To: Airport Commission
From: Rebecca Cronkhite - Airport Manager
Date: April 7, 2005
Subject: Tulin Lease Application
The attached lease proposai does not allow for parking lot expansion as discussed in
our current planning study. We are in the process of a Master Pian update and the
consuitants have expressed concern that approval of this lease as presented will tie up a
significant parcel of property in excess of that needed for the proposed development.
They have suggested reducing the size of the parcel and allowing for completion of our
planning before committing to a long-term lease of the entire acreage available.
Consultants working for Soar International on a private long range planning effort for the
airport echoed this recommendation.
Neither of these consultants are specifically tasked with reviewing this lease application,
therefore, their comments are not documented or fully researched. 1 mention them
because I believe the Airport Commission should consider the long-range implications of
committing to a 55-year lease of this property. It is possible, and my recommendation
that Commission request a full review of this lease by the consultants and a written
report on long term implications. This report could also include alternatives and
proposed lease language to encourage and enable this project to proceed while
protecting the interests of future airport development.

Kenai Municipal Airport
Brief Public Parking DemandlCapacity Analysis
DOWL Engineers
7/5105
Existing Master Plan - December,1997
• Based on 2015 demand of 170,000 enpianed passengers, the existing master plan
projected a demand for l00 parking spaces - 500 short termllong term,140 rental car,
and 60 employee.
• With 540 existing spaces, this indicated a need for an additional 160 spaces by 2015.
• Space for 200 additional vehicfes was reserved across Willow Street from the terminal
and 50 additional spaces next to the existing rental car parking lot were identified.
• Based on the above, the 2015 requirement would be met with these 250 new spaces.
Supplemental Planning Assessment Phase 1 Report - June, 2005
• The forecast for the Supplemental Planning Assessment indicates by 2023 Kenai would
reach 108,000 enplanements in the preferred forecast and 154,000 in the high forecast.
• Since these new 20 year forecasts are less than the Master Plan 2015 forecast of
170,000 enplanements, it would appear the current and proposed parking spaces would
meet the 20 year demand forecast.
Other Long Term Planning Considerations
• Airports often make the mistake of blocking terminallparking expansion by leasing
desireable land next to the terminal. Leasing decisions are not always made with a far
enough vision of long term terminal requirements. For example, terminai expansion is
currently blockedlconstrained by private leased properties in Sitka, Juneau, Kotzebue,
Fairbanks, and Kodiak to name just a few focations in Alaska.
• The proposed lease for air cargolhangar facilities at Kenai is proposed for 50 years; it is
impossible to forecast needs for parking and terminal area uses for 50 years.
• The proposed lease lot extends 100 feet into the area shown in the current master plan
for future terminal area parking.
• A cargo facility north of the terminal already blocks expansion in this direction.
• There are other vacant lease lots on the airport, but away from the terminal, that could be
developed for hangars and cargo facilities.
• There could be other terminal-reiated uses that could come up over the next 50 years
that would benefit from being close to the terminal.
• In the long term, if Kenai runs out of conveniently located surface parking space it may
have to build a parking structure in the future or buy back a lease that blocks terminal
expansion. A parking structure is estimated to cost about $15,000 to $25,000 per stall. A
400 car garage would cost about $6 -$10 million. Kenai would have to increase parking
fees to pay for the garage ~garages are not eligible for FAA funding), adding to the costs
of flying versus driving.
• The draft missionlvision statement indicates scheduled passenger service is of primary
importance. Making travellers park across the street from the terminal parking lot is less
convenient and discourages flying versus driving.
Recommendation
• At a minimum, eliminate the area shown for Hangar 1 and adjacent offices from the lease
and reserve this space for terminal parking expansion. Allow the Hangar 1 development
to be relocated to the site shown for Phase 2, since there is no current need for Phase 2.
• Alternatively, consider relocating the entire development to another vacant lease lot.
There are other existing lots with more space, frontage on V1lillow Street, and direct apron
access.

From: Kim Howard, Assistant to the City Manager
RE: Lease Application, Tract A-1, General Aviation Apron No. 4- Aviation
Support Services, LLC by: Charles E. 8~ Helen L. Tulin
As a brief history, on February 2, 2005 the council approved a lease application to Charles E. &
Helen L. Tulin for a portion of Tract A, General Aviation Apron No. 2. Tract A was in the
process of being subdivided into three lots. The Tulin's intent was to lease Tract A-1 and A-2.
