ITEM # 5: Old Business: None
ITEM # 6: New Business:
A. Eliminate Mogas-
Summer asked the board if it is cost efficient to keep Mogas on the field, and change the self -serve
tank to a second 100LL tank. The airport sells 100-200 gallons a month, and Mogas goes bad. Darryl
Riddell said he would be in favor of eliminating the MoGas. Todd Crane asked how much fuel the
airport keeps on hand, which Summer said we buy 400 gallons at a time. The problem with having
too much mogas on hand is that it goes bad and is not good to put in aircraft or any other
equipment. A motion to support the decision to end Mogas sales at the Airport made by Paul Algee
seconded by Rick Bailey.
ITEM # 7: Other Business:
