Airport staff reports: FAA Part 139 inspection, Aleutian flights, retaining-wall work and budget updates
Summary
Staff told the Kenai Airport Commission on May 8 that a Part 139 inspection went "fairly well" pending final report, Aleutian flights start June 6, a community air fair is scheduled for June 14, rock retaining-wall construction starts May 16, and council donated land for income-restricted senior housing.
Airport staff told the Kenai Airport Commission on May 8 that the recent FAA Part 139 inspection "went fairly well," though the final report is pending and staff expects follow-up work, including repainting pavement markings and signs, some grading and updates to training.
Staff also reported several operational and community items: an Aleutian carrier has begun moving in and will start flights June 6; a community air fair is scheduled for June 14 (staff encouraged commission participation); and rock retaining-wall construction is scheduled to begin May 16 with materials barged in. Staff said there had been a community meeting about the retaining-wall project and that some commercial fleet operators raised concerns.
On broader city matters, staff noted that the City Council donated land for income-restricted senior housing and that the airport department is in the budget submittal process, including a recent weekend budget workshop. No formal votes or council directives on these items were recorded in the transcript; they were reported as informational updates.
Commissioners asked about the Part 139 inspection results; staff reiterated that the full report is not yet available and listed the items likely to be addressed. The commission did not vote or direct additional study on these operational updates during the recorded meeting.