The estimated value of the improvements was $2.5 million.
On February 22nd Mr. Tulin told me he was reconsidering whether to lease Tract A-2 due to the
size of the drainage and utility easement and restrictions on the property. He asked me to pull
the plat from the Borough Planning agenda and put the appraisal on hold. After discussions
between Mr. Tulin, the airport consultants, city administration and the engineer, it was agreed
that the proposed Tracts A-2 and A-3 should be combined into a single parcel while the storm
drainage and proposed taxilane project was pursued. At the end of March, Mr. Tulin submitted a
request to amend the lease application for Tract A-1 only along with an amended development
plan. Because there were so many items that changed from the original application, I asked the
Tulin's to submit a new application clarifying their intentions.
On June 3~d the original lease application expired and we received a new application that is
attached. In reviewing the application, the city administration had several concerns that were
addressed in a letter to the Tulin's dated June 17`h. The letter and their response are attached.
For clarification, two items in their response, items 2 and 3 are not accurate. In item 2, one lot is
being leased. In item 3, their lease application states the estimated value of improvements is
$980,000, not $375,000. If the application is approved, it will be based on the $980,000
_ Kenai Airport Commission

investment. The $375,0~0 amount is the minimum amount for a 55-year lease in the criteria
used by the State in 17 AAC 45 for airport leases.
KMC 21.10.080 states the term shall depend upon the durability of the proposed use, the amount
of investment in improvement proposed and made, and the nature of the improvement proposed
with respect to durability and time required to amortize the proposed investment. The FAA has
agreed that the City may apply the criteria used by the State in 17 AAC 45 for their airport
leases. Pnor to leasing, an appraisal must be approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
After review by the Airport Commission, the application will be forwarded to the Planning and
Zoning Commission to determine if the intended use complies with the zoning ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan of the City.
The Airport Commission needs to determine if the intended use complies with the Airport
Masterplan. The recommendations of both commissions will be forwarded to the Kenai City
Council for lease application approval.

Re: Tract A-1, General Aviation Apron No. 4
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Tulin:
~ The City is in receipt of your Lease Application dated June 3, 2005 for Tract A-l, General
~ ~
Aviation Apron No. 4. My intentlon is to submlt your application to the Kenai Alrport .
Commission for their meeting of July 14`h. Following the Airport Commission's
recommendation, the application will be scheduled for the Planning and Zoning Commission of
July 27`h. In a telephone conversation last week, Mrs. Tulin indicated she was agreeable to this
schedule.
In reviewing your application with the City Administration, several questions have arisen. To
clarify your intentions for the Airport Commission, Planning and Zoning Commission and the
City Council, please address the following issues in writing and we ~~vill include it with your
application.
1. It is not clear if Phase Two and Phase Four are hangar buildings. Please let us know
if you intend them to be hangars or offices. Also, our Building Official has told me
that a hangar will require a 30' setback from the property line, or if there is less than a
30' setback, a firewall will be needed. If you have questions about this, you may
contact Robert Spnnger, City of Kenai Building Official, at 283-8233.
2. Your plan doesn't show the proposed aircraft access to the lot. I can include the
preliminary plans for the new taxiway with your lease application for the
commissions' and council's information.
3. It was noted that you only intend to commit to a 12,000 -15,000 square foot hangar
at a cost of $980,000 on the 2.44 acres. You state that the construction of Phases Two
Charies ~ ~elen Tulin
June 17, ? 005
Page 2 of 2
through Four will be dependent upon demand and the state of the economy. In your
former application, which had been approved by the City Council on February 2,
2005, you utilized the entire lot with the estimated value of improvements at ~2.5
million dollars. The Commissions and Council may have questions about this. It
would be helpful if you could give us a more defined schedule of your development
plans.
4. On the Lease Application Checklist (page 3}, you refer to a greenbelt, natural
vegetation and planted areas in item ~. Please identify them on your drawing. Kenai
Municipal Code requires 5% landscaping and a Landscape Review Permit can be
obtained when you apply for your building permit.
