ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS
Discussion -- Airport Survey
Airport Manager Cronkhite provided a brief recap of the purpose and intent of the
survey and stated Council has requested a more inclusive request for proposal, i.e.
provide an itemized list of points for the marketing study. Cronkhite requested the
Commission refer to the list of items previously compiled during the joint work session
held on October 15, 2002.
The Commission discussed whether or not a contractor is required to conduct an
inventory of physical assets. Haralson stated he felt this aspect wouldn't need to be
performed by a contractor, as part of a list already exists in the Master Plan.
Cronkhite stated she feels a contractor could provide an unbiased outside view and
could perhaps recognize items not already listed in the Master Plan. Additionally, she
stated her understanding of compiling a list of assets should include more than
buildings and look into other potential assets. The Master Plan doesn't address land
development issues.
The Commission and Cronkhite discussed overall land availability and whether or not
land outside the fence is considered to be an asset. Councilman Bookey stated he feels
all airport land, whether inside the fence or not, is an asset and should be considered.
He further stated the marketing study should incorporate all airport-related lands and
land that is developed; developed but vacant; developed and occupied; and,
undeveloped as all are physical assets. Councilman Bannock concurred.
Paul Landis, Senior Vice President, ERA Aviation -- Landis addressed the
Commission and asked them if they felt familiar with the Airport Master Plan. Landis
stated it seemed they had a hard time getting traction on the survey and he felt the
purpose of the study is to help prepare the Master Plan. Landis suggested the
Commission obtain Master Plans from airports of like size and geography to better
develop ideas. Additionally, Landis suggested hiring someone to update the Master
Plan rather than spend countless hours and dollars on a consultant to prepare a
marketing survey.
Cronkhite responded to Landis's suggestions and comments by stating she would'
gladly obtain sample Master Plans for the Commission's review by contacting the
Association of Small/Medium Airports. Additionally, Cronkhite stated the Master Plan
is an FAA mandated document moatly deals with property only inside the fence.
Cronkh/te stated Kenai has a very unique situation due to owning so much marketable
property that is beyond what the FAg. requires to be noted in the Master Plan.
Haralson asked if Council required information on developing a marketing plan for all
of the airport areas, including land outside the fence, or just the airport itself. Bookey
and Bannock stated it was their understanding to devise a development program to
mesh both.
Bookey suggested the Commission hold off reviewing criterion until after the February
20 work session regarding the fiscal situation, as there may be other Council requests
or directions given.
Chairman Knackstedt requested the Commission take time to prioritize the items on
the list; but to also table this item until next month a~ the Council may provide
additional direction. There were no objectiona.

