Meeting of March 24, 1983PR /983
7 a.m., 1530 South West Temple city RE,.. n�
The following committee members were present: Emanuel Floor, Roger Boyer, Marvin
Tuddenham, Ray Arnold, Howard Dunn and Stephen Featherstone. Also in attendance
were Sheldon Barker of CH2M Hill ; Ray Montgomery of the City Attorney' s office;
Cheryl Cook of the Treasurer's office;.---David Schnieder of the Deseret-News;Leigh von der Esch of the City Council office and Jim Reynolds of James M.
Montgomery Engineers. Staff members present were Joseph Fenton, Wendell Evensen,
E. T. Doxey, George Jorgensen, Maury Johnson, Jim Lewis, Anna Wilson, Lin Fitzgerald
and Jackie Gillen.
Mr. Fenton said that Mr. Hootonwas on vacation this week and that inasmuch as bath__
Chairman Ralph Steenblik and Vice-Chairman Genevieve Atwood were unable to attend
the meeting, Mr. Floor was asked to conduct.
Mr. Floor brought the meeting to order at 7 a.m.
I. Approve minutes of February 17, 1983 meeting
Mr. Arnold motioned that the minutes be approved as written and Mr. Boyer seconded
the motion with all voting aye.
II. Review capital improvement program
Mr. Doxey referred to the capital improvements handout. He said that most of the
projects are in the final stage. We will have a number of projects that will be
starting soon. He asked the committee for suggestions of how to present the
projects in the future. Mr. Boyer recommended that when the final costs are
presented that they shouldn't be shown on future recaps except to have a summary
at the end of the fiscal year.
Mr. Tuddenham felt that it would also be advantageous to list completed projects
as a summary on some of the future reports.
Mr. Jorgensen showed on a chart the sewer and water projects that have been
completed and those that are proposed in the future. The water is now flowing
in the Big Cottonwood Conduit and it is in service.
III. "Performance Audit of Engineering Support, Administrative and Fee Assessment
Functions"
This item will be covered in the April meeting.
IV. Cost breakdown of fleet management
Jim Lewis distributed a handout comparing costs for water and sewer fleet expenses.
He explained that the first four columns were similar to the report handed out
-2-
during the prior board meeting, however, the department added an additional
column showing the anticipated expenditure for next year. The comparison of
these columns showed a small increase in costs due to inflation. He also stated
that last time better control and less down-time was not included in the report.
Mr. Montgomery explained that Fleet Management charges a 20 percent markup for
labor and repairs.
Mr. Floor recommended that the department-make an analysis by taking last year's
bills and figure out what the difference in costs would be (between in-house
repairs and those performed by the Fleet Management department) . This analysis
should be expanded to show organizational changes, purchases of new equipment,
etc. , so that it can honestly depict all costs involved.
- Nr: -Featherstone-felt -that there is a-l-evel- of service that-must- be performed- at - -
a higher level , but there also is a level where our department could easily handle
this work.
- V. 1982 -bond refunding - 1983 issue
Cheryl Cook summarized the saleof the bonds. She said we sold $25,725,000 which
would cover refunding the old issue and into the new one. The rate obtained for
this sale was 8.9456. She handed out copies of Moody' s Investors Service' s
rating write-up. She said the rate was the lowest since August, 1980, and felt
pretty good about the rate that we got. We saved $920,000 over the life of the
bond. $630,000 was saved in interest. We obtained $4,802,000 in new-project
money which will be available in May to start new projects. The total debt
service was kept within the $3.3 million level that the Council had set. The
bond will close on April 13, 1983, in New York. At that time the money will be
available. She said she felt good about the bond issue.
Mr. Boyer said that Ms. Cook had done a very good job with the bonding issue.
*******
Anna Wilson briefed the committee on what was learned on the trip she, Wayne
Stanton and Jim Lewis took to Burbank, California, to observe Utility Devices,
Inc.' s automated meter reading system on March 3, 1983. She said these devices
have been ordered and should be in operation by July 1 , 1983.
VI. Complaint by Earl Fillmore on water bill - - - --- -
Inasmuch as Mr. Fillmore is out of town, this item will be covered in the April
meeting.
