Votes at a glance: county approves airport ownership contingencies, FBO contract extension option and a snowmobile trail reroute
The Sawyer County Board of Supervisors approved three separate items affecting the airport and county trails.

Hayward Aviation ownership change: The board approved a resolution to allow the purchase of a retiring owner’s 50% share in Hayward Aviation LLC by a proposed buyer, contingent on four conditions: (1) a unanimous written resolution of Hayward Aviation LLC approving the sale, (2) a percentage interest agreement within Hayward Aviation LLC reflecting the transfer, (3) assignment and assumption documents effectuating the 50% transfer to the buyer, and (4) the buyer securing financing for the purchase. County staff said the county will not release personal guarantees until the private‑company contingencies are complete. Supervisor Righeimer moved the contingent resolution; Supervisor Newman seconded. The motion carried.

FBO agreement amendment: The county approved a first amendment to the fixed‑base operator (FBO) agreement at Hayward Airport that adds an option for a third five‑year extension to the contract. County staff said the bank financing the buyer requested a longer predictable contract term to strengthen lending security. Supervisor Adweek moved the amendment; Supervisor Newman seconded. After discussion of airport revenues and recent runway resurfacing, the motion carried.

Trail 30 reroute and County B crossing: The board approved a reroute of Trail 30 that shifts a snowmobile crossing on County Highway B to a location near the Rod and Gun Club; county staff and a trail representative said the change improves visibility and safety. Supervisor Newman moved the crossing approval; Supervisor Hellwig seconded. The motion carried.
