NOI‐1D: Enhance online presence of the AZARNG Public Affairs Office. Primary Party:
Provide a highly visible link (e.g. pull‐down menu) to the Public Affairs Office on the
AZARNG website as a tool to enhance public understanding of the organization and
awareness of their activities and responsibilities. Update the Public Affairs webpage
to identify operational activities outside of normal procedures that may impact the
public and to clearly identify the point of contact for noise issues and complaints.
Consider incorporating social media in the Public Affairs Office's outreach efforts to
reinforce messaging and coordinating with Pinal County to include links to AZARNG
media outlets on their website.

NOI‐2A: Include a link to Phoenix‐Mesa Gateway Airport on AZARNG's website. Primary Party:
