Rick reported to Commissioners that there are two agreements between SJC and SITLA on roads in Spanish Valley.

He also stated that they (SITLA) would like the county to vacate certain sections of these roads because there is already access to the areas the roads lead. Rick presented a request to approve Amendment 1 to Easement 1080. A motion to approve the request was made by Commissioner Phil Lyman. Commissioner Kenneth Maryboy seconded the motion. None opposed. Vote unanimous. Rick reported to Commissioners that the Mexican Hat Water Treatment System consists of two wells close to the San Juan River, a transmission line and raw storage tank, a treatment system consisting of pre-filters, a GE Osmonics reverse osmosis filtering treatment system, disinfection, and a finished water storage tank. The system has a capacity of receiving 95 GPM, with about a 50% recovery rate. It was installed in 2004 and its purpose was to remove sulfates, arsenic and thallium. Both wells are rather shallow within bedrock. The pre-filters normally last at least six months but are now lasting less than one month during dry periods. During wetter periods, when the San Juan River is higher the water quality improves and the treatment plant does not have problems. When the plant was installed it was probably not known that iron and manganese would be a problem. While the wells are right next to the river, it is only during high flows in the river that the water apparently spills into the well aquifer and improves the water quality. The Division of Drinking Water for Utah has also pointed out that the wells are under the influence of surface water and as such need to have an ETV approved filtering system. It is felt that an ETV approved filter can take care of the iron and manganese also. In other words, a new filtering system would take care of the surface water influence during the wet periods and the iron and manganese during dryer periods. Rick stated that the total cost of the improvements are estimated at close to $400,000 and presented a request to add it to the overall county CIB priority list. A motion to approve the request was made by Commissioner Kenneth Maryboy. Commissioner Phil Lyman seconded the motion. None opposed. Vote unanimous. Rick presented a request for Commissioners, acting as the Administrative Control Board for the Mexican Hat Special Service District; approve a Permanent Community Impact Fund Board Supplemental Form for Drinking Water and Waste Water Projects in Mexican Hat. A motion to approve the request was made by Commissioner Kenneth Maryboy. Commissioner Phil Lyman seconded the motion. None opposed. Vote unanimous. Rick presented a request to approve a DEQ operating plan with Cal Black Airport in the amount of $15,985.40. Rick stated that the county’s portion is 5% ($799.40) and the FAA will be covering 95% ($15,186), for a PSEIS Noise Grant. A motion to approve the request was made by Commissioner Phil Lyman. Commissioner Kenneth Maryboy seconded the motion. None opposed. Vote unanimous. Rick reported to Commissioners that right now the state collects $2 per tire as a disposal fee at the landfills while the county is collecting $1 per pasture tire and $2 per truck tire disposal fee. Rick presented a request to charge $2 per pasture tire and $5 per truck tire for disposal fees. A motion to approve the request was made by Commissioner Kenneth Maryboy. Commissioner Phil Lyman seconded the motion. None opposed. Vote unanimous. Rick presented a request to CONSIDER FOR ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE CREATION OF A LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY BY SAN JUAN COUNTY, UTAH; AUTHORIZING OFFICIAL ACTION; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
