phase 2, citing that if there is money available they may get it, but at least the project will remain as a top priority. The committee agreed.

Mr. Williams stated that Taxiway Z will be moved 15 feet to the right. Rob Ingold said that it didn't make sense. Mike said that if YCAA does something, we should do it right, not strange cut-out projects. Mr. Williams said that we can do it the right way, worst case scenario is that we pay the money back. Mike said that 20 years from now people will think 'who did this?'. Mike said that Taxiway Z needs to be lined up. Mr. Williams said that he would follow the project scope of work to widen the taxiway to 60 feet. Mr. Williams asked the committee for guidance based on their best judgement. Jeanine and Mike asked Mr. Williams do what is right.

Mr. Williams went on to discuss DCC Apron Phase 2 and that YCAA may have to fund the project on its own, building the costs into the tenant lease. He stated that we don't know what type of aircraft to expect - but building the apron for a C5 would be too expensive, while building it for a T-100 may not be enough. Rob said that we'd only have a C5 here once in awhile and wouldn't be here all the time, the chance of getting a T-100 would be greater than a C5. Mike said that the apron project could be pushed to 2013 rather than 2012. Mr. Williams agreed and further stated that YCAA has other requirements as well such as the terminal apron which already has had several patch jobs but can't go longer than 2 more years before it needs to be done. Jeanine asked if YCAA can do part of the DCC. Mr. Williams said yes, we could do $3m pieces and we can help lean on Congress to pass a multi-year grant. Jeanine asked if we do it ourselves, we can build as much as the customer needs. Rob asked if we finance the apron ourselves, can we be reimbursed by the grant? Mr. Williams said that he will need to work with Kimchi on it. Rob then said that if we do it, make sure we get the money back. Junior Hinkle stated that in the past, YCAA has received reimbursements for land acquisition and design costs, but have not done it for construction costs.

Mr. Williams explained that the new financing deal will stay the same for the $15m range which satisfies YCAA's needs. If we get a larger contract such as T-100, we may need larger institution, but current deal with 1st Bank Yuma/Foothills Bank and AZ Bank & Trust of Phoenix have expressed interest in the larger deal as well. Junior included that he is expecting an 'Expression of Interest" (Proposal) from the banks and will hold a conference call later in the day. Rob asked if the deal will require a bond counsel to which Mr. Williams said yes. Rob asked if we are replacing our existing debt with new debt, Mr. Williams said yes, $15m to be available upon our demand. Junior shared he expects the new loan terms to be identical to what they are now and that they are willing to do the deal regardless if YCAA secures the EDA grant. Rob asked if the interest rate increases, can YCAA change to a fixed rate? Junior responded no, but at the end of the 5 year block, we have a choice to make a change.

Mike asked if YCAA would have to do another bond, to which Mr. Williams responded that if the AIC is constructed in 2012 it would be done with a bond and by then we will know if the EDA awards a grant. Rob asked when will staff be ready to put the board members in front of the bankers. Junior responded in March. Rob asked when does staff plan to kick off the AIC design. Mr. Williams responded when the board and financing are done, need to involve the County and have a 30 day public comment - total of 90 days. Staff will have price and contracts ready by then.

Mike asked how comfortable is YCAA to build the AIC and manage that debt. Junior responded that the lease rent will be the same. Mr. Williams said that he will prepare calculations like he did for the NASA hangar to service debt and the amount of revenue added last year. Jeanine asked if the AIC will serve the same clientele. Mr. Williams responded that the range of clients is open. Bill said that YCAA has a general idea of who the tenants would be, and asked if staff considered advertising the development of the AIC to spur interest and have a tenant lined up upon completion of construction. Mr. Williams responded that once the board has made a decision then staff will begin to formally market the AIC. He said that the AIC should be designed in a flexible way to allow customization. Mike remarked to Build to Suit.

Jeanine asked when will YCAA get the $280k, to which Mr. Williams responded that we're waiting for the final grant to sign. He explained that this is a state grant and while it is done on a reimbursement basis, YCAA has $1m line of credit. Mr. Williams then explained the scope of work outlined for Rolle Field which includes adding paved access from the property boundary, security, single building, parking apron. He then said that he will request board permission to take $98k out of YCAA Capital Reserves to do the runway since asphalt pricing will sky-rocket very soon. Jeanine agreed and said to 'do it yesterday'.

