Show Park Record Thursday, December 1, 1988 Page A5 Sewer district sets $2.5 million budget by SENA TAYLOR Record staff writer The Snyderville Basin Sewer Improvement Im-provement District Board approved a 1989 proposed budget Nov. 28 for $2,505,300, with the only increase over the 1988 budget being $194,000 for the construction of a new disinfection system. The board also adopted an amended amend-ed budget for 1988 amounting to $2,311,300, according to sewer district manager Rex Ausburn, who pointed out that nearly half of that budget-$l,101,300-is for payments on construction bonds. "Our debt service payment is extremely ex-tremely large due to the construction construc-tion of the Silver Creek Treatment Plant and the trunk line to that plant, which came on line in May of 1987," said Ausburn. The plant is located northeast of Park City near me re v ii;immit County Commerce .ska. Before that time, the East Canyon Treatment Plant near Jeremy Ranch was the only sewage facility serving the 80-square-mile area. The East Canyon plant became the focus of attention two years ago when a large number of fish were killed in East Canyon Creek, and the problem was linked to a mechanical failure in the chlorination disinfection disinfec-tion system of the plant. Since then the State Health Department's Bureau of Water Pollution Control has urged the Snyderville Basin Sewer Improvement Improve-ment District to install an ultraviolet ultra-violet light disinfection system and abandon the current, outmoded chlorination system. Ausburn said the new Silver Creek plant was built with the ultra-violet light system. Ausburn was pleased to report that the amended budget for 1988 turned out to be less than projected a year ago when the proposed budget was adopted, amounting to about $2,225,000. When he drew up the 1989 budget, he used the same calculations calcula-tions as a year ago, with the exception excep-tion of the $194,000 expenditure for the new disinfection system. "I have projected no rate increase for next year," he said. "We're just going to make do and accomplish the tasks we have with the funds available." The last rate increase approved by the board was in January of 1987, when user fees were raised. The last connection fee increase in-crease was implemented in April of 1984, according to Ausburn, and the tax rate should remain the same as last year at .0005.

Well, the bar for sale, according to owner Phyllis Malchow, is very much similar to the one pictured above. In fact, they are one in the same. Phyllis and her sister Mar Lobermeier are interested in finding someone to buy the mahogany bar built in the late 1800's and believe Park City "would be the ideal spot for it." Although a price has yet to be determined, Phyllis guarantees the bar is in excellent condition and would be suitable for "a pretty good size tavern." The bar, once owned and operated by Phyllis' father Louis Lobermeier Sr. (he's the one behind the bar next to the cash register) includes the large mirror-piece shown in the above picture. Other momentos from the old bar are also available including a 1909 cash register, spittoons, as well as old paintings. The bar was still operating up until a couple of years ago by Mary. But Fifield, a town of a mere 350, has seen better days and the sisters are looking for possible alternatives for the family business. Phyllis would be happy to send photos or a video to interested buyers. Those interested in more information can write to her at 520 East Carroll, Appleton, Wis. 54915.

Rasmussen Road bonds are high, no federal funds were available to help build the new treatment facility. The nearly 6,000 residence owners connected to the Snyderville Basin sewer system should expect to pay that rate of debt service until the year 2000, but they won't be completely paid off until 2004. Ausburn doesn't think the sewer district will incur debts that high in the near future. "In the next three tf ten years I don't foresee anything new that will require that kind of large expenditure," he said. "It's the board's intent to accumulate more reserves in order to 'pay as you go' for projects rather than having hav-ing to borrow the money then having to pay a lot of interest over a long period of time. We're trying to plan a little bit more into the future than we have in the past." Public defender re-hired The Summit County Commission Commis-sion has awarded the two-year public defender contract to attorney at-torney Elliott Levine, who has held the position for the previous two years. The commission opened bids on the contract two weeks ago, and awarded the contract to Levine Nov. 23 for an amount of $23,400. Levine was the low bidder for the job, as two other bids that were received amounted to $30,000 and $44,000. Summit County Clerk Doug Geary said Levine's bid was low er than his bid two years ago.
