The City will require fair market value for the property as determined by a MAI appraisal. The purpose of the public hearing is for the Public Utilities Advisory Committee to hear public comment regarding the property transaction.

Karryn Greenleaf presented the surplus property matter information as identified above. Holladay City is requesting to install a traffic pole and has offered fair market value of $1,300 for the land. The chief procurement officer has been requested to begin the surplus property process. The chief procurement officer, along with the director of finance, has approved the waiver of competitive bid process, which allows the Department of Public Utilities to sell the property directly to Holladay City without having to go out to the public for competitive bid. Rusty Vetter added that this process began under a threat of condemnation. June 26, 2019 PUAC MEETING MINUTES SALT LAKE CITY DEPARTMENT of PUBLIC UTILITIES 1530 SOUTH WEST TEMPLE STREET WWW.SLCGOV.COM SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84115 2 of 2 TEL 801-483-6770 Page2 Kent Moore asked for some clarification on where the Public Utilities owned well is located and the location of the canal. Ted Wilson asked for questions or comments. Public Utilities Staff recommended that the property be sold and that it is helpful for Holladay City. No recommendation is required from the PUAC and the matter is returned to the Public Utilities Staff. Sewer Billing Adjustment - Kilgore Companies - Lisa Tarufelli Lisa Tarufelli, Finance Director, forwarded a memo to PUAC members regarding the sewer account adjustment for Harper-Kilgore. Laura Briefer commented that sewer billing is based on the annual consumption of water. Some industries, like Kilgore, have a lot of water that is put into their products that may not go into the sewer. There is an ordinance that allows the Department to make adjustments to accounts based on what might be going into the product. These adjustments must be approved by the PUAC. Kent Moore mentioned that the letter that Public Utilities received from Kilgore makes a compelling argument. Public Utilities staff is agreeable and will refund $14,000 that was previously billed and adjust their billing going forward. This amount will not impact any projects Public Utilities has budgeted. Lisa Tarufelli explained that, if the refund is approved, the account will be reduced to the 25 percent of the AWC that calculates and that will stay on will not accrue further. Lee Ware, from Kilgore, indicates that the agreement is acceptable. A future option is for a meter will be installed at the cost of Kilgore Companies. Committee member Kent Moore moved, and Committee member Ted Boyer seconded the motion to approve the adjustment to the account. All present voted in favor. Depart for Field Tour of Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy Meeting adjourned at 12:30 p.m. Next meeting will be held on August 22nd at 7:30 a.m.
