Summary

Staff said the airport’s new fuel farm is close to coming online and that the budget includes $75,000 in fuel‑sale revenue and funds to purchase an AWOS weather system; TxDOT expects to resurface the runway in the next 12–16 months under a 90/10 grant program.

City staff told the council the airport fund will include a new revenue line for fuel sales now that a fuel farm is being commissioned. Staff said fuel deliveries were in process and that fuel sales were budgeted at $75,000, contingent on completion of card processing and vendor training. The budget also includes a project to install an Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS). Staff told the council the AWOS purchase will be funded from airport fund balance derived from a prior land sale and not from the recurring airport operating budget. For airfield pavement, staff said the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Aviation Division plans a runway resurfacing project; TxDOT will run the bid and construction process and expects to pay roughly 90% of the project with a 10% local match already committed by the city. TxDOT scrapped earlier bids because they were too high and reopened procurement; staff expects a resurfacing contract award within about 12–16 months.
