TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: November 19, 1996
SUBJECT: Authorization to Apply for a California Transportation Commission Revenue Generating Loan for
the Purchase and Installation of an Aviation Fueling System for the Byron Airport
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or his designee, on behalf of the County, to
apply to the California Transportation Commission for a Revenue Generating Loan for the purchase and
installation of a self service Aviation Fueling System at the Contra Costa Byron Airport.
II. Financial Impact:
The estimated cost for the Aviation Fueling System is $190,000, of which 100% will funded through a
loan from Caltrans at an interest rate of 6%. Payments in the amount of $16,474 per year for fifteen
years will be paid to Caltrans by the Airport Enterprise Fund. The loan will be repaid from aviation fuel
sales. Fuel sales greater than the loan payments will be deposited to the Airport Enterprise Fund.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
On August 13, 1996, the Board of Supervisors approved the Plans and Specifications and Advertisement
for Bids for the Byron Aviation Fueling System Project. The old underground fuel storage tanks at the
Byron Airport were abandoned and removed in October 1996. Currently there is no aviation fuel
available at Byron Airport. This project has bden determined to be in conformance with the General Plan.
The environmental assessment titled East Contra County Byron Airport pertaining to this project was
approved by the Board in August 1986.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
An aviation fuel system may not be made available at the Byron Airport, resulting in continued reduced
income to the Airport Enterprise Fund. The lack of aviation fuel will not satisfy the current demand and
will not attract additional tenants or users to the Byron Airport.
