MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH:
Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM:
Eland Conway, Airport Manager
DATE:
September 12, 2022
SUBJECT:
Executing FAA Grant Agreement for Airport Improvement (AIP)
Project No. 3-02-0142-072-2022
The Kenai Municipal Airport (ENA) applied for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant funds
to install a sliding cantilever gate, and acquire a snow removal equipment edge light cleaning
attachment on August 9, 2022. The FAA provided the grant agreement for execution on
September 9, 2022.
These grant funds will facilitate the procurement and installation of assets that significantly
improve ENA's snow removal operations:
Installation of the cantilever gate will provide access to substantial snow storage space
where snow storage is extremely limited and snow hauling routes are lengthy and time
consuming. By making snow storage space readily accessible snow is handled once and
stored in location not encroaching on taxiway safety areas or wingtip clearances.
Acquiring a edge light cleaning attachment reduces the amount of equipment, personnel,
time, and fuel required to clear the runway and taxiway edge lights.