Bill said the fiscal year ends in Sept. Local/PFC spending of $843k before September - does YCAA have all that money? Mr. Williams explained that only $98k and $56k would be out of pocket (plus $75k for to pave Somerton) $97,500 for fiber optic project and $26k will come from PFC funds, $490k for AIC will come from the bank. Junior said that there is $850k in Capital Reserves. Pat asked if the State grant funding is still there, Mr. Williams responded that the $280k grant is safe, as far as design/construction funding or the $26k - simply don't know. Bill asked when will YCAA start spending money on the 2012 projects. Mr. Williams responded in October 2011.

Rob asked if Chris Freeman can come to the April board meeting to report on how things are going with the military.

Rob asked the status of the revenue guarantee grant. Mr. Williams responded that he hasn't heard back from the Boyd Group, but will call them next week to check the status.

Mike said to move ahead with the AIP as presented. The meeting was adjourned at 1:31 pm.

Gen Grosse Corporate Account Manager Yuma International Airport 2191 E. 32nd Street Yuma, AZ 85364

Great.

A couple of very small changes

======Yuma, AZ: Yuma International Airport will host the first ‘Solar Enlightenment Event’ event on October 21, 2011 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on the second floor in the airport’s terminal as part of their new partnership with APS and Arizona Smart Power as a Solar Ambassador.

“The Solar Enlightenment Event is a one stop shop where the community can come in and talk with members from APS, Arizona Smart Power Solar Coach, solar installation companies, as well as meet people within our community who have already installed solar in their homes or businesses and hear their testimonials,” said Bill Gresser, Airport Board President. “This is a great opportunity for people to learn more about energy efficiency, the variety of renewable energy resources available, funding programs available, and how easy the process really can be. We’ve done it, and you can do it too.” Gresser continued.

Andrea Bereznek, Arizona Public Service (APS) spokeswoman explained that in 2009, APS invited Smart Power to participate in a renewable energy outreach program called the Arizona Solar Challenge, in an effort to help the utility meet its target goal of having 5 percent of owner-occupied homes in the state using renewable energy by 2015. “We are grateful for their support in helping us fulfill our mission.” Bereznek said.

Antonia “Toni” Bouchard, Arizona state director for Smart Power described Smart Power as the nation's leading nonprofit marketing firm dedicated to promoting clean energy and energy efficiency. She said they have successfully completed pilot projects in Flagstaff and the Sunnyslope area of Phoenix, and have extended the ‘Solar Challenge’ to other parts of Arizona, to include the City of Yuma and Yuma County. The Yuma City Council recently passed a resolution supporting APS’ goal of 5% solar on owner-occupied homes.

Bouchard believes Arizona has the potential to be the solar capital of the nation, and Yuma has the sunshine to lead the state, if not the nation, in solar power, she said. Therefore, Yuma is one of 11 communities in Arizona that Smart Power will be working with to boost residential solar installations through the Arizona Solar Challenge, she said.

“I think there's a lot of potential here,” Bouchard said, adding that she's encouraged by the fact that a solar system is being installed at Yuma City Hall, the Yuma International Airport recently completed their $4 million solar shade parking structure and Arizona Western College's major solar project will be complete in early October. There also are a number of businesses that have installed solar power.

“Now we want to encourage more residential,” Bouchard said. “It could create a mini industry here ... it could create jobs.”

Bouchard explained that “Arizona SmartPower’s research shows that while 85% of the American people say they prefer energy generated from sources such as wind and solar, less than 3% actually purchase it.” Bouchard further explained that there are four main barriers to people purchasing solar systems; people worry about the solar reliability, they don’t know where and how they can buy it or how affordable it is, and fourth, “it's just too confusing.”

That’s why the airport, as a Solar Ambassador, is hosting the first Solar Enlightenment Event. The event will guide you through the entire process from start to finish. Our Solar Coach can help you with everything – from understanding how solar works, to what to look for in a solar installer, to estimating your savings from solar.

People can also go online for more information at AZSmartPower.org or AZSolarChallenge.com. If you have already installed solar and would like to join a social network of people just like you – who care about solar power and want to encourage their friends and neighbors to do the same – come to the event and sign up to be a Solar Ambassador. ======