Discussion -- Flat Tax on Private aircraft
Shane Horan, KPB Assessors Office -- Horan addressed the Commission and
explained how borough taxes are assessed and stated he is aware of taxation
disparities between communities within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Horan was
asked what would happen if Kenai were to institute a flat tax; he stated the Borough
would need to make changes to their assessing system, which would take time. Horan
suggested the Commission invite Borough Finance Director Sinz to help clarify tax
KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 13, 2003
PAGE 2
policy. From Horan's estimates, a flat tax would provide $3,300 in revenue compared
to the current $5,800. These figures are based on 44 private aircraft.
Bannock stated he sponsored the resolution which would amend KMC 7.05.010 to
provide a flat tax on personal property to $75.00 as a way to promote discussions and
perhaps stop rhetoric and misconceptions surrounding aircraft taxation issues.
Bannock provided the following:
· The key issue involving aircraft taxation is perception and fairness.
It is a myth that people leave the Kenai Airport due to taxes.
Owners of boats and other property will be asking for exemptions. Where
do you draw the line?
The borough has created an inequitable standard.
· If a flat tax were instituted, the borough would simply increase another
tax to make up the difference. Any savings would be an illusion.
Kenai has lost business to the Matanuska-Susitna Borough due to a
competition problem.
· The ordinance was sponsored to promote discussion and perhaps stop
rhetoric and misconceptions regarding aircraft taxation.
· The City of Kenai cannot afford to offer the tax exemption like the
borough can.
· The way to solve the problem is to get the borough to rid itself of their
exemption ordinance.
Jo~ Ha~ti~, K~nai -- Harris stated he is a boat owner and keeps one boat in Homer
and one in Kenai and is in favor of a flat tax. Hams explained, his boat in Homer is
larger and worth more, but taxes there are lower. He added, he would most def'mitely
be pushing for a flat tax on boats in the event a flat tax on aircraft is instituted.
MOTION:
Commissioner Kleidon MOVED to request the Airport Manager forward the draft
ordinance for Council review and invite the Borough and City Finance Directors to the
next meeting for further taxation clarification. Commissioner Watkins SECONDED the
motion.
AMENDMENT TO MOTION:
Commissioner Haralson MOVED to amend the motion by adding, the Airport
Commission recommends Council review portion "D' in the draft ordinance.
Commissioner Watkins SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO
ORDERED.
Discussion -- Appraised Airport Land Values
KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 13, 2003
PAGE 3
Cronkhite addressed the Commission by requesting review of a memorandum
(included in the packet) from Julie Derry of Derry and Associates. The memo states
Kenai has higher land values due to the airport being located in the business district,
which adds commercial exposure and has water, sewer, and natural gas. Derry added,
land values are based on the whole appraisal process.
Bannock stated he felt there is much more to the higher land values in Kenai than
what is outlined in the memo. Bannock stated, Kenai as a whole, has a much more
· complex infrastructure including a fully functioning airport and tower; one of the best
f~re departments in the state, including a fully manned fire station at the airport; and a
high number of police officers.
Shane Horan, KPB Assessing-- Horan provided a brief explanation of possessory
interest and reversionary methods in regard to land values.
ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS-- None
ITEM 7: R~PORT
7-a. Commission Chair-- None
7-b. Airport Manager -- Airport Manager Cronkhite reported the following:
· The Transportation Security Administration agents arrived for an
inspection and brought Boeing consultants. The agents looked into full passenger
screening. Additionally, the 300-foot rule has been reinstated due to the nation being
placed in orange alert status.
· Baggage screening at the Kenai Airport is being' discussed.
· The FAA certification agents came for an inspection.
· The Alaska Runway Safety Action Team suggested additional signage on
the runway.
7-c. City Council Liaison - Councilman Bookey reported the following:
· There will be a work session regarding the budget on February 20, 2003
at 6'00 p.m. Bookey encouraged all to come.
· Reminded the Commission of Bannock's new appointment and stated he
would be missed.
ITEM 8:
,C,,0MMISSIONER COMMENTS AND (~UESTIONS
Haralson stated he enjoyed reading comments from the last meeting and inquired as to
the status of the off-airport car rentals. Bookey informed him, at this point
administration is looking into the issue. Haralson suggested efforts be applied in
tightening up language to provide clarification to terms such as 'concession fee' and
°taxation.'

Memo

From-
Rebecca Cronkhite- Airport Manager
Date- April 3, 2003
Subject:
Airport Noise
A member of our community has raised the subject of aircraft noise and
requested action. As you will see in the attached documents, I have invited
Kristine Schmidt to speak to the Airport Commission on this subject.
In addition to email correspondence with Ms. Schmidt, I have included a recent
.article in the Peninsula Clarion on this subject, data provided by HMMH for the
City's Comprehensive Plan Update and background information on aircraft noise
and terminology.
The subject of noise is and will continue to be an issue at airports nationwide. It
is imperative that we continue to support a healthy exchange of ideas and
information between the airport and the surrounding community. It is our goal to
work together to help the airport grow and prosper while remaining a good
neighbor in our community.
The current noise abatement procedures am included for your information.

