CONSIDERATION OF A REPORT REGARDING AVAILABILITY OF PROPERTY FOR
ACQUISITION BY THE DISTRICT FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF A CORPORATION YARD;
POSSIBLE ACTION
The Board-appointed committee has looked at available land in Truckee that could be appropriate
for storage of material and vehicles and also provide workspace for transformer and switchgear
maintenance, water meter maintenance and assembly of water system components. The committee
determined that three parcels near 1-80 and Highway 89 owned by Chris Steel, Larry Long and
ShaNeva may be suitable. Financing options were considered; it may be possible to sell some
surplus District property.
The committee concluded that it would be prudent to acquire property at this time as a first step
toward future development of storage facilities. An actual plan of development needs further
