NCPA: I am continuing to be involved in NCPA's utility managers group meetings. This group consists of the manager of each of the NCPA member utilities. We are meeting each month to help guide NCPA into the new deregulated electric industry. l anticipate that my involvement will increase in 1997 and beyond. /also anticipate that Steve Hollabaugh and Scott Terrell will be more involved with NCPA and deregulation issues in 1997. 2. Electric industry deregulation: The California legislature has passed AB 1890. The bill passed unanimously in both houses of the legislature and Governor Wilson is expected to sign it. This is the bill that restructures the electric industry in California. I am attaching the legislative counsel's digest to this report for your review. The provisions of this bill will need to be discussed by the Board of Directors and a few decisions will need to be made regarding District involvement. I am also not certain at this point how this bill effects SPPCo's involvement in California. This bill is certain to be discussed at the NCPA conference in Monterey later in the month. 3. TROA: Pat Sutton and I continue to be involved in the Truckee River Operating Agreement negotiations. The next big negotiating session involving the five parties mandatory to the agreement will occur on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week in Reno. The rive mandatory parties to TROA are the State of California, the State of Nevada, the U.S. Government, the Paiute Tribe and SPPCo. The topic that I am following most closely is the regulation of the use of groundwater and standards for construction of well. 4. Water service in Mantis valley:Pat Sutton and i attended a Placer County LAFCo meeting where water service to Manis valley was discussed. We leamed that Placer County Water Agency has created an entity called Zone 4 in the Martis valley to serve Lahontan (Gooseneck Ranch). We voiced our concern, but it fell on deaf ears. This is a matter the PUD Board needs to discuss further. 5. Timber harvest: The harvest of timber from the McGlashan property has begun. So far the work is progressing quickly. We expect to be complete by October 10. We have received no complaints from the neighbors. 6. Sphere of influence: I have spent time reviewing the District's draft Sphere of Influence report prepared by Keith Sauers. I have also spoken with Tony Lashbrook regarding our last set of comments on the Town's sphere report. Tony tells me he has been instructed by the town council to work with us to reach some agreement on the definition of "urban development." 7. Budget preparation: Staff is working on the 1997 budget. We intend to stick to the budget calendar presented to the Board, so you should be receiving a draft budget from us in early November.

Strategic Planning/District $Savings Business Customer Communications- Staff will finalize the development of a Key Account Management Program proposal this October. This newly developed program is designed to foster a positive, open line of communication with our largest customers and determine how they feel about TDPUD's service and how they see working with TDPUD in the future. TDPUD Staff has had some preliminary discussions with TTSA and Tahoe-Truckee Unified School District Staff about deregulation and their future needs and wants. TDPUD Staff has arranged a deal with the California Energy Commission to provide free Energy Services consulting to TTSA to improve their wastewater system's energy efficiency. TDPUD Competition Plan- Staff is planning to prepare a report about the different utility issues we are currently being challenged by. The report will include a discussion ,■-� of the different approaches TDPUD can take to meet these challenges as well as an analysis and recommendations to respond to competition. This comprehensive report is being postponed until the evaluation results of the GSHP pilot, the large Business Customer meetings and other competition related projects and issues are available. Energy/Water Showcase Program- HDR Engineering, Inc. has prepared and submitted a report to TDPUD Staff that identifies cost-saving energy-efficiency water system improvement options available to TDPUD. HDR is currently completing some in-depth analysis on the cost-effectiveness of some additional controls for water system efficiency. A meeting with HDR, Sauers, Sandel-Avery and TDPUD is scheduled for September 23 to discuss the need for some additional control strategies to improve power savings for the TDPUD water system. After the final document is completed TDPUD can decide which options may be worth implementing based on their cost-effectiveness to the District. Conservatlon/DSM/Economic Development Ground Source Heat Pump Pilot Site Activity- Nine GSHP pilot site units are currently in operation. A tenth site is partially completed in Glenshire. The ground source heat exchangers were installed August 23. This will culminate the pilot site installations.

