Logan-Cache Airport Authority Board Meeting -- 03/05/2026

- The board elected John Kerr as chair and Brett Hughey as vice chair by acclamation, and welcomed new member Dave Galli to the board. - George outlined the county’s takeover of airport ownership and the shift to a new governance structure, with Logan City retaining two board seats; members discussed developing clearer rules for county, board, administrative, and public input roles. - The board approved the February meeting minutes with a correction clarifying language about adding an additional hangar on Taxi Lane Lima. - Dave Galli reported on a conditional $550,000 electrification grant for an aircraft charging station, with additional local funding needed to complete the project; he must confirm electrical capacity and submit documentation by May 1. - The board discussed the proposed charging-station location near the historic tower and USU dispatch area, but asked Dave to confirm the site with Utah State, the FBO, and other stakeholders before moving forward. - Dave also reported on a separate grant application to replace the aging avgas fuel tank, citing spill risk near the canal and Great Salt Lake; the new tank would be double-walled, larger, and support self-service and FBO fueling. - The board debated a new “revolving infrastructure account” funded by fees from developers building on existing paved taxi lanes, intended to finance new taxi lane construction as FAA funding for private hangar taxi lanes declines. - The fee system was adopted 4-1, with Brett Hughey voting no; members clarified that the account is for new taxi lane construction, with fees updated over time based on current costs. - Public/comment discussion focused on airport governance transition and preserving autonomy, and Keegan Garrity suggested revisiting Dr. Jones’ earlier report on board expertise and meeting location. - The board noted strong airport activity and economic impact, and scheduled the next meeting for April 2 at 9:00 a.m. at the same location.
