Discussion was had on the chamber of commerce wanting car show in conjunction with Radar run. The Commission discussed concerns with chambers direction to want car show off airport grounds. Commission told Bruce to inform chamber car show needs to be part of Radar run on airport property, on the ramp near terminal, or airport property in designated location for proper ingress /egress traffic flow, or their car show can be separate, not affiliated with Radar run and away from airport grounds. Concerns of the chamber’s mention of car show on Olympic Street would encourage traffic down airport Rd which is closed to public vehicle traffic and not maintained to handle traffic.
Further discussion was had on the removal of Mo gas from airport property and the progress of potentially converting or adding Jet A fuel as an option. Bruce is going to explore pricing on tank conversion as well as fuel truck. Bruce was advised to reach John from Wausau airport for more info on fuel storage strategies. Bruce was concerned with the minimum Jet A purchase quantity that would make our fuel prices not in line with current market. A discussion was made on how to accommodate meeting the minimum purchase amount i.e. some in storage tanks and some in fuel truck or larger tanks installed by Walts petroleum