5. Also, in item 4, the method of disposal is not addressed. Please confirm that the
unusable material will be disposed of off site.
b, You indicate in item 4 that all parking will be paved. Does this mean vehicular
parking only, or does it include aircraft parking as well? Please identify the paved
and gravel areas and the aircraft parking area.
A more detailed plan of your proposed development addressing these issues will be helpful in
processing your application. I will need this information by 5:00 p.m. on July 5`h so that I can
include it in the Airport Commission's packet.
We are looking forward to continuing to work with you on this exciting project. Please contact
us if you have any questions or concerns and we would be happy to discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
CITY OF KENAI

Dear Ms. Howard:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 17, 2005. In response to your
specific questions, I can advise as follows:
1. Our intent is to develop this property in keeping with demand. Of course,
development must be aviation related. At the present time, we expect that
the total deveiopment will primarily be aviation hangar buildings. Most of
these hangars will have offices in keeping with the demands of the tenant.
2. Access to the hangars will be down the center of the lost being leased. A
taxiway from the active runway will be near the center of the lots.
3. It is our understanding that we must invest not less than $375,004 in the
land within 24 months from the date of the signing of the lease. It would
be our intent to meet this schedule. At present we have had a number of
inquiries from people desiring hangar space. It would be our intent to
meet this demand. It is really not possible to be any specific other than to
suggest that it is in our best interests to development the land as soon as
possible.

4. It has been our plan to do landscaping around the perimeter of the
property, allowing approximately 5 feet for this purpose. Landscaping
would include shrubbery, trees and flowers.
5. Unusable material would be disposed of offsite.
6. Aircraft parking spaces will be paved as the property is developed.
Additionally, paved vehicle parking for each hangar will be provided.
Very truly yours,

FYI see revised version.., .you can go to Tools and Track changes to turn off the track changes for the final printed version
for the Commission. FYI you wiil see some deleted language in the track changes mode that were words I sent to Tom as
my proposed changes. So the large amount of deleted language is mostly deletions of my proposed changes with some
deletion of Tom' s eariier verbage.
Many comments at the last meeting had to do with the intent for general aviation. When talking to Tom he intentially did
not include general aviation in the mission, vision and strategic direction because he doesn't believe that it is a"top prionty
" and the purpose of this effort it to describe the priorities. He also believes the g.a. charters are part of cornmercial
aviation, and they should remain a pnority and are included in mission, vision etc.
He added a note to the explanation explaining that exclusion from the mission/vision does not mean something (like g.a.)
wili not be provided by the airport, but that its just not a top priority.
I hope that helps explain.

Hi Tom
Here are my recommendations, revisions and additions. I would prefer to keep as much original wording as possible so tbat the
Council is not seeing a brand new document. It my recommendation to only change sentences where strong objection was
encountered, since most of the original statements where generated by comments from the Airport Commission and others who
submitted comments.

Supplemental Planning Analysis
Kenai Municipal Airport
Mission and Vision Statements -
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this action is to have the City Council adopt a Mission Statement, supported by a
statement of "Key Strategic Directions," and Vision Statement for the Kenai Municipal Airport as a
reflection of City policy.
Airports represent different things to different people. To most, airports are where one goes to catch an
airplane to begin most long distance business or vacation trips. To others, the local alrport is a base to
store and fly their personal airplane or to learn how to fly. And for others, the airport is a fuel stop on the
way to somewhere else. The military and flight schools o~en use local airports to practice takeoffs and
landings. Clearly, airports play a variety of roles in our state transportation system.
In order to move forward with the strategic planning process, and the creation of an airport business plan,
it is important for the City of Kenai to have a clear understanding of the role the Kenai Municipal Airport
currently plays as a transportation resource for the community. It is also ~ust as important to have a clear
vision of how the airport should develop over time in order for it to remain an asset to the city,
To this end, the consultant team involved in the Kenai Municipal Airport - Supplemental Plarlning
Analysis, would like to recommend that the City Council adopt an Airport Mission Statement to infer
some order of priorities in how services are delivered at Kenai Municipal, and a Vision Statement as
description of a preferred future for the airport.
BACKGROUND
A strategic plan is a method of deternvning the most effective use of an airport's investment and capital
opportunities. It is a document that shapes all other plans: facilities development, personnel, financlal and
so on. The underlying framework of the strategic plan is to assess the airport with~n the context of the
External Environment, Internal Activities and Financial Targets.
