MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Eland Conway II, Airport Manager
DATE: December 22, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3266-2022 – Kenai Airport ARP Act Grant, Accepting
and Appropriating Airport Funds
Air travel remains well below pre-pandemic levels (ENA enplanements ↓30% compared to
2019)— airport concessionaires, and the aviation industry as a whole continue to suffer from the
many economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. These funds are critical to sustaining
the operation of the airport, regulatory compliance, and acceptable service levels.
Airport concessionaires are struggling or unable to meet the terms of their lease(s).
On December 14, 2021, the Kenai Municipal Airport (ENA) received Airport Rescue Grant Offer,
Grant No. 3-02-0142-070-2022, from the Federal Aviation Administration for funds under the
American Rescue Plan Act:
$1,719,887 – Funds may be used for costs related to operations, personnel, cleaning,
sanitization, janitorial services, combating the spread of pathogens at the airport, and
debt service payments.
ENA is anticipating a second Airport Rescue Grant Offer, Grant No. 3-02-0142-___-2022, from
the Federal Aviation Administration—before the January 12, 2022 deadline allowing a substitute
to this ordinance to be advertised—in the amount of $81,591. These funds provide relief from
rent and minimum annual guarantees to eligible in-terminal airport concessions.
Ordinance 3266-2022 provides legislative action designating authority for acceptance and
appropriation of grant funds.
Thank you for your consideration.