Albert I believe you will have another meeting of the Committee and I have some thoughts I'd like to pass along for your collective consideration. We have the only Shared Use facility in the country. The definitions that we and the Marines are using, "POV", etc. relate to a Joint Use facility. It seems all our deliberations revolve around preventing POV's inside the perimeter fence, while allowing access for "service vehicles". I would like you to consider changing the discussions to a more positive direction. Let me explain: 1. Any vehicle that is not owned by a branch of the Federal, State or local government is, by definition, a "Privately Owned Vehicle". That definition includes all the non-governmental aircraft, as well as cars, trucks, etc. 2. If there were "No POV's inside the perimeter fence", there could be no Commercial or General aviation. Therefore, there are exceptions. 3. There is no question that fuel trucks, construction vehicles, etc. (Million Air's golf carts and many more too numerous to list here) are allowed inside the fence under certain restrictions and conditions. 3. Everyone passing through our gates has a badge and has been cleared by security for access. 4. Every car, truck, etc. that passes through our gates does so to "service an aircraft", be it with passengers, cargo, equipment, etc. Therefore, If somehow we could redirect the discussion to indicate that "Only those vehicles, operated or escorted by (someone who has been cleared by security and has a badge.....whatever the wording here would be), used to service aircraft will be allowed inside the perimeter fence...... etc." I think this would give us and MCAS a way to restrict access while allowing aircraft on the civilian side to be serviced. If you think this has merit, I'd like to get together with you and Craig and explore it. Bill G. Re: Restaurant Problem Bill Gresser to: Craig Williams 02/25/2011 05:57 AM

Just in case you get a call from Mr. or Mrs. Brice Zeller:

This was a bad day for the restaurant. The manager (and brother-in-law of Mr Zeller), Mr. Bill Scheffeld, was extremely rude to several customers. This is a serious problem that we have tried to address in the past; but clearly unsuccessfully.

This afternoon I took Mr. Scheffeld's badge and keys and informed him that he can no longer work in the airport restaurant. I had one of Glady's Operations Officers escort him from the terminal.

Enclosed is my letter to Mr. Brice. I anticipate I will have an unpleasant meeting with Mrs Zeller in the morning.

Albert Lunch today? Bill G.

In our next meeting I was hoping to concentrate on the idea of “uncontrolled and unrestricted access” on the GA side and just quit talking about POV’s entirely. If we ‘control’ via stepped‐up background checks of users, authorize only certain vehicles and maybe sticker them and call them ‘authorized service vehicles’, and then restrict access to necessary uses (as you say, ‘whatever the wording’) I believe we can tell the Col. we no longer have uncontrolled and unrestricted access on the GA ramp. Problem solved. I really think we have come as far as our tenants will lend their support to. They will not support a total ban.

FYI, I am sure if we eliminate all access we will get pushback from our tenants that will cause us far more grief than MCAS ever could. And I think a lot of it will spill over onto them as a serious lessening of community support for the MCAS presence in Yuma. Our ag related tenants employ a very large number of Yumans and there is talk of stepped up letter‐writing, noise complaints, and general negativity toward MCAS from their employees. These guys are NOT happy and they don’t talk like they will just roll over and play dead. I would really hate to see something like that get started, who knows where it would end or how much damage to the Yuma/MCAS relationship it might do. For sure we don’t want any of our soldiers to feel unappreciated or blamed for command decisions.

I’d like to hit Craig up tomorrow if that is convenient for you. Let me know.

I was going to email Merry Maid's telephone number, but think he'll figure that out on his own. Or Kim will...

My thinking is that they leased the Love Hangar without factoring custodial services into the lease, and are now stuck with their proposed amount and will have to pay custodial out of pocket...

It appears that we are thinking along the same lines. I think the committee could present this idea to the board along with a recommendation that we collect info on how many tenants drive onto the ramp and whatever else we can do to demonstrate that the problem is either solved or reduced to an acceptable level. In other words, your #4 is what we should do. FYI, I am sure if we eliminate all access we will get pushback from our tenants that will cause us far more grief than MCAS ever could. And I think a lot of it will spill over onto them as a serious lessening of community support for the MCAS presence in Yuma. Our ag related tenants employ a very large number of Yumans and there is talk of stepped up letter-writing, noise complaints, and general negativity toward MCAS from their employees. These guys are NOT happy and they don’t talk like they will just roll over and play dead. I would really hate to see something like that get started, who knows where it would end or how much damage to the Yuma/MCAS relationship it might do. For sure we don’t want any of our soldiers to feel unappreciated or blamed for command decisions.

