MEMORANDUM
TO: Airport Commission
FROM: Ryan Foster, Planning Director
DATE: October 28, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution AC21-01 – Recommending the Kenai City Council approve
and adopt the City of Kenai Land Management Plan
In 2018, City Council approved a City-wide approach to land management through the
development of the City’s first Land Management Plan. Since that time, Administration has
worked diligently to draft a Land Management Plan to inventory, evaluate, and develop
recommendations related to City-owned lands.
The City of Kenai Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan includes economic development and
land use goals and objectives to develop a land inventory and land use strategies to implement a
forward-looking approach to community growth and development. The goals of the Land
Management Plan incorporate many of these objectives and include the following:
• Provide an inventory of City-owned lands with detailed information on each parcel.
• Identify properties required for a public purpose or to meet a future public need.
• Establish recommendations for individual parcels that are surplus to the needs of the
City to assist in responsible development.
• Create a comprehensive reference document that establishes a format for developing
land management policies and procedures.
One of the City’s greatest assets is its land inventory. The City owns 369 subdivided parcels,
including wetlands, tidelands, lands surrounding the Kenai Airport, and lands suitable for a variety
of business, commercial, industrial, residential, recreational, and cultural purposes. The Land
Management Plan is an important tool to spur economic growth and improve the quality of life for
Kenai residents and is key to the long -term viability of the City.
On October 11, 2021 there was a joint work session with City Council and City Commission
Members to kick-off the review, discussion, and comment on the draft City of Kenai Land
Management Plan. Additional meetings have been scheduled with the Planning and Zoning
Commission, the Airport Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Beautification
Committee, and the Harbor Commission to solicit discussion and comments on the draft Land
Management Plan.
Please review the attached materials.

LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN CITY OF KENAI 17
WHAT IS OUR
"WHY"
The purpose of the Land Management
Plan is to evaluate and develop
recommendations related to City-
owned lands that encourage
responsible growth and
development to support a thriving
business, residential, recreational and
cultural community. LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN18
Background
In 2018, the Kenai City Council approved land code
revisions as part of a City-wide approach to land
management through development of the City’s first
Land Management Plan.LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN1963In 1963, the FAA transferred
nearly 2,000 acres of land
to the City of Kenai
1975
2006
1986
In 1975, the City first
defined rules and
regulations governing
the administration of
City-owned lands
In 1981, the City began to
actively dispose of lands
and enacted ordinances to
encourage disposal
2018
In 1986, Alaska went into
recession. Land values,
land sales, and leases
declined
In 2006, the Airport
land sale and leasing
code sections were
repealed and
reenacted
In 2016, the City Council
approved a policy for the sale
of ten Airport leased lands
(amended 2018, expired 2021)
In 2018, the City Council
approved revisions to the
Airport Lands Code and as
part of a City-wide approach
to Land management In 2019, the City Council
approved revisions to the
General Fund lands Code19
The City is unique in its ownership of a large and
diverse amount of public land
5,440 Acres of Land
369 Subdivided parcels
The equivalent of 4,114 Football Fields
(with endzones)
LAND MANAGEMENT PLANApproximately 8.5 square
miles, roughly the size of
Soldotna.
20
A SIGNIFIGANT
UNDERTAKING
A Land Management Plan provides an active
approach to management that requires an
inventory of land holdings and a comprehensive
evaluation and analysis of each parcel.
In 2018, the City hired a Temporary Lands
Technician to research each parcel of City-
owned land and enter the information into a
new Lands Database.
LAND MANAGEMENT PLANOver 567 recorded documents
were reviewed and scanned into
the database as part of this project 21
New City Lands Inventory and Database
LAND MANAGEMENT PLANAn examination of public records and mapping was
performed for each City-owned parcel to review and
record detailed information in the database, including:
Property Description (e.g. physical characteristics,
zoning, land use)
Facilities (e.g. parks, trails, structures, utilities)
Status (e.g. public use, under active lease,
availability for lease or sale)
Fund (e.g. Airport Fund or General Fund)
How the land was obtained (e.g. State, FAA,
Municipal Entitlement, tax foreclosure)
Encumbrances (e.g. easements, restrictions)
22
Land Management Plan Objectives LAND MANAGEMENT PLANProvide an inventory of City-owned lands with
detailed information on each parcel
Identify properties required for a public purpose
or to meet a future public need
Establish recommendations for individual parcels
that are surplus to the needs of the City to assist in
responsible development.
Create a comprehensive reference document
that establishes a format for developing land
management policies and procedures.
23
IMPROVED RESPONSE
TO PUBLIC
The Land Management Plan can be used to
actively manage City-owned lands in a
wholistic way as well as provide better
information to the public.
In the future, we hope to make the Plan
available on the City's interactive online
mapping tool, allowing the public to research
City-owned lands from anywhere.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Eland Conway, Airport Manager
DATE: October 12, 2021
SUBJECT: Kenai Municipal Airport (ENA) Mid-Month Report
Temporary Hires
Interviews for temporary hires that bolster the ENA snow-ops team were conducted the week of
October 11. Fifteen applicants were interviewed. Offers will be made to ten applicants the week
of October 18.
Training
October 14: FAA required tabletop training exercise. The tabletop exercise is a higher-level test
designed to provide training and evaluate plans and procedures and to resolve questions of
coordination and assignment of responsibilities in an informal, non-threatening format without
concern for time constraints, stress levels, or actual simulations.
October 28: FAA required pre-season Snow and Ice Control Committee Meeting. These
meetings focus on:
1. Pre-season planning;
2. Operational plan to improve RWY safety and communications between various
stakeholders;
3. The needs of airport users;
4. Critiquing clearing activities of the airfield and apron areas after the winter season and
after each snow storm event.
Runway Closure - CXLD
The RWY closure for airfield drainage improvements has been postponed until the spring of 2021.
Runway Sand
Triangle Recycling was awarded the contract to make 6k yards of runway sand. The contractor
began making sand in late September. The contractor has not met specs yet, and is expected to
43

Airport Mid-Month Report
Page 2 of 3
begin sand washing operations in the second week of October. It is anticipated that the sand will
meet specs following the washing operations and ENA will have enough sand on hand to meet
the winter needs.
Terminal Fortification
In preparation for winter operations, ENA Ops has placed temporary barricades
around the terminal.
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.
Enplanements
August enplanements were
down 22% compared to August
of 2019. YTD enplanements are
down 34% compared to 2019.
