Title
A Resolution to Enter into a Ground Lease at the Foley Municipal Airport with the Stapleton Volunteer Fire Department for the Purpose of Providing Jet-A Fuel to Med Trans Air Ambulance Service
Summary
Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much)
Med Trans Air Ambulance Service was previously based at the Stapleton Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) and the VFD owns a fuel truck that was utilized in fueling the air ambulance helicopter. Med Trans recently relocated their base to the South Baldwin Regional Medical Center. They would like to refuel at the Foley Municipal Airport, however, Jet A Fuel is not available at this time. The Airport Manager would like to seek a grant through ALDOT to partially fund a Jet A tank at the airport. In the meantime, the Stapleton VFD has offered to relocate their fuel truck to the airport to provide the needed fuel. They have agreed to pay the City a fuel flowage fee in the amount of $0.10/gallon that will serve as a ground lease payment while their equipment is at the airport and until such time as the airport has a tank of its own.
