Officials ask to split Avgas and Jet A lines to track fuel revenue

The group discussed a proposed split of fuel accounting so Avgas and Jet A purchases and sales are recorded separately rather than combined in a single fuel line. Presenter (S4) explained that splitting those lines would allow clearer tracking of both revenue and expense for the airport's fuel operations and make it easier to see profit margins on sales.

"We split it out for Avgas, which to and Jet A," Presenter (S4) said while describing the accounting change. Committee member (S2) noted the airport margin is small, saying the operation currently nets about "50¢ a gallon." Staff member (S1) said the vendor already sends a breakout of receipts and that the accounting team needs to post those receipts to separate lines so Jen can record the correct revenue in the right fiscal accounts.

Point‑of‑sale and merchant fees were discussed in the same conversation. S1 described the payment terminals (referred to as "QTPOD" in the transcript) and monthly support costs: two terminals at roughly $30 each per month. Presenter (S4) said he would create separate accounting lines and work with staff to ensure receipts and merchant fees are coded correctly to reflect actual fuel sales and to enable a clearer view of whether the fuel operation is profitable.