Noise Complaints
Ms. Cronkhite:
I would like to complain about the increasing use of the Kenai airport by
extremely LOUD military aimmff doing take off and landings in the
evenings from 8 pm to 10 pm. Last week and this week, virtually every
night, them were either C-130s or the AWACs jet doing take off~ and
landings, in many cases circling around our subdivision (Woodland), and
not heading straight out towards the Inlet -- i drove my car to the
airport and watched them take an immediate right after they cleared the
airport building, over the residential areas.
I would like you to consider putting an earlier time on the voluntary
"Noise Abatement Procedures"- instead of 2200 (I guess that means 10
pm) - please consider 6 pm or 1800. Most people in this community like
to come home after work and have quiet time with their families, but
can't do this when aimraff am screaming overhead or nearby. I'm sorry
that the City decided to allow residential development so close to the
airport, but we (Woodland Subdivision) have been here sinco 1967 and the
airport was much smaller and quieter then. Even when I moved here in
1982, the airport was smaller and quieter. Them were no jets, little if
any military use of this airport in the 1980s and early 1990s, and it was
limited to once or twice a day, between 9 am and 5 pm. Now there are
C-130s roaring around for two hours at a time, 5-7 times a day, everg
week day, and sometimes on weekends. The AWACs plane has also increased
its use of the Kenai airport exponentially.
In addition, small loud planes such as the Civil Air Patrol plane, fly
Iow over our property at 513 Ash Ave constantly, during good weather.
They are an extreme nuisance. In the summer, it is very hard to enjoy a
nice weather day, because that kind of day is an invitation to all the
small planes at the Kenai airport to buzz our house all day long.
It's getting to the point where either the City needs to buy our
property, or we need a real noise ordinance, with some teeth in it. It's
9:45 pm as I write this message, and the AWACs jet is still screaming
around the neighborhood, every 5-10 minutes. The jet started at 8 pm.
Why do we have to put up with this? The military has several landing
strips all to themselves in the Anchorage area, and they do not need to
use the Kenai airport, at all, ever.
If the City will not do something about this, I am prepared to go door to
door with an initiative petition that will have very strict airport noise
rules. A friend of mine who was a noise engineer gave me a lot of
4/3/03
materials, including noise ordinances from other cities, i know that I
can probably get enough signatures to put this on the ballot in the next
year. What I would like to see is the military aimraft limited to 2-3
times a day (for all branches, not each branch), 112 hour at a time, 10
am-5 pm, and for other large noisy aircraft doing practice approaches --
banned from 6 pm to 8 am. I would like to see small planes have to use
the same route straight out to Cook Inlet when doing take offs and
landings, no turning right over the residential aroas when taking off
towards the south. Please let me know whether you will consider making
the "Noise Abatement Procodures" stricter, along these lines. Thank you.

Re: Noise Complaints
Ms. Schmidt,
I wiil call our military contacts today concerning your complaint. Those I
have spoken to r~ntl~ attribute muoh of the inor~se in pra~~
approaches to the fact that our country is preparing for war. Many National
Guard unit~ am I~ing aoti~at~ and pilot~ am r~luir~ to perform a vad~t¥
of approaches to be certified. Due to the increase in military activity
ther~ ar~ many unfamiliar pilot~ training at K~nai. We will reiterate the
current noise abatement policy to our military contacts.
As far as changing the noise abatement procedures; I am forwarding your
letter to the City Manag~ and Ci~ Attorney for r~view. I will also bdng
your concems to the Airport Commission at their next meeting on April 10 at
7pm in council chambem. I invit~ you to attend that m~ting and voic~ your
concems to the Airport Commission.
Thank you for shadng your thoughts and ideas. I hope you will be able to
attend the next Airport Commission m~ting.

