New Policy Limiting Purchase of Meat Products A new policy limiting the amount of meat products purchased on any given day has been issued by NSA Naples. The policy states that customers are limited to 8 of any single item and a maximum of 15 meat products per day. Purchases above this amount must be ordered 10 days in advance through DECA customer service 629-4871. Patrons from Gaeta, Rome and other outlying areas are limited to 8 of any single item to a maximum of 25 meat products per day with proof of residency location. This policy is intended to ensure routine availability of all products. CNIC-Directed Facility Service Reductions Beginning in January, CNIC facility reductions will impact installation janitorial and grounds keeping services. These are CNO-approved service level reductions. For NSA Naples, sweeping, mopping and general cleaning of all spaces will be impacted. Deskside waste and recycling pick-up in administrative and operational areas will no longer be performed. This will require personnel to dispose of waste in central collection points. Restroom cleaning frequency will also be reduced. Reimbursable tenants are not impacted at this time. Additional details will be distributed when available through leadership and in future PAO Notes. Access Control Badges Issued Tuesdays and Thursdays Security now only issues access control badges on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Access control badges allow personnel access to buildings on the installation for any period of time up to a year and are different than escort passes, which remain unaffected.
