Discussion -- Alaska's Best Travel/Request for Relocation
Dottie Fischer with Alaska's Best Travel presented information to the Commission as to
why she wanted to relocate her business to the area commonly called the"airport gift
shop." It was noted a letter from Fischer was included in the packet and explained she
was wanting to consolidate the two offices she was currently renting; provide a waiting
area for her clients that wouldn't interfere with airline passenger boarding lines; and,
in general, to expand her service and worker areas to better meet the needs of her
company.
MOTION:
Commissioner Holloway MOVED to approve Alaska's Best Travel request for relocation
to the airport gift shop area as presented to be submitted to Council for their approval
and Commissioner Van Zee SECONDED the motion. There were no objections, ilo
ORDERED.
Discussion-- Need for Radar Equipment
Because the tower currently operates on what it can see and where a pilot thinks he is,
the Commission discussed the need for radar equipment. It was noted that if a pilot is
lost and the tower can't see the plane, an unsafe situation for the air space is created.
Commissioner Kleidon reported on issues raised at their last safety meeting.
Commissioner Haralson volunteered to research what is needed to acquire this radar
equipment.
ITEM 7: REPORTS
7-a. Commission Chair -- Commissioner Knackstedt noted he would be unable to
attend the November meeting.
7-b. Acting Airport Manager -- Jay Davis reported a new driving lane was
developed at the airport terminal. He passed out a flyer from K-Bay 93.3 FM which
gave options for purchasing advertising time during the Kenai Kardinal basketball
games. He requested the Commission approve the airport purchasing ads from this
package. Discussion followed and the Commission stated their concern that K-Bay
would only air the Kenai games and decided they liked the package discussed at their
last meeting which would be airing other local school's games as well as Kenai's.
MOTION:
Commissioner Holloway MOVED to not approve the airport purchasing ads from this
proposal (K-Bay 93.3 FM) as presented and Commissioner Kleidon SECONDED the
motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
7-c. City Council Liaison. Councilwoman Swarner reported there had been a glitch
in the carpet selection for the terminal due to the manufacturer's inability to guarantee
the product chosen for the rubber matting at the walk-off area. The committee was
now looking elsewhere for a similar product. She also noted Commissioner O'Reilly
filled the open "at large" Commission seat and the next council meeting would be held
on Thursday, October 19th because the 18th is a holiday.
