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 boazding 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. SO ORDERED. 6-b. 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 Kazdinal 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 Swazner 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.

AK 99513 Dear Mr. Poe: We write this letter to seek your support in acquiring and installing a radar system for the Kenai FCT in the near future... The Kenai Municipal Airport provides aviation servioes for the entire Kenai Peninsula. Numerous air carrier, air taxi, military, business, and generaLaviation aircraft operate intp and through the Class O airspace on a tally basis. Daily scheduled operations provide passenger and freight traffic to and firom-Homer and Anchorage on an hourly basis, Air carrier,. military, and air taxi operators-conduct training on instrument as well as visual arrival and departure procedures. Locally based helicopter operations provide regular transporta#ion to and_from the oil platforms and ships in the: Cook Inlet. Flight schools located aYKenal, Stevens tnternattonaf; Nterriq"Field; Birchwood, and Palmer use the Kenai area for training... Air taxi operators provide a multitude of flights from numerous bases in the local area to locations throughout the Kenai Peninsula, northward to Anchorage, and westward across the Cook Inlet. This-mix of aircraft. within the local airspace, varying types of operations, intersecting. flight routes,. and coastal weather patterns can and do create situations resulting in potential eonfticts. We strongly believe a radar system will help prevent those conflicts and provide a safer aviation environment. The "Wendeff H. Ford Av+ation Investment and Reform Act tar the 22st Centurv ", was signed by President Clinton {Public Law 1D~-1~1~~n Apra 5,.2x04. Section 756 o(the Act states: "The Administrator shall develop a national. policy and related procedures concerning the Terminal Automated Radar Display and Information System and sequencing for visual flight rule airtrafficcontrol towers." Our research indicates the FAA. Alaskan Region. has identified the Kenai. FCT for installation of a BRITE radar system. The FAA National Headquarters has validated the requirement However, we understand no funding has-been identified #orthis project. We ask your help in generating this funding atthe earliest possibility. Wa believe installation of a BRITS radar display in the Kenai FCT would provide a greater "bang for the buck", than most other locations. This is due to the Dose location of the Anchorage Af2TCC radar site, the low cost of providing the radar signal to the FCT, and the local Airvoay Facilities office being located in Kenai. We look forward to your early-replyandaid forthis-project Sincerely,
