Subject: Resolution 2012 -D7-
A national mandate requiring public safety frequencies to be narrow - banded has created several
communications problems on the airport. During the recent December 2011 certification
inspection, the FAA observed communication difficulties between the Kenai Fire Department and
Airport Operations. The Airport received a Letter of Correction to correct this problem by January
30, 2012.
The Airport has applied for its own frequency and will need to replace seven(7) existing radios not
narrow -band capable. The new frequency and the new radios will correct the communication
problems.
The Airport has contingency funds available for this unbudgeted expense.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
