(Ord. 365) PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, May, 1991. ATTEST: this 1st day of , MAYOR Approved by Finance: (4/26/91) kl BICENTENNIAL CITY OF KENAI 210 Fidal§o Avenue Kenai, Alaska 99611 T~L~PHON~ 28~-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: William J. Charles A. Brown, April 23, 1991 Airport Regulations Brighton, City Manager Finance Director In February of this year, the City Council accepted the concept of pay parking in the long-term vehicle parking lot(s) of the Airport. Randy and I believe that the Airport Regulations should be amended to clearly establish the authority for a pay parking system. Initially, that is all we set out to do. But, as we reviewed-the regulations, we noted other problems that could be fixed at the same time. The attached resolution should be sufficient to describe what we are doing; this memo explains why. An~,endment #1 The Alaska Statute reference is wrong and is being deleted. Also, it seemed like a good place to slip in the KMC reference allowing for amendments to the regulations. Amendment #.2 Randy doesn't believe that written permission should be required to park on the ramp; oral permission should be enough. The next change is only a clarification (the old language seems to say that if one gets permission, we'll tow your car an2way). The third change allows the Airport Manager to designate a short time (say, twenty minutes) for the loading zone in front of the Terminal. ?he fourth change adds commercial vehicles and eliminates the examples. The final change lengthens hours of use of the loading zones. William J. Brighton April 23, 1991 Page Two _Amendment #3 What we.are doing here is el!mtnating-the specificity innaming the short-termparking area. The Airport Manager can designate an area. In fact, the area described in the current'-regulations is' wrong. Amendment #4 Here, we are eliminating the exact descriptions of long-termparktng areas. And, once again, the current descriptions are wrong anyway. The Airport Manager can designa~e these areas. This ks also where we state the authority to establish the pay parking system. Randy and~ consldered putting the rate in the regulations, but decided against it. I think we can assume that the councilmembers will know what the rate is. Theytll no doubt use the lot. from time-to-time. I have a hunch that if the rate is too high~ theytll let us know. ,/~ne,n,d~,en~,, #5 and ,~6 These correct errors in citations to other sections of the regulations.