Annual Guard training fuels noise
complaints
By 3ENNY NEYMAN
Peninsula Clarion
Increased activity at the Kenai Municipal Airport over the past
two weeks from the Alaska Air National Guard and Alaska
Army National Guard has generated some grumbling from
Kenai residents who don't like hearing planes rumbling
overhead at night.
"We have had a couple of calls regarding the increased aircraft
activity, but most of the residents are very supportive of the
U.S. military and understand the need for increased activity at
this time," said Airport Manager Rebecca Cronkhite.
The additional aircraft activity has been due to annual
training, which is expected to conclude this weekend, said
National Guard Major Mike Hailer.
In the past two weeks them has been an increased number of
fixed-wing aircraft, including C-130 Hercules and C-23B+
Sherpa aircrafts, as well as helicopters flying approaches into
the Kenai airport.
"What we've been doing primarily is our night vision goggle
training," Hailer said.
The flights are part of the guard's annual training since all of
its air crews have to qualify for night goggle use every year, he
said.
Darkness is a necessary requirement for night goggle
training. "As it gets more light, obviously that becomes a bit
of a problem," Hailer said.
http://~.pe~sulacladon.com/ns-search/stories/032103/new_032103new004.shmal?NS-search-s... 4/3/2003
According to Cronkhite, the military generally limits how late
they fly into the airport to 10 p.m.
"With the increased need for training, they have gone past 10
a few times," she said. "They're working with the airport to be
good neighbors."
Though the night goggle practice is a yearly exercise, the
training of the last few weeks ties in with the nation's war
with Iraq as well.
"There is a relationship in as much as the air crews have to be
ready to go now, it's not the kind of training we could put
off," Hailer said. "... [f air crews are called up, they need to go
places on the planet where they have to be qualified for (night
goggle use) before they arrive."
Hailer said the last of the increased training flights should
happen Friday evening or Saturday morning.
"We appreciate people's attention and certainly regret if we
caused we any problems, made anyone lose sleep or made too
much noise in their neighborhood," Hailer said. "We always
want to be good neighbors, and that's the truth."

Noise Contours for the Kenai Municipal Airport
Reference: HMMH Job Number 298390
Under a contract with the city of Kenai, Harris Miller Miller & Hanson Inc. (HMMH) developed
air~'a~ noise exl~sum contoum for the y~r 2000/~001 airor~ o~mtion~ ~ I~r~
MunicipaJ Airport (ENA).. This technical memorandum summarizes the procedures,

available for aircraft noise studies. For this study, HMMH utilized the most recent version of
INM; Vemion 6.0o. ~ ,
The INM requires inputs in the following categories:
· Physical description of the airport layout,
· Annual-average weather information,
· Number and mix of aircraft operations,
· Day-night split of operations (by aircraft type),
· Noise and performance characteristics of aircraft types,
· Runway utilization rotes,
· Prototypical flight track descriptions,.and
· Right track utilization rates. '
Airport Physical Parameters
ENA is located approximately 160 miles southwest of Anchorage. ENA has an Air Traffic
Control Tower (ATC'r} that operates 7:110 am to 9:00 pm in the winter and 6:00 am to 10:t~
pm in the summer. ENA has three runways: the primary runway, Runway 01L/19R, which is
7,5?5 f~t long and 150 f~t wk~; a grav~ run~y, Runway 01R/19L, Which i~ 2,000 f~t
long and 60 feet wide; and a seaplane water runway, 01W/lOW, which is 3,500 feet long
and 150 fo~t ~:le. The airpo~ elevation i~ ff2.3 f~t above M~an Sea Level (I~L) with the
elevation of the end of Runway 01L being 84.2 feet MSL HMMH used the ENA Airport
Layout Drawing, existing condi~ons, as the r~emn~ soume ~or ~r~r~ run~ay data (S~
Figures I and 2).
AIRCRAFT NOISE TERMINOLOGY
A number of acousti~ tenm are commonly used to
describe aircraft noise. These terms form the basis for most
noise analyses conducted in the U.S.
The Decibel, dB
All sounds come from a sound source -- a musical
instrument, a voice, an airplane. The energy which
produces these sounds is transmitted through the air in
sound waves, or sound pressures, which impinge on the
ear, creating the sound we hear.
We use Iogarith~ to express a ratio of two pressures; the
first is the sound source and the second the reference
pressure (the quietest sound we can hear). This ratio is
,.~referred to as a sound pressure level (SPL), which is
expressed in decibels (dB). This logarithmic conversion
means that the quietest sound we can hear has a SPL of 0
dB, while the loudest sounds we can hear have SPLs of
about 120 dB. Host environmental sounds have SPLs
ranging from 30 to 1(30 dB.
Because decibels are logarithmic, they do not behave like
other numbers. For example, if two sound sources each
produce 100 dB, when they are operated together they
will produce 103 dB -- not 200 dB! Four equal sources
·
in a total SPL of 106 dB, and so on. In addition, if one
source is much louder than another, the two sources
operating together will produce the same SPL as if the
louder source were operating alone. For example, a 100
dB source plus an 80 dB source produce 100 dB when
operating together. The louder source masks the quieter
one.
Two useful rules of thumb to remember when comparing
SPLs are: (I) most of us perceive a six to ten dB increase in
SPL to be about a doubling of loudness, and (2) changes in
SPL of less than about three dB are not easily detected
outside of a laboratory.
The A-Weighted Sound Level, dB(A)
FrequencY, or 'pitch' is an important chamct~ of sound.
When analyzing noise, we am interested in how rnu~ is
Iow-, middle- and high-frequency noise. This breakdown
is important for two masons, first, our ears are better
equipped to hear mid- and high- frequencies; thus, we find
mid- and high-frequency noise mom annoying. High
frequer~ noise also produces more hearing loss. Second,
engineering solutions to noise problems are different for
different frequency ranges. Low-frequency noise generally
is harder to control. The nonT~ql frequency range of
hearing for most people extends from about 20 to I 5,000
Herlz (Hz). The 'A' filter approximates the sens~ of our
ear and help us to assess the relative loudness of various
sounds. .
Maximum A-weighted Sound Level, L
*max
A-weighted sound levels vary with time. For example, the
sound increases as an aircraft approaches, then falls and
blends into the background as the aircraft recedes into the
distance. Frgure I illustrates this phenomenon.
A-Level

