Connor Butterfield of Lochner provided the board with a consolidated update on current airfield projects, procurement timelines and outstanding funding questions.

Taxiw ay Charlie: Butterfield said the project will be advertised for bids next week and that bids will be opened on July 25. The work will rehabilitate the segment at the runway tie-in and extend back about 1,400 feet; the design narrows the taxiway to 25 feet to meet standards for the airports primary aircraft.

Snow-removal equipment (SRE): Lochner has submitted equipment specifications to the Federal Aviation Administration for review. Butterfield said manufacturers told the firm a truck could be available in January if funding and procurement proceed on the proposed schedule. FAA-funded acquisitions require a minimum one-year warranty; manufacturers offered optional extended warranties (three, five or seven years) for local funds. Butterfield said a quoted seven-year warranty option was approximately $6,800 and would cover certain major systems (engine, emissions, transmission) but that the board would need to fund any extended warranty locally.

Taxi lane Kilo: The new taxi lane design is moving forward; that package will be sent to the FAA next week and is expected to be advertised for bidding in late July.

PAPI relocation: Butterfield reported he had obtained environmental clearance to move the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) control units the inspector identified as misplaced. The control units must be moved roughly 120 feet. Cash Valley Electric provided a preliminary cost estimate in the range of $75,000 to $125,000, but the company said it had not yet refined the scope. Butterfield asked the board whether the work could be funded locally to expedite the schedule or whether Utah State University/other partners might have already budgeted funds; a board member noted earlier discussions where the university was expected to participate.

Master plan: Butterfield said the FAA is reviewing the airport master plan; board members asked for the narrative portion of the plan to be circulated (the exhibits had been shared at a public meeting but the narrative was not distributed to the full board). Staff agreed to route the document to Janine for dissemination and to confirm whether revisions would require further public process or additional FAA review.

No formal funding decision was made at the meeting. Board members emphasized adherence to procurement and purchasing policies for projects of the estimated PAPI cost if local funds are used.
