Airport advisory committee reports fuel sales, nozzle replacement and runway light repairs
Summary
At its June 2 meeting the Airport Advisory Committee reviewed fuel sales and inventory, plans to fix AvGas vapor recovery and filters, the need to install a new AvGas nozzle, and ongoing runway/taxiway lighting repairs ahead of an FAA flight check.
The Airport Advisory Committee on June 2 reviewed recent fuel sales and multiple maintenance items, including repairs to runway lighting and AvGas equipment.
Vice‑Chair Victoria Ganz reported that May AvGas sales totaled $3,540 for 606 gallons and Jet‑A sales were $2,738 for 461 gallons, with current AvGas priced at $6.50. The committee recorded the most recent delivery as a split 2,000‑gallon load at $6.61 per gallon and local market averages of $6.86 for AvGas and $6.41 for Jet‑A. Victoria also said the airport account holds $89,148 and that an invoice for the recent 2,000‑gallon delivery totaling $12,201 is pending payment.
The committee discussed equipment issues: a new AvGas nozzle is on hand and requires installation; the AvGas vapor recovery system and basket filter have problems that the committee plans to address with contractors Lake Region and InSight and may require cabinet modifications. A recent quality‑control inspection found most items fixed or in progress, but the committee noted the emergency shutoff on top of the tanks still needs a testing method.
On airfield lighting, members said four runway lights are out; motherboards ordered by Pete should arrive soon to enable repair. Victoria reported the FAA will perform a flight check the following evening to verify the lighting status and that the agency is aware of outages but that no two adjacent runway lights are out. Adjacent taxiway lights have temporary “blue post” replacements.
The committee did not take formal action on these maintenance items during the meeting; members outlined repair plans and contractor engagement and flagged the FAA flight check as an immediate next step.
