OLD BUSINESS' Discussion regarding the proposed advertising campaign submitted by Pilgrim Advertising at the last meeting. While Werner-Quade agreed with much of the proposal, she thought the bottom line cost was too much. She then offered some alternative ideas such as advertising in the classified ads targeting pilots under the Aircraft or Aircraft Parts and Service classifications rather than an advertisement that targets the general public. She felt post card mailouts at the same time the classified ads are running would be good. She felt contacting a business and asking them to distribute the Kenai Basin brochures for a nominal fee would be more cost effective than renting a booth and paying personnel to represent the Basin at the Sport Fish Show. She also felt the Chr±~tma~ card ma±l out wa~ a good idea. Scott agreed the full-blown campaign from Pilgrim was costly but felt it was a good starting place. He desired to get other companies (such as hotels, restaurants and taxis) to assist in the advertising or distributing brochures. Ames appointed Werner-Quade to take her ideas to El aina Wood of Pilgrim Advertising to see if the proposal could be whittled down and make the c~ampaign work. 5. PERSONS TO BE HEARD' Dean Eichhol z Dean Eichholz, part owner of Kenai Airport Fuel Services and Alaska Flying Network, spoke to the Commission regarding the traffic lane lines. He would like to have the white lines AIRPORT COMMISSION October 15, 1992 Page done away with in the area where his business 'is located since large airplanes must park far out and then fuel lines cross the traffic lines. Also these lines are covered up by snow/ice much of the year; and when they are visible, they are causing animosity between pilot customers when they have to move their planes. He feels the elimination of the white traffic lines in conjunction with pilot education would make the airport run smoother. He feels it is not a hazardous situation because the people driving equipment in the area are already familiar with possible dangers and that particular' area is restricted and not open to general public. Airport. Manager Ernst stated large aircraft are allowed to block the area during fueling but are not allowed to remain or park. He suggests a tow rig be put into operation so the large planes could be moved without starting them. The main reason for the delineation lines is safety. Discussion regarding visual cues on the fence and gate~-~ - ..... advising pilots not to park in that area. Shakleton does not feel the amount of vehicular traffic at this airport justifies the existence for vehicular traffic lanes. He feels they make the day-to-day business a hassle. Werner-Quade. feels liability would be wide open if the lines were removed and an accident occurred. Ames stated he would look at the area before making any recommendations. 6. NEW BUSINESS' a.