VII. Sewer Adjustments
Lin Fitzgerald presented the following items to the committee:
-3-
1 . TraveLodge, 652 South West Temple
There was a service leak on the line since October, 1979 and it was not
discovered until January, 1982. Mr. Ned Wilkinson is proposing that the final
balance of $552.49 be abated. Lin felt that this was an equitable compromise
inasmuch as it was less than the amount of credit that would be available if we
allowed for the full period of time the break was there.
Mr. Featherstone motioned that this recommendation be approved and Mr. Arnold _
seconded this motion with all voting aye.
2. Allen Hewitt, 1242 East South Temple and 36 H Street
Mr. Hewitt requests that adjustments be made to these accounts during_February, _ _ .
1981 to December, 1982 because the majority of the water was being used for
water blasting and masonery work to renovate the buildings. Ms. Fitzgerald
recommended that he be charged_the single dwelling rate of $8.64 _for that period
of time.
Mr. Arnold-motioned that Ms. Fi tzgeral d's recommendation be approved and 1Mr._
Featherstone seconded this motion with all voting aye.
3. Zions Securities Corporation (formerly Hotel Utah Motor Lodge) 113 West
' North Temple
Adjustment to the sewer charge is being requested as charges were based on winter
usage of the hotel that has since been demolished. Ms. Fitzgerald said that an
indepth study has been done and any connections being serviced by this account
have been abandoned; therefore, she recommended that the total charges for this
account in the amount of $10,569.24 be abated.
Mr. Featherstone motioned that this recommendation be approved and Mr. Arnold
seconded the motion with all voting aye.
VIII. Discuss Arthur Young Privatization Study as it relates to the on-going 201
Plan implementation schedule
Mr. Floor said that he had been contacted by several engineering firms concerning
the 201 plan and its relationship to the study proposed by Arthur Young & Company.
He said that we have now lost three months and we need to get things going or we
could lose a year's time. We need to have the selection committee make their
selection of the engineer to perform the work and get things started.
Mr. Fenton said that we have received a copy of a letter Arthur Young sent to
Mayor Wilson telling him that we should proceed with the work (a copy of the letter
was distributed to the committee members) . He said we now hope to get a letter
out at the first of next week to tell the engineers what we are going to do. We
will make the short list within two weeks.
The committee agreed with this stand on this issue.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:45 a.m.

Honorable Mayor Ted Wilson
Salt Lake City Council
Salt Lake City , Utah
Dear Mayor Wilson and Members of the City Council :
You may recall in our initial discussions of privatization
and its applicability to financing your sewage treatment
needs , that reference was made to the fact that the detailed
design costs for the sewage treatment facilities could be
borne by the private developer if financed through a pri-
vatized approach. This is a real possibility and it is very
practical to expect a private firm to bear these costs.
In light of the potential savings this represented , you
requested Mr . LeRoy Hooton to postpone taking any action on
three outstanding projects for which bids from engineering
firms had been solicited . These three projects included a
permitting study for the sludge management portion of the
existing facility upgrade , a wetlands and site analysis study
for the new proposed treatment plant and the detailed design
work for the existing plant upgrade .
Since that time we have refined the scope of our privatization
study and determined that the costs of proceeding in these
three areas of effort would not be affected by the findings
of our feasibility report . It is our conclusion that the city
Honorable Mayor Ted Wilson
Salt Lake City Council
March 22 , 1983
Page Two
will need this information regardless of the selected fi-
nancing approach. Although it may be possible to shift a
portion of the detailed design costs for the energy recovery
and sludge management portions of the upgrade to the private
sector , the resultant delay in the projects timetable would
not be in the best interest of the city. In the case that a
private financing approach is selected , it is possible that
some or all of the incurred design costs could still be
recouped through the private sector. We therefore recommend
to you that the city not delay in proceeding with these three
projects solely on the basis that the costs incurred could be
borne by the private sector .
At this point we feel that our study on privatization can
proceed without affecting the timetable underwhich your
sewage treatment developments are structured. We trust this
will be received as good news with respect to any concern
there may have been regarding possible delays in project
timetables.
Sincerely ,
ARTHUR YOUNG & COMPANY

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM March 4, 1983
R
SALE: $26.100.000 bonds through negotiation March 10. Please sec last page
for details.
