REGULAR MEETING MINUTES APPROVAL

Ms. Borgione called the regular board meeting to order at 12:04 p.m. Ms. Borgione made a motion to approve the minutes from the September 18th, 2007 board meeting. Ms. Collinson seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

SYSTEM OPERATIONS AND DEVELOPMENT

Mr. Hanson has received verbal approval from Ken Bousfield, the Director of the Division of Drinking Water and their engineering section to begin using water from the Peruvian Spring. Water flows have increased from 30 gpm to 70 gpm. Mr. Hanson reviewed photos of the entire Peruvian Project with the Board. As of October 11, 2007 the combined Peruvian Source improvement project including the line replacement is $81,457.00. We are still waiting for charges from Snowbird for $22,000.00 and additional charges from Dan Lucas for the gravel. Mr. Hanson stated that the final cost for this project will be approximately $110,000.00. Tom Ward will be converting the current Peruvian Source drawings to a cad format for official as-builts for the State. Mr. Ward will also present an engineer’s letter to the State informing them that we did not make any significant changes to the system from the original design. After State review of these documents, the Service Area can expect a formal letter of approval.

The contractors for the new employee housing project continue to struggle with moving utility lines. Currently they are crossing the by-pass road for the gas line. They managed to hit the power line last week and we lost power in the Wasatch Drain Tunnel and the Pump Station until late Friday evening.

The Superior Residents Club footprint has been increased an additional 60 feet for the drilling for the wall. Snowbird is in the process of putting the highway drain in a culvert west of us. The Service Area telemetry lines run right through this area. Snowbird has been doing a good job so far without damaging our lines, although now they must move the entire platform 60 feet, which will require our lines to be moved. Mr. Hanson will be monitoring this project to avoid damage to our lines.

Mr. Hanson advised the board that we had an issue with our summer maintenance worker, which resulted in a termination. We have acquired additional assistance from Kellie Hunsaker and Mark Michael.

The clerk has appointed Sara Shaw as an election judge for the upcoming trustee election. We are still in need of a second judge and will need to appoint someone by October 22, 2007. Emilee Walker from the Snowbird Pharmacy is interested in the position and will be in contact with the clerk. Besides voting for our trustee position, voters within the Service Area may also vote for Referendum 1 and the School District Issue.

On November 8, 2007, two representatives will visit the Service Area office to conduct a compliance review as a participating employer with the Utah Retirement Systems as directed in Utah State Retirement Law, Title 49,- 49-11-604.

Mr. Hanson discussed the Purchasing Policy at the most recent work session with the Board. Per Mr. Hanson’s review there are no necessary revisions to this document dated 12/10//97. Under section 6.9 of the Policies and Procedures manual it is now stated that the Service Area’s detailed Purchasing Policy is located in Appendix 27. The board then reviewed with Mr. Hanson the revised sections 9 through 12 of the Policies and Procedures manual. After a thorough review of these sections, Ms. Borgione made a motion approving sections 9 through 12 of the Salt Lake County Service Area #3-Policies and Procedures manual. Ms. Collinson seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

2008 PRELIMINARY BUDGET REVIEW

As per State requirements, the general manager must provide our Board with a proposed budget at the October meeting. The trustees received copies of the preliminary 2008 budget and it was discussed.

TREASURER’S REPORT

Mr. Hanson reviewed with the Board of Trustees the financial reports for the period ending September 30, 2007. Mr. Hanson presented a balance sheet previous year comparison and a profit and loss budget vs. actual report, as prepared by the clerk of Salt Lake County Service Area #3. Included in the financial data presented today, a funds transfer was made from our general savings account to our checking account for $40,000 on September 11, 2007. Mr. Hanson also made a $30,000 transfer on October 11, 2007 from our general savings to our checking account. This will be reflected on the October financial information.

 

APPROVAL OF BILLS PAID

Ms. Borgione moved that the bills listed on the September 19th, 2007 through October 16th, 2007 payment registers, as presented by Mr. Hanson hereby be authorized and ratified to be paid by the manager.
