Airport authority adopts landing fees for nonbased aircraft over 6,000 pounds
Summary
The Logan-Cache Airport Authority Board approved Resolution 2025-1 to charge landing fees for nonbased aircraft over 6,000 pounds; staff estimated about $20,000 in annual revenue and noted a vendor fee of 22 percent.
The Logan-Cache Airport Authority Board voted to approve Resolution 2025-1 to adopt landing fees at Logan Cache Airport that would apply only to nonbased aircraft weighing over 6,000 pounds.
Board members approved the resolution after discussion about scope and implementation; one board member recorded a nay but the motion carried. Staff estimated the change would generate about $20,000 a year and said vendor fees for the tracking/collection service would be 22 percent of revenue.
The resolution, as presented to the board, excludes based (local) aircraft and small aircraft; the board chair and staff said they do not intend to expand the fee to based aircraft at this time. Board members discussed whether a public hearing would be required for a measure that affected based aircraft and agreed that, because the resolution is limited to nonbased aircraft over 6,000 pounds, a public hearing was not necessary.
Staff described the operational approach: the authority will use the existing vendor that integrates with the airport's current tracking system (Vertower), which staff said is available under state contract and would not require a separate fee process. The board did not request changes to the resolution text during the meeting.
Notes: The transcript records a single recorded nay and does not list the total number of yes votes or the names of individual voters; the transcript also records numerical estimates and vendor-fee percentages as stated by staff.
