Page 2 of 3
B. Aircraft that have been dismantled, destroyed or crashed and the FAA N number has been
retained by the aircraft's owner of record may submit to the assessor on an approved form
"Aircraft Statement of Condition" that would allow for ad valorem taxation of that aircraft if
approved. Aircraft for which such registration or licensing has lapsed or that has not passed the
annual inspection required by the FAA shall not qualify On this basis alone for ad valorem
taxation unless it has been dismantled, destroyed or crashed.
C. Commercial aircraft operated by a scheduled airline shall be exempt from the flat tax and
shall be taxed on an ad valorem basis in accordance with the KPB landing schedule formula. The
KPB landing schedule formula provides for the prorated calculation of scheduled aircraft by
dividing the total hours per year into the total time aircraft operated by a scheduled carrier are in
the KPB, and multiplying the result by the assessed value of each aircraft.
D. Def'mitions. For purposes of this section:
"Aircraft" means any engine powered contrivance invemed, used, or designed to navigate, or fly
in, the air and that is capable of being manned and is required by the FAA to be registered and
certified in order to be manned.

tail rotor of a helicopter.
"Commercial aircraft" means any aircraft transporting passengers and/or cargo for some payment
or other consideration, including money or services rendered.
"Crashed" means aircraft for which only parts remain that, due to their condition, can no longer
be assembled to create any contrivable aircraft. This shall be evidenced by a FAA accident report
and/or copy of an insurance claim that determines the aircraft to be a total loss.
"Destroyed" means aircraft that have been damaged by age, weather, neglect and/or external
influences outside the owner's control, and only unusable parts remain that, due to their condition
can no longer be assembled to create any contrivable aircraft. This shall be evidenced by
photographs and a physical inspection by the KPB Assessing staff appraiser if deemed necessary
by the borough assessor.
"Dismantled" means aircraft that have been voluntarily disassembled and only parts remain that
can no longer be assembled to create any eontrivable aircraft. Evidence such as photographs and
a physical inspection by the KPB Assessing staff appraiser shall be provided or allowed if
deemed necessary by the borough assessor.
"Scheduled airline. A "scheduled airline" is any individual, partnership, corporation or
association:
(1) Engaged in air tmnspomtion under regular schedules to, over, away from, or within the U.S.;

TO: Pete Sprague, Assembly President
Members, Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly
FROM: Chris Moss, Assembly Member
DATE: March 4, 2004
SUBJECT: Ordinance 2003-45, mending KPB Chapter 5.12 to provide for a flat tax on aircraft
After the third public hearing on this ordinance, Assembly Members Chris Moss and Dan Chay
met with aircraft owners on February 13, 2004, to give them an oppommity to voice their
concerns over the ordinance and to obtain aid in developing the ordinance. The development of
categories for taxation of aircraft based upon weight appears to be a reasonable compromise to
fairly address aircraft for personal use and commercial use, and to permit efficiency, accuracy,
.and fairness in the assessmem of aircraft. Using the Manufacturers Gross Weight with Internal
Load ("MGWlL") as a basis instead of the number of aircraft engines will permit ease of
verification and promote equality in taxation.
The following amendment to 5.12.155(A) in Section 2 is proposed:
SECTION 2. That KPB 5.12.155 is hereby enacted to read as follows:
A. For purposes of taxation, aircraft that have been issued an N number by the Federal Aviation
Administration ("FAA") by January 1 of the tax year shall be totally exempted from ad valorem
taxes and shall be taxed [at the rate of $75 per year per aircraft per manufacturer's number of
aircraft engines designed for that aircraft.] in accordance with the following flat tax ,chedule:

