Chord, Air Traffic Manager/Anchorage Terminal Hub Chord introduced the Kenai Contract Tower Manger, Joe Reynolds. Reynolds introduced his staff, Carrie Klinen, Justine Evans and Kevin Hubbard. Reynolds announced he would be transferring to Anchorage to work with Chord and Barry Beggs will assume his duties as Manager of the Kenai Contract Tower. It was noted, Beggs was currently serving as the Assistant Manager. Chord stated he had no agenda but would entertain any questions from the Commission. Fawetto stated the City had recently done a study on expanding the Kenai Airport and asked Chord if he was involved in any of the discussions or had any thoughts on it. Chord replied the Airports Division would be the parties involved and that he would prefer not to, however, a project such as this would take approximately ten to 15 years to complete. Discussion took place on the growth in Anchorage and how long they could safely maintain. Chord stated, the market would dictate the growth and the FAA had an ongoing capacity study to deterrn~Jne what, if any, improvements needed to be made. Once complete, the information would be available for review. Discussion took place on the tower contract and Chord reported the contract was for three years and negotiations were underway for an additional three years. Chairman Knackstedt called for a 20-minute break so that the Commission could meet the contract tower personnel. BREAK TAKEN: 7:25 P.M. AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 13, 2000 PAGE 2 BACK TO ORDER: 7:50 P.M. ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS 5-a. AirpOrt Terminal Carpet Selection Committee Cronkhite reported Councilwoman Swamer agreed to chair this committee and is looking for volunteers, preferably one or two from the Airport Commission, one from Council and one tenant from the terminal. Swarner pointed out she agreed to chair the committee but a selection would have to be approved by Council. VanZee volunteered from the Airport Commission. Cronkhite stated she would get a tenant name to Swarner. ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS Discussion - Automobile Rental Space Remodeling Plan/Airport Terminal/Gary Zhnmerman (Avis Car Rental) Zimmerman spoke on behalf of all car rental agencies at the Kenai Airport. Zimmerman stated they were presenting a proposal to the Airport Commission which would allow the car rental agencies to remodel the existing space at the terminal at their own expense. The proposal allowed each agency an equal amount of space and they felt it will be more aesthetically pleasing. Zimmerman handed out a copy of the proposed space revisions. Knackstedt asked if the City saw any conflict with the proposal. Cronkhite replied she and the City Manager reviewed the proposal and did not see any conflict. Cronkhite also pointed out the current leases were being held pending City Council's decision on the proposed remodel. Knackstedt asked if the plan allowed the rental agencies to return the spaces back to its original layout at the end of five years. Cronkhite replied it did not. VanZee stated he would abstain from voting on the issue as he was a lessee of one of the spaces at the terminal. Van Zee pointed out the remodel would be at the expense of the car rental agencies and felt it would increase the value of those spaces. Van Zee added, the proposal limited the number of agencies at the airport to four for a five-year period. MOTION: Holloway MOVED to recommend that Council approve the proposed remodel of the car rental spaces at the Kenai Airport Terminal. Motion SECONDED by Bielefeld.

ITEM 7: AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT Cronkhite reported she did not have a copy of the monthly enplanement report but ff anyone wanted a copy they could call her office. She noted, Trans- Northern had been operating and was taking a similar share of the flights formerly taken by Yute. Cronkhite reported she worked on New Years Eve as required by FAA and all systems checked out okay; there were no Y2K glitches. ITEM 8: COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND (~UF~TIONS - None ITEM 9: PERSONS NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD Chris Koppel, 1101 Inlet Woods Drive, Kenai, Alaska- Koppel reported he had been a resident of Kenai since 1978 and was also a tenant at the airport; he has a plane and pays the tie-down fees. Koppel stated wanted to bring to the attention of the Airport Commission his concerns with the increase in the personal property tax, which resulted in many tenants moving out of the Kenai Airport and going to other locations outside the City of Kenai. Koppel stated he was instructed by a council person to address the Airport Commission to see if anything could be done. Cronkhite indicated nothing could be done immediately as the change could not be made until the new fiscal year. Swamer agreed that it was unlikely anything could be done right now. Cronkhite stated she could include the issue on the agenda for the next meeting which will provide her with the time to compile a report for the Commission on what impact the personal property tax had on the Airport. She added, the report would also include the total number of tenants lost due to the tax increase. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the personal property tax within the City of Kenai. Cronkhite noted the Kenai Peninsula Borough and City of Soldoma waived the first $100,000 of personal property tax but the City of Kenai did not. When asked where the money for the personal property tax went, Swarner reported it went into the General Fund. Cronkhite reported some tenants who pulled out had returned as the facilities are much nicer in Kenai. AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 13, 2000 PAGE 4 It was decided that City Finance Director Larry Sero_mens should be invited to the next meeting to explain the personal property tax issue so the Airport Commission could make a more informed recommendation to City Council. Cronkhite stated she would also contact aircraft owners to see why they left and also invite them to the next meeting. ITEM 10: INFORMATION ITEMS lO-a.

Graves, City Attorney January 13, 2000 Council Policy Regarding Work Sessions for Commissions and Committees During the meeting of December 15, 1999, Council requested that I draft a policy regarding work sessions for commissions and committees. I reviewed the minutes of the meeting to get the intent of Council for the policy. The proposed policy is as follows: The Kenai City Council has authority under KMC 1.90.050 to regulate meetings of the City's commissions and committees. Pursuant to that authority, the Council wishes to establish the following policy for work sessions for commissions and committees. Commissions and committees of the City of Kenai shall get Council approval to hold work sessions that are to be held on a date other than that of a regularly scheduled meeting or at a time immediately prior to a regularly scheduled meeting (for example, a 6:00 p.m. work session before a 7:00 p.m. meeting). However, work sessions may be held without Council approval if they occur on the night of the regularly scheduled meeting at or after the time of the regularly scheduled meeting. During work sessions, only items on the meeting's agenda may be discussed and no formal actions may be taken. All commission and committee meetings must be given appropriate public notice. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. CRG/sp AGENDA KENAI CITY COUNCIL- REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 19, 2000 7:00 P.M.
