WORKSHOP ITEM
DISCUSSION OF THE STATUS OF THE DONNER LAKE WATER SYSTEM RECONSTRUCTION
PROJECT
Ed Taylor distributed the Donner Lake Reconstruction worksheet. System reconstruction projects:
tanks, pipelines & services, pump stations/hydro and engineering/environmental were summarized for
initial budget $12,324,540, expended through 2003 $9,318,008 and remaining costs $3,416,000. Two
budget options were presented, differing in the inclusion or exclusion of source and unanticipated
maintenance. The budget option adopted would affect the monthly surcharge to the Donner Lake
residents to cover the overage.
Emilie Kashtan commented that the initial estimate to reconstruct the Donner Lake water system has
come close to the total projected cost. She asked the Board about the status of the State Revolving
Fund (SRF). Peter Holzmeister explained that once the board adopts a resolution of intent to sur-
charge the Donner Lake residents to cover the overage, the state has assurance of payback and the
SRF should be approved.
The board favored the option that removes a charge for source and the charge for unanticipated
maintenance items from the amount charged to the assessment district and expressed its interest in
adopting a resolution of intent to enact a rate surcharge. Staff was directed to agendize this matter.
DISCUSSION OF ISSUES INVOLVING SALE OF DISTRICT OWNED LAND
Peter Holzmeister reported to the board that various properties have gotten some public interest. He
wants guidance from the board.
➢ South River Street
➢ McGlashan- off Northwoods Boulevard
➢ Hilltop- off Palisades Road
➢ Steele- off Sha Neva and Euer Valley Roads
➢ A property on Cedar Point Drive
The board expressed its interest in selling the property listed and in acquiring the Cedar Point Drive
property. Staff was asked to agendize these matters as necessary to move forward
