Ms. Borgione called the regular board meeting to order at 12:07 p.m. Ms. Borgione made a motion to approve the minutes from the July 15^th, 2008 board meeting as written. Ms. Collinson seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

Fiber Optic Project: Mr. Hanson updated the board on the fiber optic project. Recently the fiber optic cable was pulled from the Service Area building to the treatment plant. We are now waiting for the new box to be installed in the office closet and once that is in place we will be able to connect and utilize this upgrade. At the July meeting, Mr. Hanson discussed the deteriorating phone lines in our building and mentioned that in conjunction with this fiber cable we also ran a 25 pair copper phone cable from our building to the pump station. Gary Hutchins, Snowbird’s telecommunication specialist has inspected the new phone system to make sure it is operating properly. Ms. Borgione asked Mr. Hanson if Snowbird charges the Service Area for Mr. Hutchins service. Mr. Hanson stated that we have exchanged services by giving Snowbird our good phone lines and the use of 6 pairs to the Hilton, which requires attention in their phone system communication. Ms. Borgione asked why there is no voice mail on 1340 line. Because this is a Snowbird Corporation extension it may not be possible to have voice mail on this particular line, although Mr. Hanson will research the options and discuss this with our phone experts.

Superior Lot Paving: As part of the fiber optic project the asphalt in the Superior lot was core cut. To repair this area, Mr. Hanson has scheduled Miller Paving to re-pave portions in the Superior lot. Mr. Hanson also spoke with Jerry Giles regarding asphalting the side walk in front of parking structure. This is the area that was tied in for the new employee housing building. By using asphalt, rather than concrete will save costs overall. Both of these projects should be taking place tomorrow.

Superior Mine: Mr. Hanson reviewed photos of the Superior Mine and of the flume for water measurement with the board of trustees. Dick Fluhe joined Mr. Hanson in touring this mine, which is only 150 feet deep. The entrance to the tunnel was cleaned out and a 6" flex pipe was placed on the floor with a sand bag dam for the water to come out. A 24" diameter pipe was placed above the dam and the tunnel was sealed. Mr. Hanson stated that the flow is at 125 gpm. For the next year, we will monitor and record flow data and collect water tests.

Sewer Routine Maintenance: Crews working for Cottonwood Improvement District have completed flushing the sewer line beginning at the Town of Alta and down to entry #1. Two sewer issues have surfaced as result of this project. Cottonwood Improvement District used their tv equipment to inspect the sewer main near the Searle’s residence in the Town of Alta and discovered a sag in the line, which causes an occasional sewer odor. The new sewer main on Blackjack road, installed in the Sugarplum 4, 5, 9 development, may not have adequate slope for the low amount of sewer flow. These two areas will be flushed twice a year.

Valve Vault at Peruvian Spring: Mr. Hanson announced that we will not be installing a valve vault at the Peruvian Spring this year.

Bay City Mine Shoring Project Update: Mr. Hanson reported that the miner’s hired by the Town of Alta have completed the shoring project. Mr. Hanson had before and after photos of this project for the trustees to review.

Antimony Pilot Bay City: The Service Area continues to conduct the antimony pilot work for the Town of Alta. Mr. Hanson has been providing his expertise during this project and also communicating with the engineer Thayne Clark with Bowens & Collins. A preliminary report is expected soon from Bowen & Collins.

Salt Lake County Service Area #3 – Policy & Procedures Manual Update: Mr. Hanson reviewed a recent email he received regarding policy and procedures review proposals from attorney Mark Anderson. The 3 options/costs are: 1. Update portions of the manual that have been specifically identified as being in non-compliance by the Utah Retirement Systems, (URS), would be a cost under $1,000. 2. Expand on option #1 and include portions of the manual that were recognized by URS as potentially in non-compliance (in addition to the specific sections that were identified as being non-compliant), the cost under $1,500. 3. Updating the entire manual, including sections 1 through 20, the cost under $10,000. Mr. Hanson suggested to the board to begin by addressing the non-compliance and potential non-compliance issues and then prioritize for another $2,500-$3,000 for this year. Trustees, Borgione and Collinson were in agreement with Mr. Hanson in proceeding with reviewing the policies and procedures manual. Mr. Hanson may invite Mark Anderson to a board meeting.

Upgrades in Wasatch Treatment Plant: New chlorine and sulphur dioxide tubing was pulled into the treatment plant the same time the fiber optic was done. The tubing requires being changed every few years since the chemicals decay the line.

While testing the new chlorine tubing, Mr. Hanson discovered a failed contactor on one of the pumps and is currently looking for parts.

September into October, Mr. Hanson will begin replacing valves in the tunnel.

Mr. Hanson stated that we are beginning the on-going system maintenance and have recently finished service on the pressure reducing stations and we will begin exercising valves and cleaning them out getting ready for the winter.

Sampling rotation requirements for this year include trihalomethanes, radium, lead and copper.

Mr. Hanson obtained some large diameter used pipe from a Snyderville Basin project. This excess pipe can be used for culverts and wash-outs.

Mr. Hanson reviewed with the Board of Trustees the financial reports for the period ending July 31, 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 July 16^th, 2008 through August 19^th, 2008 payment registers, as presented by Mr. Hanson hereby be authorized and ratified to be paid by the manager. Ms. Collinson 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 12:58 p.m.
