MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Porter & City Council Members
From: Linda L. Snow, City Manager
Date: June 6, 2005
RE: SOAR/Change of Use and Sublease to Air Supply Alaska, Inc..
III II
At the City CounCil meeting on June 1 st, the approval of the sublease referenced above was
amended to be contingent upon the administration being satisfied the sub lessee is appropriately
insured for the activities he is going to conduct at the airport. It was stated during discussion that
if pollution type insurance coverage is not available or is cost prohibitive, the administration
should bring that information back to Council for its consideration,
A meeting was held on Friday, June 3ra, with both SOAR and Air Supply Alaska, Inc. at Mayor
Porter's request. Mayor Porter explained she thought it was not the city's intent to require
additional insurance or other requirements above and beyond what has been required of other
airport tenants in the past. SOAR doesn't have the additional insurance coverage, and neither
does Air Supply Alaska, Inc. The representatives expressed concern that not only were other
airport tenants not required to meet these requirements, but also the City itself did not meet them.
The City of Kenai has fueling operations at the city dock and at the floatplane basin. An
unadopted 2004 draft Environmental Emergency Plan for Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasure for the Kenai Municipal Airport describes many other fuel tanks as well.
According to Finance Director Larry Semmens, the City's General Liability policy specifically
excludes the airfield, and fuel spills are not covered (see attachment A). The airport General
Liability policy does not cover fuel spill clean ups either (see attachment B). The Brown Agency
confimaed with Mr. Semmens that large, fuel haulers like Alaska Oil Sales can buy pollution
liability coverage and probably have it; however, while small operators could also buy coverage,
it would be quite expensive. ;
Also attached arc the lease pages from Yukon Fuel, the old Everett's Fuel lease, and the SOAR
lease demonstrating the insurance requirements. While none are'required to have pollution type
insurance, the SOAR lease has the highest General Liability requirement.

(1) Amendment to Lease Changing the Use
(2) Request to Sublease to Air Supply Alaska, Inc.
SOAR International Ministries, Inc. wishes to sublease to Air Supply Alaska, Inc. A letter from '
Shane Bowlin with Air Supply Alaska, Inc. is attached providing details of their proposed operation.
The lease states the use as "charter operations and operations and maintenance of aircraft used in
scheduled commuter service." SOAR has made a request to change the use to "Hangar and office
facility, air cargo services, maintenance and operation of aircraft, including fueling." Fueling has
'historically been a use on this property. Five underground fuel storage tanks were in service until
they were removed May- June of 1994. An aboveground storage tank was used until 1999mad ha~
since been removed.
Eric Mayer at SOAR stated that the area that Air Supply Alaska, Inc. intends to use is asphalt with
the exception of a small area that is gravel - where the old tanks were pulled. He said that they could
patch that area as recommended by the Airport Manager. For the safety and security of the airport,
she has also asked that they provide a plan for public access to the building for her review.
SOAR has met with the Fire Marshall r~garding the fueling and they have been provided a copy of
fuel storage requirements. Also, SOAR will cox/tact the Building Official prior to installing the
freight and hangar doors.
All parties are in compliance with the Borough and City. The City Attomey has reviewed the doeumem~
and has no objections. If Council approves the amendment and sublease, an Amendment to Lease and
Consent to Sublease can be prepared for your signature.

