Emergency Mine Repair
Recently, Mr. Hanson discovered small rocks on the walk-way of the incline to the Wasatch Drain Tunnel. He noticed there were larger pieces of rock hanging from the chain link above the same area. Mr. Hanson had photos available for review for the trustees. Dynatech miners examined the area and prepared a bid for Mr. Hanson. The miners removed ½ of a dump truck load of rock from the weak areas and installed 19 rock anchors. The entire project conducted by the miner’s was $4,438.00. The miner’s recommended to shock treat into the incline within 5 years, although Mr. Hanson stated that is very expensive and will continue to have areas examined on an annual basis.
Phone System
The new phone system is functioning well. Mr. Hanson will have the phone technician come up again to install the card, which allows one to open downstairs door from the system. The fire department continues to have problems with their system. Station crew had requested through UFA logistics for an additional line and inadvertently their only line was disconnected. It was then requested to have their lines through the Service Area, although Mr. Hanson stated that Station #113 needs to run their Qwest service through UFA.
RWAU-Conference-
The end of February, Mr. Hanson and Mr. McIntosh attended a seminar on collection system audits at the Cottonwood Improvement District. The EPA is mandating an audit of sewage collection systems, making certain they are maintained properly. The Service Area is a satellite collection system to Cottonwood Improvement, so in the event Cottonwood Improvement District was to be audited by the EPA, is when the Service Area would be involved. Mr. Hanson remarked that it was a very worthwhile seminar.

Mr. Hanson discussed the benefits of having Workers Compensation coverage for the Service Area trustees. The annual increase will be $363.00. Ms. Borgione made a motion approving Workers Compensation coverage through Utah Local Governments Trust, which will be begin April 1, 2009 when our policy renews. Ms. Collinson seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The clerk will confirm this coverage with ULGT.

Mr. Hanson reviewed the revised By-Laws as prepared by attorney Mark Anderson, with the trustees. Mr. Hanson referenced page 5. Article II-(2.6 and 2.7),-Quorum and Trustee Compensation. Mr. Hanson also discussed page 7. Article III-(3.3.3)-Duties of Officers/Clerk.
