Airport Manager Bob said one of the airport interns accepted an internship at Salt Lake International and the authority plans to recruit two interns to fill that position and another vacancy, noting budgeted funds are available. On the control tower project, Bob said work is waiting on glass shipments and that contractors were coordinating frames and roof installation so window and roof crews could work the same week.

On hangar inspections, Bob described an education-first approach and said the authority has sent attention-getting letters that cite lease terms and federal \"grant assurances.\" \"Our intention here is compliance, education,\" he said, adding staff have talked with most tenants and do not want to evict anyone.

The manager reported software for airport management would be funded this year by shifting funds from the grounds and maintenance line item and that he would request a separate line item in next year’s budget. He also said landing fees \"go live today,\" and that airport staff coordinated with Vector to notify based aircraft so they would not be double-charged.

Bob said ARFF (Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting) training begins Monday and that he and Casey will be qualified so they can respond during daytime hours; the current training block was described as a 40-hour program split between classroom and hands-on work in the truck.

Lochner consultant Connor Butterfield gave a timeline for projects: painting work on taxi lanes is expected to take about three to five days once dates are set; procurement for snow removal equipment (SRE) — described as a 10-wheel dump truck with front and side plows — is under FAA review; preliminary design for taxiway Charlie is awaiting geotechnical soils reports and final survey/topo before final plans can be prepared. Butterfield said grant paperwork for taxiway Kilo is in a county official's inbox and, if awarded, construction could proceed in the summer months when soils are drier.

The manager also noted outreach and events: the ALP (airport layout plan) open house for public comment has been completed and the plan was turned over to the FAA for review; the authority is planning a Run the Runway event in September and working with organizers on a Cash Air Fest community airshow in June with static displays and demonstrations. A university-led AirFest planning update later in the meeting described a two-day program with training and an open-house airshow expected to draw several thousand attendees and requiring NOTAMs and temporary activity restrictions during the event.

No board votes were taken on operational items listed in the manager's report. Several items require federal review or grants before construction can proceed; staff identified follow-up tasks including final survey/geotech reports, FAA feedback on SRE procurement, and a formal budget amendment for software funding.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Logan-Cache Airport Board Meeting 05-01-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The airport manager reported staff changes, progress on the control tower and pavement projects, hangar lease compliance efforts, software funding, landing fees going live, ARFF training and community events; Lochner provided project timelines and grant status for taxiway work.","taxTitle","Cache County School District, Utah School Boards, Utah","taxId",74853,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6254929,"Logan Cash Airport Authority holds public hearing on adding Utah State University representative to board",706,756000,1462000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3168645-8c9aafa6d8b8f3f8fda61bc0b807e595&start=756&end=1462","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3168645-8c9aafa6d8b8f3f8fda61bc0b807e595/thumbnail_756000.jpg","/articles/6254929/Utah/Logan-Cash-Airport-Authority-holds-public-hearing-on-adding-Utah-State-University-representative-to-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6254929-f9ab4a9d587baa22ca039ae0d7179f08/orig.mp4?Expires=1770909208&Signature=ow3k3Nk0XPhi-JB-os--mMNrbGslmvBByuQeSn0CoH0sXIDFVsdmL~zIa4k-yLUYSqAGuEmGn~GSvzft1pPxXSuKR2~QmnllHEU4sEHdO4AMPf4yNerttrE2PF-6lQk8-VH3PWyByyTgGEJprDwDMSfcQoU6Q~TmywlJr6icZnw0jQXyDD4p44EqIRccq4Ywh08ad0vFsqR02OF4-X-3g22GGm2KZzwmTfnhnQzmALkUyisAYAFs0dSCvqtad4n037o8ePbLETTObsJQf9WeWzBXe09s0ZjBl6GPfa4dxbOpFM-YpLXa-RxLdd-6Y74sX~Bsz75nswrTCjPdajzzkg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Logan Cash Airport Authority opened a public hearing during its meeting to receive input on potential changes to the authority board's makeup, including a possible seat for Utah State University.

The hearing drew several speakers with sharply different views on whether a university representative should have a formal seat. Supporters said university participation could help align airport planning with training and operations; opponents warned it would create a conflict of interest and politicize the authority.

Aaron Dykes, representing Utah State University, said the university operates a substantial flight program and should have a voice on board decisions. \"We have 400 students actively flying, 60 flight instructors, 10 maintenance personnel. We do over $2,000,000 of fuel purchases a year,\" Dykes said, arguing that those local operations make university representation valuable.

Joe Bates, an airport hangar owner, urged the board to reject a representative seat for USU. Bates said a seat for the university would pose a conflict of interest and cited a previous review. \"Doctor Jones' report pointed out that USU football is the only reason we have Part 139 status,\" Bates said, adding that a representative system \"introduces conflicting loyalties, can politicize the group, and distract the authority from its single focus.\"

John O'Neil, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Utah State University, said the university intends to be a \"fair partner\" and to \"carry our weight and contribute appropriately to the benefit of this county, this city, and our region.\"

Scott Perks, North Logan City community development director, spoke in support of increased public involvement on airport governance and noted the airport's regional economic role. \"We all recognize the airport as an important regional asset,\" Perks told the board.

The board did not take any action at the hearing. The chair stated the item was on the agenda only to receive input and that it was \"not on our agenda to make any decision today.\" Board members invited anyone with further comments to submit them in writing; Janine Allen, the board secretary, was identified as the recipient for emailed comments.

Why this matters: changing the authority's composition could alter decision-making on airport operations, development and grant compliance. Opponents pointed to a prior review (identified in the meeting as \"Dr. Jones' report\") and raised Part 139 considerations; supporters said institutional knowledge from a major airport tenant would improve collaboration.

The board will consider the input received at a future meeting and encouraged written comments to be sent to Janine Allen for distribution to board members.","At a public hearing, airport users and community representatives offered opposing views on whether Utah State University should have a designated seat on the Logan Cash Airport Authority board; the board took no vote and will consider written comments.","actionData","errors"]
