David and Julie, I agree with your comments and we can provide a definitive term sheet. However, one of the main points is that we need to start the environmental investigation during your off-season. With that in mind, I would propose we do a phone call on Friday to discuss a draft term sheet in order to speed up this process. Thank you.

All - As we discussed at our meeting we really would like to get this resolved in a timely manner and I still believe there is a path forward. However, we have stated that any real path forward must include a definitive term sheet/MOU regarding a realistic time table regarding each phase of this undertaking up to and including a closing date. I have worked as a military officer, an attorney in municipal finance, a Hill staffer and now a consultant and I can tell you before getting underway, every project or deal I have worked on has a framework with dates/gates that need to be met on the way to closing. It's not just good policy, but good common sense otherwise transactions (like this one) twist, turn, spin and linger unresolved for years. I believe that is what's missing here and believe it to be the single most impediment to moving forward. We are obviously happy to discuss, but please advise ASAP if you can provide such a definitive term sheet/MOU. Thank you in advance.

Hi Julie, Doug has correctly described DOI's analysis and next steps. In we worked within requirements you provided: notice of 30 days, perform assessment during off-season and your personnell present during inspection.
I am happy to discuss. Would you be available early next week for a call? Thank you.

Julie - I do not think I am the right person for this discussion. If you want to appeal the decision please do so. DOI's attorneys have decided that NPS legally cannot extend the RUE but are very willing and anxious to negotiate a new lease agreement with Caneel. However they feel like they must inspect the potential dump site to assess how serious an issue that might be. That said, I am happy to participate in a call if needed.

Hi Doug, Gary Engle just received further correspondence from Interior. We are rather disappointed that they are giving notice to try to enter the property without addressing the items from the term sheet. David Urban and I would like to speak to you tomorrow afternoon. Would you be available for a brief call? David and I both visited the property this summer, which gave us more insight on the items of concern to NPS. We look forward to discussing this with you. Thank you. Julie Julie Philp ACG

Correct. She has taken a different position at the USO. The Acting Assistant Secretary for Fish Wildlife and Parks is Todd Willens but you can also respond to
Aurelia Skipwith, Deputy Assistant Secretary and/or me. Does that help?

Let me check (again) about the letter. I will say, however, that as I understand it, the NPS Solicitors have determined that they are unable to extend the RUE. Let me run this down and get you the status.

Julie thank you for the information you sent on the situation in St. John. We also generated a briefing from the NPS. I honestly think the next best step is to have you come into the Department and meet with the political team in the office of the Assistant Secretary Fish Wildlife and Parks. That would be a more direct path than going to the Secretary

Hi Julie, Doug has correctly described DOI's analysis and next steps. In we worked within requirements you provided: notice of 30 days, perform assessment during off-season and your personnell present during inspection.
I am happy to discuss. Would you be available early next week for a call? Thank you.

Julie - I do not think I am the right person for this discussion. If you want to appeal the decision please do so. DOI's attorneys have decided that NPS legally cannot extend the RUE but are very willing and anxious to negotiate a new lease agreement with Caneel. However they feel like they must inspect the potential dump site to assess how serious an issue that might be. That said, I am happy to participate in a call if needed.
(Aurelia please correct anything I have said that might be in error.)

We are rather disappointed that they are giving notice to try to enter the property without addressing the items from the term sheet. David Urban and I would like to speak to you tomorrow afternoon. Would you be available for a brief call?
David and I both visited the property this summer, which gave us more insight on the items of concern to NPS.
We look forward to discussing this with you. Thank you. Julie Julie Philp ACG

Correct. She has taken a different position at the USO. The Acting Assistant Secretary for Fish Wildlife and Parks is Todd Willens but you can also respond to
Aurelia Skipwith, Deputy Assistant Secretary and/or me. Does that help?

Hi Doug, I heard on the hill today that Virginia Johnson is no longer at the department. Is that true? We have drafted a response to her letter, but now I am not sure if we should send it to someone else. Thanks!

Let me check (again) about the letter. I will say, however, that as I understand it, the NPS Solicitors have determined that they are unable to extend the RUE. Let me run this down and get you the status.

Hi Doug,
I hope you are well and having a good week. I wanted to check back with you - you had mentioned a letter that would likely be sent this week on Caneel Bay and the MOU. Sorry to bother you, but curious where that might stand.
Thank you Julie

Julie thank you for the information you sent on the situation in St. John. We also generated a briefing from the NPS. I honestly think the next best step is to have you come into the Department and meet with the political team in the office of the Assistant Secretary Fish
Wildlife and Parks. That would be a more direct path than going to the Secretary directly. Would this be possible?
I am happy to set up a meeting at a time that works with everyone.