The External Environment relates to the airport's business environment, the trends within the aviation
industr}~, the airport's customer base and root-cause analysis; that is, understanding the causes of trends
that have been identified. Internal Activities include operating activities, organization, s~ategy and staff.
Financial Targets relate to return on investment, operating margins, capital intensity revenue growth, and
cash flow.
Simply put, strategic planning determines where an organization is going over long-term, how it's going
to get there and how it'll know if it got there or not. The focus of a strategic plan is usually on the entire
organization, while the focus of a business plan is usually on a particular servlce or program.

~ Supplemental Planning Analysis
PURPOSE
The purpose of preparing a strategic plan is to:
l. Clearly define the purpose of Kenai Municipal Airport and to establish realistic goals and objectives
consistent with that mission in a defined time frame within the airport's capacity for implementarion.
2. Communicate those goals and objectives to the community.
3. Develop a sense of ownership of the plan.
4. Ensure the most effective use is made of the airport's resources by focusing the resources on the key
priorities.
S. Provide a base from which progress can be measured and establish a mechanism for informed change
when needed.
6. Building a consensus about the direction the airport is taking.
In summary, a strategic plan provides for clearer focus for the Kenai Municipal Airport and provides a
bridge between the Kenai Airport staff, City staff and the City Council.
MISSION STATEMENT
At its most basic, the mission statement describes the overall purpose of Kenai Municipal Airport. Its
purpose is to clearly separate the mission of the Kenai Municipal Airport from other airports in the KPB.
It is also often helpful to clarify the mission statement by a list of key strategic directions. The purpose of
developing a list of key strategic directions is to infer some order of prionties in how services are
delivered.
The recommended Mission Statement for Kenai Municipal Airport:
The primary mission of Kenai Municipal Airport is to be the commercial a~'~
'' ' ' '' air transportation gateway to the
Kenai Peninsula Borough and West Cook Inlet.
The recommended list of Key Strategic Directions:
• Maximize Kenai Municipal Airport's potential as a scheduled passenger, air taxi~~

- VISIUN STATEMENT
A Vision Statement is a description of a preferred future. It draws on the beliefs, mission, and
environment of an organization.
The recommended Vision of Kenai Municipal Airport is:
A strong air transportation ~ ce=with scheduled p~ger and rar~o air
carriers serving multiple destinations,_ ' _' ' '
... . .
' • supported by a well managed landside
development t~ro~r~am that will generate long-term revenue streams and protect the
airport environs from encroachment of incompatible land uses.
Ideally, this vision statement will identify a direction and purpose for Kenai Municipal Airport and alert
the community and stakeholders to needed change.
ACTION PLANNING
'The Action Plannin~ portion of the strate~ic plan is based around the concepts of ~oa(s, objectives and
strate~ies. Goals can be defined as a statement of the lon~-term results_tl~at management expects to
achieve at Kenai Munici~al; ~~hile ob~ectives are specific accomplishments to be achieved alon~ t_ he wav
to obtaining the lon~-term Qoals. Both the ~oals and the objectives must be in keepin~ ~~ith the airport's
missian and vision statements. Strate~ies are the actual actions empla,yed to achi~ve the air~ort's various
~oals and objectives.
T}~is ~ortian of the ~lan is still in deveiopment and is contin e~ nt upon the approval af an airport mission
statement and vision statement. Once the airport mission statement and vision statements are approved, a
series of goals a~~d abjectives will be developed that will recon~mend specific actions that ~vill need to be
implemented. For exam~(e, a goal uf the airport derived tram the mission statement may be to: "Maintain
the ~inancial Viability of the Air~ort''; ~~~hile a key objective associated ~~ith this ~oal is to " Adopt
~irport management business practices to co~l~pl,y ~4~ith F~A requirement~ and established U1duSt1'V
practi.ces." Another oa~ i mav be to: `''Viaintain the Ahilit,y~ ot' the Airport to Accommodate Lon -t~, erm

plan that protects th~ air~ort from encroachment of incompatible uses.''