Discussion/Approval -- SOAR International Ministries, Inc.-- Lot 3,
]Block 1, General Aviation Apron:
l) Amendment to Lease Changing the Use; and
2) Request to Sublease to Air Supply Alaska,. Inc.
City Manager Snow reported, as the memorandum included in the packet indicated,
SOAR International Ministries wishes to sublease to Air Supply Alaska, Inc. She
noted, representatives from both organizations were in attendance, i.e. Eric Mayer
(SOAR) and Shane Bol~ (Air Supply Alaska). Snow added, the lease currently states
the use as charter operations and operations and maintenance of aircraft used in
scheduled commuter service. She stated, SOAR is requesting the change of use to
hangar and office facility, air cargo services, maintenance and operation of aircraft,
including fueling. Snow added, the memorandum stated fueling had been a
traditional use on the property and a description of the tanks in service and when they
had been in service was included in the memo, along with a description of the area
was also included in the memorandum. Snow added, SOAR met with the Fire
Marshall and a letter from the Fire Marshall was included in the packet for council
review. She noted, the proposal had been reviewed by the city attorney and he
objections. Additionally, the parties are in compliance with the borough and the city.
MOTION:
Council member Moore MOVED for approval of the transfer of the lease and Council
Member Ross SECONDED the motion.
_
Moore stated concern of the significant change in the lease for the use of the area and
noted the original lease with SOAR stated the tenant shall maintain all applicable
insurance. He asked if the same verbiage relating to insurance would be included in
the transfer, noting there would be additional liability with fuel tanks than just
parking airplanes. City Attorney Graves explained, SOAR would have to continue with
their current insurance requirements as required in their current lease. He added~
their lease would still be in effect and they would still have to provide that insur~ _ncc
and provide the proof of insurance. Moore asked if that would include coverage~~~'
storing on-site fuel/fuel tanks. He added, he thought it would probably be more
expensive to store fuel on-site than to park airplanes. Graves explained, he would
have to check their liability policy to see if it included an exclusion for fuel spills. He
added, they have a general liability policy, but he was not aware if it would specifically
exclude fuel spills as he had not seen the language of the policy. He added, the proof
of insurance noted the coverage for ordinary liability.
Moore asked Graves if he knew if the-new lessee would have insurance coveragefor
storing fuel tanks. Graves answered, the c//y does not monitor the insurance
requirements between the lessee and the sub-lessee. The city monitors insurance
requirements between the city and the lessee.
Council Member Gilman stated his understanding of general liability insurance
coverage would be an absolute environmental exclusion as part of it so that if there
was a spill, it would be very expensive to clean up and there should be the appropriate
type of insurance in place to cover that type of risk. He added, before council does
this, it should be confirmed that type of insurance policy is in place. He added, he did
not believe the general liability policy being offered by the lessee would provide that
type of coverage. He added, he would be surprised ff it did. Gilman stated, he did not
believe it was a hypothetical risk, but a real risk that is out there.
Ross requested the principles respond to the issue.
Mike Kelly, 52590 Suzeanne, Nikiski. Kelly explained they would not be bringing any
fuel tanks on site. He explained, they would have a fuel tank, which was there from
the previous sub-lessee for jet fuel for one of their aircraft, and would also have a fuel
Wailer on the airpo~ at a different location, with 100, to fuel small aircraft. Kelly
stated, they would not be setting up a big fue1~g opera'hon. Referring to Shane
Bolin's letter, the possibility of hauling fuel was mentioned because the aircraft they
have has that capability. However, they were not certain they would be doing that
because it is not a primaxsr focus of their business (this would be a fuel truck and not
a tank). He added, in essence, they would be conducting a very typical fueling
operation for anyone having an aircraft on the airport. Porter asked if they were
planning on having a fuel truck and not storing fuel there. Kelly answered, the fuel
truck would be on site as well as the fuel trailer.
Gilman asked if a fuel spill occurred by the fuel truck on their property, would he have
sufficient insurance coverage for that type of clean-up risk. Kelly answered no, they
do not have that type of insurance for covering that kind of risk. He added, it was his
understanding, as far as airport operations, he would be surprised that anyone out
the[e .fueling aircraft would have that type of coverage.
Member Ross asked if there was a requirement on the fuel tankers at the airport, that
when they are parked they are in a containment area. Acting Fire Chief Tilly r~ferred
to the memorandum included in the packet from Fire Marshall Baisden who indicated
they follow the NFPA Standards 407 for aircraft fueling services. He added, he could
not cite the particular reference, but from what he had seen on the airport, he had not
noticed any fuel trucks being stored in a containment area.
Buffer stated, typically when there is a fuel release a dam is not built around
underneath it because o~:~ the volatile nature of the substance. He noted, he
appreciated SOAR's intent, felt it was a great idea, and the airport is an important
asset. The council with the Planning Commission tries to make things work there and
have come to an interesting crossroads where they are learning about new risks and
how businesses do things. He suggested administration work w/th~the parties to see if
there is a way to identify something more specific than the language in No. 11 which
states "The Tenant shall maintain ~ applicable insurance" and see if that applicable
insurance could at least bring some level of pollution risk which would fall to the city if
in the event there is a 1,000 release of fuel bn the ground out there. He added, he
wanted to be sure council is communicating it and see this thing happen, but wants to
make sure the council balances the risk as much as possible for the city.