The next meeting is scheduled for September 10. TDPUD GSHP Cost Study- I have arranged at Kathy's request a study to determine the cost of installing GSHPs into the TDPUD building for heating and cooling. The study is being conducted by Sierra Air in Reno and WaterFurnace International, a major GSHP manufacturer. A review of this study will be conducted by TDPUD and Sauer's Engineering Staff. The study is expected to be completed in October. CFIA Demonstration Project- Staff has been in contact with Professor Samuel Sami of Moneton University in Canada regarding his testing of a Combined Cycle Fully �^ Integrated Air/Air Heat Pump(CFIA). Tests so far have shown that it has comparable performance benefits of GSHPs without the cost of a ground loop. Staff has developed a CFIA mini-pilot draft proposal and a draft confidentiality agreement. These documents are currently being reviewed. GSHP/Water Heater Promotion- Staff is working toward getting the Truckee GSHP pilot monitoring program in place so that we will have data available to perform an analysis of the benefits and costs of using GSHPs in Truckee. The results of this study will be used to determine GSHP's role in TDPUD's Strategic Plan. A draft proposal has been developed to promote the benefits of high efficiency electric water heating to TDPUD customers. Energy Surveys/High Bill Assistance- Staff completed 0 commercial and 1 residential energy survey(s) this month. Staff also responded on-site to 2 "high" bill complaint(s). Business & Energy Efficiency Partnership- The incorporation of energy and water efficiency measures are expected to be retrofitted into the Chamber building by October, 1996. Currently about 80% of these measures are installed. Staff is currently working on a self-guided tour brochure of energy and water efficiency measures for the Chamber building.

I will be spending the next several weeks preparing our department budget, all of the overhead calculations and several of the support documents that make up the budget proposal. 0896MOLY.RPT Post Office Box 309 11570 Donner Pass Road Truckee, California 96160 STAFF REPORT September 16, 1996 To: Board of Directors From: Bob Quinn, Electric Superintendent Subject: August Activity Report AGENDA ITEM During the month of August, crews worked on various projects that included development agreements, a master plan project, and maintenance. The following is a listing of those projects where crew hours were logged. In the Olynpc Heights subdivision, a pole was replaced to give proper clearances between our facilities and those of cable TV and telephone. This project involved transferring the primary feed to other circuitry and took several days to complete. Knight's Crossing, a development agreement project in Glenshire, was completed. The project involved the installation of underground facilities, padmount transformer, a padmount primary junction cabinet, and a primary.riser. r^ The Truckee River bridge crossing, a master plan project, was attempted. M recently installed conduit at this location with S.W.Gas and this was our first attempt at getting a rope through the new conduit. For two days, the crew attempted various ways to install the pull rope but were unsuccessful and It was believed we would have to dig into the street to ascertain the problem. As a final try, a contractor with power driven equipment was employed to assist in the installation of the pull rope. After three days of effort, pull ropes were finally installed into the new conduits and the crew was able to run a mandrel through the conduits. The length of the runs (670) and the number of bends in the conduit proved to be the problem. As of this writing, the conductor has been pulled into the conduits and will be reflected in the September report. The Rhodes development occurred during August and was completed. This project, near Sugar Pine Estates, involved the installation of two padmount transformers and related underground facilities. At the west end of Donner Lake, we have had numerous problems during storms w7th the old system we purchased from Sierra years ago. The crews spent a considerable amount of time this past month upgrading those old facilities. Along Washoe, Fawn, and Salmon streets, we eliminated the two wire primary system that creates voltage problems during single phase outages and replaced the open wire secondary with triplex secondary conductor. This area has been a constant source of problems and Mth the in provements, should be more reliable. The service crew completed 34 overhead and 7 underground service orders. In addition, they completed 374 U.S.A's. On August 19th our substation operator, electrical engineer, and two representatives from Cooper Power, were in the Martis substation reprogrammng the redoser controls for the eventual installation of our new SCADA system. During the process of transferring load from one breaker to another, a switch was closed and upon closing the insulator holding 112 of the energized switch arm failed. This allowed the energized portion of the switch to come into contact with the metal structure and the resulting arc went phase to phase melting conductors, destroying the bushings on the recloser, and showering the operator with molten aluminum. Energized conductors swung freely and one conductor fell to the ground. Very fortunately, there were no injuries. Investigation showed no safety practices had been violated and the cause of the accident was indeed a faulty insulator. This type of insulator had failed twice before within this station but the prior failures were not of a nature that would lead to catastrophic failure as occurred during this incident. As a result of this accident, all insulators of this type (78) within the system are being replaced. They have been ordered and should arrive mid- October with replacement taking place shortly thereafter. Steve Hollabaugh, our electrical engineer, has been extremely busy working on the SCADA system. Hopefully this project will on-line before the end of the year. As you can see, the crews of this department were not resting on their laurels during August. September should prove to be as productive. Respectfully submitted
