SAN JUAN COUNTY COMMISSION MINUTES OCTOBER 11, 1989(?)
The regular meeting of the San Juan County Commission was not held as a quorum of Commissioners was unable to attend.
Commissioner Mark Maryboy conducted the scheduled public hearing for the San Juan County Transportation Service District. The meeting had been scheduled for 2:00 P.M. on October 10, 1988, however as that date was a legal holiday the meeting was postponed until 2:00 P.M. on October 11, 1988.
Those attending: Commissioner Mark Maryboy
Administrative Assistant Rick Bailey
County Clerk Gail Johnson
Deputy Clerk Merna Johnson
Attorney Lyle Anderson
Carl Eiseman, San Juan Record
The purpose of the creation of the Transportation Service District is to receive mineral lease revenues from the federal government for the construction, repair and maintenance of roads within the district Boundaries.
Administrative Assistant Rick Bailey explained that beginning this year, the State of Utah will pay payment in lieu of taxes on state lands to those counties that have state lands. Rather than reduce the federal payment in lieu of taxes, the Counties statewide have decided to form special service districts for the purpose of constructing roads in those areas that are receiving mineral lease monies back. The service district will be funded entirely by mineral lease revenues and state payment in lieu of taxes and will not result in a taxing entity that will cost the taxpayers any additional taxes.
The question was asked as to where the state would get the money to pay the payment in lieu of taxes on state lands. Those funds have previously been put into the State general fund budget but will now be paid to the Counties. These funds will also not affect the funds used by the Community Impact Board.
Mr. Bailey further stated that if the district is not formed it would reduce the federal payment in lieu of taxes. Once the district is formed and a board established, it was thought that they would contract With the County road department for the construction of the roads. The protest period extends until 5:00 P.M. on October 25th. At a special Commission Meeting to be held on October 26th at 9:00 A.M. the Transportation District will either be approved or abandoned. If approved, the board will be appointed.
Mr. Eiseman asked if it would be possible at sane future date for the district to have a taxing authority. Mr. Bailey stated that any taxing authority would have to be placed on the ballot of a general election for approval by the majority of the taxpayers within the boundaries of the district which includes the entire county with the exception of the incorporated areas.
County Clerk Gail Johnson stated that the board of the Transportation Service District would be required to hold budget hearings and would need to adopt a budget in December for the calendar year of 1989.
Adjourn: There being no further comments the meeting adjourned at 2:25 P.M.

MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SAN JUAN COUNTY COMMISSION
OCTOBER 12, 1988
The special meeting of the San Juan County Commission convened at 9:00 A.M. at the San Juan County Courthouse at Monticello Utah.
Present: Commissioner Calvin Black
Commissioner Kenneth R. Bailey
Commissioner Mark Maryboy
Administrative Assistant Rick Bailey
County Clerk Gail Johnson
Deputy Clerk Merna Johnson
San Juan County Residents: Rayburn Jack, Jill Bayles, Kathleen Lyman, Carl Eisemann and Interim Hospital Administrator Milt Bedsaul.
The purpose of the meeting was to make a final decision with respect to the creation of a special service district for health care services in San Juan County. It was noted that there were no written protests received by the office of the County Clerk.
Rayburn Jack, representing the Blanding Health Board, wanted to go on record as supporting the district and submitted a list of names to be considered to serve on the board of directors. Other names were also submitted for consideration by the Commission.
Commissioner Bailey stated that he felt the mill levy of .0006 would be too low to fund the district. Commissioner Black reported that there would probably be some drop in the assessed valuation for next year but based on the assessed value for this year the revenue that could be derived from the .0006 tax rate would be $401,000.00. Mr. Black felt that would be more than adequate based on the present situation. If the tax base goes down in the future, to where a higher rate would be necessary, that could again be put before the voters for approval. The Conmission has already committed to reduce the tax rate in the general fund of the County the equivalent of what is necessary for the budget for the first year.
After discussion the following resolution was presented for adodption by the San Juan County Commission;
