KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION February 13, 1999- City Hall Council Chambers Chairman Bill Toppa *****MINUTES***** 1. ROLL CALL Commissioners Present: Bill Toppa, Phil Ames, Brian Shackleton, Bob Scott, Bonnie Koerber Also Present: Randy Ernst, &irport Manager; Loretta Harvey, Transcribing Secretary 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The agenda was accepted as presented. 3. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - January 9, 1992 Minutes were accepted as presented. 5. OLD BUSINESS a. Towing Concession Ernst reported that the concession had gone out to bid and the results would go before Council. The bids were- Jackson's Sales $92.50 (+tax of $4.62); The Towing Co. 145.00; Jova Enterprises Inc. 51.00. He asked if the Commission wished to make a recommendation regarding the bid results. Commissioner Scott asked if all towing companies had the ability to tow large vehicles safely? Ernst did not believe that Jova had the equipment necessary to tow large vehicles, but would probably hire another company that had that capacity on a contract basis. The towing company is liable for any damage to vehicles. MOTION AND VOTE: Commissioner Shackleton move to recommend to Council to go with the lowest bid which was submitted by Jova Enterprises, Inc. Commissioner Scott seconded. Passed unanimously. KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION February 13, 1992 Page 2 b. Restaurant Concession Ernst reported that he had solicited bids from several local restaurants for this concession. Two bids had been submitted- Mitchell Dorbrich d/b/a D&D Taco $500.00; Espresso, Inc. $200.00. The Council had reviewed the bids at their last meeting and tabled the motion. Some of the Council members did not feel the lease amount was the main issue. A full service restaurant did not seem to meet airport needs and a coffee shop may be more feasible. Commissioner Scott asked if the bidders were financially capable of taking over the airport restaurant. Ernst said they both appeared to be financially capable of moving in. D & D Taco said they could be operating in 15 to 30 days. Espresso Inc. said they could be ready by April 1st. Chairman Toppa asked if the bidders were willing to offer hours which would serve the flying public? Ernst said that Espresso, Inc. was willing to operate from 7-00 a m to 10-00 p m and D & D Taco would open from 5-00 a m to ~ dependin~ on demand. MOTION AND VOTE: Commissioner Shackleton moved approval to Council if the highest bidder is offering comparable service to lower bidder. Ames seconded. Passed unanimously. c. Fueling at Float Plane Basin Ernst had obtained information from Anchorage Tank & Welding, Inc. regarding tanks. A 4,000 gallon tank would cost approximately $35,000. There would be additional costs to get power to the basin. City Administration felt that a bid should go out for a fuel tank concession at the basin. Chairman Toppa agreed that the concession should be bid and felt that perhaps one of the commercial companies presently operating from the basin would wish to install a tank. Ernst said he would contact the companies who currently lease commercial slips to attend next meeting. KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION February 13, 1992 Page 3 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Airport Improvement Program Grants Ernst reported that three grant applications had been submitted to the FAA- Rehabilitation of Taxiway A-3; Replacement of Snow Removal Equipment- Motor Grader and Front-end Loader; and Purchase and Install Electric Gates. b. T-33 Project Ernst said that the T-33 Project was progressing slowly. Some additional money was needed to finish this project. He said that he would try to get the figure for completing the project and prepare an Ordinance for Council to obtain these funds. Chairman Toppa said he had discussed this with Mayor Williams and the money had to be appropriated to finish the aircraft. This would be discussed at the next meeting. He also requested that Ernst take new members who might be interested on a tour of the airport. 7. AIRPORT MANAGER ' S REPORT 1. Long-Term Pay Parking Receipts - $33,909.28 2.