I’d like to hit Craig up tomorrow if that is convenient for you. Let me know.

that we and the Marines are using, "POV", etc. relate to a Joint Use facility. It seems all our deliberations revolve around preventing POV's inside the perimeter fence, while allowing access for "service vehicles". I would like you to consider changing the discussions to a more positive direction. Let me explain: 1. Any vehicle that is not owned by a branch of the Federal, State or local government is, by definition, a "Privately Owned Vehicle". That definition includes all the non-governmental aircraft, as well as cars, trucks, etc. 2. If there were "No POV's inside the perimeter fence", there could be no Commercial or General aviation. Therefore, there are exceptions. 3. There is no question that fuel trucks, construction vehicles, etc. (Million Air's golf carts and many more too numerous to list here) are allowed inside the fence under certain restrictions and conditions. 3. Everyone passing through our gates has a badge and has been cleared by security for access. 4. Every car, truck, etc. that passes through our gates does so to "service an aircraft", be it with passengers, cargo, equipment, etc. Therefore, If somehow we could redirect the discussion to indicate that "Only those vehicles, operated or escorted by (someone who has been cleared by security and has a badge.....whatever the wording here would be), used to service aircraft will be allowed inside the perimeter fence...... etc." I think this would give us and MCAS a way to restrict access while allowing aircraft on the civilian side to be serviced. If you think this has merit, I'd like to get together with you and Craig and explore it. Bill G. Re: Bill Gresser to: Craig Williams 09/20/2010 02:25 PM

The Fire Department and Southwest Gas responded quickly and the event quickly became a non-event. We saw really great professionalism by the Fire Department by the way; our thanks to them for their quick response and their handling of the matter.

Dear Strategy Committee Board Members,

Since Friday afternoon, I have had several phone calls with Mr. Freeman (senior). He has concluded a business deal to purchase all CareFlight Yuma FBO operations from Dr. Blake Stamper for the price of $3.1M.

NOTE: This is confidential information; CareFlight employees are not aware of this so please keep this confidential until our Strategy Committee meeting. Mr. Freeman will be joining us at the meeting.

Mr. Freeman and I have discussed some questions and some answers. Here is an update.

Question 1: Dr. Stamper wants to be released from his lease on the underground fuel tanks with no penalty.

Answer: Not a problem, contingent upon a remediation of CareFlight's latest fuel spill in that area (it was not large and should be a minor issue). The airport can then arrange for removal and disposal of the underground tanks. Related Consideration: Mr. Freeman agreed to our requirement to reposition CareFlight's above ground fuel tanks (next to FedEx) to the DCC area to comply with NEPA storage requirements.

Question 2: Mr. Freeman wants the airport to sign a new contract that will prevent a small time operator from coming in here and competing. He would like us to use his contract that has been approved by the FAA in several states.

Answer: Essentially, he wants a lease that stipulates that without "matching" the investment that he has made, another FBO cannot move into Yuma. This will effectively remove the possibility of having two FBO's on the airport. Keep in mind that we already have a lease with Million Air. Our current lease was written to address concerns on both sides. The lease is very favorable for Mr. Freeman and has been approved by our attorney and our Board. Our current agreement with Million Air has strict entry-level requirements, plus our Two Tier fuel sales FBO restrictions provides Million Air ample protection of their DESC fueling contract. Nevertheless, Mr. Freeman may be obstinate about adding that stipulation.

Question 3: As soon as Taxiway Y is completed, Mr. Freeman will want to turn the DCC into a transient GA area. He understands that for now GA aircraft must use the Yuma Pilot Center. He wants to talk about using that facility as a Million Air FBO on either a temporary or a permanent basis.

Answer: We must consider what the purchase of CareFlight means for GA. For several years, one of our focus areas has been to improve facilities for the general aviation community; for owners of single-engine piston aircraft and for growers in their King Airs and Citation class aircraft. The idea behind the Yuma Pilot Center was to provide all of our GA pilots with a first class facility and we are less than 90 days away from achieving that dream.

The cost of the pilot center was significant and we arranged a lease with both CareFlight and Million Air that included $3,700 per month rent to pay the loan that we used to create the Yuma Pilot Center. However, that rent was based on the concept that this would be a public facility and we did not have a profit consideration built into the pricing model.

Under this new Million Air only FBO concept, it essentially becomes a leased building to Million Air. This changes the concept and should change the price. Also, our original deal was to include $225,000 worth of fuel tanks. We should look at that as well. Junior will have some suggested pricing in time for the Committee meeting.

After we get his goals for 2008, we will need to review, revise, add or subtract from them and then agree with Craig, and the Board, that these are the things upon which he will be evaluated for 2008.

Frank Several open positions on the Board of the Airport will be filled in November. Could I take a few minutes of your time, perhaps over lunch, to discuss the Airport, our vision for the future, and the role of the Board? I am sure, if you were to be elected, you would find it a very interesting and rewarding use of your time and talents. Very briefly, we meet once a month at 4PM on the second Tuesday. You would also be on one or more committees who meet as needed, generally no more than 2 to 3 times per year. The term is for three years. It is an exciting time for the Airport with the arrival of the new F35 Strike Fighter, and the civilian support that will be necessary on "our side" of the field. This coming Wednesday the 6th, at 2:30, we will be meeting with Rep. Grijalva in the Board Room at the Airport to give him a briefing of our plans. I would love to have you attend to get a sense of what we envision for the future. This is an open meeting, as are all our meetings. If you can't make the Wednesday meeting, please give me a call at 920-9788.

