NEVADA COUNTY LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION
Review of the LAFCo budget and the assessment levied to TDPUD
Filling of the vacancy for the special district alternate member
New legislation mandates that counties, cities and special districts share in funding LAFCos.
The Board reviewed a breakdown of the share of LAFCo's budget allocated to the various enti-
ties based on revenues. the District share is shown to be $13,345.
The District's revenues are significantly determined by its purchase of wholesale power. It is a
simple pass through to customers, so it shows up in revenues. It is a dollar amount that will go
up significantly in the next few years based on circumstances in the electric utility industry.
Counsel Steve Gross will look into the law governing this assessment and report to the Board.
Director Sutton moved that Jim Maass, as presiding officer, represent the District at the LAFCo
Special District Selection Committee meeting on June 4, or appoint another representative if he
is unable to attend. Director Van Gundy seconded the motion. All Directors, aye, by voice vote.
