Show ••r yf Mr. Robert B. Hilbert December 6, 19 85 Page 2 The directors are thereafter, in Sections 73-9-13, qranted certain powers among which are_ the power to make assessments, to fix rates and to enter into contracts and to sell water. The Central Utah Water Conservancy District includes 12 counties, one of which is Salt Lake County. From .11 indications that we have, the major thrust of the recent directly to the other entity whom you serve as manager, to wit: Salt Lake County Water Conservancy District, which, I understand, serves only Salt Lake County. If the above description does not indicate a conflict of interest on your part, I would be very much surprised. Your position on those two boards not only allows you to vote, but as Chairman of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District and manager of the Salt Lake County Water Conservancy District, you would probably be required to be the actual signatory on both sides of any contract entered into between those two entities. Your particular position would give you access to all inside information, would allow you to sway the decision in favor of an entity for which you act as manager and would undoubtedly influence the ob3ectivity of your rate setting and assessment powers. The act to which I have above referred specifically allows rate setting to vary from one county to pother depending on the benefit conferred and the amount of water that is provided in various counties within the district. The county district for which you act as manager insofar as I have been informed has a uniform assessment rate to support the cost of the multicounty district, but the benefits anticipated to be received by the Salt Lake County District are absurdly out of balance as contrasted with the other less populous counties with respect to the benefits versus cost assessed. If that doesn't illustrate how you have abused your authority, I think there are certainly many other ways in which we could illustrate that. As an officer of a quasi municipal corporation, you are subject to and are bound by the terms of the Public Officers |
