DISCUSSION:
The Department of Aviation provides Jet A fuel for resale at the California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport (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 U.S Coast Guard while they conduct maintenance and repairs on their own Jet A fuel tank. This supplemental budget of $300,000 will allow the department to purchase the additional Jet A fuel required to maintain continuity of services through the remainder of the fiscal year.