RATING: Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds Al
Final information on this sale was received March 2.
OPINION: Timely rate increases have resulted in adequate operating ratios and
good coverage of outstanding and proposed debt. Future issuances may be
substantial if growth in undeveloped areas materializes, and debt service
requirements could strain operations, if revenue growth is not sustained.
SUMMARY: The Salt Lake City Municipal Council adopted resolution No. 100 on
November 3, 1981 which combined the municipal waterworks and water system and
the 'sanitary sewer system and sewage treatment plants. The system is
administered by the Department of Public Utilities under the direction of the
city council and policy input of the nine member Public Utilities Advisory
Committee. The newly combined system serves essentially all of Salt Lake City
and the water system serves an expanded customer base with nearly one-third
of its customers located in unincorporated county area. The majority of the
system's water supply is derived from stream flow or reservoir storage at the
foot of the Wasatch Mountains. The wastewater treatment plant was constructed
in 1963 and provides high rate trickling filter secondary treatment; the
facility treated an average of 40 MGD in 1982 and is currently meeting its
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit limitations.
The development of the system was financed with pay-as-you-go capital
contributions and general obligation bonds which have all been retired. The
Series 1983 Bonds will be issued pursuant to a resolution supplemental to the
Master Resolution approved November 3, 1981. Of total bond proceeds, $21.6
million will be used to purchased U.S. Government obligations that will be
placed in an irrevocable escrow account held by the First Security Bank of
Utah, N.A. These obligations and interest earned will be used to service the
Series 1982 Bonds as they mature through May 1, 2002. Such debt service
payments begin May 1, 1983. The Series 1982 Bonds will be defeased at this
time. Proceeds of S2.7 million will be used to finance construction of an
additional water supply line. Remaining proceeds of $1.8 million will be
used to pay bond issuance costs and to increase the debt service reserve.
This reserve was established with $2.4 million of Series 1982 proceeds and is
to be• equal to average annual debt service. The use of proceeds from the
Series 1983 Bonds will increase this reserve such that it meets the
requirement, after giving consideration to this issue.

2 Salt Lake City, Utah, Water and Sewer System
Capital expenditures for the water system approximate $7 .0 million through
1987 , and will likely be met by available monies . A new wastewater treatment
plant may be needed during this period, and cost estimates range as high as
$ 100 million . This estimate is extremely rough. however , as feasibility
'eudies are underway . A decision is not expected in the immediate future.
System officials estimate that $25 million in improvements to the- system will
he needed over the next four years. Funding will he provided by a new sewer
connection schedule , which will be phased- in over this period. This new
schedule is intended to effectively place the burden of new lines and
treatment upon developers , and is expected to generate an additional $7 .0
million in annual revenues . The ultimate outcome of these projects is
contingent on growth in 10, 000 acres recently annexed by the city in its
northwest quadrant .
Financial operations are well-maintained, with healthy operating ratios.
Water and sewer rate increases of 20% and 30%, respectively, became effective
in October 1981 , and resulted in strong gains in operating revenues during
fiscal 1982. There are no overriding consumers of either water or sewer
services . The largest water consumer is an Amoco Oil refinery, which
accounted for approximately 3% of revenues as of April 1982. The largest
water consumer is the city; water used for parks and the golf course
approximate 3% of the total revenues. Utah Power and Light is the largest
industrial user, and contributes about 1% of revenues . No heavy industry is
located within the service area, and much of the economy is comprised of
light industry and an important service sector as well as being the cultural
center for the state. Salt Lake City is the county seat and the state
capital . Unemployment for the county in January was 8. 1%, compared to 8.6%
state-wide.
Security elements of the resolution are relatively strong, and include a
coverage requirement of 1 . 25 times. The additional bonds test requires that
net revenues for the most recent year cover outstanding debt service `
requirements 1 . 25 times and that the maintenance of that level must be
projected for all new obligations.

