25
Special Use Permit—DNR/Forestry (Parking) Page 6 of 8
19. No Waiver. Failure to insist upon a strict compliance with the terms, conditions,
and requirements herein contained, or referred to, shall not constitute or be construed as a
waiver or relinquishment of the right to exercise such terms, conditions, or requirements.
20. Personality. Permittee shall remove any and all personal property, including all
vehicles, from the Premises at the termination of this Permit (or any renewal thereof).
Personal property placed or used upon the Premises will be removed and/or impounded by
the City, if not removed upon termination of this Permit and when so removed and/or
impounded, such property may be redeemed by the owner thereof only upon the payment

remains uncured after notice by City to Permittee providing Permittee with a reasonable
time period under the circumstances to correct the violation or breach.
22. Landing Fees; Fee Schedule. Timely payment of landing fees and other required
Airport fees is a condition of this Permit and, as such, failure to timely pay landing and
other airport fees is grounds for termination. Without limiting the foregoing, Permittee

of rates, charges and fees. Permittee shall make payment within 30 days following the end
of each month and without demand or invoicing from City. Permittee shall also provide

23. Impoundment. At the discretion of the Airport Manager, City may impound any
aircraft parked on the Premises after termination of this Permit. Impoundment may be
accomplished by affixing a seal to the door of the aircraft or the moving of the aircraft for
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 90
days after impoundment shall be considered abandoned and shall be subject to sale at

• Ordinance Memo Airport Manager
MEMORANDUM
TO: Airport Commission
FROM: Derek Ables, Airport Manager
DATE: April 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3464-2025 - Amending Kenai Municipal Code 21.05.085 - Airport
Fuel Flowage Fee, to Remove the Set Amount in Code and Instead Refer to the
Annually Updated Schedule of Rates Charges and Fees.
This memo supports removing the exact amount of the fuel flowage fee from code and referring
to the rate established in the Schedule of Rates, Charges and Fees. This eliminates the
opportunity for conflict between the two sources of information and allows the fuel flowage fee to
be reviewed annually and updated if necessary.
If approved Section 21.05.085, paragraph (a) of Kenai Municipal Code- Airport Fuel Flowage Fee,
will be amended as follows:
(a) Any person, firm or corporation who delivers aviation gasoline, motor vehicle gasoline,
diesel fuel, kerosene, aviation jet fuel or like substance (hereafter referred to as fuel) to any
person, firm or corporation at the Kenai Municipal Airport shall pay a fuel flowage fee [OF
TWO CENTS ($0.02) FOR EACH GALLON OF FUEL] as established in the City’s Schedule of
Rates, Charges and Fees; provided that fuel delivered to the airport solely for transport off
the airport for delivery or resale to another entity is not subject to the fuel flowage fee.
Does Airport Commission recommend Council Amend Kenai Municipal Coded 21.05.085- Airport
Fuel Flowage Fee, to remove the set amount in code and instead refer to the annually updated
schedule of rates, charges, and fee?
