Subject: IP Annual KPAF- Baud Participation
Please review the attached email informing us that the military band is no longer
available to participate in the event due to deactivation by the Air Force.
The military band was a major attraction and played an enormous part in the afternoon
activities at the Kenai Airport. There was relatively no expense for their participation
except treating them to lunch and a souvenir air fair t -shirt.
We are looking for ideas or suggestions on how to fill this hole in our event.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 283 -7951.

SUBJECT: Review of City Commissions, Commiftees and Council on Aging
The City Council has tasked the City Clerk, Attorney, and Manager to analyze the structure,
duties, operations, and responsibilities of the City of Kenai's boards, committees, commissions
and councils.' The goal is to more accurately identify the duties, roles and responsibilities of
each body, provide for enhanced communication between the bodies with the Council and
Administration, and suggest any structural modifications that will provide additional support and
efficiencies to better serve the public. The final product will likely be a recommendation to
change certain code provisions, policies, regulations and/ or by -laws.
The first step in this process is to solicit information from the current bodies for consideration.
The questions below are intended to be answered by each body after discussion in an open
meeting. Any additional specific information regarding the function of each body as to what
works well and what does not is appreciated. The Administration intends to attend a meeting of
each body for further discussion.
Discussion Topics and Questions
A. Duties & Responsibilities
1. What are the duties and responsibilities of your group?
2. Should duties /responsibilities be added, deleted or better described?
3. Should some functions be assigned to subcommittees?
' The City's Personnel Board, Board of Adjustment and Board of Appeals will be addressed separately.

procedures or by -laws?

5. Does the City have too many commissions and committees?
C. Memberships
1. Should the number of members of your body be reduced?
2. Should all members be required to be Kenai residents?
3. If groups are merged how would the members be determined?
D. Meeting Schedules
1. Should the frequency of meetings be changed?
2. Should all be required to meet at City Hall?
E. Attendance
1. What is an excused v. unexcused absence?
2. Is retaining that distinction valuable?
3. Should the body handle absences, or should that fall to the Clerk (with specific
direction) or the Council?
4. Do a certain number of absences require removal from the body? If so, who
makes that determination?
5. What notice should a member provide if they cannot attend and should notice
requirements be different if an absence is excused or unexcused?
F. Recruitment and Retention of Committee Members
1. Would reduction of the number of bodies help in member recruitment?
2. Should recruitment for all bodies be consistent?
3. Should the City advertise vacancies in the newspaper or only on city website?
G. Council Liaison /Ex- Officio /Recorder
1. What are the duties of the Council Liaison/ Ex- Officio/ recorder?
2. Is it helpful to have these persons attend the meetings?
3. Should their duties and roles expand, contract or stay the same?
H. _Agendas & Packets

Municipal Airport
Airport Improvement Program:
January 2013
Airport Manager's
Report
Master Plan — The Phase I report is at the FAA under final review and approval of the
forecasting. Phase II which includes Facility Requirements, Alternatives and
Environmental Conditions and Impacts has begun.
Tree Obstruction Clearing Proiect: The FAA is conducting their final review of the plans
and specs. The private property owners have been eliminated from the project. The
project will be bid when approved by the FAA.
Airfield Marking — Plans and specs are complete and the City's front -end bid documents
are being prepared by the Airport and City Administration. The project will be advertised
and bid with painting to start next summer.
In -house Projects:
DIRECT -ENTRY DIGITAL NOTAMs: The Airport is now using FAA Web -based
software to directly enter Surface Area NOTAMs into the United States NOTAM System
(USNS) and by -pass the Flight Service Station. This allows for quick and easy issuance
of NOTAMs, improved NOTAM management, and instant validation feedback. It
improves safety and efficiency when relaying NOTAM information to pilots. The
transition was seamless and should this new system be out -of- service for any reason,
the Airport can still revert back to filing NOTAMS through the Flight Service Station.
FAA Part 139 Certification Inspection: The FAA Certification Inspector will conduct
the annual inspection at the Kenai Airport from January 15 -18, 2013. The inspector will
review ARFF training curriculum and personnel training records, basic emergency
medical care training curriculum and certificates, quarterly inspection records of airport
fuelers, the airport emergency control plan, triennial exercise documentation, airport
daily inspection forms and corrective actions, and any records of accidents or incidents
on movement areas involving aircrafts or vehicles.
Winter Snow Removal Operations: Thank you to the Airport Crew who plowed on
Christmas Day! Era Alaska had nine scheduled flights and we were hit with heavy
snowfall.
FY14 Budget — Airport staff is concentrating on the budget and will have a departmental
budget to Finance by January 25.
