Memo
To: Airport Commission
Thru: Mary Bondurant – Interim Airport Manager
Date: November 15, 2023
Subject: Extension – Beacon OHSS Special Use Permit
Beacon OHSS is requesting to extend the Special Use Permit on a month-to-
month basis under the same terms and conditions. The current Special Use
Permit expires December 31, 2023.
City and Airport Administration met with Beacon representatives on Thursday,
November 9th to discuss different options to accommodate Beacon and their
operation in the Alaska Fire Training Facility. A condition of the month-to-month
extension is to allow Beacon time to set up a different area for a collection site
instead of the exclusive use of one of the lobby bathrooms. Once a new
collection site is set the bathroom will be reopened for public use. The
representatives were given floor plans to review and will get back to the City.
Beacon currently leases 1,716 square feet of exclusive space and 2,250 square
feet of common use space.
Does Commission recommend Council approve the Special Use Permit
extension to Beacon OHSS?
