Council accepts anonymous $49,840 donation for Jet A fuel truck to serve Morris airport
Summary
An anonymous donor offered $49,840 to donate a Jet A fuel truck to Morris; council approved accepting the donation and staff said they will implement a POS/metering solution before the truck is placed into general community service.
The Morris City Council voted to accept an anonymous donation of a Jet A fuel truck valued at $49,840 for use at the Morris airport. The mayor announced the amount and noted the donor requested anonymity; the council approved acceptance by voice vote.
Council members and staff discussed implementing a metering or point-of-sale system so the truck can serve a broader community rather than function as a single-user asset. City staff said the part-time airport manager is researching options to add a POS system that would let multiple pilots and users draw fuel and ensure proper accounting for grant or federal funds that paid for the vehicle. Until the POS is in place, the truck will remain available but not as a metered community resource.
The motion to accept the donation passed by voice vote and staff will return with implementation details and estimated costs for metering and operation of the truck.
