Show Commission to call water district meeting Park Record Thursday, October 2, 1986 Page AS by R'CK BROUGH Record staff writer The Summit County Commission will call a formal public hearing to consider the proposed Snyderville Basin Water District. A date has not been set for the hearing, said Summit Sum-mit County General Services Director Direc-tor Stan Strebel, but it is likely the earliest date for it could be in mid-November. mid-November. Thi3 follows a Sept. 10 meeting on the proposal, which was an "educational "educa-tional process", according to attorney at-torney Steve Clyde. (Clyde is counsel to the Snyderville Basin Water District Feasibility Committee.) Commit-tee.) Clyde assessed the meeting during a discussion with the County Commission Com-mission in their regular Sept. 25 session. ses-sion. He said the water proposal got a few negative comments at the meeting, and those had been expected. ex-pected. The critics, he said, felt the proposed pro-posed water district would be moving mov-ing too slowly to solve problems in the area. A more aggressive approach might be for the district to enact general obligation bonds for $4-5 million. But he didn't know if the voters would support that, Clyde said. Commiissioner Tom Flinders suggested sug-gested a small-scale district with a manager can begin solving problems pro-blems and show the county's commitment com-mitment to a district. "For a bright guy to get out and start getting these things done, you don't need $100,000. (Initially, the water committee suggested sug-gested a $100,000 budget was needed to start a district.) The committee proposed an um brella district formed under Title 17, Chapter 6 of the Utah Code. Neighborhoods with particular problems pro-blems can form smaller districts under Title 11 of the Code to improve their systems. Clyde said the Title 11 districts will be desperate to get management. manage-ment. Sam Coleman, fire marshall of the Park City Fire District, said a manager could gather data on the location and status of water lines. Flinders said the manager could also negotiate with water companies to seek a way to convey their assets to the district. But, Commissioner Cliff Blonquist noted the district won't have the ability at first to acquire water resources. He was concerned, he said, about funding a manager who has nothing to manage. He also said the county should present pre-sent a clear idea of what the district will do. "I'm not going to go in a public meetiing and say let's form the district and pay the taxes and we'll decide what we do." Steve Clyde also discussed the possibility that large landowners might not want to join the district. He was inclined to cut them out of the district if they want, he said. But a 1706 district has to consist of contiguous con-tiguous areas. It is also not allowed, he said, to connect separate areas of land with a thin corridor-a "cherry-stemming" approach. Blonquist suggested that present county personnel could operate water systems. The County Health Department's environmental specialists can be certified as water operators, he said. But Flinders said, "I want to see them (water managers) away from the commissioners in the long run." D. Pentelute is sentenced A former Park City resident, Daniel V. Pentelute, is scheduled to report Oct. 15 to authorities to begin serving a six-month sentence. Pentelute was given the term, and an $ll.ooo fine, by U.S. District Court Judge David Winder. Pentelute pleaded guilty last summer to a charge of attempting attemp-ting to defraud the Internal Kevenue Service. He and other unnamed persons were accused ol opening stock brokerage accounts ac-counts under fictitious names in l!t"H and m, and depositing money to post office boxes in t'tah and Nevada without paying taxes. Winder handed down his sentence in mid-September. Pentelute, assigned to a minimum security prison, was also ordered (o pay the taxes he owes to the IRS. Golfers need funding to attend tourney When Maggie Reno, Sari Brennan, Lauri Murley and Jayne Pelton found out they were going to represent repre-sent Utah in the American Cancer Society National Golf Tournament, they were pretty excited. The foursome qualified for the tournament as a four-women best ball team through a process of regional and state tournaments held at various golf courses in Utah This was their third year trying to qualify for the national tournament. The event is held each year at the Doral Country Club in Miami, Fla., as a fundraiser for the National Cancer Society. But, it wasn't long before the group of four decided they would need a fundraiser of their own. "We figured we would need about $1,000 each, that's when we decided we better find a way to make money," said Reno. So they put their heads together and decided to hold a raffle. "We went to local merchants in town and got some great prizes," says Reno. "We don't expect to raise the full amount, but we hope to at least raise our plane fare." The foursome is currently selling raffle tickets for $3 each, or two for $5, and the drawing will be at Sneakers, Oct. 11. ' The four women plan on staying in Miami for a week which will include in-clude the two-day tournament scheduled for Oct. 24-25 and a few days of practice. They are hoping to leave Oct. 20 if, of course, if the fund-raising goes well.

"I thought doing a people column in Park City was a just a natural." This week Scarlett joins the paper as a columnist with her gossipy news entittled, "Scarlett's Letter." "My husband," she confesses, "thought up the name." But don't be fooled by Scarlett's good looks and sugar coated speech, the lady is tough and will have no problem getting to the contacts who provide her with access to the glamorous folks in and out of town. For five years she worked as a very sucessful real estate agent in Beverly Bever-ly Hills. Many of the rich and famous she sold homes to there, are now coming to Park City to ski or just get away from the crowd.

The couple, who have four grown children, used to have a home in Aspen, before they made the decision deci-sion it was simply too crowded there. "Besides, we liked the quaintness of Park City," Scarlett said. They have enjoyed their Deer Valley home for two years now, where Al spends his leisure hours preparing gourmet meals. Scarlett says they entertain often, because, "we really do enjoy people." peo-ple." In fact, one of her favorite people peo-ple is her Russian father-in-law who served as an interpreter for Eisenhower for years and who speaks six languages. "He really lived the life of Dr. Zhivago," she says and then she easily slips off into a tale about his days in service...

I have become avid Park City promoter and have lived through the financial devestation brought on by the current cur-rent poor economy coupled with the hoop-la brought on by the EPA and the Prospector Redevelopment District. To date my property has devaluated to the point where I would be hard pressed to recoup my note. Putting this all aside I am still an avid Park City Promoter. Now I am told that a group is trying try-ing to set up a SFR Zoning status for our property as well as for other investors in Park City. To this idea we say, "Bunk". This type of ordinance or-dinance would make our property almost completely unsaleable, and surely would devaluate our property (as well as all Park City property) even more grossly than it is at this date. Some investors in Park City did not want a condo to visit and their clients do not want to be commanded com-manded by this ordinance to visit a condo, but in essence that is what will be accomplished if this absurdity absurdi-ty is put in force. In the DallasFt. Worth, Texas International In-ternational Airport area we have recently had people bemoan the fact that the noise levels are high, yet the reason they purchase property in the area was because rapid rate of growth in their property values as well as the proximity to the airport facilities. It seems to me that these people have forgotten to "dance with them who brung 'em". Let us not put Park City in an identical light. Please let reason prevail and establish another way to control the sanctity of the neighborhood. After all, Park City is a City principally made up of transients and it is still a great place to visit and live. Thank you for your interest in my thoughts on this matter.