figure 1. A-weighted Sound Levels over Tim®
Because of this variation, it is often convenient to describe
a particular noise 'event" by its maximum sound level
(Lmax). In Figure t, the level increases as the aircraft
approaches, reachir~ an Lmax of 85 dB(A), and then
decreases as the aircraft passes by. The ambient
A-weighted level around 55 dB(A) is due to the back[round
sounds that dominate before and after the aircraft passes.
Figure 2 shows Lmax for a variety of common
environmental sound sources.

Note tha~ Lmax describes only one dimension of an event;
it provides no information on the cumulative noise
exposure ~eratecl by a sound source. In fa~ two events
with identical I. max may produce ve~, different total
exposures. One may be of ve~. short duration, while the
other may be much loner.
Sound Exposure Level, SEL
The rnc~ common measure of cumulaive noise exposure
for a sin[le aka-at flyover is the Sound Exposure Level
(SEL). SEL is a summation of the A-~ sound ener~
·
over the duration of a noise event. The shaded area in
Fi[urn 3 shows that portion of the sound enerD, included
in this event. Mathematically, the SEL equation compresses
this noise ener~, into a column one second wide (shown
as the darkly shaded area in Fi[ute 3). The heidel: of the
column, is the SEL, measured in decibels.
A-Level

Figure 3. So. nd Exposure Level

Because the SEL is nonmlized to one second, it will alrrx~
always be larger in magnitude than the Lmax for the event.
In fact, for most aircraft events, the SEL is about 7 to 12 dB
higher ~~the Lrn~ Also, the fact that it is a cun'aJlative
measure mean~ th~ a hi~i~e~ SEL.carr~lt ;, u~-,-
louder or Ion[er event, or some combination'
SEL provide~-, a" (:c~ambembe. wa~ to describe nam
events for use in modeling and comparing noise
environments. Compu~ noise models base tl'eir
computations on these SELs.
Equivalent Sound Level, L
The Equivalent Sound Level (Lec0 is a ~re of the
exposure resutti~ from the accumul~~ of A-weighted
sound levels over a particular period of interest -- for
example, an hour, an eight hour school day, ni~ttime, or
a full 24-hour day. Leq is a comtam sound level over a
certain time period that c~aYmins the same sound energy as
the time-varyir~ sou.nd level, R[ure ~ illustrates Leq.
Leq is affected by the number and loudness of noise events
occurrin[ durin~ the time period of interest. Additional
noise events (re, less of how loud or quiet) will always
ino'ea~e the I_~; ho~e~r, loud event~ will domina~ the
Leq. It is important to recognize that the constant signal and
HARRIS M LLER MILLER & HANSON INC.
the time-vatTing signal would sound very different if
compared in rea life: the time-varying noise dearly has
periods when the fluctuating A-weighted sound level
exceeds the equivalent constant sound level.

