Airport manager reports fuel prices and operational concerns including gate damage and wildlife on runway
Summary
Airport Manager Rick Tetrev reported April fuel prices (Avgas $6.84/gal; Jet‑A $4.69/gal) and the committee logged operational issues: a damaged gate turned over to Public Works, difficulty sourcing windsock bulbs, ongoing mowing support from Public Works, and a deer crossing the runway after a landing.
At the June 17, 2026 meeting of the Wiscasset Municipal Airport Advisory Committee, Airport Manager Rick Tetrev provided the April operations report and listed current issues affecting daily operations.
Tetrev recorded fuel prices in the minutes: Avgas at $6.84 per gallon and Jet‑A at $4.69 per gallon. The minutes reference gallons sold and purchased but include placeholders and do not supply clear numeric totals; the manager’s full report is referenced for those figures.
Under general comments, the committee recorded several operational matters. A gate near the maintenance hangar was damaged when it closed prematurely against a hangar renter’s vehicle; Public Works has been assigned to repair the gate. Public Works is also providing personnel to mow airport grass. Staff reported difficulty sourcing light bulbs for the windsocks. Chair Steve Williams reported a deer crossed the runway after his aircraft had landed, demonstrating the continued wildlife hazard at the field.
The minutes do not indicate formal motions or vote tallies tied to these operational items; they are recorded as committee observations and maintenance actions.
