impoundment purposes. Inconvenience or damage that may result from such movement
will be at the risk of Permittee. An impoundment fee plus a towage fee shall be charged
on each aircraft impounded. In addition, a daily storage fee shall be charged for each day
the aircraft remains impounded. Any impounded aircraft that is not redeemed within ninety
(90) days after impoundment shall be considered abandoned and shall be subject to sale at

MEMORANDUM
TO: Airport Commission
FROM: Derek Ables, Airport Manager
DATE: April 2, 2024
SUBJECT: Airport Mid-month Report March 2024
Alaska Regional Fire Training Facility – Airport Management gave a tour to Cook Inlet
Regional Citizens Advisory Council, CIRCAC. They rented out the conference space and
wanted to learn more about the facility.
In-house Activities
• The float plane basin gate was closed to begin filling the water runway. The
airport will plan to open it in the middle of May.
• Luke Barto, the wildlife biologist, visited to conduct training, ensuring compliance
with FAA Part 139 regulations. His expertise in wildlife management is crucial for
maintaining safe airport operations. The training covered techniques to mitigate
wildlife hazards, such as bird strikes, which can pose serious risks to aircraft.
These proactive measures help ensure the safety of both passengers and wildlife
in and around the airport environment.
• The job posting for Airport Operations Supervisor was posted. The Airport
Operations supervisor role is a crucial position for the airport. They are
responsible for overseeing and coordinating various aspects of airport operations
to ensure efficiency and compliance with safety regulations. Key responsibilities
include supervising and coordinating the activities of airport personnel, snow
removal activities, managing airport facilities and equipment, ensuring
compliance with airport security measures, and resolving operational issues as
they arise.
• Grant Aviation recently moved their counter spaces within the Airport Terminal.
This not only improves current operations, but also creates room for potential
17

Airport Mid-Month Report
Page 2 of 2
growth. By optimizing their space, Grant Aviation can accommodate increasing
passenger numbers and potentially expand their services in the future. This
strategic move positions Grant Aviation for continued success.
• The contractor has been working on removing the beetle kill spruce trees around
the area by the float plane basin.
