The following is an analysis of the return on investment to the Airport Fund for construction of the Kenai Cotiuthouse Parking Lot. In order to complete the analysis the following assumptions were made: • Total Construction Cost $269,250 winch does not include contingency of $22,000. • Estimated value of improvements at lease termination $544,590 • Annual lease starting at $25,700 comprised of $13,100 for improvements and $12,600 based upon value of land. • Land assumed to increase in value by 15% between 2009- 2015, 2016-2020, and 2021-2025. Utilizing these assumptions the annual rate of return for the project is 6.08%. Meaning an investment by the Airport of $243,550 (construction costs less the first years lease payment) for twenty years that earns a rate of return equal to 6.08% over its entire life would be equivalent to the proposed construction project and long-term lease with the State of Alaska. The current rate of return for the City's and the Airport Fund is 2.41°/u. While T will not attempt to predict interest rates, I am comfortable saying there are no indications our investment retun would reach or surpass the rate of return for the project in the near future. Based upon the disparity between our current rate of return and the credit worthiness of the leasee, I believe investment in the project is in the best interest of the Airport Fiord.
