A staff presenter told trustees the trust will trim budget lines where possible while relying on carryover capital funds and reserves. The presentation showed operating expenses rising slightly even as overall budgeted revenues fall; projected reserves were expected to increase by roughly $6,000,000 to be set aside for upcoming capital projects.

The trust outlined a roughly $135,000,000 capital program for FY26 that spans its airport properties. Key projects highlighted included replacement of passenger boarding bridges (a $20,000,000 program with about $9,000,000 expected to be spent in FY26), completion of a new hangar for tenant AAR (about $13,000,000 expected this year), and design and expected start of construction on a new air traffic control tower at Wiley Post Airport to address visibility blind spots in the existing facility.

Staff said the trust intends to cash‑fund some projects, including a planned parking garage, by retaining a portion of year‑end balances. The presentation listed funding sources for capital programs and projects as OCAT funds and Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center funds (approximately $55,000,000 combined), a rental car customer facility charge (CFC), tenant contributions (for example, AAR toward its hangar), State of Oklahoma funding (about $5.6 million) and federal grants (about $34.8 million).

Trust staff described the breakdown of revenue drivers—building rents, landing fees and fuel sales—and said building rents and landing fees were forecast to decline in line with airline activity. A multi‑year capital plan was shown indicating similar proportional spending across five years, with the bulk of investment at Will Rogers World Airport and continued work at Wiley Post and the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center.

During the meeting trustees voted to receive the FY26 budget presentation; the trust chair called for a motion and second and the item passed. No roll‑call vote tally was read into the record during the discussion.

Trustees asked no substantive follow‑up questions during the formal presentation. The budget presentation had also been shown to Oklahoma City Council earlier in the week, staff said. Additional line‑item adjustments and final adoption steps will follow the trust’s established approval process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Oklahoma City Airport Trust - May 29, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The trust presented a FY26 budget on May 29 showing a decrease from $211 million to $208 million, an $8 million revenue shortfall driven by airline forecasts, and a $135 million capital program that includes boarding bridge replacements, an AAR hangar, and a planned Wiley Post control tower.","taxTitle","Other Public Meetings, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma","taxId",69689,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6218792,"Airport fuel manager: pipeline maintenance forces truck deliveries and daily coordination",108,339000,447000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3625317-fb2bcc2c995b95f8aec0e8dac2510fec&start=339&end=447","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3625317-fb2bcc2c995b95f8aec0e8dac2510fec/thumbnail_339000.jpg","/articles/6218792/Oklahoma/Airport-fuel-manager-pipeline-maintenance-forces-truck-deliveries-and-daily-coordination","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6218792-1a10a94b5d6829cc7324bdd8ff6b5ce9/orig.mp4?Expires=1775531676&Signature=lWKkJfAYjOSytuqBd7utvarrCkVVdtK8fEaTe9aHa7kBSsGh4CC7Dlwtuj8dwdll3kNcXx9ScRAHIJDqkhBMBxckRfxBw6wKJtd5AJQWKxeY-39offHCoj6YKj6N0Ll3SNkQhMFYihFXxzPimDlnnwR6NH3WLXXYMsHfehv7UEJlGFe5fwNKXjtJQZnfDFNiDwtDM5VJScFNVAp~eacZJBBSAA9hst9E69kn511LbqAp-FgK13wJIHKPr2dDkVfdDwEgpxdqSJanDhhFDQetFe7zgkJfj1CQ7nYOnbrs8syMlumwWky2XmMXc0yMXA5eXBpjkfV1Ogifwh8YFD0ZtA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Carrie Cox, the airport aviation fuel manager, told the Oklahoma City Airport Trust on May 29 that the trust operates 29 fuel tanks across the city’s three airports and relies on a mixed pipeline-and-truck supply that occasionally forces last‑minute deliveries.

Cox said the trust never owns the Jet A that moves through its facilities — “the whole time that the fuel is in our possession, it's owned by Phillips 66” — and that the job includes purchasing, ordering and maintenance for fueling infrastructure as well as coordinating with tenant fixed‑base operators who actually refuel aircraft.

The distinction matters because, Cox said, the trust must adapt when the multiproduct pipeline that supplies Jet A is offline for maintenance or when refinery batching leaves the city between shipments. “We do receive transports as well, when the pipeline goes down for maintenance and so forth,” she said. When that happens, she said, staff manage a “mad dash” of truck deliveries and coordinate with airlines to ensure flights can depart.

Cox described the office’s staffing and revenue model: she said she supervises six staff members (one field operations supervisor and five aviation fuel system technicians) and that the trust generates revenue by charging for fuel throughput rather than owning the product itself. “We just get paid coming, and we get paid going, and that's how we generate revenue,” she said.

Trust members and staff applauded the presentation and acknowledged the group’s behind‑the‑scenes work. A trust speaker noted the coordination role Cox described, adding that when the pipeline is unavailable airport staff must “make sure there's enough fuel to put in the airplane so the flight can” proceed.

The presentation included a brief recognition: John Storms was welcomed back after an absence. No formal action or vote was taken on the fuel presentation; it was an informational item on the agenda.

The trust did not provide a timetable for infrastructure changes to reduce reliance on truck transports, and no financial figures for contingency fuel purchases or long‑term pipeline solutions were presented at the meeting.","Carrie Cox, airport aviation fuel manager, told the Oklahoma City Airport Trust on May 29 that the trust operates 29 fuel tanks across three airports, does not own the product that flows through them, and must coordinate truck deliveries when the Phillips 66 pipeline is down.","actionData","errors"]
