Public commenter urges Livermore to push FBO to offer unleaded aviation fuel at LVK
Summary
A public commenter read a statement urging the City Council to work with the Livermore FBO to make GAMI G100UL unleaded aviation fuel available at Livermore Municipal Airport (LVK) to reduce lead exposure near residential areas and schools.
A member of the public asked the City Council to press the fixed-base operator at Livermore Municipal Airport (LVK) to offer an unleaded aviation fuel, GAMI G100UL, to reduce lead emissions that commenters said affect nearby residences and schools.
Carol Silva read comments prepared by Donna Caban urging the council to ask the FBO, identified as Peter Sandhu, to begin selling GAMI G100UL at LVK. "Livermore Airport, LVK is now offering UL 94. This is a small step towards eliminating the impacts of leaded aviation pollution on several residential developments and schools close to the airport," Silva read. The written remarks noted that GAMI G100UL is FAA‑approved and in use at other local airports and urged the city to work with the FBO to make it available at LVK as soon as possible.
Silva asked whether the city manager or "Mr. Spence" could provide an update on any steps the city is taking to offer GAMI G100UL at LVK. The council did not take action on the request during the meeting; the item was recorded in the public‑comment record for follow‑up by staff.
