Board of Aviation Commissioners Meeting - 04-21-2026

The City of Anderson, Indiana Board of Aviation Commissioners held a meeting on April 21, 2026, focusing on airport operations and upcoming projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the planned issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a fixed base operator (FBO) at Hampton Regional Airport, aiming for a September 1st start date. The RFP includes flowage fees of 10 cents per gallon for 100 low lead fuel and 15% for jet fuel, with the goal of improving service and reducing maintenance costs. The board also approved Task Order 23 with CHA for design-build criteria development and partial construction administration for a project estimated at $434,000, funded primarily through federal bipartisan infrastructure law funds with a 5% local match. Additionally, a lease-related discussion occurred regarding MJ Aircraft's request to expand operations into avionics, which may require contract amendments and potentially an executive session for negotiation. The meeting also covered operational updates such as fuel sales increases and air show parking arrangements.
