Avgas refueler truck repair or retirement
Summary
The airport's avgas fuel truck has been out of service since March 2026. Repairs (belly valve and meter replacement) could cost up to $13,000, but declining avgas use makes the investment questionable. The commission was set to recommend repair, retirement, or an alternative full-service fueling option.

Impact analysis
Repairs could cost up to $13,000 from airport funds for a truck with high hours and shrinking demand.
Pilots who buy avgas at the airport would benefit from restored full-service fueling if repairs are made.
Taxpayers and airport fund users could bear the cost of repairs if the truck's low usage doesn't justify the spend.
