The applicant is requesting a term of 45 years and proposing an improvement amount of approximately $3,000,000 to erect a hangar and establish Fixed Base Operator (FBO) as well as install a fuel tank farm. Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 21.10.080(b) [Lease] Term Table, the maximum term for the proposed investment value is 45 years. The 30-day notice of competitive land lease application expired November 24, 2024. The City received no competing lease applications for the subject properties. The applicant intends to use the premises to establish a Southcentral headquarters, including an aircraft hangar for maintenance, storage, crew quarters and office space, as well as a fuel tank farm to support airport business and FBO operations. Everts does not currently hold any leases with the City of Kenai. A Preliminary Plat was approved by the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission on December 11, 2024 and passed by the Kenai Peninsula Borough Plat Committee on January 13, 2025 to merge the subject properties into a single approximately 4.499-acre parcel located within the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone. The subject properties total approximately 4.499 acres and are located within the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone. The intent of the ALI Zone is to protect the viability of the Kenai Municipal Airport as a significant resource to the community by encouraging compatible land uses and reducing hazards that may endanger the lives and property of the public and aviation users. The proposed headquarters and fuel storage is a permitted use in the ALI Zone as an Airport Compatible Use. Fuel storage and distribution will continue to promote the viability of the Kenai Municipal Airport. Furthermore, the proposed use is consistent with the 2016 Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan. It supports Goal 5 – Transportation, which has a vision for Kenai Municipal Airport as a gateway to the Kenai Peninsula. 6 Page 2 of 2 Does the Airport Commission recommend the City approve a lease application ENA, LLC for Lots 5A & 5B, FBO Subdivision No. 10 for the use of fuel service fixed-base operator and tank farm for a term of 45 years? The Kenai City Council will be notified of the Airport Commissions decision as part of their evaluation of the lease application. The Airport Commission makes their decision on lease applications based on the proposed developments compliance with the Airport Land Use Plan, Federal Aviation Administration regulations, Airport Master Plan, Airport Improvement Program assurances, and Airport operations. The Planning and Zoning Commission will also review the application and provide a recommendation to City Council. Thank you for your consideration.

As to any amount paid to others for personal injury or property damage with respect to which an act or omission of the City is a legal cause, notwithstanding Paragraph 1 of this section, the Lessee and the City shall reimburse each other according to the principles of comparative fault. If liability to a third party is subject to apportionment according to comparative fault under this provision, the Lessee and the City shall seek in good faith to achieve non-judicial 19 LEASE OF AIRPORT LANDS Page 12 of 31 agreement as to apportionment of fault as between themselves. This apportionment of liability between the City and the Lessee shall not be construed to affect the rights of any person who is not a party to this Lease. B.

Where specific limits are set, they will be the minimum acceptable limits. If the Lessee’s policy contains higher limits, the City will be entitled to coverage to the extent of the higher limits.

The City may, at intervals of not less than five years from the beginning date of the term of this Lease and upon written notice to Lessee, revise the insurance requirements required under this Lease.

CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS UNTIL PREMISES VACATED: The Lessee will continue to pay City rent after the expiration, termination, or cancellation of this lease and to abide by the lease obligations, including providing proof of insurance coverage, through the date Lessee relinquishes possession of and completely vacates the Premises.

Restored the Premises to a neat and clean physical condition acceptable to the City. D. REASONABLE CURE: 1. In the case of a violation that cannot be reasonably cured within 30 days, a notice of cancellation issued by the City to the Lessee under this Article is stayed if, within the 30-day notice period, the Lessee begins and continues expeditious action to cure the violation. The City will determine if a violation cannot be reasonably cured within 30 days and what constitutes expeditious action. 2. In the case where, in City’s sole determination, Lessee’s violation is considered an imminent threat to the airport, public health or safety, or the environment, City will direct the Lessee to stop the activity immediately and may reduce the period to cure the violation, or the City may correct the violation pursuant to (E) of this Article. E. RIGHT OF CITY TO PERFORM: 1. If, after 30 days following notice the Lessee fails or refuses to perform any action required by this Lease, the City will have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any or all such actions required by this Lease at the sole expense of the Lessee. The City will not take action if the Lessee begins and continues expeditious action to perform any action required by this Lease that cannot be reasonably completed within 30 days. The City will, at its sole discretion, determine what constitutes expeditious action and if an action cannot be reasonably performed in 30 days. The City will submit to the Lessee an invoice for the expenses incurred by the City in the performance by the City of any required action. The Lessee will pay the amount of each invoice within 30 days from issuance. 23 LEASE OF AIRPORT LANDS Page 16 of 31 2. If Lessee fails or refuses to perform any action that has been deemed an imminent threat the City will have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any or all such actions required to expeditiously correct the imminent threat. Lessee shall reimburse the City for any cost, including legal fees and administrative costs reasonably incurred by the City in acting to correct the imminent threat violation. F. WAIVER: A waiver by the City of any default by the Lessee of any provision of this Lease will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default.

The waiver by the City of any provision in this Lease cannot be enforced or relied upon unless the waiver is in writing and signed on behalf of the City.

The Lessor will, by written notice, direct the departing Lessee to remove Lessee-owned Permanent Improvements from the Premises, to remediate, consistent with applicable law, any Contamination for which the Lessee is responsible and to restore the Premises to a clean and neat physical condition acceptable to the Lessor if the Lessor determines in writing: i. that the continued presence of the Permanent Improvements on the Premises are not consistent with any written Airport program or plan required for compliance with applicable federal, state, or local law; 27 LEASE OF AIRPORT LANDS Page 20 of 31 ii. that the continued presence of the Permanent Improvements on the Premises is not in the best interest of the City of Kenai; or iii. that the Permanent Improvements present a hazard to public health or safety. f. The departing Lessee to whom the Lessor has issued direction under Paragraph e of this Section shall comply with the Lessor's direction within 60 days after issuance of the direction and at no cost to the Lessor. If the departing Lessee shows good cause to the Lessor, continues to work diligently to comply with Lessor’s direction, and if it is not inconsistent with the best interest of the City of Kenai, the Lessor will allow in writing a longer period that is sufficient to allow the Lessee to comply with the Lessor’s direction.