In airport applications, Leq is often presented for
consecutive one-hour periods to illustram how houdy noise
levels rises and fall throughout the day, as well as how
Day-Night Average Sound Level, DNL
The Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) represents
noise as it occurs ~ a 24-hour pedod. It is the sate as
a 24-hour Lecr with one important exception: DNL treas
nighttime nome ditfer~ from daytime noise. In
determining DNL it is assumed that the A-weighted leveb
occurd~ ~ n~ (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) are 10dB Iouderth~
they really are. This I 0 dB penalty is applied to account for
at night am often perceived to be more intrusive because
nighttime ambient noise is less than daytime ambient noise.
Figure I illustrated the A-weighted sound level due to an
aircraft fly-over as it changed over time. The top frame of
Figure 5 repeats this figure. The shaded area reflects the
noise dose l~at a listener receives during the one minute
pedod of the sample. The center frame of Rgum 5
indudes this one-minute interval within a full hour. Now
the shaded area represents the noise during that hour with

Noise Abatement Procedures
Revised September 6, 2000
The following procedures are in effect to promote a good neighbor policy between the users of the
Kenai Municipal Airport and the residents of Kenai. This program is published as voluntary in
nature, however, it is expected that companies and individual pilots operating at this facility will
make every effort to follow these procedures.
These procedures are directed at large, heavy and jet aircraft performing training maneUvers and
do not override procedures for aircraft on an IFR flight plan.
Unless otherwise instructed by Air Traffic Control, the following voluntary noise abatement
procedures are in effect at Kenai.
1. Training flights for large, heavy, and jet aircraft shall be prohibited from 2200 Local
until 0700 Local.
2. At the discretion of ATC (Air Traffic Control) and when traffic, wind, and other
conditions allow, aircraft will land runway 19R and depart 01L.
3. These procedures are written assuming a right traffic pattern on 191L If conditions
do not allow for this or other noise abatement procedures to be followed, ATC will
restrict aircraft to one-operation and request they depart the airspace until such time
as there is a reasonable expectation that noise abatement procedures can be adhered
to.
4. Large, heavy, and jet aircraft will strictly comply with the 1600 MSL visual pattern
altitude.
a) Visual pattern using Runway 19R: Aircraft on departure will not turn
crosswind until at least 1000 MSL and ½ mile past the shoreline. A wide
pattern will be flown west of the prison.
b) Visual pattern on Runway 0IL: Fly a wider than normal pattern, remain west
of prison. Initiate turn to base at least ½ mile past the shoreline over the
water.
5. Large, heavy and jet aircraft circling from a published approach under VFR will do so at
1000 AGL or higher. Aircraft will circle west and initiate circle so as to avoid housing
areas west and southwest of the airport.
a) Circle Runway 19R: Initiate circle over water at least ½ mile from the
shoreline. Fly a wider than normal pattern and remain west of the prison.
b) Circle Runway 0IL' Fly a wider thnn normal pattern, remain just west of the
prison. Initiate turn to base at least ½ mile past the shoreline over the water.
6. No tactical (extreme iow level) type approaches are permitted on 0IL.
7. All companies desiring to conduct training activities involving large, heavy or jet aircraft
at the Kenai Municipal Airport will provide the Airport Manager with a contact phone
number for noise complaints.
It is expected that all pilots operating at this facility will demonstrate regard for the neighboring
community and conduct their operations accordingly.

