Salt Lake organizers pay off Olympic bills

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (AP) -- Olympic organizers gave $10 million Monday to two Utah municipal governments to cover the cost of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee's use of hockey venues.

Chief operating officer Fraser Bullock gave a $7.1 million check to West Valley City officials. Earlier he presented a $2.9 million check in Provo, part of a $7.4 million payment for the use of the Peaks Ice Arena.

It's still not known if the Olympics will turn a profit, though Bullock said that will be disclosed after an April 24 board meeting. The U.S. Olympic Committee is entitled to 25 percent of any surplus.