Supplemental Planning Assessrnent
Phase 2: Airport Land Use Plan
AIRPORT LEASING PRQGRAM 1AIRPORT REGULATI4NS
CHANGE lMPLEMENTATI4N DISCUSSiQN
July 26, 2005 Airport Commission Work Session
I have completed most of the research and anaiysis work related to the City of Kenai's
airport land leasing program and airport regulations. The next majorstep is
implementation of changes. However, we cannot progress to that stage without some
specific guidance from the City Council and Airport Commission. The purpose of this
issues paper is to stimuiate open discussion at the July 26, 2005 Airport Commission
work session and obtain decisions, at least in concept, as to the direction we should
take in developing the implementation details.
Stephen L. Pavish
July 25, 2005
1. Airport Reserve. In past meetings, we have recommended the establishment of an
Airport Reserve of sufficient size to meet the future physical and economic needs of the
airport. Land within the Reserve would be made available for lease, but never sold.
Airport land outside the reserve could be sold or leased at the Cit 's discretion with the
Y
proceeds being deposited into the airport fund. Establishing the reserve would require
amendments to the Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) to describe the reserve boundaries,
prohibit land sales, and define the leasing policies for land within the reserve.
Discussion Question: Shall we continue to refine the proposed boundaries of
an airport reserve and draft recommendations for appropriate changes to the
KMC?
~ 2. Plattinq Exemption. We have recommended that the City should negotiate with
,) . , , , , .
~~ Kenai Peninsula Borough to obtain an exemption from borough platting requirements for
all land within the Airport Reserve. Since the land will never be sold and all land uses
will remain underthe City's direct supervision as airport operator, there is no need for
Airport Reserve lands to be platted. Eliminating the platting step would reduce the time
required to issue a lease and significantly increase the City's flexibility in establishing
and changing lease lot dimensions to meet the changing needs af existing lessees and
new applicants. If the City obtained the exemption, some KMC changes will likely be
necessary to establish basic survey requirements and a procedure for making lease lot
d~mension decisions.
Discussion Question: Is the City willing to pursue this course of action?
3. New Land Rental Rate Settinq 1 Ad~ustment Program. UUe have recommended
that the City establish, at least for land within the Airport Reserve, a new system for
setting land rental rates by conducting an airport-wide appraisal every five years and
applying CPI-based adjustments during each of the years between appraisals. Such a
system would reduce costs and simplify the rent adjustment process. Some KMC
amendments are being drafted to implement such a system.
Discussion Question: Shall we continue to develop recommendations for code
changes and internal procedures needed to implement a shift to this new rent
adjustment system?
4. Appraisal Review bv the FAA. We have recommended the City stop the existing
practice of submitting lease appraisals to the FAA for approval. The staff of the FAA,
Alaska Region, Airports Division has informally expressed a reement with this
9
recommendation. This would result in a saving of time and money for both the City and
the FAA, but it would not relieve the City of its obligations under AIP grant assurances
and otherfederal requirements to maintain a fair and equitable system of land rent.
Discussion Question; Shall we draft recommendations for formalizing the
termination of the FAA appraisal review process?
5. Guidelines for Settinq the Length of Lease Terms; To set the term of each new
lease, the City has been using the lease term guidelines in the State's rural airport
regulations ~17 AAC 45.225~. Although that regulation has only been in place since
2002, the State's administrative use of the same term guidelines dates back to the mid-
1990's. After roughly ten years of construction cost inflation, the investment amounts
required in the guidelines for given lengths of term are too low, Off the record, State
DOT&PF airport leasing officials have acknowledged this fact and plan to increase the
investment requirements in a future revision of their regulations.
In addition, the State's term guidelines extend atl the way out to 55 years, which is
substantially longerthan the airport industry norm of 25 to 35 years. The rural airport
regulations were adopted to provide for terms up to 55 years in response to a statute
passed in 1996 [AS 02,15.090(c)J. That law rovides air ort lessees with an almost
P p
perpetual right of renewal and allows lessees to retain ownership of buildings and other
improvements for as long as they hold a lease and continue to renew. Neither the Cit
. , ., . . , , , y
of Kenai nor the Kenai Municipal Airport is sub~ect to this statute, so there is no
requirement for the City to grant leases for such long terms.
I recommend the City adopt, by code or regulation, a set of term guidelines in which the
investment requirements are increased by at least 50% and the maximum term is set at
2
35 years, which is more than adequate to support amortization and financing of lessee-
constructed improvements.
