The Cache County Airport Authority Board voted to institute a revolving taxi-lane infrastructure account funded by fees assessed on hangars built on existing paved taxi lanes.
Speaker 5 (identified in the meeting as George) moved to adopt the replacement-fee system as presented. “I would move that we adopt this replacement fee system as stated,” George said. Speaker 1 seconded the motion. After a brief discussion about whether fees should be assessed more broadly to fund maintenance across the airport, the board voted by voice. One member voiced opposition; the chair declared the motion passed.
Under the proposal presented by the chair (speaker 4), the replacement fee would be charged by the front foot of hangar construction and dedicated to building taxi lanes. The draft fee schedule provided to the board grouped aircraft into two categories: group 1 (typical small aircraft such as Piper or Cessna) listed at $500 per front-foot and group 2 (corporate jets) listed at $1,000 per front-foot. The chair emphasized the revenues would be earmarked and “will not be available for any other use other than further expansion of taxi lanes on the airport.”
Several board members urged caution about exempting private developers who build taxi lanes and discussed the equity of charging only new builders. One board member suggested creating a broader assessment across the airport so older sections could also benefit; the chair and staff said the new account is intended to be restricted to taxi-lane construction so it would not be used for general maintenance.
Vote and next steps: the motion was moved and seconded, the board adopted the revolving taxi-lane infrastructure account by voice vote with at least one recorded nay (speaker 3). Staff will finalize the exact language, confirm cost estimates from recent projects to calibrate fees and bring the refined language back to the board for inclusion in lease and fee schedules.