Gen Grosse/yumaairport 11/03/2010 09:33 AM To Craig Williams cc Junior Hinkle/yumaairport@yumaairport Subject 10/13 Minutes w/Doug Pearson

Gentlemen,

Going thru my notes I see I hadn't uploaded the notes I took from the last meeting with Doug.

They are done now, in the M&M database.

Junior, not sure if you have that so I've put them below.

------

The meeting began at 12:00 pm

Those in attendance were Mr. Williams, Junior Hinkle, Gen Grosse and Doug Pearson of 1st Bank Yuma.

Junior began the meeting by talking about the new inquiries from defense contractors, and our need to build another hangar. Doug had attended the Board of Directors meeting the night before and was aware of the airport's plan to submit an EDA grant for $2m, and this meeting was to discuss financing $3m with 1st Bank Yuma.

Doug said that this request is similar to when YCAA requested money to build the NASA hangar. YCAA also has additional revenue from NASA & CBP, Federal Express, Million Air and from the lease of the Love Hangar, all of which is more than what YCAA had before the last loan. The process will be similar, just do a refinance with an extra $3m.

Mr. Williams explained that the new project will have 2 hangars with office space in between. He said that we need to clarify as to what requirements EDA has for the office/shop space, but that EDA wants multi-tenant facility - and we need to discuss this new concept with them - which we'll do once we have the consultants and funding in place. Doug said when he thinks Industrial Park, he thinks retail shops. Mr. Williams responded that according to the airport's grant assurances, anything built on our land must be aviation related. EDA stressed a multi-tenant facility.

Doug asked if we would get the EDA grant money all at once, during or after construction? If after, would have to consider another loan.

Junior asked if the EDA program is under the Dept of Commerce. Mr. Williams said that he didn't know.

Mr. Williams asked Doug what is needed from YCAA to finance the $3m. Doug responded that YCAA has a $1m line of credit not used yet. Mr. Williams said that he would like to use it, as ADOT now has grant $ which is the original reason YCAA did $1m line of credit through 1st Bank Yuma - he wanted that money available.

Doug said it make a difference in the participation from another bank. He has our quarterly statement but needs an updated budget and the powerpoint slideshow. He'd like more detail about the first Lockheed request. He'll call around and send the information out.

Mr. Williams assumes it'll take at least 6 months to get the grant, and expects feedback about the grant by March 2011.

Junior said that he is happy with the basic terms of the existing note, and would like to make another just like it. He said that he is ok with an early retirement penalty if YCAA pays it off within a year, but he doesn't want an early penalty if YCAA lands a large defense contractor contract.

Doug said that he can waive the penalty. He doesn't know if 1st Bank Yuma could finance a large project and would hand that off to another bank.

Mr. Williams asked Doug if the proposed Aviation Industrial Center is a project that 1st Bank Yuma can finance. Doug said yes, they are into it for $3.5m, but not $40-50m - they just don't have the experience.

Good Morning Mr. Wiseman,

I received your letter this week and thank you for your interest in establishing an FBO at Yuma International Airport.

Over the course of the past three months, the Airport Authority has been in conversions with another party who has expressed sincere interest in becoming an FBO here, Million Air. They have met with our Strategy Committe and asked for a lease agreement. The Strategy Committee made a recommendation to the Board of Directors to approve a lease agreement, which was signed by the Board President last Friday. We are waiting for the signed lease agreement from Million Air.

I will keep your letter of interest on file should the proposed development with Million Air fall through. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend,

Follow up to our call yesterday Bill Gresser to: Craig Williams 05/07/2010 10:08 AM

Craig - Thanks again for the time and thoughts yesterday. Here is a quick synopsis of what I had been considering. When we met about 2 weeks ago, you expressed the desire of the Board to acquire the property, but only if the acquisition has no negative impacts on the Airport's cash flow. Essentially, any costs to acquire the property would need to equal or exceed the revenue generated from the property. Just for simple discussion purposes, you showed the cash impact of our company selling the property to the Airport in return for a 30 year, fully amortizing note at 6%. As I said yesterday, could the Airport consider a long term, interest only (with interest payable tax free) note? That would alleviate the principle payments, and reduce the out of pocket cash required to acquire the property. At this stage, we are simply in the very conceptual discussion phases. I look forward to hearing back from you after your meetings with Mr. Ingold and other Board members. Thank you again for the time. Bill

Dear Mr. Ingold,

Mark and I met with the new CBP chief, Mr. Martin Miles (Marty), this morning and had a good conversation about moving his operation down to the DCC ramp and their new hangars. He seems like a straight up guy, and it should be great working with him.

