4. Planning for 1996: General Manager discussed the proposed budget calendar for preparation
of the 1996 budget. Scott Terrell discussed the results of a survey conducted in California by
RKS. Mary Chapman discussed trends in growth of customers and demand for utility services
in the Truckee area. There was brief discussion the District's mission statement. There was
consensus that the Board needs to be involved in every step if the budget process. At the
earliest stage of budget preparation the Board wants to review the district mission statement,
discuss strategy for the upcoming year, review the critical assumptions that staff is using in
budget preparation, and review the manager's budget message to department heads.
5. Status of parking lot: The Board discussed the status of plans to expand parking at the
District headquarters building. It was the consensus that we do not want to use the current
driveway on Donner Pass Road as the means of accessing the new parking lot. The General
Manager was directed to turn the problem back to the Town of Truckee for a solution
6. SEA bill: The General Manager discussed an old unpaid invoice from SEA Engineering
• relating to the Tahoe Donner water line replacement project. The Board asked that the bill be
agendized at the September 5, 1995 meeting.
7. Timber analysis of McGlashen property: Dave Ruily discussed a timber report prepared by
The CHY Company. The report concludes that the forest condition in the McGlashen property
is need of maintenance work. There is a substantial amount of dead and dying timber that
threatens to spread to the remainder of the forest in the vicinity and that is a fire hazard. The
Board expressed a desire to solve the problem by moving forward with a timber harvest
operation. However, the Board is concerned that the public be informed as to our plans and that
public comment be encouraged. The General Manager was asked to arrange a public tour of the
McGlashen site before the timber harvest plan moves forward.
8. Staff reports: The monthly staff reports were reviewed by the Board
9. The meeting adjourned at 10:05
