Airport reports higher fuel sales and maintenance needs; staff proposes extended summer hours
Summary
Airport staff reported approximately $225,000 in fuel sales with $54,000 profit, said hangar maintenance is being completed, and noted the 12,000-gallon fuel tank needs refurbishment; staff proposed extending summer hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Airport staff reported higher activity and revenue while flagging capital and maintenance needs. Mr. Lewis said flight numbers are up, hangar maintenance is finally being completed, and airport fuel sales totaled approximately $225,000 with a profit of $54,000. He told the board the airport's fuel tank holds 12,000 gallons and typically receives deliveries of 8,500 gallons; he also said the fuel tank needs refurbishment and the float needs repair, and that a new fuel pump will need to be considered.
Mr. Lewis said staff have discussed extending summer operating hours from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. because of consistent traffic throughout that period. Board members raised the structure of any tax reduction tied to airport support, with Supervisor Williams suggesting a variable tax-rate approach and Chairman Don R. Harris favoring a less generous reduction.