They are having their grand opening on June 7 at 10:00 AM. However, they are trying to play this down as much as possible and Marty asked that we limit attendance to just you and me. Would you be able to attend the ceremony?

HA! I like the way you think Mr. Williams. People like to take shots at those who are successful. I suppose all of this is an indication that we’re moving in the right direction. Not sure what the previous operators were doing in regards to gallons but we’re on track to exceed 3.0MM gallons in the first year occupying our new facility and operating at full speed. I can assure you that it will only grow from here! We’re beginning to see some return on our efforts as we speak.

I love your idea and Freeman Holdings of Arizona, L.L.C would love to participate in a celebration of our combined (Airport Authorities and Freeman Holdings of Arizona, L.L.C.’s) successes at the Yuma International Airport thus far.

Scott,

Things are tough around here. We seem to be under siege from all directions: lawsuits, hostile web sites, incredible defamatory statements about you, me, my board members and our employees. Seems like there is only one appropriate course of action.

Time to party.

I would like to host a congratulatory press event in the Million Air Facility where the President of the Airport Authority presents Mr. Chris Freeman with a YCAA plaque thanking him for his service to the airport on the occasion of passing the milestone of having pumped 3.5 million (or whatever the number) gallons of fuel to our customers. I would like to make this an opportunity to get some positive media coverage on our collective achievements. It is also an appropriate statement of belief in you and Million Air.

I spoke with Mr. Gresser and have his approval to proceed on this matter. Would you be interested in such an occasion? Not pushing, just offering.

From: "Gary Magrino" To: "'Gen Grosse'" Date: 04/26/2012 12:12 PM Subject: Fly In

Hi Gen,

Years ago the Caballeros de Yuma wanted to sponsor a fly in to create economic opportunity, and community awareness. The thought was to bring in private aircraft and put on an event like Mid Night at the Oasis on a much smaller scale. Needless to say, the Airport management wasn’t aggressive, and the fixed base operator was very limited. After visiting with you on Tuesday, and visiting with James Combs yesterday, I think we could put together some type of a fly‐in (antique, Military, specific type, who knows) that would attract the general public, provide additional sales for Millionaire, and allow the Caballeros to promote Yuma. I talked to James and swore him to secrecy, and he thinks this is a good idea.

My next step is to unofficially run it by you and Craig. If this something that you or Craig don’t want to pursue, I will quietly put this in the round file never to be heard of again. If you would like me to pursue, I will contact the Caballeros on a quiet basis and see if they are interested. Since I am a Caballero, I can do this with no fan fare.

Please let me know what you think.

Thank you,

Gary

------Original Message ------Subject: Re: Yuma International Airport advertisement interest in Arizona Aviation Journal From: Kim Stevens To: Gen Grosse CC:

Gen, a pleasure to speak with you as well. Here are the dimensions for the eighth-of- a-page ad and quarter-page ad.

Ad dimensions

(all in inches)

1/8 page: 4w x 2.5h

1/4 page: 4w x 5.1h

Ideal format is a high resolution pdf, but a high res jpeg or tiff will be fine. High res is 300 dpi or greater.

I'm pretty flexible beginning Monday the 14th of November through Thanksgiving. Are there a few days in there that work well for you? I'm looking forward to the visit. You are correct, I'm pretty sure I can fill a few pages, in fact, I think it would be a great idea to devote around 10 pages and really do it up right!

Besides the article ideas you've already mentioned, be thinking of others as well.

The next issue will be out toward the end of next week, so I'll need the ad no later than Monday, November 7th. If you run the ad in this issue and the following issue as well, with the focus on Yuma, I'll give you both insertions for either (1X8 - $99) (1X4 - $189).

Thanks Gen.

Mr. Williams,

I'll be out most of next week, returning to Yuma late Wednesday night. I am available Thursday and most of Friday, if you want me to take her around to photograph buildings.

I don't know if the Civil Air Patrol facility is up, she could do the new CBP facility, and Toon Town needs to be fixed, as there's only two buildings up. I could also take her to Rolle and have her do that hangar.

