Cache County Council Ordinance and Policy Review Committee Meeting – 06-18-2026

- The committee unanimously approved the meeting agenda and then focused almost entirely on the airport authority interlocal agreement. Members agreed the document should be treated as a restated agreement rather than a patchwork of redlines, to make the final text easier to follow. - The group reviewed the substance of the agreement and confirmed that no major substantive changes had been made since the prior meeting. Several members said the revised version now reflects the earlier discussions on board composition, appointment process, and reporting expectations. - Members discussed the airport authority board structure, including representation and appointment rules. The agreement now reflects the prior decision that one member should be from Logan City and that the executive’s inclusion on the board was supported by a two-thirds vote. - The committee spent significant time on budgeting language, especially the requirement that the airport authority submit funding requests through the Cache County budget process. Andrew questioned whether the three-month advance budget deadline was necessary, but staff explained it helps the county incorporate requests into its own budget cycle. - The fiscal year issue was clarified during discussion: the agreement defines the fiscal year as January 1 through December 31, resolving earlier confusion about whether a city or county fiscal year applied. Members accepted that clarification without further changes. - There was also discussion about the clause preventing the airport authority from exceeding its approved budget without sponsor board approval. Andrew noted this gives the sponsor board a fairly tight supervisory role, but no one moved to change that language. - Staff reported that airport-related budget amendments have come up frequently, often because analysts identify grant money or other items that need to be added to the budget. This led to a broader discussion about how much oversight the sponsor board should retain over the authority’s finances. - The committee agreed not to reopen negotiations with Logan City over substantive language at this stage. Instead, members supported moving forward with a resolution authorizing the county executive to enter the interlocal agreement, with the restated version to be finalized afterward. - The committee unanimously voted to make a favorable recommendation to the County Council to adopt the resolution authorizing the executive to finalize the agreement with Logan City. Staff was asked to prepare the item for the next council meeting and get it posted promptly. - A few light public-facing remarks were made about the confusing redline format and the need for clearer document versioning. Members also joked about the law firm’s old template, but these comments did not affect the committee’s decision.
