Alaska Geographic is the official nonprofit partner of the National Park Service, the US Fish and Wildlife
Service, the Bureau of Land Management and the USDA Forest Service in Alaska. We work with Alaska's
public lands aeencies to create opportunities for all people to experience, support, and protect Alaska's
public la nds, parks, forests, and refuges. Our educational programming anc! interpret ive products help
people enjoy, understand, appreciate and protect the wildlife, geology, and cultural history of Alaska's
public /ands. Our rntai/ depJrtrncnt develops and sells interpretive products that entert:1 in and cducnte
visitors to Alaska Geographic stores . A portion of every store purchase is donated to its host park,
refuee o r forest.
Through our membership progr<Jm and thoughtfu l cu lt ivation and stewardship of p eop le w ho love

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Eland Conway, Airport Manager
DATE: September 2021
SUBJECT: Kenai Municipal Airport (ENA) Mid-Month Report
SOAR AeroCenter Groundbreaking
On Wednesday, September 1, SOAR International
Ministries broke ground on the future site of the $3.5M
SOAR AeroCenter. The Fixed Based Operator (FBO) will
provide much needed services and amenities to general
aviation aircraft and business jets. ENA’s newest and
only FBO will strengthen the airport’s marketability.
Runway Closure
Big Mike’s General Contracting is expected to begin airfield drainage improvements Monday,
September 27. The drainage improvements are in the runway safety area requiring nightly runway
closures to minimize impacts to air carriers during the day. Runway closures will begin at 23:00
or after the last air carrier operation and reopen prior to the first air carrier operation or 05:00.
The project replaces approximately 488 linear feet of existing storm drain that is failing or in mostly
poor condition and historically causing sink holes in the runway safety area. Work is anticipated
seven days per week through October 18 or until the project is complete.
The total project cost estimate is $530,945 with 100% likely being funded by the FAA.
Federal Mask Mandate
TSA has extended the mask mandate for persons in airports, on airplanes and on
public transit through Jan. 18, 2022.
Although the mandate was set to expire Sept. 13, the agency noted that the surge
in coronavirus cases, due to the highly transmissible delta variant, required the
mask mandate to be extended.
