Lake Havasu City Council adopts ordinance allowing hot fueling at municipal airport
Summary
The council adopted an amendment to City Code section 11.08.710 to clarify fueling and defueling practices, including hot fueling, at the Lake Havasu municipal airport. The ordinance passed 6-0 after a public hearing.
The Lake Havasu City Council voted 6-0 on July 23 to adopt an amendment to City Code section 11.08.710 governing fueling and defueling at the municipal airport, including language addressing hot fueling.
City staff introduced the ordinance at the public hearing. No members of the public spoke in opposition during the hearing, and council members discussed the operational effects. A council member referenced military refueling practice during the discussion and said that in-flight refueling typically occurs with engines running.
Council formally moved to adopt "Ordinance No. 19-1219 amending City Code section 11.08.710 (fueling and defueling)." The motion carried 6 to 0; the meeting record does not list individual roll-call votes in the transcript excerpt.
The ordinance was introduced earlier and debated at a prior meeting; the July 23 session completed the public hearing and adoption steps. No amendments were recorded during the July 23 vote, and no implementation date beyond standard ordinance adoption procedures was noted in the transcript.
The action was taken during the council’s public hearing agenda item; staff and council indicated the change aimed to clarify local fueling rules and avoid unintended restrictions on airport operations.
