Heavy equipment is being moved in.
• The Float Plane Basin will be drained and closed around October 15,

The basin will be opened again around May 15, 2007.
YTEM 6: NEW BUSINESS
6-a. Discussion -- 2007 Runway Construction Schedule vs. 2007 Air Fair
Discussion was held on the possible conflict of the runway construction project and the
2007 Air Fair in Kenai, i.e. should the project be funded for the runway rehab, the
runway will be closed and the parallel taxiway used as the runway, and the ramp wIll
be the taxiway?
Consensus of Commission was to not want cancel the Air Fair. Other options
discussed included using the CAP hangar for Kenai's portion, or holding the entire
event at the Soldotna Airport. The EAA will have their fly-in breakfast regardless of the
Air Fair. More discussion opportunities will be available as the project progresses and
the May event gets closer.
6-b. Discussion -- Taxiway Designations
Fhii Bryson, Wince-Corthell-Bryson -- Bryson explained the process behind the
naming of the current taxiways. Discussion followed during which the following
comments included:
• Commission wants a logical approach to the taxiway designations.
• Intersections need to be sequential with a "corxunonality."
• Parallel taxiway can be anything, but reserve four letters and make
adjustments as needed.
• This is a safety issue -- Local pilots will adjust but the airport is used as
flight training by Anchorage operators, and pilots from the lower 48.
Bryson will relay all comments to the Airport Manager, City Manager and report back.
Addition comments included:
• Questioned of a designated runway sign on the south end.
• There is no taxiway centerline from the new taxiway Alpha to taxiway
Lima. In low visibility it is hard to taxi without the line.
• Positive comments were also relayed to Wince-Corthell-Bryson on the new
parallel taxiway extension.
6-c. Recommendation -- Airport Terminal Office Space Lease Proposal/Space
Number 21
Upon review of the information provided, Commission concurred the agreement should
go forward.
MOTION:
Coainnissioner Porter MOVED to recommend to Council the City enter into an
agreement with Cloud & Ribelin Real Estates, LLC to rent Airport Terminal Space 21.
