Airport Board OK's New Fuel Markup
Whoops. After lengthy debating and rejecting a 10 cent additional markup in aviation gas at the last board meeting, it turns out that the additional markup was already in place with the last delivery of fuel, Airport Manager Terri Abercrombie said at this week's meeting. She said she had made a mistake in costing the markup when the last fuel delivery was made and the new price had already been put into effect.
This brings the total markup to 60 cents over what is paid wholesale, and board members approved that figure Monday. They then voted to restore the figures removed at the last meeting--$4546.00 for pavement repairs, and $600 for snow removal, bringing the total year's budget to $220,295 with a budget for fuel income at $174,000.
The board also discussed a list of airport capital improvement projects and agreed that as far as getting Federal monies is concerned, fencing the airport for security and animal control, and acquisition of additional property on the West side of the airport north to the second line road, are first in line. Constructing a new West taxiway would be next on the list. They added an automated fuel system to the list of projects as well.
The board set a special meeting for Friday, May 12 at 1 p.m. to discuss additional land acquisition, some 48 acres owned by Mike Prather which the city council had previously voted to continue to acquire.
The board also approved the amended lease agreement with the City of Grove and added the word "Airport" to one section. This completes work on the transfer of title of airport land to the city, an item which first came up months ago.
The Young Eagles program will be held May 13 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., flying kids from 7-17. The event was rained out last Saturday.
The asphalt overlay on the east taxiway is still under review, as the airport's analysis showed a lack of oil in the material. Longan Asphalt has asked for a second test, Abercrombie said.
After the meeting, City Manager Bill Galletly gave each board member a copy of the second partial report issued by the Grand Jury, clearing him of another seven issues, declaring it "good news." Airport Manager Abercrombie and Board Chairman Gary Tripensee had both signed the petition to impanel the Grand Jury.