FINANCIAL FACTORS: System financial operations are soundly maintained, with
operating ratios well above medians . Water and sewer revenues increased
substantially during fiscal year 1982 , reflecting rate increases that took
effect in October 1981 . 'These increases were approximately 20% for water and
30% for sewer . Operating expenses increased by over one-third during this
period, directly reflecting unexpected sewer maintenance costs stemming from
line failures . The 1982-83 budget anticipates and increase of approximately
22% in operating revenues for the system. This increase is due to the fact
that a full year of operations under the new rate schedule will be completed,
as well as partial effects of the new sewer rates imposed in January 1983.
The proposed 1983-84 budget projects a 30% increase in overall revenues ,
again reflecting the new rate structure . Expenses are expected to increase
by approximately 10%. This relatively low rate of growth is due to
computerization of billings , and purchase of water from less expensive
sources .
ADMINISTRATION: The Salt Lake City Municipal City Council adopted Resolution
No. 100 on November 3 . 1981 which combined the municipal waterworks and water
system and the sanitary sewer system and sewerage treatment plants . The
system is administered by the Department of Public Utilities under the
guidance of the city council and policy input provided by nine member Public
Utilities Advisory Committee .
Rates : The city raised water and sewer rates and connection fees effective
October• 18 , 1981 The average increase in rates was approximately 20% for
water and 30% for •,ewer . The water rate within Salt. Lake City per residential
usage is based on a minimum of $1 . 50 per month plus an additional $0 . 31 per
100 cu . C t . usage over the initial I .000 cu . f t . A capital improvements fee
is charged col all nei. development >, in the city• : thce lee is $ 1 , 500 per acre of
land he I uw the e I e\•:t t ion e,l I . (;5(1 feet and S3 , 000 per acre above that
elevation . Rates for uut ', ide e• ity users are 1 50% higher . The municipal
council has implemented a new sewer rate structure, becoming effective on
.January I , 1983 . Sewer rates were tncteased 100%. raising the minimum charge
to $4 .00. An increase of (;7`, in connection fees also took effect . Further
connect ion fees increases wi I l be 10% in 1981 , and '12% in 1985 . Another
sewer rate increase is :tntiripated for 1987 or 1988 .

Subject: Travel Lodge
652 S. West Temple
Account #025-008360
Mr. Ned E. Wilkinson, Controller for the Tri Arc Travel Lodge, owners of the
property serviced on the subject account has written requesting a sewer
adjustment as there has been a leak on the service line since October 1979,
the first year we used to establish winter averages. The repair was not made
until January 1982, when the leak was brought to their attention.
We have history prior to the break and using a two year average their usage
would be 900 cubic per month resulting in a bimonthly sewer charge of $9.72
over the last three years. The usage since the repairs have been made has
decreased to an average of 700 cubic feet per month.
Mr. Wilkinson is only asking that we abate the balance outstanding after the
final reading was taken of $552.49. This amount is less than the amount of
credit that would be available if we allowed for the full period of time the
break was there. Therefore it is my recommendation that we accept his pro-
posal as it will be an equitable compromise between the two solutions.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Account #811 0010-9-0
Mr. Hewitt is requesting adjustments to the two subject accounts due to the •
building being restored through the redevelopment agency and were under
rennovation from February 1981 through December 1982. During that time the
majority of the water was being used for water blasting and masonery work to
the outside of the buildings.
Account #481-009680, had one tennant throughout the entire period of restor-
ation. I recommend that we charge the single dwelling rate of $8.64 for
that period of time.
Account #811-0010-9-0, had a tennant from February 1981 through June 1981.
At that time, the inside of the building was completely redone to convert
the single dwelling into a duplex. Occupancy began in September 1982. I
recommend we remove all sewer charges from June 1981 through September 1982,
and from that time, charge the duplex rate as though it were a new unit as
prior history was for a single dwelling.
Thank you.

Account #979-0086-9-9
Mr. Ramon B. Morgan, Secretary-Treasurer of Zions Securities has written,
requesting adjustment to the sewer charges. The charges were based on the
winter usage of the Hotel Utah Motor Lodge that has since been demolished
and the water usage has been for irrigation and construction.
In doing an in depth study of the site, all sewer connections this account
would have serviced have been abandoned and a new line for water and sewer
installed having a new account number for the Relief Society Building that
occupies a portion of the area.
The total charges from July 1 , 1982, to the present for sewer are $10,569.24.
and I recommend that these total charges be abated as erroneous.
Thank you.
