A letter was read under date of Sept 4th from Paul H. Chamberlain acknowledging the
receipt of the monthly retainer and advising that no word had yet been received
from the Sierra Pacific Power Co., relative to the Donner Line. Letter filed.
The Manager submitted the results of the bacteriological anaJ7sis of the samples
taken from the new Gateway well. The samples had indicated excessive contamination
and the manager advised that the County and State Board of Health representatives
had advised that further samplings in the future, in their opinion should show good
results. The Manager also reported that he had arranged with. Mr. Meyers,the
driller to start drilling a new well in the Meadow Lake area just west of the
High School grounds and had arranged with Mr. G E Lewis to take over an area
surrounding the Donner Graves cabin site as the site for this well.. At this
point Mr. Cook wanted to know why the installation of the pump and main lines
could not be let out to bid. It was explained to Mr. Cook that considerable of
the work undertaken by the District was done for the purpose of maintaining steady
employment for the District t s employees, and that if and when conditions permitted,
44 A + #01-
and the size of the job" warranted," the District may consider letting out
bids.
The Manager reported that Mr. Gilbert McKenzie had agreed to purchase
the land in the rear of the California Inspection Station, tinder the terms
and conditions set forth by the District, and to facilitate the disposal
of this land on advantageous terms to the District, he had prepared a Resolution
for the Boards s consideration. Resolution No. 5602 herewith attached to the
minutes was then introduced and read and adopted by the Board as indicated
by the Ayes and Does.
The Tanager then explained that he had been advised by Kenneth Hedlund,
that his father was interested in acquiring the 8 acres that had been ad-
vertised for sale by the District, along the Brockway road, as a traitor
camp site, and that he expected his father to be in Truckee on Saturday,
September 15th to negotiate for this land. His father had advised that he
would be interested in making a down payment of $6000.00 to cover the cost of
installing utilities and would like to have the Board consider the postponement
on the pay ment of the $1000.00 for the land for 1 year from date. After
consideration the Board agreed on such terms, provided that interest of 5% be
charged. Manager Edmunds introduced the Resolution No. 5603, authorizing
the disposal of this land under terms and conditions set forth and on motion
made and carried,, it was unanimously adopted as the attached Resolution in-
dicates.
The Manager -advised the Board that there was now owing and outstanding
from G E Lewis the sum of $5729.16 out of the total balance due of $1.2, 500.00
Mr. Lewis had indicated that he had hopes of clearing this up in the very near
future.
The Manager drew the attention of the Board to an article in a recent
weekly news letter of the American Public Power Association, relative to an
increase of almost 6 percent in the domestic and coyxaerci.al power rates of the
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and explained that the rising cost
of labor and material were making it necessary for many other power companies
throughout the country to make similar increases. He cautioned that the District
should give careful consideration to it t s own rates and income in view of this
situation.
a
Director Welch asked what had been done with reference to jblanket insurance
policy that was under consideration, and the Manager advised that he had been
informed by Mr. R N Little, who is insurance agent for the District now, that a
representative of both the bonding company and the insurance company were expect-
ed in town this week, with a view of going over a blanket bonding policy and a
blanket insurance policy with the District. After such a discussion the matter
will again be brought up before the Board.
Director Welch also brought up the matter of wage scale agreement for the
District, The Manager advised him that the matter was being investigated and
he hoped to have some program along these lines to lay before the Board for their
consideration at an early date.
No further business appearing, Board adjourned,
