Ms. Borgione called the regular board meeting to order at 12:10 p.m. Ms. Borgione made a motion to approve the minutes from the June 17^th, 2008 board meeting as written. Ms. Collinson seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

In the event trustees would like to review the monthly board meeting minutes, they may obtain a copy of the recorded minutes from the clerk.

Mr. Hanson noted that Mr. Bennett was not present at the July 11^th, 2008 work session meeting. Items discussed at that meeting are included on today’s agenda.

Mr. Hanson discussed his concerns with the Peruvian Reservoir. The late season run-off has resulted in high water flows filling the Peruvian vault and causing problems in this area. Mr. Hanson inspected the reservoir taking several photos, which he displayed to the board. Mr. Hanson explained that the run-off from Baldy Flats disappears, is a concern that there may be surface water infiltration into our water source. Thomas Excavating cleared the road of snow in order to further investigate this issue. Mr. Hanson conducted two separate dye tests, which did not surface anywhere. Mr. Hanson suspects that the water is most likely going back into a large formation under Baldy. Mr. Hanson would like to install a valve and vault at Peruvian to assist in the run-off.

We are still waiting for the Utah Association of Special Districts to send us a copy of the "Trustee Training", along with certificates of course completion for each of the trustees. Mr. Hanson stated that Ms. Lisenbee addressed a letter to Legrand Bitter with the association addressing consideration of mail in voting for our elections. Since this year is not an election year for the Service Area, it would be preferable if we could have Mr. Bitter represent this issue for the Service Area in the next legislative session.

Mr. Hanson is expecting to hear from attorney Mark Anderson today with information on proceeding with review of our policies and procedures manual and costs for this service.

The Wasatch Drain tunnel has undergone significant improvements with the recent painting on the filtration system. PureFlow Company who has equipment in the tunnel had a production team film a video in the tunnel, which Mr. Hanson participated in.

The Columbus-Rexall mine and the zinc in the creek issue has re-surfaced. Steve Jensen has met with Mr. Hanson and they are working together to find alternatives to this issue.

Cottonwood Improvement District will begin their routine maintenance of flushing the sewer lines. They will begin at Powder Ridge and work down to entry #1.

The conduit for the fiber optic project is now in place and the cables will be pulled from the Service Area building to the pump station next week.

Along with discussion of the fiber optic project, Mr. Hanson discussed continuing problems we are experiencing with our computer, telemetry, scada, network system and phone. There are old copper phone lines which come from the Center to the Hilton and then to the Service Area. These lines are deteriorating and are therefore causing problems for us. Mr. Hanson stated that recently we lost our paging line and would not receive data. We also had a failure in our switching within our network and went for almost 4 days without receiving automatic pages and without the ability to access the computers remotely. Mr. Hanson has consulted with Mark Jepson with SKM and another computer expert to discuss this problem.

The Town of Alta has completed phase 1, which is the funding and the pilot testing for the Bay City Mine. Last week, the Town called a meeting to begin discussions for phase 2 of this project, which is the preliminary design for the water treatment facility in the Bay City Mine. Mr. Hanson, Thayne Clark with Bowen & Collins and Division of Drinking Water representatives were present at this meeting. It was determined that the Town of Alta can act as owner and contractor for this project. As of the end of May 2008, the Town of Alta has paid an additional amount of $5,530.00 for services provided to them for this project. The Town will hold another meeting in August.

Mr. Hanson noted that there was a $12,000 additional change order for the Bay City Mine shoring project. The miners have been working on repairing weak areas in the roof line. There is now additional shoring involving breaking rock to have access to the rails in the mine.

Mr. Hanson gave members of the board copies to review of the upcoming water symposium hosted by the "Friends of Alta" and being held in Albion Basin at Alf’s Restaurant on August 20^th, 2008.

Now that the 2007 audit has been completed, audit adjustments have been entered to reflect to actual financial data. We are still waiting for depreciation amounts to enter for 2008 monthly memorized transactions.

Mr. Hanson reviewed with the Board of Trustees the financial reports for the period ending June 30, 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.

Ms. Borgione moved that the bills listed on the June 18^th, 2008 through July 15^th, 2008 payment registers, as presented by Mr. Hanson hereby be authorized and ratified to be paid by the manager. Mr. Bennett seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. A copy of the approved bills is attached to the minutes.

There being no further business to be discussed, a motion to adjourn was made, seconded and unanimously carried at 1:06 p.m.

Salt Lake County Service Area #3-Snowbird