With respect to the terrain, I know it's really helpful. The City didn't bite when we asked a few months ago, but our relationship with Greg Wilkinson has improved alot since then. Google stands to gain so much, and I'm wondering if Katya can get them to sweeten the pot, since the City's main hang-up was the amount of money they have invested... I don't know what/if, the County has anything to offer, or if they'd be willing. But I'm not comfortable putting her in front of either of them.

Hi Craig! First of all, I wanted to apologize for how long it took to get you those 3D models. Over the winter I developed some health problems, and they' really slowed me down, I haven't really been working. I'm in SF right now for medical things, but at least it all looks optimistic, and I should be much improved in 6 months or so. I'm still up and about, though, and am coming to Arizona, probably next week.

If you have more buildings for me to model, I'd love to come down and photograph them! I would like to use your buildings for my portfolio for my Google 3D Developer Certification.

Also, I haven't lost sight of the goal to get Yuma's GE terrain improved. It would make such a huge difference if that was done before the Building Maker imagery was. Once the buildings are done, it's such a pain to re-landscape. Its better to excavate and prepare the ground first, metaphorically speaking. I would love to speak to anyone who would be affected by an online Yuma presence about the benefits of donating the City's data, so if you have any ideas toward that end, let me know, and I'm going to work my contacts. Honestly, I'm closer to the GE situation than Allan Pruitt was, and I think I might be able to help. Also, if I can contribute or influence toward this end, it would go a long way to help my Qualified Geo Developer Certification =). Mostly, though, it's just so cool. I have some strategies that I think might help in the efforts to win a decision on this, and I'd love to have a brainstorming session with you. Anything that helps the infrastructure of Yuma, helps outside companies want to invest there. Hope all is well at the airport!

Made a couple minor changes. They are in red. Thanks Craig!

P.S. I’m reviewing the draft lease now. Hope to have some feedback for you later today. Spoke with Leo Pilkington this morning. He should have a “turn key” quote done for me in the next couple days. I’d like to get another turn key quote from someone else so I can compare bids. Do you suggest anyone else in town?

Scott,

Here is Gen's draft of the Press Release. It's late Friday, but we'll send it right now with your approval. Feel Free to edit as you like.

======

Yuma, Arizona: The Yuma County Airport Authority approved a lease today that will bring the "Million Air" franchise to Yuma International Airport. "We consider the Million Air brand to be the Ritz Carlton in the world of aviation services,” said Scott Freeman, Chief Executive Officer of Freeman Holdings, L.L.C, d/b/a/ Million Air, the largest Million Air franchisee.

"Fixed Base Operators, or FBOs as commonly known in the aviation industry, are the service stations for aircraft of all types and sizes," said Gen Grosse, Corporate Account Manager of the Airport Authority. Million Air FBOs provide pilots with aircraft servicing, fueling, a place to plan their flights, and offers a supremely comfortable setting for pilots needing to either unwind or recharge.

The new agreement will see the Million Air logo in a new facility between the NASA Hangar and the proposed Federal Express site on 40th street between Arizona and the 4th Avenue extension. "This location within the Defense Contractor Complex enables them to focus on one of their most important customers, military pilots flying military aircraft," said Grosse. "Having Million Air at the airport fits perfectly with the airport's goal of adding value to our growing defense industry in Yuma County. This is an exciting development for the entire airfield.”

Million Air currently delivers general aviation services through a chain of separate franchises strategically located across the United States,Canada and the Caribbean. Million Air Interlink, Inc. owns the Million Air name and franchising rights.

Dear Mr. Gresser,

I think we have a deal with Million Air. I'd like to run it by you in the morning as soon as you are able. As you might expect, we are now against a deadline and may need to get approval for a lease prior to the next board meeting. Might be able to start with a handshake however, we'll see in the morning.

There is a cost to us in the way of a fuel farm, but we'll pass that on to them in rent in one way or another.

Other gotcha is that we would be leasing part of the land currently promised, but not leased, to Mr. Kiernan.

Other than those two items, this has a lot of potential for us, especially if he comes through on fuel sales like he thinks.

Dean,

I appreciate the action that was taken to correct and remove the inaccuracies that occurred in these minutes. However reading on , I found a couple more that should be corrected.

Bob Corbett

1: The following motion to award was made by myself and with you seconding .

Mr. Ingold made a motion to authorize the YCAA president to sign the Notice of Award, and for the airport director decide all related necessary documents, for the construction of the Airport Industrial Complex to Eckard Construction Company not to exceed amount of $5,038,527.00 million dollars contingent upon final approval by architect on record, airport staff, airport counsel, and the Economic Development Administration. Mr. Corbett seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous.

