Logan-Cache Airport Authority Board Meeting 12-04-2025

- The board approved the November meeting minutes and heard a manager’s report on airport operations, including continued review of a $2 million UDOT electrification grant, a revised plan to repair the snowblower, and ongoing fence and wildlife-exclusion repairs. - Engineering updates covered several capital projects: the taxi lane kilo project is under FAA final review, taxi lane Charlie reconstruction is planned for spring, the SRE equipment is expected soon, and taxiway bravo maintenance and repainting are scheduled for summer to satisfy FAA requirements. - The board spent significant time discussing a new hangar site allocation policy. Members agreed the old waiting list should be phased out in favor of an application-based system, with separate tracking for larger and smaller hangars and priority based on application date. - The board approved returning deposits to applicants who bought existing hangars and to the estate of a deceased applicant. Going forward, the board leaned toward a nonrefundable application fee rather than a refundable deposit, but the exact amount and structure were left for further refinement. - Members also discussed adding criteria to the allocation process, including first-in, first-out priority, verifiable aviation use, and the board’s ability to consider airport efficiency and broader airport goals when assigning sites. - A proposal from developers for Taxi Lanes Delta and Hotel was approved after debate, with the understanding that current priority-list applicants would be offered first opportunity and that the project would proceed only if financially feasible. The developers said they could build the infrastructure and hangars, but they need approval before final pricing and design work. - The board clarified that standalone hangars can still be built zero-lot-line if they are planned that way and meet fire and city requirements. The airport will act as gatekeeper on applications to ensure builders understand those requirements. - Logan City’s possible withdrawal from the Airport Authority was discussed, with county representatives saying the county is tentatively prepared to accept the request and likely wait the six-month period. It was also noted that Logan City would still participate on the board and that building approvals within city limits would continue through city planning. - A separate development request for the Lima area asked to eliminate a parking lot and add hangar space instead. The board said parking lot locations are conceptual, but taxi lane locations are fixed; the developer was told it could build on the parking-lot area as long as the taxi lane itself is not shifted. - The meeting closed with confirmation that the next board meeting is scheduled for January 8.
