Car Rental Request for Reduced Lease Rates Josh Knopper attended the meeting as a representative of the Car Rental Agencies. Mr. Knopper referred to a letter he had written to the Commission which explained the rate for Kenai's Car Rental Agencies compared to 30 other agencies' rate. The letter asked that the rates be dropped to 5%. Knopper felt that revenue from the proposed pay parking would make up for loss of car rental revenues. Chairman Summers asked if the car rental agencies were the only airport lessees who pay a percentage over gross? Ernst stated that they were at this point. Commissioner Garnett asked that this issue be tabled until a further meeting so more information could be acquired. Toppa seconded. Issue tabled for future discussion. b. T-33 Aircraft Display Current correspondence was presented which stated that the T-33 was still available to the City of Kenai. With the war situation in the Gulf there is some concern over how the aircraft will be disassembled and moved.

Summers also asked that the Mayor find out costs of transporting aircraft and give a report to the Commission at their next meeting. · Ernst thought that the money had never been appropriated for the transportation of the T-33, but added that he would check into the costs involved and whether there had ever been money allocated.

Commissioner Toppa reported that he had met with Kristy Stark, of ,, ',,,., The Erickson GroUp to produce wording for the Float Basin brochure. Council approved that wording and the brochure has now gone to the printers. Chairman Summers asked if the airport currently had any restrictions on local Organizations (e.g. Elks, Moose Lodge, etc. ) advertising their meetings in the airport terminal. Ernst said there was no current policy, but that he could approach Council about the possibility of some sort of signage to promote non-profit organization meeting dates. Chairman Summers recommended that the Commission start thinking about a policy for this signage, so recommendations can be drafted and sent to Council. Ernst said he would contact the Anchorage airport to see what their policy is on this advertising. KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION February 14, 1991 Page 3 ~. 0.
