Meeting called to order @ 18:50 hours by Chairman John Smith. All board members were
present.
Guests present: Nate from KLJ, Mark Webb, and Bob Miller from Northern Skies. Bob
Miller give an explanation as to some of the problems with fuel sales from Northern Skies,
he had prior commitments so he went first. Many issues which the board was unaware of,
and neither party has complete control over. Some of the issues with lack of fuel seem to
have been resolved, and Bob gave an impassioned explanation as to why they cannot
price match some of the other airports. Basically Bob stated it was a volume issue, with
Billings selling substantial amounts of fuel, and some of the other airports are assumed to
purchase it with the county fuel program, again adding to the volume of fuel purchased
from the supplier.
