Me. Latvala arrived at 10:10 A.M.
No. Latvala presented color brochures and explained her product.
The machines are in designs that will coordinate with nearly every
rest room. There are machines in several bare in the community
now. Ms. Latvala related some sales figures for the Commission.
The Commission and Administration discussed terminal policy
regarding vending machines and contracts for space in the
terminal. City Manager Brighton stated that the first
determination is whether or not you want this type of facility,
then it would probably have to go out for RFP or competitive
bidding. As long as there is one other business of the same type,
this is the only approach that can be taken to keep all fairness.
Chairman Irwin noted that without a quorum, no decision could be
reached. It will be taken up at the next meeting and if approved,
will need to go out for RFP.

Ai port Taxiway & Overlay - Council Report
Airport Manager Ernst reported that this project will use about
$350,000 and is on the long range list for the airport. Wince
Corthell will be doing the project, they have done a similar
project in Nenana, including the lighting. The project will be
out to bid by the end of July.
Mayor Williams commented that Senator Stevens has been made aware
of this project in order that he may keep the navy informed of all
improvements to the airport.
3. NEW BUSINESS
Guests: Manager of Flight operations for Northern Air Cargo
Representative of Mark Air__
Mr. Jorgenson explained that his firm is required to train and
Kenai is the ideal location, however, they are requesting a change
in the flight pattern over the Kenai Airport. If the Commission
approves the requested changes, he will then approach the Flight
Standards Board. Mr. Jorgenson feels that the change in the
flight pattern will benefit the community and will be acceptable
to the Flight Standards Board.
There are two possibilities, to raise the approach to 1,000, or
circle out over the water, however, they would still have to cross
the runway. There are no night time training sessions planned.
Airport Manager Ernst felt there would be no problem.
The Mayor, Airport Manager, and Commission agreed to check the
area for noise abatement with Mr. Jorgenson following the meeting.
a. Discussion: Budget (fuel for aircraft for 7/4 Air Show)
(Airport Commission Budget)
Mayor Williams discussed the approval of the funds for fuel for
the aircraft for the July 4th Air Show.
Mayor Williams informed the Commission that the Council had not
approved a budget specifically for the Commission.
The Airport has been self-supporting since 1979. In the past FAA
has been supportive of the use of funds and how they are used for
airport purposes. The City will be approaching them with this new
issue with Council approval. Mayor Williams requested
Administration place the issue on the July 6th agenda for Council.
