Commissioners approved submission and then moved to recommend council approval of the commission’s 2024 annual report for submission to the city council; the motion was seconded and approved by unanimous consent.

Commissioners discussed implementation and administrative tasks related to the materials and thanked staff for preparing the reports.

Staff reported that two proposals were received; proposals were scored on qualifications, management plan, DBE certification and percentage of gross sales. Debbie's Food Services LLC received the higher score (reported in the transcript as “312 points”) and proposed to pay 12% of gross sales. Consolidated Development and Management received a lower score (reported as “240 points” in the transcript). The commission moved and seconded a recommendation to council; the motion passed by unanimous consent.

Staff described a maintenance fee charged to the city to upkeep equipment and noted a separate contractual provision intended to ensure vendors meet required hours. The transcript indicates a $200-per-week shortfall provision (described as $800 in a month if the vendor failed to meet required hours) and a start target of early April. The transcript does not specify the monthly maintenance-fee amount in dollars; it refers to “a thousand dollars” without a clear unit or whether that is a monthly or annual amount.

Commission discussion touched on operating hours and the potential for sit-down service to accommodate walk-in customers as well as travelers. Staff and commissioners expressed a desire to have the concession begin service in early April, even if startup slips by a short period.

Because the commission’s action was a recommendation, the contract requires council approval and execution by the city manager before it is effective.","The commission recommended the city council authorize a restaurant concession agreement at Kenai Municipal Airport, recommending Debbie's Food Services LLC based on proposal scoring and a proposed 12% gross-sales rent; commissioners discussed start timing and performance protections.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6644887,"Commission recommends Kenai Municipal Code amendment to list airport as principal permitted use in airport light industrial zone",121,1932000,2053000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2628499-3a1a4b9e2b399163d69de14d07bae941&start=1932&end=2053","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2628499-3a1a4b9e2b399163d69de14d07bae941/thumbnail_1932000.jpg","/articles/6644887/Kenai/Kenai-Peninsula-Borough/Alaska/Commission-recommends-Kenai-Municipal-Code-amendment-to-list-airport-as-principal-permitted-use-in-airport-light-industrial-zone","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6644887-db6e0c3c26dddae69ae3dd3f8d8e7181/orig.mp4?Expires=1770894388&Signature=d3YxLZ~GNKQ3z0mjtU4q14nXNHnxIWPaImdJuQd75QyWhGMGPLn7L-A9CMuRZibY9JdxCxuggg1F3Is1uetIQmkeVvHG1VG9VkaUFHx~3YScZJCiILW4EPP91iY1Sz-75RUGuNIhCZiavy8pU1MXOKmbZqx3se-gtxVOJTxBOtl54FoJEKH-XLqm1PHL9-wuw4zWOT1CrNPeliVTFFFiE9Ews4CprC-o-36vrO~HQWFifon4jO6Rq6sdEHuwNbPyJjfRJWfoBUL-P2UHobVZ0zD9ng9DH4p6ofImCBuCOSCdFx1dEc07nKHDbGOSCSS2rb22Tsii9WptZId-cr1QRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kenai Airport Commission voted Jan. 9 to recommend that the Kenai City Council amend the Kenai Municipal Code to list the airport as a principal permitted use in the airport light industrial zone.

Kevin (last name not stated), identified in the meeting as the city’s new planning director, told commissioners the change is an administrative correction. He said the airport historically had been in a conservation zone and that when the airport light industrial zone was enacted in 2016 the code did not explicitly list airports as a principal permitted use. The planning director described the amendment as “tidying up” to avoid the need for conditional-use permits.

A commission member moved to recommend council approval of the amendment; another member seconded. The motion carried by unanimous consent, and staff did not report any additional conditions or repercussions tied to the change.

Commission discussion centered on the amendment’s administrative nature and the intent that it reflect what staff and prior councils believed to be the original intended use of the airport within the zoning scheme. The transcript records the planning director and other commissioners providing background history; commissioners did not identify any new restrictions or approvals linked to the amendment.

Because the action is a recommendation to the city council, final legal effect depends on council action. The transcript does not record a subsequent council decision or an ordinance number.","The Kenai Airport Commission voted to recommend the city council approve an amendment to the Kenai Municipal Code to make the airport a principal permitted use in the airport light industrial zoning category, after a staff explanation that the change corrects an apparent 2016 omission.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6644891,"Kenai Airport Commission reappoints chair by unanimous consent",16,1736000,1752000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2628499-3a1a4b9e2b399163d69de14d07bae941&start=1736&end=1752","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2628499-3a1a4b9e2b399163d69de14d07bae941/thumbnail_1736000.jpg","/articles/6644891/Kenai/Kenai-Peninsula-Borough/Alaska/Kenai-Airport-Commission-reappoints-chair-by-unanimous-consent","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6644891-d567a0b02b7019b2f1c7767f77c9c34c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770894388&Signature=dflb32IPRDV-5qxeGgSVgL6aTQWF6x9wT1V4Ql1OWLrWlu9JLQhknwNaXIy5TjS0v6~zCCvr1j0k2w3vXE-eh86JcS3TbFZhwD5d9-J7geuktHOmewMvwJRC3tcQ11NZdqJu1QpXGVuj9EFSlUMjvnG7SjjqsfleoxHfs9OBcTa3VIBiSP2mOCo9mY4ZGhIDiRYgYZjtw6ZwyVljFZV-QJp7IlbtKLyA-P-xcZxvsRZndynr65M4HHKgEhcFkLHEc02MrS-ZdxCPzukLaWoIPZol2wk8~xP4VHO83FpUI9dyKjVDzGdri9DF8Ro4Dlyfc51BIOArx8Hizxng4x6ocQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kenai Airport Commission reappointed its chair by unanimous consent during its Jan. 9 meeting.

The commission moved promptly into annual organizational business, and a member made a motion “to reappoint” the chair. The motion was approved by unanimous consent, according to the meeting record. The transcript does not record the name of the member who moved the motion, the member who seconded it, or a roll-call vote.

The agenda item also listed election of a vice chair, but the transcript includes no explicit motion, second or recorded outcome for the vice chair position. Because the meeting record does not specify that action, this article does not report a vice chair result.

Items of routine business that followed included approval of minutes and no unfinished business. The commission then proceeded to other agenda items.

No additional direction or substantive policy changes were taken as part of the chair reappointment; the action was procedural and limited to confirming leadership for the commission’s upcoming term.","The Kenai Airport Commission reappointed its chair by unanimous consent at its Jan. 9 meeting; the transcript records a motion to reappoint the chair but does not provide a recorded vote or details on the vice chair election.","actionData","errors"]
