PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD a. Peggy Johnson - Shrink Wrapping in Terminal Peggy Johnson passed out copies of her proposal to operate a Shrink Wrapping business in the airport terminal. She said she had spoken to Randy Ernst the Airport Manager and he had suggested the glassed in area near the front of the terminal where the muskox is. Johnson needs very little equipment, a table, shelves, electrical outlets, a phone jack, and the shrink wrap machine. Linda Bonewell asked if any fumes would be involved in the shrink wrap process which may require special ventilation. Johnson said no. Bill Toppa asked if Johnson has asked the airlines if they will accept shrink wrapped luggage? He felt it was a great idea for fish boxes, since they can get soggy by the end of a trip. Johnson said she had not checked with the airlines but she was in the travel business for years and knew the problems people had with luggage and fish boxes, etc. She also felt that some of. her business would come from outside the airport, such as wrapping prints, boxes for mailing, etc. Kenai Airport Commission Apdl 14, 1994 Page 1 Linda Bonewell suggested that Johnson talk to upper management at the airlines regarding any regulations on shrink wrapped luggage. Also she may wish to obtain an MSDS sheet with information on regarding flammability, etc. It would also benefit the Airport if she would apply for DBE status once her business is established. Bonewell said she thought it was a great idea and wished Johnson success. 4., APPROVAL OF MINUTES a. March 10, 1994 - Minutes approved as presented. OLD BUSINESS a. A.I.P. Funding of Taxiway Extension to CAP Hangar Tom Thibodeau referred to the letter which the CAP had written to Airport Manager Ernst outlining the numerous agencies that use the CAP building. It is the CAP's opinion that their building does not fit exclusive use criteria which was the reason sited for not being able to use public funds for the extension project. The Commander of the CAP for the State had informed Thibodeau that they have a project going in Anchorage to extend the sewer to the CAP hangar using AlP funding. Thibodeau hoped that Ernst would accept this as a project he wished to pursue and with his help and knowledge concerning AlP funding this project should go forward. Patti Sullivan had said she felt it was a worthy project. The City and State would have to come up with 3% of the project cost, which is estimated at $50,000. The State Coordinator of AlP funds is behind this project, but the request must go through the Airport Manager. Bob Scott asked if the City would only need to come up with $1,500.00. Thibodeau said he believed that was it, just 3%. CAP has already had engineering, cost estimates, etc., done. Ron Holloway said the CAP had a practice session and two planes got stuck in the mud near the CAP building and had to be pulled out. It could be a dangerous situation if it were a real emergency. MOTION AND VOTE: Linda Bonewell MOVED to recommend that the Airport Manager work vigorously with FAA officials regarding AlP funding for a Taxiway Extension to the CAP Hangar. Bill Scott SECONDED. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Kenai Airport Commission April 14, 1994 Page 2 b. Camp Area Near Floatplane Basin Tom Thibodeau said that the CAP would be willing to help with developing a camping area. The best area would be near the basin bofore you get to the parking area. There is a natural cut there already and fire pits could be installed. Linda Bonewell said she would like the Commission to review any regulations which might apply for this type of development. MOTION AND VOTE: Linda Bonewell MOVED to direct the Airport Manager to research this issue and pull out any regulations which may be pertinent for the Commission to review. Ron Holloway SECONDED. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. c. Advertising Campaign - Poster Committee At the previous meeting the Commission had heard a proposal from Pilgrim Advertising regarding a poster contest in conjunction with advertising the Float Plane Basin. Linda Bonewell and Tom Thibodeau were asked to serve on a committee to help Brenda with Pilgrim work out the contest details. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Rental Space in Airport- Shrink Wrapping Bob Scott felt that some minimum hours should be set for the business. Toppa said the agreement would be handled by Council. (Previously discussed under Item 3.). 7. AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT 8. COMMISSION COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Linda Bonewell reported that the Kenai Peninsula Borough EConomic Development District had obtained a grant to host a group of delegates from Okha.
