Grove Airport Board Holds Routine Meeting

The regular monthly meeting of the Grove Municipal Airport Authority took care of routine items at its meeting Monday, including the following:

--took no action on a discussion as to whether or not airport property could be used for non-aviation use, but generally agreed that it isn't.
--spent considerable time discussing the Airport Survey tabulations by board member Dave Adzigian, even refuting some of the survey comments from airports, based on their own experience in recent landings. The board felt that it did not want to endorse the findings as 100% accurate, but did agree to distribute them to those airports that had requested a copy of the Grove survey, with a cover letter with caveats. Member Tripensee voted against sending out the survey.
--discussed current T Hangar rates and moved to leave them where they are, about $135 per month. They agreed that those hangars that had not received any utility service should not pay the same rates as those that do, and tabled the issue until the next meeting to see how current leases can be amended without incurring further legal assistance. Leases are revised every 10 years currently, and voted 4-1 to review them every five years, on new leases only.
--current fuel price is $3.78 per gallon for 100 LL.
--took no action on joining the Better Business Bureau of Tulsa.
--discussed land leases and lease rates, and tabled the issue until the next meeting.
--discussed the upcoming board vacancy, as Gary Tripensee's term expires Aug. 31, and agreed to offer the board's assistance in naming a replacement, to Mayor Nuckolls.
--agreed to advertise for bids for both branded and unbranded fuel.