2: Item # nine (9) was the item for executive session--not item #10

Mr. Gourley made a motion to go into Executive Session for the purpose of obtaining legal advice from the YCAA attorney in the matter of Item #9. Mr. Rice seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous.

10) Discussion and update on the FAA's dismissal, and the Airport's followup, of a complaint filed against the Airport Authority by Joe Gamez and friends. Bob Corbett Robert Ingold, Jr. to: craig 04/04/2012 08:00 PM Please respond to ringyjr History: This message has been replied to.

Craig, Bob Corbett has set up a meeting with Jr. to look over the financials of the Authority to clear up, in his mind, the issue of Millionaires investment in the FBO they took over from the Authority. This is a logical request by a director and should put this issue to rest. I see no reason for you to be present at this meeting. Mr. Corbett is well qualified to understand the inter working of our accounting system. I think that the finance committee chairman should also make himself very familiar with our accounting system so he could back up Jr. if any questions are raised at board meetings. The more the board understands the inter workings of the Authorities operations, the fewer question can be raised. I hope you agree with my assessment of the situation. Rob Ingold President YCAA Board Draft Million Air Press Release Craig Williams to: Bill Gresser, Scott Freeman 12/02/2011 12:34 AM Cc: James Combs, Gen Grosse Bcc: grandid

Dear Mr. Gresser and Mr. Freeman,

Here is our draft press release for the Million Air award ceremony. Please make any changes you desire and return it to me or Gen. We'd like to put this out by Friday afternoon.

======Start of Press Release======

"Our name brings them in the front door," said James Combs, the local station manager for Million Air. "But our service brings them back; over and over."

Local pilots take advantage of Million Air's trademark barbeque lunches that are served daily in their in-house restaurant, which also features a complete menu.

"Defence Contractors have to be able to count on quality service, on time, every time," explained Gen Grosse, the Airport's Corporate Account Manager. "Million Air provides that assurance." The result is a growing number of customers, both first time and repeat. The client list includes Boeing Aircraft, General Electric, and dozens of military and civilian organizations. "Our job goes far beyond fueling the aircraft, however," says Combs. "That's where we start. Our job is not finished until the pilot taxies away and we know that we took care of every single need that he or she had. Whether it was an empty tank, an empty coffee cup or an empty stomach, we make sure they leave satisfied."

======End of Press Release======

Dear Board Members,

Good morning. The bomb threat against the airport last night was a hoax. That was the determination of the MCAS supervisor of the dog sniffing team that searched the airport terminal and parking lot.

The article in the Sun, http://www.yumasun.com/articles/yuma-57210-international-airport.html, pretty much sums up what happened.

The staff responded well, all of the appropriate checklists were used and we'll follow-up by adjusting some of our procedures to make the next incident a little smoother.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for remembering --I will be available most of the next two weeks up to and including the Board meeting date of August 14--

I will be driving for the DAV (van) on 8/2 & 8/6--- after those dates , I may be traveling to Flagstaff?

Just as a side note, I don't need a lot of staff time or attendance to review the insurance package/coverage. As a former full line licensed Insurance Agent in the State of California and as a business owner for approximately 40 years , I am fairly well versed and experienced in Insurance coverages, requirements and terms that are necessary for the YCAA.

I am also interested in the following portion of the lease ?? how does this fit in with our situation ?

"All policies of insurance or certificates thereof, shall be, ~--_.~ ..-'~. delivered to the gQY~~-y a_nd the premiums thereof shall be paid by ...._..._---,...._--~ -" .._. . .' the COUIltY. All insurance shall jointly cover both the County and . the Authority. Any additional insurance shall be at the sole cost of the Authority."

Gentlemen: Now that we have received the annual audit, and as we begin the budget process, it is time for us to meet and decide what role we will play. I would like you to be thinking of the balance between exercising our fiduciary responsibility and micro-managing. How much information do we, as a committee need?

I would like for us to meet as a committee on the preceeding Tuesday, March 4th, either for lunch, or at 4PM, at the airport.

Gen,

Just heard back from our CFO…..these checks were awaiting my signature and I had simply not made it over to Topeka to sign them. However, my Father is there today and has signed these checks and they are going out today. Thanks for keeping me in the loop.

Best-

Good Morning Scott,

I hope you had a nice weekend. It was sweltering here, only 3 1/2 more months of it.

Our accounting staff is getting ready to send out August invoices, and mentioned that they have not yet received payment for the following two.

Could you please check into it and let me know? I'll be at the dentist this afternoon but will be back on Tuesday.

Thanks so much and I hope you have a great Million Air day!
