Prior to calling the regular meeting to order, Mr. Hanson introduced to the board members, Mr. Chis Cage. Besides being a full-time fire fighter/engineer with Unified Fire Authority, Mr. Cage announced to the board that Karen Morgan will be vacating her house district seat and running for the senate seat. Therefore, Mr. Cage will be running for Utah House District #46, which includes Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons and a section of Cottonwood Heights City. Mr. Cage is a long time resident of the Cottonwood Heights area and also very familiar with Little Cottonwood Canyon. Mr. Cage addressed his platform of concerns such as growth impact, safety, environmental responsibilities and elderly services to name a few. Mr. Cage encourages the board to address any issues and or suggestions they might have and would appreciate our support in the upcoming election.

The Town of Alta passed this resolution on March 13^th, 2008. Referring to paragraph #2 of this resolution the monthly operations fee paid by Alta to the Service Area will increase from $1,300 to $1,500 per month. Mr. Hanson then presented Salt Lake County Service Area #3-Resolution #2008-2 to the board of trustees. This resolution is unchanged with the exception of the operations fee increase. With no further discussion, Ms. Borgione made a motion adopting and approving Salt Lake County Service Area #3-Resolution #2008-2, which authorizes the extension and amendment of the interlocal service agreement between the Town of Alta and Salt Lake County Service Area #3.

Mr. Hanson and Mr. McIntosh recently attended the annual Rural Water Association of Utah conference in St. George. Unfortunately, the Service Area did not win the water taste test award, although the RWAU president and our previous General Manager, Doug Evans water from Oakley won this award. Mr. Hanson stated that he attended several classes, which were very informative, including water rights classes at State levels.

After the RWAU conference, Mr. Hanson attended the State of Utah-Division of Drinking Water board meeting in representation of the Town of Alta and requesting another variance from the board. The board would like to see the Town of Alta continue with treatment options for antimony. Division of Drinking Water Director, Mr. Ken Bousfield gave the board an update on the Town of Alta receiving legislative appropriation which began at $750,000 but has after legislation has been cut to $450,000 appropriation for a treatment facility. The drinking water board oversees grants and loans, and during Mr. Bousfield’s presentation to them, stressed that the board be prepared to issue a grant for this project.

Mr. Hanson will be working with Thayne Clark with Bowen & Collins in the Bay City Mine. They will wash the media and begin testing the 3 pilot columns. The main test will run for two months and thereafter until exhaustion. Based on data results from those two months will determine preliminary to full scale design. The 3 irons medias used during this testing period are gfh, sorb-33 and basf.

Mr. Hanson announced to the board that Tom Ward will be leaving his engineering position with Bowen, Collins & Associates and has accepted the position of Deputy Director of Salt Lake Public Utilities. Mr. Hanson will now be working with Chris Michael, who is the principle engineer with Bowen, Collins & Assoc. as well as their inorganic scientist. Ava Niminski environmental scientist with the Division of Drinking Water will be involved in overseeing this pilot test.

Mr. Hanson had an opportunity to order 4000 feet of fiber optic cable through SKM, at a significantly reduced price of 50 cents per foot. Since there is a hold of the Superior Residents Club and employee housing projects this summer, we will be unable to cost share this project with Snowbird. Mr. Hanson stated that the copper wiring is becoming so corroded that the telemetry communication is an issue. Last summer during the employee housing construction new wiring was installed from the pump station to the bus stop. We will continue running the fiber optic cable from the bus stop to the fire station building this summer.

This week Mr. Hanson will meet with the Division of Drinking Water to discuss stage 2 of the disinfection by-product rule. Distribution System Evaluation for the Service Area is due by April 1^st, 2008.

To date the Service Area has not received the compliance audit from the Utah Retirement Systems.

The Service Area has received a notice of claim from Workers Compensation Fund, which is intent to pursue a subrogation lien against the Service Area for damages incurred by claimant from Wasatch Drain Tunnel incident. Mr. Hanson has contacted ULGT regarding this issue and our insurance underwriter has informed us not to respond to this matter.

Mr. Hanson reviewed with the Board of Trustees the financial reports for the period ending February 29, 2008. Mr. Hanson presented a balance sheet previous year comparison and a profit and loss budget vs. actual report, as prepared by the staff of Salt Lake County Service Area #3.
