We have been in this location since 1991 and I have worked there since 1995_ While I have never measured noise specifically I can tell you from 12 years of experience there has been no significant changes. Typically there will be a group of 4 to 8 aircraft that take off over a matter of 10 minutes and then they are gone for hours and return in a group circle over my office and land. Depending on the wind some takeoff and landing approaches put them directly over my office, but again only for a few minutes. There are some days there are no aircraft at all, and others that may see three to four groups a day I am in at 6am and typically leave by 6pm. I must say that for the freedoms and privileges we take for granted every day I have no issues being a neighbor of Naval Air station Key West Thank you. Resp~tfUllY ~ GJY~n Sf.

'I The State of Florida, local govJrnment, and the U.S. Navy continue to work closely together do ensure the heulth, safety, and welfare of our citizens and vi~itors while preventing incompatible land use and unintend~d consequences from transient aircraft operations at NAS Key wes~. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Departme~t of Defense's Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (fICUZ) are two separate programs that help achieve health, ',sat"ety, welfare, and compatible land use objectives. ; In your constituent's letter, hrl questioned Navy compliance with the NEPA. NAS Key West was e iminated as a home basing site for the aircraft, which was t~e stated purpose of the "Environmental Impact Statement (ErS) for Introduction of the F/A-1B ElF to'the East Coast of th~ United States." The ErS, however, did not address transientltraining sites for the F/A-1B ElF "Super Hornet." I " In 2003, the Navy Comp!ied with!NEPA fOr transient F/A-18 ElF operations at NAS Key West by cornp~eting an Environmental 1 Assessment (EA) for Fleet Support ~nd Infrastructure Improvements. That EA, and its it~Orporated references, analyzed imp.cts to the human envi onmant, inCluding noise and flight paths resulting from trans ,nt F/A-18 ElF operations. As a result of this analysis, the Na~~ reached a Finding of No Significant Impact. The numbers ~ed to discuss 2007 flight I i. l I , l I , J I , q operations in the 2003 EA were base~ upon transient use projections. Based on the current ,~nd projected future operational tempo of NAS Key West, ~he Navy was able to predict the number and type of air operatio~s needed to support future training requirements. In fact, w~en you compare the numbers forecasted in the 2003 EA with actu~l numbers, the estimate is very accurate. You also refer to ~-22 "Raptor~ training; those operations are consistent with typ~, intensity, and setting of other aircraft presently operating ~t NAS Key West, and are conducted in accordance with all a~licable standard operating procedure~. 1 1 In the early 197os, the 000 eStiliShed AICUZ Program to balance the need for aircraft oper ions with community relations. The authority and main Uidance for this document is the Chief of Naval Operations Inst_i ction (OPNAVINST), OPNAVINST 1101o.36B, Air Installations Compa~ible Use Zones Program (AICUZ), December 19, 2002. In 19~6, Monroe County incorporated . the 1977 AICUZ into their land use ~egulations and discussed adoption or future AICUZ studies. ~AS Key West began the process of updating the 1977 AICUZ lin 2004. The 2004 update was forwarded to Monroe County and the Pity of Key West on January 12, 2005. This update was discuss~d publicly during Monroe County Commission meetings as part bf the County's growth development proce~ses on February ~3 and April 20, 2005. NAS Key West hOsted several AICUZ work~ng meetings with local governments and the State of Flori1a where further recommendations were made to updat, the 2004 AICUZ study. The 2004 AICOZ Update representJd the optimal, mOdeled, current and future operations at K~y West. The 2007 AICUZ Update represents revisions reques~ed through continued dialogue with local governments and the community. The Navy was able to aCcommodate the revisions with man~geable risk to current flight operations. Thus, the recommendedjchanges by local government and the community were adopted by tthe Navy on April 3, 2007. Furthermore, since the 2007 AICUZ ~as not a significant functional change to actual NAS Ke~ West flight operations, it was not a major federal action sig~ifiCantly affecting the quality of the human environment. iTMe Navy continues to strive to be a good neighbor and has cons~stently Worked with Monroe County and its citizens to find ways to promote compatihle land use. j Your con~tituent also qUestions!the noise modeling techniques used in the 2003 EA and the 2007 A~CU2. In preparing AICUZ and NEPA studies, the Navy uses the mo~t current models to provide , 2 j ,I J l j l the best possible environmental imJact analyses and recommendations for compatible use!development around air stations. NOISEMAP is the 000 model used to develop noise exposure contours. Navy is cogniz~nt of the fact that as new ai,craft are developed noise propagation characteristics can change. We are constantly exploridg Ways to address change. A new acoustic model for modeling ai~craft noise, the Advanced Acoustic Model, is being developedijby 000 to address non-linear noise propagation and determine iflnon-linear noise prOpagation will be a significant noise variab4e. Until the effort is complete, NOISEMAP will remain thejbest available model for calculating noise exposure around airfields. , NAS Key West will Continue a diJl09U~ with the local . community regarding AICUZ and loCat land use planning. In fact, Navy has scheduled an AICUZ worksh9P on October 23, 2007, where we will engage the local communitYlin discussions about the purpose and benefits of the AICUZ wrogram and how AICUZ reports are developed. The Navy will alsolbrief Monroe County and City of Key West commissions on December 5, 2007 on the 2007 update. Thank you for your interest andjconcern in addressing this issue.

