District met in regular meeting at the office of the District on

C R Heller B rid Reynolds E L Loynd (absent)
Mr. `11m. J. Cashill,Attorney _ for, the ..Donner. Lake Company, A James,
Secretary for the Donner Lake Company and Lee Nisbet, representive
of thee Armstfiong: Realty Co: , wer.a present .at the invitation * of the
Board_.to° discuss the bill of L. Cedric Macabee, Engineer_for a
preliminary plan for water development around Donner Lake. This bill
in the amount of $1200. had been presented to the Donner Lake Co.
for payment, it being the understanding of the Board members that
Mr. Nisbet had stated that the Donner Laketo. would take care of
this bill. Inasmuch as the engineering plans had been instigated
and started at their request, this was explained to Mr. Cashill and
Mr. James. Mr. Cashill�rstated that Mr. Nisbet had no authority to
commit the Donner Lake Co. to the payment of this bill. Mr. Nisbet
stated that he had not intended to give the directors any such im-
pression. It was brought out that the District had requested ad-
vance funds for this planning from the Community Facilities Service
but to date had received no assurances that they would get the same.
It was further explained that to reimburse the District for this
expense for the District to place a tax, on the Donner Lake Annexed
area in the 1951-52 fiscal year. This appeared satisfactory to
those present inasmuch as the Donner Lake Co. would no doubt have
to pay the major part of the tax.
Mr. James was asked if the Donner La'-e Co. was still_ interested in
having the district give consideration to supplying water to that
area, He explained that for the time being trey hoped to get along
by supplying their subdivisions through their own resources, until
the demand reached such a point that it may be necessary for the
District to take the same over. After thanking the Directors for
their time and consideration the committee then left.
