Snowmaking Usage: To date, Snowbird has used 90 million gallons for snowmaking water, 10 million of that is from the additional 50 million requested from Salt Lake City. Snowbird is nearing completion of snowmaking usage and should be finished by the month's end. There were reports of some snowmaking problems in the Peruvian Gulch area, although repairs were made and system seems to be operating efficiently now.

Service Area Utility Truck: Mr. Hanson is waiting on quotes for a truck with utility bed from all the State contract holders-Ford, Chevrolet & Dodge. Thus far, the lowest quote Mr. Hanson has received is for $29,000 for a 2009 model. Once all quotes are received, Mr. Hanson will consult with board.

Mid-Gad Sewer Line Repair: Mr. Hanson discussed in detail at the January 15th, 2010 work session meeting the issue of the broken Mid-Gad sewer line, which consisted of a 2500 feet of frozen pipe. Hard labor by the Service Area, Snowbird and Cottonwood crews were involved in this project. Mr. Hanson reported of repairs to 5 breaks in this line. New line (1800 feet), was installed and is now operational. Mr. Hanson has met with Salt Lake City Water Shed and Salt Lake City to inspect this project. Snowbird will be burying this new line in the summer and testing of this line will be conducted. Mr. Hanson and Jim Baker discussed route alternative for incorporating snowmaking lines in during this project. Mr. Hanson stated that all hours expended by the Service Area for this project will be billed to Snowbird.

Preliminary Design/Treatment Plant: Mr. Hanson met with Pureflow to discuss the preliminary design of the refurbishment of the treatment plant in the drain tunnel. Mr. Hanson would like to modify the under drains in the filters by replacing the 21 year old pvc to the stainless steel under drains.

UFA Lease Agreement: After reviewing our current contract with Unified Fire Authority it was brought to Mr. Hanson's attention the necessity to revise this contract correcting the appropriate entities involved. Mr. Hanson has contacted the UFA administration and they will make the appropriate revisions and forward copies to us.

Patsy Marley/Cardiff Water Issues: Mr. Hanson has not been contacted regarding the potential Patsy Marley litigation. Salt Lake City contacted Mr. Hanson recently, informing him of a water application filed by Cardiff Fork Properties to appropriate and or change the point of diversion and place of use of 900 acre feet of water with up to 40 cfs of flow with the drainage of Big Cottonwood Creek. Mr. Hanson discussed with the board, the importance of protecting the Service Area tributaries and reviewed a draft of the Service Area response to this application. After discussion and revisions to this response, a copy will be hand delivered by January 20th, 2010 to the State of Utah-Division of Water Rights. Mr. Hanson has discussed this matter with Snowbird as well in order for them to file a separate response. Mr. Hanson will update the board as information becomes available