Key to the Caribbean - Average yearly temperature 7JO F. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY To: Julio Avael, City Manager From: David Paul Horan, Florida Keys Defense Alliance Date: Florida Defense Reinvestment Grant to the Florida Keys Defense Alliance Proiect Issue: The Florida Legislature created the Defense Reinvestment Grant Program within the Executive Office of the Governor, Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development to assist defense-dependent communities. These grants are designed to help communities develop economic diversification strategies, improve base efficiencies, and implement base reuse programs. The State awards grants from funds available to these efforts and authorized Enterprise Florida, Inc., to administer the Defense Reinvestment Grants Program for the State. In J.uly 20M, the Florida Keys Defense Alliance (FKDA) (a local organization working with the Florida Defense Alliance) submitted two (2) grant applications to Enterprise Florida, Inc. In October, the City of Key West received a $600,000 Grant for the planning/development of access (ingress and egress) to the Truman Waterfront, Ft. Taylor State Park and the Outer Mole Pier. The FKDA received a $90,000 grant to support military/defense advocacy efforts and appropriate military facility analyses. This FKDA grant is to maximize the military need for and value of Monroe County military facilities in order to minimize potential for base closure and/or realignment. The military is the second largest economic sector of the Florida Keys economy. TIle economic impact of Monroe County defense spending reaches almost One-Half Billion Dollars annually ($463.7 Million). This does not include Coast Guard activities. Exnenditure of Funds: The FKDA is engaging RJ. Natter & Associates, LLC as an advocate and consultant to assist the City of Key West and Florida Keys with Congressional and government relations efforts. Attached is a short resume on the consultant retained by the FKDA. Approximately $78,000 of the funds will be used to compensate the consultant and the remaining funds will be used to pay expenses of the FKDA members and community leaders in attending Florida Defense Alliance meetings around the state and a meeting in early 2005 in Washington, D.C. One specific task of the consultant is to advocate the conveyance of naval properties to the City of Key West and/or Monroe County for the construction of affordable housing. Financial Issues: Invoices will be prepared by FKDA and submitted to Doug Bradshaw who will document the "local match" and then submit the invoices/documentation to Enterprise Florida, Inc. Enterprise Florida, Inc., will make direct payments to FKDA from the Grant program, equal to the lesser of $90,000 or the amount actually expended by FKDA. The FKDA is securing matching funds in the minimum amount equal to $29,700 (33% of the Grant funds). The "local match" will primarily be in-kind contributions in the fonn of dedicated volunteer time, use of equipment, software and time devoted by City staff. Recommendation: ] understand that City staff recommends that the City Commission support the FKDA grant supporting military/defense advocacy efforts. R.

