Rates and Fees at Airport
This memo is in response to the attached letters concerning implementation of
the new fees at the airport.
The City of Kenai, as the owner and operator of the airport, has the legal
obligation to maintain a rates and fees schedule that makes the airport as self-
sustaining as possible under the circumstances existing at the airport.
The airport has been operating with large deficits consisting of: -$871,968 in
FY2004; -$727,730 in FY2005, -$685,702 in FY2006; and -$623,237 in FY2007.
Recognizing that airport reserves will not sustain these large operating losses,
City and Airport administration is attempting to identify and establish Tong-term
goals that will reduce these deficits and allow the airport to meet the ever-
increasing operation costs of the Kenai Municipal Airport.
Implementation of a fuel flowage fee is expected to raise about $65,000 a year.
Our fuel flowage fee of three cents a gallon ($.03) is consistent with Ted Stevens
and Fairbanks International Airports who charge $0.027 a gallon. Juneau
International Airport's fuel flowage fee is $0.13.
www.KenaiAirport.com
Our landing fee increased from $.50 to $1 per thousand pounds "certified take-off
weight (CGTOW)". This is well below Ted Stevens and Fairbanks International
Airports who charge $1.52 CGTOW and Juneau International Airport who
charges $1.81 CGTOW.
Fuel flowage fees and landing fees are actually user fees and a commonly
accepted and fair method to raise airport revenues without placing the entire
burden on local airport tenants since revenue is also provided by transient
aircraft using the airport.
The new rate and fee schedule was approved at the May 20, 2008 Council
meeting. Airport Administration faxed notification to airport users the week of
June 2, 2008. A revised landing fee report form was sent June 23, 2008.
www. KenaiAirport.com
July 16, 2008
Mayor Pat Porter
City of Kenai
310 Rogers Road
Kenai, AK 99611
Dear Mayor Porter:
The Kenai airport has recently doubled the airport landing fee from $0.50 per 1000
pounds CMGTW to $1.00 per 1000 pounds CMGTW and has also implemented a $0.03
per gallon fuel flowage fee for all fuels delivered to the Kenai airport. I would like to
respectfully request that you and the city council seriously reconsider theses significant
fee increases. I believe these fees may actually result in less revenue, and will certainly
negatively impact the long term viability of airport based operations.
It is unfortunate that I'm coming to you after these fee changes have already been
approved. However, the first direct notice of the landing fee increase I received was a fax
from Mary Bondurant on June 26'" noting that the increase was effective as of June 2„a
As for the fuel flowage fee, the only notice given was to the fuel distributors, I first heard
about the fuel flowage fee from our fuel vendor, again after the fact.
As you are doubtlessly aware, this is a very difficult and challenging time for those of us
in the aviation business. At the present time there are only four "for profit" commercial
aircraft operators based at the Kenai airport. As of this August one of these operators, the
Alaska Flying Network, will be closing. down. Of the remaining three "for profit" aircraft
operators on the field, only one, Kenai Aviation, currently owns facilities on airport
leased land. The other two operators, ourselves and. Evert's Air Fuel, are currently sub-
leasing operating facilities and ramp space and are in the evaluation process of where to
locate permanent facilities.
Of the three comparable airports on the Kenai Peninsula, Kenai, Soldotna, and Homer,
Kenai is the only one to have either landing fees or a fuel flowage fee. In fact Kenai is the
only airport in the state of comparable size and. operations to have either of these fees in
place. Also, I believe that applying the fuel flowage fee to all fuelthat enters the airport,
instead of only aircraft wing fuel, places an inequitable fee burden an operators
transporting fuel as cargo from the Kenai airport.
As noted above, I do not believe that these fees as currently implemented are in the best
interests of the Kenai airport or those who wish to continue commercial operations from
the Kenai airport. This is of particular concern since even with the increased fees, the
projections for the Kenai airport budget are for a deficit of $450,035 in FY 2008
increasing to a deficit of $542,540 in FY 2009. Of further concern is that these fee
increases come in addition to a recent increase in the City of Kenai sates tax.
I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you. at your earliest convenience to further
discuss my concerns, as well as other ideas to improve the Tong term viability and
business environment at the Kenai airport.
Sincerely,

I2E: Fee hnplomentafion Concerns
Dear Mayor Porter:
As a business owner in the State o£ Alaska, specifically within the City of Kenai, I am
growing more and more concerned with the rising costs of doing business. In particular,
the recent increase in the cost of landing fees and the implementation of fuel flowage
fees.
The notification for the landing £ee increase of 100% was received on or about June 25,
2008 and the increase was effective June 2, 2008. The same situation occurred with the
implementation of the fuel flowage fees in that notice was received after the fees were
aheady in place. Neither I nor other business owners affected were given the opportunity
to express our concerns or address the implementation of these increases such that they
would be implemented fairly and consistently.
In the instance of fuel flowage fees, the fees at other State of Alaska airports, such as
Fairbanks, axe implemented strictly on into wing fuel. There is no fuel flowage fee for
fuel loaded into the belly of the aircraft as cargo. The inconsistency with the fuel
flowage fee in TCenai is that the fee is being charged on all fuel, wing or bulk, and affects
only those carriers transporting fuel. Those entities transporting othertypes of cargo are
not being charged for the cargo they are hansparting.
The City of Kenai also implemented an increase in sales tax rates. This tax is charged on
all pm'chases and fees which. results in payment of sales tax and fuel flowage fees on the
fuel purchased to operate the aircraft and also on the fuel loaded as cargo to be
tfansported to other Alaskan businesses. Further, a sales tax is also charged in addition to
the landing fees.
The additional fees are further creating concern with the in#ention to deuelop further
within the City of Kenai. My intention has been to improve and increase the facilities
that I maintain on airport property which will not only improve my business conditions

but also the City of Kenai. and the airport property in the process. However, this further
develepment is concerning as the costs continue to move out of contxnl. I am unable to
commit to further development and enhavicements if I am unable to manage the costs at
the location I intend to improve.
I would like to request the City Council of Kenai. reconsider the recent changes thathave
been made and the increased harden that is being placed an Alaskans all over the state as
a result. All comrnunitles of Alaska must work together to get through this current
economic trial.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
