Summary
County staff reported fueling-station usage is above normal (nearly 18,000 gallons) and recommended adding pumps to ease congestion that can block ambulances and school buses; commissioners asked staff to get pricing.
County staff reported that the Miller County fueling station has been operating above normal capacity and that throughput has reached nearly 18,000 gallons during the most recent reporting period.
Staff described congestion issues when multiple large vehicles use the site — notably school buses and ambulances — and recommended adding at least one additional pump to separate diesel off-road and on-road fueling lanes, which staff said would reduce backups that can impede emergency vehicles. The clerk/staff asked commissioners to authorize obtaining price estimates for adding pumps.
No formal action was taken; commissioners asked staff to get pricing and report back.
