Report from Nav~ Homeporting Project There is no report as yet. Mayor Williams was unable to obtain information on his trip to Hawaii other than a report will be made in the future. The Gramm-Rudman Act is supposed to be ending soon which might open up a lot of new areas for funding. KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION February 4, 1989 Page 2 b. Meetin~ with Air Force Recruiter Chairman Irwin reported on the relationship with the Air Force and Reserves. The reserves are looking at this area for basing and if that is the case, they will be looking at bringing in C-130's. Right now the Guard owns all equipment such as planes. With the Gramm-Rudman Act gone, some of the equipment will go to the reserves and it will be theirs. 6. AIRPORT MANAGER' S REPORT Airport Manager Ernst reported on the following items' a. Enplanement Report for one year and for five years. b. Preapplication for drainage study c. Preapplication for Airport Overlay d. ~.~acquisition of land near the mid-section of the water runway e. Report on Airport Terminal Renovation Manager Ernst gave a time line for the bar, restaurant, and gift shop portions of the terminal. February 15th will be date drafting the RFP's. Hot beverage dispensers have been installed and hot coffee and other items are available during construction. There are two approaches for leasing the three spaces at the terminal, a) a set monthly rate and a one time.premium and, b) establish a minimum bid. The second method was done previously and while the operator never got below $2600 it was close. Chairman Irwin asked about a display from the oil companies or another other interested parties, Manager Ernst stated he would have to defer to the Mayor on his plans. An art student from KCHS will be painting a mural on the construction wall to help the appearance until the renovations are done. The asbestos problem will probably cost about $10,000 which is about what we gained on the sale of the equipment. f. Rules & Regulations for Float Plane Basin The packet containing the proposed rules and regulations is from those drafted for Lake Hood and while they are more stringent than is needed for this small facility, it is a beginning. Manager Ernst asked the Commission to look over the drafts including the draft for a Revocable Permit and bring then to the next meeting. Also to be addressed by the Commission are buildings and fuel tanks. Pay phones will probably be available at the north end. Three porta potties will be provided with one available during the winter months. KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION February 4, 1989 Page 3 Commissioner Shackleton asked about the availability of water to the west side, stating that it would be foremost for operators. Manager Ernst stated that water is available from the tank nearby. The target date for the float plane basin to be operational is June. g. There will be a student which will be taking care of the grounds, i.e. mowing and planting this coming summer. h. The runway overlay will take about three weeks.