TO: Pete Sprague, Assembly President
Members, Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly
FROM: Chris Moss, Assembly Member
DATE: November 6, 2003
SUBJECT: Ordinance 2003-45, mending KPB Chapter 5.12 to provide for flat taxation of
aircraft
The existing property tax scheme for the borough provides that all personal property excepting
watercraft and motor vehicles is subject to an ad valorem tax. The first $100,000 in assessed
value of personal property subject to an ad valorem tax is exempt from taxation. Watercraft and
motor vehicles are both subject to a fiat tax. This has no value-based exemption as the tax is not
related to the value. Aircraft are similarly motor powered vehicles used for transportation,, and it
seems equitable to impose a fiat tax upon aircraft rather than an ad valorem tax. Anchorage
currently imposes a similar "registration tax" on aircraft situated in the Municipality of
Anchorage.
If enacted, this ordinance would impose a fiat tax on each aircra~ in the borough of $75 per
aircraft engine on each aircraft. It applies to all aircraft that have been issued a Federal Aviation
Administration N number. Aircraft owned by scheduled carriers are excluded from this
ordinance as they are taxed on an ad valorem basis, but only for the percentage of time spent in
the borough. Imposing a flat tax would potemially result in either double taxation or a complete
loss of tax revenue as flat taxes are not, by their nature, generally apportioned between
jurisdictions.
Attached is a table prepared by the assessor showing a reduction of approximately $179,770 in
tax revenues that would result from this change.

Subject:
Airport Vehicle Parking
The project to remodel the Terminal sidewalks and handicap access is progressing with
construction slated for August 2004. The second phase of this project involves changes
to the parking lot. The parking lot modifications are not eligible for FAA funding and
therefore require funding from the Terminal Fund.
The Airport Commission has reviewed preliminary drawings of a reconfigured parking lot
and approved the concept. It would be counter productive to passenger service to
attempt both projects in one year; however, I believe that limited changes in the short-
term parking lot could occur this spring with minor construction and new paint.
I believe the layout could be modified and the rules changed for a minimal cost. With a
few simple changes and minimal cost, we could provide short-term parking (up to 4
hours) in the spaces closest to the Terminal and begin charging for all day parking.
Them is an average of 20 - 50 cars parked in the short-term lot during the day and
evening. If 20 of those vehicles paid a $2.00 fee, the airport would recover $14,600.00
per year. These funds could then be used to pay for additional modifications to the
parking areas.
Funds are available in the Terminal account to have a simple layout prepared for Council
approval.
Does the Commission wish to recommend to Council that the short-term vehicle
parking lot be reconfigured and fees instituted for parking in excess of 4 hours?

Monthly Report
March 11, 2004
MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR MAY 22' 4th Annual Central Peninsula Air Fair
Plans are under way for the biggest and best Air Fair ever. We are renting a booth at the Alaska
State Aviation Conference and Trade Show May 15th and 16th in Anchorage. Last year's show
attracted over 16,000 pilots and aviation enthusiasts. Mary will be there registering pilots for the
Air Fair and handing out tie-down information. The Alaska Airmen's Association has come on
board as a sponsor joining the FAA, City of Soldotna and the Experimental Aircraft Association.
The Kenai Fire Department will be manning the bar-b-que grill serving hot dogs and hamburgers
while Mike Tart and Steve Horn once again serve up the best ribs in town. We need volunteers
to help with set up, registration, traffic control, food service and prize donations. We are also
looking for vendors to set up booths and advertise the many things available to pilots and visitors
here on the peninsula. If you know anyone who would be interested in having a booth (there is
no charge) or donating a prize for the poker mn please contact Mary Bondurant at 283-7951 x22.
Airport Security: The TSA continues to screen 100% of baggage and we continue discussions
with them on plans for expanding their operation.
Training: I will be traveling to Anchorage International Airport on March 15 & 16 to attend an
Intermediate Incident Command Class. Lt. Wannamaker, Sgt. Sandahl and Assistant Fire Chief
Mike Tilly will also attend this training session that provides advanced training in emergency
procedures with a focus on aircraft accidents and incidents. Thanks to the Anchorage Airport
Operations staff for inviting us to participate, free of charge.
Terminal: A new contract for janitorial services is up for Council approval in this packet. The
proposed contract will save over $1200.00 a month. There is also a proposed lease for intemet
service to the traveling public and a new calling card machine.
Era Aviation: Era has been offering weekend specials on their web site that appear to be
increasing our enplanement numbers. Check it out at www.FlyEra, com.
Full Scale Drill: On February 25 we conducted the FAA required triennial full-scale emergency
exercise. The Kenai Police and Fire Departments preformed in an exemplary manner as always.
Special thanks to Era Aviation for providing an aircraft and Mike Tilly for orchestrating the
event. All of the participants did a great job, however Lt. Kim Wannamaker deserves a special
acknowledgement for his innovation and acting ability above and beyond the call of duty.
