MEMO:
TO: City Council
FROM: Rick Koch
DATE: March 27, 2008
SUBJECT: Airport Reserve Rezone
The purpose of this correspondence is to transmit the minutes from the Planning and
Zoning Cormission (P & Z) meeting of March 12, 2008, regarding the above referenced
matter.
The Airport Commission requested that administration forward their request for a rezone
of property within the airport reserve from conservation and rural residential to light
industrial. Their request was forwarded to P & Z where the motion passed unanimously,
with one commissioner excused and one abstaining.
The administration recommends no action by the Council at this time. Administration is
negotiating with adjacent property owners about the purchase ofproperties to add to the
airport reserve, and future airport development patterns a1~e not 1alown. If rezoning is
required to support airport development it can be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Mary brough up u':e biii'noard add u~rzt we have used in the past. It , :'as decided to use ±his vehicle again. for otrr
advertising at a cost this year of $800.00. The color will be changed from red and blue to black and yellow to

and advertising.
Joe Halstead of Challenger put forth the idea of having KPAF hats for sale this year as well as the regular T-

for $250.00.

For last year's event, the float plane basin at the Kenai Airport was unavailable because of the construction
project. It will be available this year, so the float plane lakes will be included in the poker run event.

Volunteers will be needed for the poker table in Kenai. The tickets and the buckets need to be made and also
arrangements need to be made to deliver and pickup the buckets. Let Mary or Sharen know if you would like t~,
