ROLL CALL Members present: Members absent: Barbara Edwards, Bonnie Koerber, Bob Scott, Henry Knackstedt, Ron Holloway, Tom Thibodeau Joel Kopp Also present: Councilman Ray Measles; Airport Manager Randy Ernst; Administrative Assistant Loretta Harvey APPROVAL OF A~END/% Agenda approved as submitted. 3. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDUL~.D TO B_~ N~.a. RD a. Major Gary Hunt, Commander CAP Major Hunt noted the CAP has a Beaver airplane parked at the float basin. In the past the CAP has not paid rent on the space. Due to a small budget the CAP cannot afford to rent the space, however they do not wish to leave the plane in an unsecured basin. He asked if the CAP could use the space for free, and if the basin fills up they would have the option to rent the space at a reduced rate. Randy Ernst said, the way it stands, he does not consider the CAP any different than a private citizen. Ernst said they had originally paid for the slip, and he had no authority to issue free permits. The misunderstanding has happened because he has requested payment several times, and when the CAP did not respond, Ernst did not follow up on the requests for payment. This may have been perceived by the CAP as a rent free agreement. Bob Scott asked if the CAP could be given a special use tie-down permit? Ernst noted someone at the CAP would need to sign off on the permit because it addresses liability, etc. Kenai Airport Commission May 11, 1995 Page 1 MOTION AND VOTE: Bob Scott MOVED to recommend to Council the C~vil Air Patrol be a11owe~ a special use tie-downperm~t for a m~n~mumamount, determined by Council, upon proof of proper l~ab~lit~ insurance and meeting conditions of a special use permit.