Discussion Question; Should we draft a set of revised lease term uidelines
9
and recommendations for appropriate KMC revisions?
6. Municipal Code I Lease Provision Chanqes. Since the KMC includes some
specific requirements for airport leases, changing the City's lease form would re uire
~ ~ ,. q
changes in the code. In my ~udgement, there are a number of revisions needed in the
lease form ~and the KMC) in the areas of
- applicant qualifications;
- subleases;
- lessee performance requirements;
- lessee investment commitments; and
- environmental contamination.
Some editing and clarification of intent in other provisions are also needed. At the Jul
. . , , Y
26, 2005 work sess~on, I will outline my change recommendat~ons.
Discussion Question: Shall we draft KMC and lease provision changes as
outlined?
7. Airport Regulation Changes. The City's existing airport regulations are in need of
fairly extensive clarification and updating, especially in the areas of
- aircraft registration;
- aircraft operations;
- vehicle operations; and
- general information.
ln addition, new sections are needed to address issues, such as
- fuel spill prevention and response;
- environmental contamination;
- airport security; and
- rules for aircraft transporting explosives or other high-hazard car o.
, , , , , 9
Also, consolidating all user fees into a singie, separate section should be considered to
make fee obligations more clearly understood by airport users and more convenientl
, Y
amended by the City.
I will be meeting with the City Attorney and the Airport Manager on Jul 27th to obtain
, Y
~nput from them on how the current regulations are enforced and which provisions the
, , l~
see as obsolete. After the meeting, I will draft recommended regulation revisions.
Discussion Question; Do City Council /Airport Commission members have
any suggestions for regulation changes?
~
~ 8, Buildin S ace to 0 en S ace Relationshi , I was ask '
N e~ t~ ~r~vi~e
recommendations regarding the minimum amount of open space required to ade uatel
. , , , , q Y
. serve a building on leased airport land. In my career in charge of the State's air ort
P
3
property leasing program, the building space to open space relationship th~t ~ras the
most successful (for both the state and the lessees) was:
Total buiiding square footage (a!i floors) may not exceed 35% of the totai area of
the lot.
The application of this guideline resulted in lease lots with adequate open space to
accommodate aircraft and vehicle maneuvering and parking, cargo staging, snow
storage, and fuel storage. It was equally useful for application to both aviation and non-
aviation leases, Compared to older lease areas with smaller lots, land leased under this
guideline generated significantly reduced aircraft and vehicle congestion, airport tenant
conflicts, and airport M& 0 costs.
The State has not adopted this guideline in regulation, but it was used administratively
for many years whenever lease applications and tenant construction proposals were
considered.
Discussion Question: Would the adoption of this guideline be useful at Kenai
Municipa! Airport?
9. Airport Land Development Insentives. Previously, we explored alternatives for
the City to provide airport land development incentives to tenants without violating FAA
requirements. We were able to recommend only two incentive plans. The first, was a
waiver of the City's property tax on leasehold improvements during the initial years of a
lease involving a significant lessee investment in improvement construction. For
discussion purposes, we suggest a City property tax waiver for the first three years
following the lessee's completion of permanent improvements costing at least $500,000.
The second incentive sugges#ion was to use funds from the City's airport land system
trust fund to construct basic infrastructure for lease lots, such as structural gravel fill,
access road, sewer 1 water extensions, etc. The City's investment would be recovered
through a rent surcharge over a reasonable period of the lease term.
Discussion Question: Should we draft recommendations for code revisions to
implement these incentives?
10. Minimum Standards for Aviation Service Providers. it is fairly common for
airport operators to adopt minimum requirements for all parties who want to provide
aviation services on the airport. Minimum standards often include such things as
minimum lot and building sizes, hours of operation, insurance requirements, required
services to be provided, minimum staffing levels, and lease applicant experience and
financial quali~cations. In short, minimum standards establish the threshold entry
requirements for anyone who wants to provide aeronautical services on an airport.
They also set the standards for continuing service by existing aviation service providers.
Minimum standards provide a uniform basis for evaluating an aeronautical applicant's
request to operate at the airport and help to assure a"level playing field" for all aviation
service providers.
