Remote commenter urges Marquette County to allow Adfuel to sell fuel at Sawyer Airport
Summary
A remote participant asked the board to permit Adfuel to sell fuel at Marquette Sawyer Lynn Hill Airport, arguing the existing contract does not give the county's FBO sole fueling rights and urging staff to proceed if Adfuel is ready and staffed.
During the electronic public-comment period, a remote participant addressed the board as 'Mister Benzie' and asked that the county permit fuel sales at Marquette Sawyer Lynn Hill Airport. The commenter said, based on his experience on airport boards, he believed there was no contractual language in the FBO contract granting exclusive fueling rights and recommended allowing Adfuel to begin selling fuel if it is ready and has staff in place.
Chair acknowledged the comment and wished the participant safe travels. The remark came during the same meeting in which the board deferred action on the county's FBO contract and scheduled a special meeting for April 28 to review documents; the commenter framed his request as an operational remedy if the county's current arrangements left the airport without adequate fueling options.
What was said: The commenter stated there 'has never been... no contractual language in Kulik's contract that gives them sole light to be the only FBO or sole fuel rights on the field' and urged the board to permit Adfuel to self-fuel at Sawyer if staff are hired and ready.
