The donor said he had given a 30‑day window for the city to accept his offer and subsequently withdrew it. Board members discussed whether the city council or the airport board should advance the project and debated whether taxpayer funds should be used to advertise private businesses. Several participants described the planned sign as serving both as airport identification and as a visual face for the airport that could include participating business names.

Options discussed included:
- Reviving a private-funding proposal with broader contributions from businesses that use the airport;
- Seeking support or sponsorship from sign companies (one board member said Mike Young of Young Electric Sign Company has sign-plant resources and might contribute or pay for the sign);
- Investigating grant funding through state aeronautics associations, while noting engineering requirements could increase costs;
- The airport board formally recommending a sign and associated budget to the city council.

Board members emphasized the need to convene airport stakeholders (tenants and businesses) to develop a revised plan. No formal motion or city council action was recorded at the meeting.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","Hurricane City Airport Board Meeting - 2025-07-15-ABR","oneSentenceSummary","A private donor withdrew a $1,800 offer to fund an entrance sign after the city did not act before a 30‑day period elapsed.

Zundell, introduced during the meeting as a former board member now serving as airport manager, said he will keep regular hours, manage hangar leases and coordinate maintenance with public works. Board members asked him to prioritize a nonconfrontational hangar inspection program to check compliance with federal grant assurances and airport rules — including removing fuel containers from hangars and ensuring hangars contain aircraft as required by grant conditions.

Board members also raised structural issues: settling and a developing sinkhole north of the terminal; a crack running from a hangar through to the sidewalk near living quarters; and uneven hangar floors. Members recommended cleaning out the office building to permit a professional assessment of whether to repair or demolish the existing terminal building and living quarters. One member said the city budgeted about $50,000 this year for airport improvements.

The board discussed using one hangar for equipment storage (tractor, broom, blower) and possible modest living-quarters remodel funds to create a pilot lounge, staff office and vending space. Members emphasized taking a gradual, consultative approach to inspections and repairs to reduce resistance from hangar tenants; suggestions included holding an open meeting in a hangar to preview inspection plans.

Board members reported a recent FAA visit and noted several outdated directory listings; they asked that the airport manager coordinate updates to the city website and FAA directories. The board did not vote on any specific repairs during the meeting.","Dave Zundell was introduced as the new Hurricane Airport manager. Board members discussed hangar inspections (fuel storage, living-in-hangar concerns), a sinkhole and cracked terminal/hangar floors, a $50,000 budget allocation for improvements, and recommended a measured inspection approach.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":44,"_47":90,"_49":50,"_51":91,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":92,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":93,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510167,"Board members say five airport business licenses remain unissued after rule change",246,465000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5394595-c7e7ee7f9ddb817e2497bd4c485431c7&start=465&end=711","/articles/6510167/Utah/Board-members-say-five-airport-business-licenses-remain-unissued-after-rule-change","Airport tenants told the Hurricane Airport Board that five business licenses submitted over the last several months have not been issued following a rule change. Tenants called for clarification of the application routing and issuance process.

Board members and staff described the post–rule-change process: applicants (or airport manager staff) present applications and fees to the airport manager for initial checklist review; if the application meets the checklist criteria, the airport manager sends the package to Carrie, the city licensing officer, for issuance under the updated rules.

A tenant said he had paid for licenses months earlier and expected a short process; staff explained that rule changes during the period required reprocessing under new standards and that the five pending applications still needed to be checked against the updated criteria before issuance.

Board members suggested convening a short meeting with Carrie, the airport manager and the city employee who helped draft the process (Cindy, referenced as a reporter in the transcript) to align interpretations and speed issuance. No formal vote was taken; the board discussed streamlining the steps and clarifying who physically submits applications to the city.

The transcript indicates the airport manager (Dave Zundell) will be the gatekeeper to confirm checklist items are met before Carrie issues licenses under city procedure.","Several airport tenants reported that five business license applications remain unprocessed after a city rule update; staff described a new checklist and an updated routing procedure involving the airport manager and a city licensing officer named Carrie.",{"_33":95,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":96,"_41":97,"_43":98,"_45":99,"_47":100,"_49":50,"_51":101,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":102,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":103,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510172,"AWOS installation delayed to September–October, city staff say",52,205000,257000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5394595-c7e7ee7f9ddb817e2497bd4c485431c7&start=205&end=257","/articles/6510172/Utah/AWOS-installation-delayed-to-SeptemberOctober-city-staff-say","City staff updated the Hurricane Airport Board on the status of the airport’s Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS), saying installation of foundations, conduit and the AWOS tower is now expected in September or October.

According to an email read into the record, city staff relayed that electric contractor lead times and the time needed to obtain Federal Communications Commission licenses mean the AWOS equipment will not be installed in July as previously hoped. Once the AWOS equipment is on-site and FCC licenses are secured, staff said FAA commissioning will complete the installation process.

Board members noted the schedule represents progress but pushed back expectations for earlier completion. The board did not take any formal vote on the AWOS schedule during the meeting.

No funding or contract amendment details were provided in the transcript; staff stated that equipment lead time and licensing are the current constraints.

Board members discussed site needs for AWOS equipment, including a weatherproof cabinet or small shed and communications back to an office (likely fiber), and asked that the new airport manager coordinate terminal/office needs for AWOS operation.","City staff reported an updated schedule for the Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS): foundations and conduit installation are expected in September or October, with FAA commissioning following equipment installation and FCC licensing.",{"_33":105,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":106,"_41":107,"_43":108,"_45":109,"_47":110,"_49":50,"_51":111,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":112,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":113,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510176,"Hurricane Airport Board confirms quorum and approves minutes",3134,159000,3293000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5394595-c7e7ee7f9ddb817e2497bd4c485431c7&start=159&end=3293","/articles/6510176/Utah/Hurricane-Airport-Board-confirms-quorum-and-approves-minutes","The Hurricane Airport Board opened its meeting after confirming a quorum and approved the prior meeting minutes.
