MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Derek Ables, Airport Manager
DATE: July 28, 2024
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3429-2024 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and
Appropriations in the Airport Improvements Capital Project Fund and
Accepting a Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration for the
Kenai Municipal Airport Mobile Test Foam System Equipment
Purchase.
The purpose of this memo is to request appropriation of funds from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) for ARFF vehicle portable test equipment.
The applied principle of this equipment is to measure the flow rates, which correspond to the
foam -concentrate flow rates, and calculate the foam solution percentage based on the flow rates
of each nozzle outlet. The NoFoam System, Model P, is the compact solution. It uses an external
water tank (supplied with the system), and is battery powered and is designed to perform the
same as the trailer -based system. The system will allow the City to meet its annual testing
requirements without discharging any chemicals.
Resolution 2024-18 previously authorized the acceptance of grant funding from the Federal
Aviation Administration of $34,950. 100% of the project is funded through the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (BIL).
Council's support is respectfully requested.
