Helena Regional Airport Authority Confirms Officers, Reports November Meeting

The Helena Regional Airport Authority met on November 18, 2025 as part of its regular monthly schedule, and its public web page has been updated to reflect the Authority structure and officers for the 2025 to 2026 term. The Authority is an independent, financially self sustaining entity created by a joint resolution of the City and County, and it is governed by a seven member commission appointed by the City and County Commissions.

The Authority page provides practical information for the public including the names of officers for the current term, the typical meeting schedule and links to meeting minutes and upcoming meeting dates. Meetings are generally held on the third Tuesday of each month at 11 30 a.m. in the Airport Boardroom located at 2850 Mercer Loop. The web page also includes a meeting minutes archive and contact information for the Authority.

A notable governance development this year is the establishment of a Board of Adjustment in 2025. The new board is listed on the Authority page and contact details are provided. The addition of the Board of Adjustment adds another layer to airport governance and offers a formal channel for handling matters that require review outside the regular commission process.

For residents of Lewis and Clark County the updates mean clearer pathways to follow airport decision making and to participate in public meetings. The commission appointment process ties the Authority to locally elected bodies, while the Authority's independent financial status signals that it manages its own budgetary affairs. The meeting minutes archive allows citizens to review past discussions and decisions, bolstering transparency.

Beyond local governance, the Authority plays a role in connecting Helena to broader economic and social networks. Airports serve as points of access for business travel, tourism and emergency services, and stable governance and transparent public meetings help ensure those connections remain responsive to community needs.

Residents who want to attend or review past meetings can find dates and minutes on the Authority web page and can use the listed contact information for questions or to request materials. With regular meeting times and a public archive, the Helena Regional Airport Authority is providing predictable opportunities for civic engagement as it carries out its responsibilities for airport oversight.
