Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:

Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Plan.
Area of Focus: Core Services/Other
Strategic Plan Category: 9999 - Core Services/Other
DISCUSSION:
The Department of Aviation provides Jet A fuel for resale at ACV to support both commercial service and general aviation operations. The ability to consistently supply Jet A fuel is essential to sustaining airline service and other critical aviation activities that serve the Humboldt County community.
ACV has experienced a significant increase in Jet A fuel demand, largely due to sales to the United States Coast Guard while they conduct maintenance and repairs on their own Jet A fuel tank. This additional demand for fuel sales was not anticipated in FY 2024-25, therefore, staff request approval of a supplemental budget in the amount of $100,000.