Mr. Henry tCnac~tedt
Airport Commission
City of Kenai
Dear M~. I(nac~tedt:
]E live in the City of Kenai, in close p~oximity to the airport, and underneath the route
designated as the right downwind for runway one left. ][ appreciate the valuable resource
..
having easy'access to international ~lights-fhe :l~na~'-¢~ty Airport 'p~ovides and 'have little
disagreement with the resulting traffic it attracts.
]~ feel irritated by people who move close enough to an airport to be inside the traffic
patterns and then have the audacity to file frivolous and petty complaints directed at
airport operations. Z feel these ill-conceived protests are actions largely designed only to
meet personal agendas while ignoring the aviation infrastructure needs of the community as
a whole. Z; fear such individuals would thwart any convenient airport location and, if given
their way, would have the City of Kenai moving its airport to Kalgin Z;sland, or some other
,
suitably remote location.
Personally, ]E resent having to schedule time to justify the uninterrupted use of ~ public-use
airport in the United States. Every time someone who doesn't ca~e how fa~ others would
have to walk, drive, or swim, to catch an airplane gets vocal - others have to organize to
preserve what has been gained at considerable cost. Seemingly, all it takes is for one such
individual to becomes hostile and generate a complaint about airport noise fo~ a threat to
ordinary and customary convenience to evolve. Quite often, the basis fo~ the complaint is
only a single incident. ]: don't feel this is p~opo~tionate o~ justifies ~estHcting the ongoing
operations by imposing additional restrictions on a resource that is already under utilized
and already unable to perform at potential capacity.
: feel additional constraints in the form of curfew, horsepower limitations, or pattern
restrictions that impose limits or unsafe flight activity are considered unnecessary and
unwanted by the general population. Furthermore, airports across the nation have learned
that local restrictions in excess of the national norm cannot be enforced. Airports such as
I(enai's are protected by grant obligations, contracts that require the airport to stay open
because it received federal money. Unlike many others, Kenai is also covered by surplus
property agreements through which the federal government gave land in exchange for a
commitment to maintain an airport.
][ respectfully request you deny any request for the imposition of additional local
restrictions.

At their April 14, 2003 budget hearing, the Kenai City Council determined a change in
meeting schedules, form of meeting minutes, and electronic recording of meetings
would begin with the new fiscal year. These changes are being made in consideration
of constraints in the Fiscal Year 2004 budget.
Attached is a copy of the draft policy which council will consider at their May 21
meeting. Council requested a copy of the proposed policy be forwarded to all the
affected groups for review prior to their action.

FROM:
Mayor and Council Members
Carol L. Freas, City Clerk
DATE: April 23, 2003
CITY COUIVCI~ POLICY: COMMISSION, COMMITTEE, BOARD AND COUNCIL
ON A GIIVG MEETING $CHEDULE$
The Kenai Municipal Code, Chapter 1.90.050(a) states,
All boards, commissions and committees will have regularly scheduled meetings
which shall be open to the public. Exceptions to the' meeting requirements shall
be established by Council. Permanent records or minutes shall be kept of all
proceedings and such minutes shall record the vote of each member upon every
question. Every decision or finding shall immediately be fried in the office of the
City Clerk and shall be a public record open to inspection by any person. All
acts of boards, commissions and committees are subject to the paramount
authority of the City Council.
Kenai City Council has authority, as noted above, to regulate meetings of the City's
commissions, committees and boards. Pursuant to that authority, Council, at their April 14,
2003 budget work session, directed a new policy regarding commission, committee, board and
Council on Aging meetings be set, as well as indicating the form of minutes to be generated
from the meetings and who will take notes and make electronic recordings of the meetings.
Attached is a draft policy incorporating Council's directives. Because of the nature of this new
policy, council's policy of January, 2000 regarding work sessions for commissions, corn___m__ittees
and boards, has been integrated into the new policy. Please note, the new policy indicates
approval be received from the City Clerk, with Council and City Manager notification, for
special meetings and/or work sessions. This has been suggested to insure proper advertising,
packet preparation, and because scheduling for the use of the council chambers and Clerk's
conference room are kept by the Clerk and, since the commission, committee, board and
Council on Aging meetings will be held bi-monthly, it may not always be timely to wait for a
council meeting to acquire approval to hold a special meeting/work session. Having council
liaisons in attendance at the groups' meetings is another insurance a special meeting would be
warranted. (See Items 5, 12 and 13.)
Copies of the draft policy have been included in commission, committee and board packets for
review and discussion.
Does Council approve the attached Policy for Commission, Committee, Board and
Council On Aging Meetings and Work Sessions?
