I also agree with David. A major concern is that Federal Grant money for airport projects come with strings attached (20 year obligations) that seriously diminish local control of the airport. Port Commissioners should do what officials in other airport communities have done in order to gain back local control -- STOP accepting Federal funding for airport development and expansion projects.
Regarding the budget item for a new unleaded fuel tank and truck: A wise alternative would be serious planning to stop sale of leaded fuel (as other airports have done to protect public health) - then use the tank currently being used for leaded fuel for unleaded.
Re Yeti's comment - were the Port to be shut down (dissolved under provisions of State law) essential services could still be provided. Those services would just be provided by facilities run by other local agencies. (Many airports, for instance, are City or County run.)
