Subject: Fund Appropriation —Obstruction Tree Removal Project
The FAA issued a Letter of Correction to the Kenai Municipal Airport to remove tree obstructions that
penetrate the Part 77 surfaces and present a potential hazard to aviation. The letter gave the City a
correction date of September 30, 2013.
In order to keep the project moving forward in a timely order, an ordinance appropriating funds should be
included in the June 5, 2013 Council packet. Since the bid opening is not until May 29, 2013, the
ordinance will have an estimated project cost. After the bid opening and verification of the successful
bidder, a grant application with the actual project costs will be sent to the FAA for consideration. Upon
receipt of the FAA grant offer, a substitute ordinance will be included in the June 19, 2013 Council packet
for Council approval. The Obstruction Tree Removal Project is scheduled to begin after July 15, 2013
If you have any questions, please contact me.
