The Kenai City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the city manager to extend the restaurant concession agreement in the Kenai Municipal Airport for an additional year. A resolution was initially passed in August 2018 for a restaurant concession agreement with the Brothers’ Café with an additional term of two years and an opportunity to extend for three successive one-year terms pending the approval from the City Council.
A resolution was passed in March 2019 for an amended concession agreement with the café recognizing decreased business due to the terminal rehabilitation project that was taking place. Months later, in December, the concession agreement was amended again citing a necessary business closure due to the terminal rehabilitation project.
Then, in June 2020, the first one-year extension with the agreement was passed by the city council with the fee arrangement adjusted with the Brothers’ Café in December. In addition to the terminal rehabilitation project taking place, the city amended the agreement due to the continued decrease in business as a result of RAVN Alaska’s bankruptcy at the time, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The second one-year extension of the agreement was authorized last June and, most recently, the city and the café expressed desire to extend the agreement for the third one-year extension.
The Restaurant Concession Agreement with the Brothers’ Café extends the term of the agreement ending June 30, 2023.
