Committee to recommend lease amendment allowing township diesel use at Hilltop maintenance site during propane transition
Summary
The committee reviewed a lease amendment to allow the township to use the district’s diesel pump at the Hilltop Maintenance & Transportation site while the township transitions its fueling; the township would pay fuel costs and assume operational risk for its use.
Committee members reviewed a proposed amendment to the lease for the Hilltop Maintenance & Transportation (M&T) building that would allow the township to use the district’s diesel side of the site pumps during the township’s transition period to new fueling infrastructure.
What staff said: Staff explained the site has dual fuel capability (gas and diesel) and that the township would use the diesel side while it develops its own diesel tank plan. The transcript indicates the district owns the underground tanks and will continue to maintain them under the district's license; staff said the township would assume the cost of fuel it purchases and be responsible for spills or damage it causes while pumping.
Operational details: Staff told the committee that new pumps were installed about a month before the meeting and that the district’s gasoline side will remain available for district vehicles. Staff said only a small number of district buses will still require diesel in the short term as the district moves to propane.
Next steps: The lease amendment will be presented to the board at the next meeting for approval. The solicitor helped draft the amendment and the township has reviewed and is agreeable to the proposed terms, staff said.
Ending: Staff agreed to place the lease amendment on the next board agenda; no formal committee vote was taken at the meeting.
