The Granite County Airport Board listed consideration of a beacon ordinance and a technical update from a beacon manufacturer on its May 20, 2026 remote meeting agenda.
The agenda sets discussion of a "Recommendation of Beacon Ordinance" for about 7:15 p.m., and later lists an "Update from Beacon Manufacturer wrt connecting to PCL" at about 7:50 p.m. Board member Benton Rooks is named on the agenda as the person associated with the manufacturer update; the agenda does not include direct text of the proposal or a draft ordinance.
The agenda also lists Riddick Field beacon power under "Other topics," indicating the board intends to address power or performance issues tied to beacon equipment. The agenda does not record motions, proposed ordinance language, or votes; it identifies items for the board's review and potential recommendation.
Because the transcript is the meeting agenda rather than a verbatim record of discussion, no testimony, technical specifications, or vendor statements are included in the record provided. The agenda items suggest the board will consider both a policy/legal step (a beacon ordinance) and technical connectivity matters (manufacturer-to‑PCL integration), but the scope of any recommended action or the language of an ordinance is not specified in the agenda.
The board's consideration of beacon governance and equipment connectivity could affect how local airport beacons are sited, powered, or integrated with airport systems, but the agenda contains no adopted action or vote to report. The board scheduled these items for its May 20 meeting; any formal recommendation or ordinance language would need to be recorded in meeting minutes or a subsequent agenda item.
