The Summit County Commission will be meeting with the South Summit Sum-mit School Board Thursday evening, March 10, to discuss the possibility of obtaining the land where the old South Summit Elementary school stands to be used as a location for a new county building. According to tests and studies, the building is not worth renovating because of leaks, asbestos and structural struc-tural problems, with regard to the type of building the county could use. Under the commission's plan, if it got the land, the building would be demolished and a new complex would be built to house various county coun-ty deparments which are presently scattered in several areas around Kamas. ' The commission is prepared to ask that the land be donated to the county coun-ty from the school district, so that taxpayers don't have to in effect, "pay for it twice," said commissioner commis-sioner Jim Soter. "That would be double taxation," he told . the Record. During a February commission meeting, architect Kevin Watts presented three proposals for the use of the ground, which is on the Kamas Main Street. He said such a complex could house the sheriff's department, judicial offices and a small court room, the health department, depart-ment, a library, and a road equipment equip-ment and ambulance shed. Park Record Thursday, March 10, 1988 Page A5 Special meeting March 10 The Summit County Commission has announced it will be holding a -, special meeting Thursday, March 10, in Salt Lake City. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the tri-county railway with Union Pacific officials. It will be held at 11 a.m. at 1st S. 406 W. Kimball shed remains open The Utah Department of Transportation's road shed at Kimball Junction Junc-tion will remain open, despite past rumors that it would be closed because of budget cutbacks. Park City Mayor Hal Taylor said he recently received a letter from UDOT official Sheldon McConkie who said UDOT had considered closing it, but decided such a move would be "foolish" after reviewing the possibility. "They decided it would not serve the community right," said the mayor. "I think it's great that they're leaving it open. They simply couldn't close it," said Taylor. "It would have wreaked havoc on us, especially on the snowy days and the big visitation days." Two commission seats open The filing time period for people wishing to run for the Summit County Commission is March 15 to April 15, and should be made through the county clerk's office. Two positions are up for election, and are presently held by Tom Flinders and Ron Robinson. Summit County on display... Some of the many faces and places of Summit County have just been produced in a slick, four-color booklet published by request of the Summit County Commission. About 10,000 copies of the brochure were printed at a cost of $30,000, commissioners said, and they have been distributed at several locations around the county, as well as the Utah Travel Council offices in Salt Lake City. In Park City, they can be found at the ChamberBureau. According to commission chairman Tom Flinders, the county has not published a brochure since about 1972. The coordinator of the brochure project was Bill Clinger, former special events coordinator for the county. The design and production of the publication was done by The Marty Group and Capitol Marketing and Communications. Tax note purchased The Summit County Commission agreed March 2 to purchase a $2 million tax anticipation note from First Interstate Bank. The interest rate on tLa rote is 5.66 percent. The commission had solicited bids for both $2 million and $1 million notes, but after a number of bids came in and the interest rate between bet-ween the two amounts from the low bidder wasn't that much different, county treasurer Glen Thompson urged the commission to indebt the county for the higher amount. He noted that the interest rate on the proposal was for "right now," and it could change if the county waited and took out another note later in the year. "Lord knows what's going to happen to the interest rates in an election year," he said. Besides, the county can make some money from the note through arbitrage. "We're not going to lose any money by doing this," said Thompson'. First Interstate's offer covers the cost of any legal fees that might be incurred. . I I' I Atkinson contracts with SID The Summit County Commission agreed March 2 to contract for services ser-vices for the Atkinson Special Service Ser-vice District with the Snyderville Basin Sewer Improvement District. The contract, for $5,500 per year, will provide routine services for the operation of the system but not for emergency services, said Rex Ausburn, manager of the Snyderville Snyder-ville Basin SID. The Atkinson system will serve Silver Summit and the new industrial park. Homeowners will pay $4,000 of the bill and the county will pay $1,500. Ausburn explained that when the project was being constructed, the homeowners of Silver Summit worked work-ed up a $4,000 budget for their part of the pay-back costs for the system. When the industrial park, proposal came to fruition and the system was expanded, the homeowners pointed out that the county should foot part of the bill until businesses become located in the park and can pay for the operation and maintenance of their connections, "We will be providing contract operational services," noted Ausburn, "but we are not, in any way, the owners of the system. We will just maintain it for them providing pro-viding office and field services." He said after the system comes on line in the next few months, the Snyderville Snyder-ville Basin SID will also process the bills to the consumers, then deposit that money into the fund for the special service district. The contract was signed for one year . Peoa Park needs funds Summit County Commissioners are considering a request for $2,000 from the Peoa Park Association for materials to complete the park. Glen Thompson, chairman of the park association, said the town is presently building two parks, and the one in Woodenshoe is in need of materials such as fencing. He explained that when complete, the park will include a horse riding arena and a ball park. Use of those facilities will be open to anyone at no charge. The work and services used up until now have all been donated, he said, and $8,000 to $9,000 has already been spent. "The people there have really contributed quite a bit in labor and time," said Thompson, who added that further labor would also be donated. Summit County is the trustee of the park land, and Peoa town has a 50-year lease on it. Water predictions low The U.S. Forest Service is predicting that snowfall may only be 70 percent per-cent of normal this year, and has noted that snow measurements at Mirror Mir-ror Lake in the Uinta Mountains is presently about 50 percent. For January, the Forest Service expected that 6.7 inches of precipitation precipita-tion would fall, but the county actually received only 4.5 inches. In February, 10.2 inches was expected, but 8.1 inches were received. The expectation ex-pectation for March is 13.2 inches, and for April is 15.9 As of the end of February, water levels were down about 25 percent across the state. CONGRATULATIONS!
