9)         Old Business:

            A -       Generator at Training Academy

 

                        Mr. Anderson reported that he discovered that the generator had been

                        moved from the Training Academy.  Stratmoor Hills was interested in

                        purchasing a generator for their station and when Mr. Anderson sent them

                        to look at the generator it was no longer at that location.  After various

                        phone calls and emails it was discovered that the generator had been

                        moved to the Wahsatch location.  It was also researched through Authority

                        minutes that relocation of the generator had never been approved or

                        formally requested.  It was discussed that there is a policy regarding

                        disposition of property and that if the generator is valued at more than

                        $5000.00 a bill of sale must be executed and negotiated bids received. 

                        There were many questions regarding maintenance and/or replacement

                        costs and many possible solutions were explored.  It was decided that the

                        value of the generator would be researched and that Mr. Anderson would

                        attempt to determine the exact chain of events that led to the generator

                        being moved and then update the Authority.

           

            B -       Qwest Update

 

                        The attorney reported that she believes that the litigation is finally coming

                        to a close and that the minimum credit should be $530,000.00.  Much

                        thanks is given to the attorney and other legal consultants in resolving this

                        issue.

10)       New Business:

 

            A -       CSPD Re-accreditation

 

                        Tina Young announced that CSPD had been awarded re-accreditation

                        from Priority Dispatch and that their agency would be recognized at the

                        Navigator conference in April.
