Attached, for your information, is a copy of the executed Memorandum of Understanding (M.O.U.) between the Fire Department, City of Nev York (FDNY) and the Port Authority. This M.O.U. formalizes the Port Authority's commitment to comply with local codes and regulations as they pertain to fire protection systems and FDNY inspections. This commitment was communicated by the Chairman and Executive Director in their letter to all municipalities in which Port Authority facilities are located and through subsequent resolution by our Board of Commissioners. While negotiating this M.O.U. with the FDNY, we attempted to address all of the concerns expressed by the Department Directors and/or their senior staff at the meetings held to discuss this matter. With the execution of this M.O.U. with the FDNY, we will now proceed to negotiate similar agreements with the fire departments of the City of Yonkers and those of several New Jersey municipalities. Your continued cooperation on this important issue is appreciated; I will continue to consult with the Department Directors as we proceed with future agreements.
