Minutes of the June 17th, 2006 Board Meeting
Skyline Mountain Resort Clubhouse

Meeting called to order by Chairman Roger Mace at 6:07 p.m.

Minutes for the meeting of May 2006, previously furnished to Board members, were moved for approval by Monte and seconded by Jay.  Motion carried 5-0.  It was requested and agreed that our approved minutes should be posted on the Resort Website.  This will be done beginning next month.

Thad’s Peak update:  We have the correct valve for doing the tank.  The space for installation is very tight but it can be done.  Will Sunderlund will hook up electrical controls and connections as soon as we have the valve in.  Presently Max Henrie and Steve have been filling the tank.  Monte was directed to ask Lloyd Gardner if he would continue helping with that task until the controls are all installed.  Roger mentioned that even when the valve is in, the Thad’s Peak well is not officially an approved drinking water source although we have been submitting samples, all of which show no contamination.  Monte will keep trying to get Cluff to give us a bid for the fence to enclose the well and controls.

We have a request for a water hook up for Ken and Jill Winkler who purchased a lot on Spring View Drive.  This connection would require a booster pump.  Under statute, we cannot approve a booster pump to be added without State approval.  Roger will take on this action item to check with Utah Division of Drinking Water for a ruling.  Monte will write to Winkler as soon as we have an answer.

Magnesium Chloride treatment reviewed.  So far the reviews are very favorable.  It would appear that the established roads had a better “take” whereas the newly graveled roads may be slightly less effective.  There was further discussion concerning the abuses by Legacy and its contractors … moving tracked equipment on the roads etc.  Both Boards will consider a weight limit on the west gate.  A limit of 10,000 lbs (motor homes excepted) could be established.  We would like to write a letter to the contractors frequenting the Resort advising them of the road restrictions.   George will consult with SMR Board on this matter.

Discussion concerning the patching/chip sealing of Sports Haven Drive from the “dip” to the east gate + Eagle Drive took place.  It was moved by George and seconded by Jay Hansen to proceed with this project to include also the several major potholes around or near the Clubhouse area.  George Johansen Asphalt is the apparent low bidder.  We will consider “chip sealing” later this summer as budget dollars may permit.

Fire Grant funding:  Some of our requests for reimbursement have been lost in the mail or mailed to the wrong location.  This has been corrected.  They won’t approve payment of the Chicken Springs/Fish Pond additions until they have the letter of instruction from the SMR Board to the SMR grounds maintenance people stating the water should not be dropped more than 18” below the outlet height.  Max Henrie will write the letter after consulting with Fred Johnson of the State.

Chipper:  The new/refurbished blades are being refitted and the chipper will be operational soon.  Max Henrie and Roger Mace are working on this one.

Benino Letter:  Two members representing the Boninos who own several lots in the “F” section came as a follow up to their letter asking for some action on improving their roads.  The challenge for the SSD is that nearly all of their access road is outside the district and not on SMR property.  They met with the SMR Board in April 2006 saying they were trying to acquire the extra lots in that small section and then try to opt out of SMR since they are so isolated.  They now seem to have changed their mind and don’t want to pursue this.  The SMR Board met with Lee Holmstead and Tracy at Sanpete County who said they could not act without approval by the County Attorney.  The Boninos now want to continue as SMR members so Max Henrie will work with Travis Bonino see if anything can be done.  SMSSD is NOT able to legally do work outside the district boundaries.

K16 Terry Ball.  Can we make a cul-de-sac improvement for them while doing the Hot Well escape road improvements?  An SMR Board member will accompany the equipment operator to the site to determine what needs to be done.  RJ will take this action item and will work with Max Henrie from SMR Board on this one.

Discussed letter from Dr. Colledge concerning “O” section, which has very little improvement to it and has deep ruts caused largely by erosion from multiple springs that run in the road as well as spring run off. We will drive up this road to determine what we can begin to do.  We will likely start with well dug “borrow” ditches and side road drainages and then try to grade it down.

Rick Houghton:  beware of standpipes when putting in the 22’ French Drain at his place.  We will talk to Shelley and Christensen about making up a form and making these for us out of extra concrete when they pour other cement work.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:20 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

M. LaMonte Pugmire, sec/clerk.