The adoption and uniform application of minimum standards also aids an airport
operator in complying with their obligations under AIP grant assurances regarding
4
airport users. That is, the obligations to establish "fair, equal, and not un'usti
, , , „ , , 1 Y
discriminatory requirements for aii users of the airport and to allow the use of the
airport "by ail classes of aeronauticaf use on fair and reasonable terms without
discrimination".
Adopting minimum standards are a"best business practice" for an air ort o erator.
„ P p
Minimum standards are common at airports in the Lower 48. However, to m
. , , , , ~
knowledge, Juneau International Airport is the only airport in Alaska that has ado ted
„ p
minimum standards, by name. The State's airport system doesn't have minimum
standards, per se, but their leasing and airport operating regulations perform essentiall
~ ~ ,, y
the same function. The KMC includes some features of a minimum standards
document, such as uniform lease application processing procedures, insurance
requirements, and lease requirements. However, KMC does not encom ass all the
p
features necessary to function as minimum standards.
Discussion Question; Should we draft minimum standards forthe Cit ?
Y
11. Airport Zone. Previously, we have recommended the adoption of a broadl
' « ' ~ ~ , ~
defined Airport Zone to accommodate all potential airport-related land uses within the
Airport Reserve. In its role as landlord, the City has direct control over an air ort
, , , p
tenant s use of land. Considering that and the fact that land within the Air ort Reserve
. p
would never be sold, there is no real need to apply conventional zonin ciassifications
, g
and procedures to the Airport Reserve.
Discussion Question: Should we draft specific recommendations for an Air ort
P
Zone?
12. Dele ation of Authorit and Res onsibilit for the Air ort. One of the most
universally accepted principles of organizational efficiency is to dele ate authorit and
. .. g Y
responsibility to the lowest com et v The CEO of a Fortune 500 cor oration
P
may be a completely nt accountant and typist, but keepin the cor oration's
~ . , . , g P
books or typing his own management pol~cy directives would not be the hi hest and
, , . , ,. 9
best use of his time. Delegating the responsibility for these duties to others allows the
CEO to devote his full time to the leadership functions that only he can erform.
. P
Following the same example, the CEO knows nothing about the hi hl s ecialized field
, , 9YP
of market analysis. Were he to attempt to do his own market anal sis work the results
Y ~
for the company would be poor. On the other hand, takin the trainin necessa to
9 9 ry
become fully competent in the market analysis field would leave some of his essential
CEO duties undone.
4pera#ing airports has become an increasingly complex and s ecialized business since
p
the federal government transferred ENA to the City of Kenai in 1963. S ecialized
, , , p
knowledge and focus is necessary to remain current in the:
- changing federal regulations forAlP grants, airport operations, and aviation
security;
- rapid shifts within the commercial aviation industry;
- advances in airport technology, and
~
- airport marketing techniques.
5
Many municipai governments have found it impossible, within their normal
administrative framework, to achieve the speciaiized attention airports require. For that
reason, the trend has been for municipal governments to establish an operating board
or port authority to assume full responsibility fortheir local airports. Six of the airports
incfuded in the ENA comparison study ~Juneau, Pendleton, Pullman, Walla UUalla,
Vllenatchee, & Yakima) have gone through this kind of transition.
The Kenai Municipal Airport may not yet have achieved a high enough business volume
or traffic levei to justify the establishment of a fully independent airport board. However,
it appears that some significant improvements in efficiency and effectiveness could be
gained by a delegation of authority and responsibility to lower levels where more
specialized airport expertise and focus exists ~or could be developed). This is not ta say
that those involved in the existing system are incompetent or doing a poor job. But, it is
to suggest that some increased delegation of authority and changes in organization
could produce long-term benefits for the airport and the City. A suggested delegation I
reorganization based on best business practice concepts is presented below.
Discussion Questions: Does the City wish to explore the delegation concept
presented below? Or, another delegation concept? Should we draft a more
detailed delegation / re-organization recommendation and transition outline?
Conceptual Delegation ! Reorganization of Authority & Responsibility for the
Airport.
CitY Council. Regarding the airport, the Council would retain final decision authority
for:
- The airport operating budget;
- The airport capital improvement project (CIP~ budget;
- Airport Master Plans and land use plans;
- Airport-related changes to the KMC;
- Land rental rate policy ~Rent ad justment methodology};
- Appeals of Airport Commission decisions; and
- Revision and repeal of airport regulations.
