MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH:
Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM:
Eland Conway, Airport Manager
DATE:
September 8, 2022
SUBJECT:
Resolution 2022-66 - Amending Airport Aircraft Parking Fees
In accordance with Kenai Municipal Code, Airport § 6.05.070(c), the Kenai Municipal Airport
(ENA) began strict enforcement of Transient Aircraft Parking Fees in the Summer of 2021. Aided
by flight tracking programs, the Airport has captured use of transient aircraft parking aprons that
had historically been missed. While strict enforcement of apron usage fees has not drawn any
r significant attention, four regular operators questioned a discrepancy between historical charges
and recent charges: Iliamna Air Taxi, Kroger Co. Lake and Peninsula Airlines, and Curtis Glenn
— all were satisfied with the Airport's response, and remitted payment accordingly.
Airport Administration noted the interest of the four operators, considered their time on ground,
surveyed other airport rates & fee structures with similar users, and determined that the current
ENA fee structure does not consider quick -turn aircraft operations. By dividing the existing fees
below, the Airport is refining its structure of fair and reasonable fees. Airport administration
believes that dividing the fee structure in half adequately balances the Federal Aviation
Administration's principles and Grant Assurance that the Airport "maintain a fee and rental
structure that in the circumstances of the airport makes the airport as financially self-sustaining
as possible," the use of transient parking aprons by revenue generating operations as well as
non -revenue generating operations, and still capturing revenue, historically, not captured — in
good faith.
The Airport is proposing the following amendments to the City of Kenai Schedule of Rates,
Charges and Fees Effective July 1, 2022:
-transient- 4,001 — 12,500 lbs. 0-12 hrs. $25.00
-transient, 4,001 — 12,500 lbs. per-day12-24 hrs. $50.00
-transient, 12,501 — 100,000 lbs. 0-12 hrs. $50.00
-transient, 12,501 — 100,000 lbs. ger-day12-24 hrs. $100.00
Your consideration is appreciated.