November 3, 2004 Mayor and City Commissioners City of Key West PO Box 1409 525 Angela St Key West, FL 33041 Dear Mayor and City Commissloners: The Board of Directors of Last Stand opposes Resolution L "Authorizing a City match in the amount of $29,700.00 for a $90,000.00 Enterprise Florida Community Oefense Reinvestment Grant 10 the Florida Keys Defense Alliance." The description of the project Is vague and lacks any specificity or measurable performance standards. The application does not include required documentation regarding the budget or scope of work. The grantee was not in legal existence at the time.the application was submitted. The matching fund request for nearty $30,000 participation from the city should require a contnact for seNices. Such a contnact may violate Key West Ordinance 2-796, which states, "All purchases of commodities and contractual seNices when the estimated total cost thereof shall exceed $20,000.00 shall be awarded by the city commission through the process of competitive. sealed bidding or competitive request for proposals except as otherwise provided in this division." The Florida Keys Defense Alliance submitted their grant application for state funds on July 23. 2004. According to the Florida Division of Corporations, they only filed their corporate registration on September 17, 2004. According to page 5 of the July 23 application, the City of Key West had already committed the matching funds that you are being asked 10 approve over three months later. The application form states, "The grant funds shall be used for the specific expenditures Indicated on the Project Budget, an approved copy of which shall be attached hereto as Exhibit B: FKDA states, counter to the requirement, that the budget will be submitted with their first progress report. Paragraph 5, titled Scope of Work requires the grantee to submk a detailed Schedule of Activities, which are to be performed under the agreement. The form is to be attached to the application and labeled "Exhibit C.' FKDA states, counter to the requirement, that they will submit Exhibit C wkh their first progress report While on its face. the application does not appear to comply wkh the requirements of Enterprise Florida. it would refiect poorly on the city to obligate in-kind seNices without knowledge of the seNices required, specific activities to be performed and measurable guidelines to indicate that the city Is receiving a just value in exchange for its investment In the past, the Qty has retained an experienced consultant when faced with base closure Issues. However, the upcoming 2005 round of base closures are already announced and the entire Slate of Florida has no threatened closures by any branch of the military. The request for the matching funds and the grant itself appears totally unwarranted and its inclusion on the consent agenda without an executive summary is disturbing. ~,,~ ~49/#lw F ~ ".3-~9.38' t:J &. 93- Fi333 "JiW17~ '1-1-.*;- GRANT EXPENSES TRACKING SHEET City Project Numbel' GR 0504 City Account Number Name ,();e-J//<L) fJ"g,t-I<.. d4AJ-# Grant Name 04-05 Community Defense /Jt.w.~IJAf/'1- ~ ~ ~ Grant :'IIumber DRG-05-ll ~~4..4E .IMl.

As you can see, we are making little progress on spending the money (only $28,745) because of lack of in-kind services. December the grant expires and I doubt we will even have spent half the grant by that time. Enterprise FL folks are extremely concemed with this since that money could have gone to another community. If we do not spend ~, the money is lost. Add~ionally, I am not sure if you are aware, but the FKDA applied for and was awarded another $90,000 for 2006 for the same thing as the current grant. Enterprise FL called me and they are holding the grant contract from FKDA pending the City's agreement and approval on the required match. See the attached for what is required out of the City (last page of application). To my knowledge the City did not approve the funds for this project especially the $25,000 cash. Also, they are not happy that we cannot spend the original $90,000 and now we have gotten another $90,000.

The portion we are concemed with is the last page which states the following: 10: Local Match Documentation The City of Key West has committed to provide local match that exceeds the mln of 1 :3 to ensurs that the FL Keys Defense Alliance has the rssources necessary to adequately advocate on behalf of Its military Installations, missions, and Interests, and to conduct military facility analyees (as appropriate) The City of Key West and the FL Keys Defenee Alliance will match the requested grant through In-kind Investment of salaries of City Employees, the Chairman of the Key West Military Affairs Committee, and members of the FL Keys Defense Alliance. In addition to substantial In-kind Investments, the City of Key West has committed a minimum of $25,000 to support BRAC related expenses and local efforts to preserve and expand the FL Keys military presence. This is basically alii know about it. 5/2/2006 .I'/~f;::-i.'J"gr:; f'~g'~ 1 D! ! Doug Bradshaw From: Doug Bradshaw Sent: Thursday, November 17, 200511:13 AM To: Raymond Archer Subject: Florida Keys Defense Alliance - Community Defense Grant DRG 06-10 Importance: High Tracking: Recipient Delivery Raymond Archer Delivered: 11/17/2005 11:13 AM Raymond, Please see email below. I have received clarification from Enterprise that on the new $90,000 ($117,000 total project) Community Defense Grant that was awarded to the FL Keys Defense Alliance, that the City would be responsible, once agreement is executed, for a 30% match (or $27,000). The match can be in-kind or cash. Originally I had brought to your attention that the grant application called for the in-kind match plus a minimum $25,000 cash contribution. The $25,000 did not get put in the grant agreement and is not required. The grant application indicates the purpose is to promote DoD economic growth in the FL Keys, protect region DoD investments, and improve quality of life for region military members and their families. This is very similar to the first grant for $90,000 ($119,700 total project - $29,700 City Match) that was awarded to the FL Keys Defense Allianc13. That grant expires next month and to date $28,745 (of the $90,000) has been spent (this represents $9,485 of in-kind services for total project of $38,230). My question is does it make sense for the City to agree to provide in-kind services for a second grant when there is going to be a significant short fall of in-kind for the first grant? Enterprise FL has indicated that the City has the option of not executin\l the grant and allowing the grant money to be redistributed to another community that may have a greater need. ,Once the grant agreement is executed, any unspent grant money at the end of the grant term is lost and cannft be redistributed. This is what will happen with unspent money from the first grant. Enterprise FL is await\n~ direction from the City. .."._._.....~ Doug Bradshaw PortiLRA Project Manager #3 East Quay Road Key West, FL 33040 305-293-8338 305-797-8361 cell 305-293-6438 fax From: Angela Martini [mailto:amartini@eflorida.comj Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 9:18 AM To: Doug Bradshaw SUbject: Florida Keys Defense Alliance - DRG 06-10 Dear Doug, As you must be informed, Mimi is not longer working at EFI.