Reconstituted Airport Commission. The cornmission would change from an
advisory group to a deliberative body with decision-making responsibilities. To avoid
conflict of interest problems, this change would necessitate a membership with wider
community representation than is required by the current KMC. Direct airport users
would have to be kept in the minority. For example, a reconstituted 7-member
commission membership could be:
- One aviation service provider at the airport;
- One lessee of aviation land or terminal space at the airport;
- One owner of a non-commercial aircraft based at the airport;
- Four at-large members representing the business and professional
community, but having no direct financial interest in an aircraft, airline,
aviation service provider, or land or terminal space lessee on the airport.
6
Conceptual delegations to a Reconstituted Airport Commission include:
- Recommending the airport operating budget to the Council;
- Recommending the airport CIP budget to the Council;
- Approval of expenditures within the scope of budgets approved by the
Council;
- Preparing and updating airport master plans and land use plans ~forap roval
, P
by the Council);
- Making recommendations to the Council for changes to airport-related
sections of the KMC,
- Adoption of airport regulations;
- General oversight of airport operations, terminal operations, and land use;
- Promoting and marketing the airport;
- Responsibility for all decisions related to leasing land within the Airport
Reserve, including approval I rejection of lease applications, lease
amendments, lease assignments, subleases, and lessee construction
proposals; and decisions related to lease terminations;
- Adopting land rental rates using methods established by the Council;
- Adopting / changing airport user fees;
- Hearing appeals of Airport Managerdecisions; and
- Make a!I land use decisions within the Airport Reserve. ~Note: This would
involve a transfer of land use authority from the Planning & Zoning
Commission, but arrangements could be made for the Airport Commission
to receive advice from the City's Planning & Zoning administrative
personnel.)
Airport Manager. Conceptual new delegations to the Airport Mana er include:
9
Designated point of contact for all land lease applications, lease
amendments, lease assignments, subleases, and lessee construction
proposais;*
Primary responsibility for negotiating the terms of land leases and lease
amendments with applicants ~with assistance from the City Attorney);*
Responsibility for lease premises inspections and lease enforcement;*
*NOTE: This does not necessarily mean the airport mana er or the mana er's
, 9 9
staff would write the actual lease documents or lease enforcement letters. Some
or all of those duties could remain with the Assistant to the Cit Mana er.
, Y 9
However, the airport managerwould, underthe general direction of the Air ort
, , , , , , , p
Commission, provide direction for the actions described.

Subject: Vehicle Pedestrian Deviations (VPDs) on the Rise! ~
All Concerned,
Runway Incursions hit an all-time high during the month of July 2005. At this moment , we are in
jeopardy of exceeding the total number of Vehicle and Pedestrian Deviations (VPDs) given for calendar
year 2004. As the FAA Administrator (Marion Blakey) expressed this morning during her monthly
teleconference, we (FAA, Airport sponsors, aviation groups, i.e.) need to increase our campaign over the
next couple of months to prevent or reduce the number of VPDs across nation; thus providing a fertile
ground for increase/enhance safety in the aviation and public arenas. I know we have engaged in a
vigorous campaign with the state, local community and public/ private agencies to bring about positive
change on the VPD issue during the year; and over the past eight months, we have been very successful
as a team towards reducing the number of VPDs in the Alaskan Region. However, the current trend
shows the reported number of VPDs across the nation is on the rise. This is not a positive indicator for
the nation or the Alaskan Region because it decreases the probability of airports maintaining the
minimum level of aviation/public safety for aircraft operations.
For the record, we know it is a tough job maintaining control of vehicles and pedestrians on airports
because an airport is a complex place to conduct business. However, it is critical to airport operations
that everyone gets involved and assist the airports in reducing VPDs. Requesting your strongest support
to educate the public, airport tenants, vendors , and airport operations personnel on the importance of
adhering to airport vehicle operations policies and air traffic control instructions when operating on an
airport. Also, when VPD violators show a total disregard for state, local, or airport policy involving
vehicle and pedestrian operating policy on an airport, recommend using enforcement action to the fullest
as authorized in state and/or local statues. Please give this email your widest dissemination; and
thanks for all of your support on this VPD matter throughout the year. Call~sign:Maverick
