B-3 KCSY Representative - Freedom Almanac KENAI CITY COUNCIL JULY 1, 1987 PAGE 3 Craig Wallis -Keck, KCSY. The City of Kenai has been designated a Centennial City, he applauded the City on that. There is a small percentage nation-wide. KCSY has a proposal - the National network has a series of programs called Freedom Almanac. He played a suggested format. He added, it will run once a day, 1:30 PM, 60 min., 7 days per week. They will do the product in-house. It will be noted several times a day that the City is a Bicentennial City. The cost is $350 per month, it will run through Sept. 17. Councilwoman Monfor suggested placing the time during drive -time. She noted she has heard it on Anchorage radio, it is good. Mayor Williams asked if there was any support from the Chamber of Commerce. Craig Fanning, Bicentennial Constitution Comm. chairman, said they are supportive. He spoke to Clerk Whelan, she suggested t%ey come to Council. Mr. Wallis -Keck suggested the City could share sponsorship with the Chamber. Councilman McComsey asked if there were any other local stations wanting to do the same thing. Mayor Williams replied the Council would have to decide on one station, this one is here first. Councilwoman Monfor suggested the proceeds from the VFW reimbursement be added toward this. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to sponsor the first month and add the VFW proceeds, conditional on the time be drive -time. Motion passed by unanimous consent. B-4 Tom Thibodeaux, Paving CAP Runway Mr. Thibodeaux said he represented the Kenai squadron of CAP. They have been here 24 years. They are asking for help in getting taxiway A-3 to the CAP hanger paved. The CAP is non-profit, an auxiliary of the Air Force, their stress is search and rescue. There are 80 senior members, they are encouraging student members. The senior members are trained and brought up to date on all new things. The 22 students are trained. In 1986 they were involved in 127 searches. There are hundreds of hours flown by volunteers. They are available 24 hours a day. They do search and rescue for snow mobilers, hikers and tourists; patrol the shore lines for those in distress. They are in contact with Elmendorf Air Force Base and the Troopers. 43 lives have been saved and 26 assists in 1986. They have 3 aircraft based in Kenai, as well as civilian aircraft. Their fuel is paid for by the Air Force, but sold from Kenai. They flew 1,300 hours last year. They are a national organization, of over 200,000 people. They are the second -most active in the State. They have had front page exposure, that puts Kenai in front of the people. They are all volunteers. There are 2 paid people in the State. The Air Force pays for fuel and maintenance, the Troopers provide utilities and aircraft acquisition. All else is paid for by membership. A-3 runway is a 475' stretch of gravel. The City is paving adjacent to that. Props have been nicked by the gravel. They are asking the City to pave continuing to the CAP hanger. It is 509 wide, they only need 251. It would cost about $13,000, the same as the rest of the work. Councilwoman Monfor asked if there was additional money in the paving project. Public Works Director Kornelis replied we are using FAA money on the taxiway, this would have to come from Qr- ■ ^ tiie KENAI CITY COUNCIL JULY 1, 1987 PAGE 4 General Fund. The vehicle parking and the road to that are State funds. Councilwoman Monfor asked, who owns the runway? City Manager Brighton replied, the V.S. Government. Councilwoman Monfor asked, why won't the FAA fund it? Mr. Brighton replied, FAA is a branch of the U.S. Government, FAA prohibits ADAP funding of private property. They consider this as private property. Mr. Thibodeaux added, it was FAA property before it was CAP. Mr. Kornelis explained, the grant is specific, we could not use it for lighting or vehicle parking. Any change in scope would have to have their approval. Councilwoman Monfor asked if this would qualify for airport money. Answer - no. Mayor Williams noted the City has been interested in acquiring that 5 acres, it would lend itself to development of the airport. He suggested the Airport Commission review the acquisition of this land and relocation of CAP. He added, the only method the City can use for paving would be from other funds that have been made available for roads and other projects. We have $915,000 in that account. He asked, what is the relationship of CAP to Air National Guard? Mr. Thibodeaux replied, if they moved into the area, they would take search & rescue from Elmendorf Air Force Base. It is an important mission in the State. They have been talking about taking the "Heres" away because of space, the F-15's have no space. The only reason CAP headquarters is at Elmendorf is because Anchorage has many headquarters facilities. we should pursue moving to Kenai, the Anchorage hanger is crowded. City Manager Brighton suggested Administration contact FAA to get a determination what ADAP funding can be spent for. He added, the real problem is the equipment is there waiting word. Mayor Williams noted there is $62,000 left from road projects, is that grant money? Mr. Brighton replied, it is not general fund. It is specifically for roads, it cannot qualify for a taxiway. Council agreed to submit this to the Airport Commission for review. C. PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1 Ord. 1220-87 - Increas.

His concern was that we not lock ourselves in too tight regarding construction. Councilman Malston said he had a problem with exempting the residency requirements. It is a commission for the City. There may be experts outside the City, but there may be some inside the City also. It should be made up of people who have a direct interest in the City. Mayor Williams explained, he asked to include this. In looking at the business community, 3-4 members of the committee do not live in Kenai.