The grant, $90,000 (total project is $119,700) is being used to pay Adm. Natter for advocacy concerning Florida Keys military facilities. As we prepare the third quarterly report, it is becoming apparent that there is not enough Florida Keys Defense .Alliance and/or staff time to provide the required rnateh. As it stands now, $39,000 has been billed toward the grant with $7,835 of in-kind services for a total project to date of $46,835. This leaves $7,620 short (33% of total project is $15,455) of the match portion. The $7,620 is what is needed to make up the difference from what has been billed and what the grant is reimbursing the Florida Keys Defense Alliance. Pending a drastic increase in staff and/or Florida Keys Defense Alliance time, the City will be required to make up the match with cash. R J NATTER & ASSOCIATES, LLC 507 Rutile Drive PONTE VEDRA, FL 32082.2319 FKDA Quarterly Progress Report 5 December 2005 David Paul Horan Attorney at Law 608 Whitehead Street Key West, FL 33040 Dear Me. Horan: This letter is provided as a report of progress in support of our Letter of Agreement between R. J. Natter & Associates, LLC and the Florida Keys Defense Alliance (FKDA) dated 11 December 2004. For the quarter September 1 to December 2, 2005, our initiatives included the continuing combined efforts to establish a close and cooperative working relationship between the Key West community and the military neighbors within the community. Our focus has been on increasing the availability of affordable housing for government service civilians assigned to the Florida Keys military bases and adequate housing for the many people and their families who support the bases and the local economy. We also addressed the jet noise contours (AICUZ) surrounding NAS Key West and the appropriate use of State Grant money for State Infrastructure Grants. Additionally, I worked to establish a good understanding of the special challenges and opportunities associated with the military's presence in the Keys among senior Navy, DaD and State officials. The DaD and federal government decisions regarding he Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process is of special interest in this report in that it culminates two years of effort at the State and Community level to protect these important economic engines. The BRAC process ended during this reporting period. The decisions in BRAC, which are now law, reinforced the importance and value of the military missions and facilities located in the Florida Keys. In spite of the 180 decisions on closure and realignment across the nation, the Florida Keys were fully recognized for their importance to the nation and DOD and, as a result, were not affected. Our efforts in support of the Florida Keys Defense Alliance and the City of Key West during this quarter included two trips and a series of meetings in Key West with the FKDA Chairman and members, the Commanding Officer of NAS Key West and his staff, and a City Council official. These visits and meetings were September 11 and November 11-12. In addition, I participated in many phone discussions with these same leaders on a regular basis, addressing each of the issues of importance to the Keys and the military community. I traveled to Tallahassee at least once each month to ensure the priorities and concerns of Key West were well represented. My meetings there included the Governor and members of his staff, from the Chief of Staff to his General Counsel and members of various directorates. Meetings and calls included such issues as hurricane relief, State Grant awards, and a one-week City election postponement request due to hurricane evacuation and damage. I visited the home office of a Public-private housing Company in Philadelphia and visited with the Navy Southeast Region Commander in Jacksonville concerning Navy housing in Key West. Both visits were to ensure that the Navy Region's transition into the public private housing business will happen with the special circumstances of Key West well understood and protected by industry and the Navy, and with the intent that the ultimate contract responds to those special needs and concerns. I had meetings on two occasions with the new Chief of Naval Operations in Washington, DC, to discuss issues of importance to Key West. I also discussed by phone the housing challenges at Key West with the Senior Military Advisor to the Secretary of Defense. These meetings and calls were accompanied by a meeting in Washington, DC, with the Navy's Commander of all Navy Installations. Again, these discussions were for the purpose of ensuring that the Navy's leadership was aware of Key West's special situation. I hope this summary appropriately summarizes our work during this quarter in support of the Florida Keys Defense Alliance and the City of Key West. S incerel y, Robert J.