Moore stated he expected a.quick answer from the city attomey saying, yes it would be
covered and then move on. He added, he was not aware if other lessees have to carry
insurance for their fuel trucks and on-site storage. Moore stated he would amend his
motion. :
MOTION TO AMElVD:
Council Member Moore MOVED to amend by approving the sublease contingent upon
the administration's satisfaction that the sub-lessee is appropriately insured for the
activities he's going to conduct at the airport. Council Member Ross SECONDED the
motion.
Kelly asked if council was proposing they carry the same insurance as comparable
operators or something in addition to and above other'people who are operating at the
airport. Porter stated, it was her understanding it would be at least the same as other
people have currently at the airport or council would re-look at all of them. ·
Graves stated a lot of the airport leases would have to be reviewed because it was~ his
understanding this would not be a type of coverage historically a lot of the operators
have there.-
Porter requested the motion to amend be re-read. City Clerk Freas noted she would
have to listen to the tape for accuracy, but stated her notes indicated it was a motion
to __amend and it was to approve it contingent upon the administration being satisfied
that appropriate insurance coverage was available. Moore noted, "obtained for the
activities to be conducted."
Moore stated, some members of council had dealt with fuel contamination all over the
city and the expense in cleaning it up. He added, he does not take it lightly and felt
there was a potential liability for cleanup.
Ross statedhe agreed with Moore's concerns, but noted, the cost of the insurance~-:
could be prohibitive; He added, he understood Buffer's point-relating to containment:
area and volatility, however containment area is used elsewhere in the industry for
parking of tanker fuel trucks (on the Moose Range, U.S. Forest Service requires it) and
it is an easier way to deal with it than trying to do it through insurance because it is
almost impossible to acquire. Instead, bladder contahn_ment areas are used and is
where the vehicle is stored overnight. He noted, it is an easier way-to deal with it, it is
far less expensive, and is something a small operator can afford.
Gilman stated he was concemed about the risk and did' not know what insurance was
available or its cost and would be really coflcemed if the city's insurance would not.,:
pick it up. He used an example: There's a spill at the site; their (SOAR) insurance
does not cover it; they can't afford to pay for it because it's a $150,000 clean-up or
something; and then the city goes to its insurance carrier and finds the city does. not

have coverage either. He added, if that type of situation happens, the council needs to
be apprised of it in order to make an acceptable decision of whether council wants to
have that type of activity on the airport.
..
Ross stated if the issue cannot be resolved related to the insurance, administration
could come back to council with an alternative, i.e. bunkering for overnight, etc. He
added, for the time being, he was satisfied Moore's motion would 'get the ball rolling'
looking in the fight direction. He added, if it is found it is not the way to proceed,
administration could come back to council and it was not a 'no' to the parties either,
but saying council is willing to look at it.
City Manager Snow requested clarification, i.e. if in the event administration finds it
cannot be resolved in the way the motion is worded, but could be resolved by running
it through the city's insurance company, relating to the requirements listed in Fire
Marshall Baisden's memorandum which noted six requirements all regarding fuel
containment and fuel storage, if those requirements are met and the city's insurance
covers other kinds of operations on the airport, that could be brc. ~gl-.t ''~ :~ck to council
for review. Several council members answered yes. Porter statea, it was her
understanding the Fire Marshall set out the requirements.
Kelly stated the fuel truck they were discussing is one that had been there with the
previous lessee during their operation for the previous year and one-half. He added,
the fuel trailer he is discussing is one for which they received approval (perhaps
un_known to council) for fueling aircraft they currently have there. Kelly explained,
what they were proposing for the two vehicles...if the city wants airplanes operating on
the airport, they have to be fueled. He added, they appreciate and will be very good
tenants as far as environmental risks, etc., however the reality is, if the city is going to
run an airport and have airplanes on it, they have to have fuel. They are proposing is
to run airplanes on the city's airport.
Council Member Massie stated, apparently a similar fueling operation had been
operating for several years and SOAR would not be doing anything, different.. He'.
added, it may be good to find out what insurance coverage is available, but as far'-as.
he was concerned, council could go ahead and pass it.
Porter requested the vote on the motion.

Porter requested the main motion be reread.
Freas noted, the main motion was to 'approve the transfer of the-lease.' Buffer
requested a clarification the wording referred to "transfer" of the lease and not allowing
the sublease. Freas stated she felt confident with the accuracy of her notes and had
been a concern of hers at the time the motion was made as it did not refer to the
amendment and the request to sublease. Moore stated he would accept that as a
friendly amendment (to correct the wording of the motion to refer to the Amendment to
Lease Changing the Use and 2) Request to Sublease to Air Supply Alaska, Inc.). The
maker of the second, Ross, concurred.
