The Manager informed the Board that the present equipment bf the District was not adequate for efficient operation. Dicrector Edmunds stated District should live within their means and try to get by unless a purchase was absolutely necessqry. Chairman King returned and took over his duties as Chairman. He introduced Mr . DeLuca, Golf Pro. Director King stated Mr. DeLuca was interested in the job of golf pro for the golf course. Mr. DeLuca stated that he thought that District would be wise not to open the course until next year as there was still quite a bit of work to be done and what little revenue that would be gained would not be worth the risk to the golf course. Mr. McKinley appeared before the Board requesting a 6" line of water from the Sierra Trailer Court, along the south side of the golf course to Martis Valley Estates. Mr. McKinley states this is not an immediate thing but he eventually hopes to open another subdivision and he must have assurance of water before permission would be granted by the Realty Board. Manager expressed the opinion line should go along the road due to the f act it would be more accessible and the possibility of obtaining additional revenue for the District from the line. Board felt that at the present time District could make no assurance of additional water until the other water problems are worked out. *r . McKinley again stated that if District could obtain a piece of buffer land from Airport District additional land could be set aside in the area for an additional-9 holes for the golf course . ,_...,. Mr. McKinley stated he had an aerial photo of the land. Board requested that he bring photo in for them to see. Director Russell entered the meeting. Manager informed Board that the loan for $50, 000.00 for a 10-year period had been granted with the provisions the principal be paid at $ 2, 500.00 semi-annually and interest of 4% to be paid quarterly. MlanagO.r told Board he would lie to deposit $ 25 , 000.00 in the Electric Fund and $ 25 , 000.00 in the Water Fund. He also stated he would like to withdraw the $15, 000.00 from the Time Deposit and use the money to pay approximately $8, 000.00 in bills in the Recreation Fund. Manager stated he would like all monies from the loan to go into the cpaital accounts and use revenue for operation and maintenance. He stated all money at present was going toward maintenance and none toward modernizing or improving systems. -Director Russell expressed the opinion that a system of wells would solve a lot of our water problems. He felt our system of springs was costing the District for the revenue that is realized from them. Mr. Dolley asked how many houses were acturally being built in the �-- new subdivisions . - He suggested the Board look into the matter of a bond issue to finance the expansion program. Director King i was premature for a bond issue until stated he thought District District had settled on a master water plan. Director Edmunds stated he had a client that would be willing to purchase the water system from the District and would like to have the Board's feeling on the matter. Director Russell expressed the opinion that he felt water system would be self-supporting if system were put in proper operating order. Director King also expressed opposition to selling water system. 276 C= Le� Minutes July 26, 1960 -Continued- fi l cm,4 ar Mr. Dolley stated to the Board that the County had- agreed to black top the road by his home but were holding off until District had completed work on adjacent lines and asked Board when work by District would be done so County could proceed. Discussion was again resumed on $50, 000.00 loan from Bank of California. It was moved by Director Kielhofer and seconded by Director Horman that we accept $50, 000.00 loan from Bank of California and remove Time Deposit and use it in Recreation Fund for retiring long over- due bills, Motion carried.

Manager informed Board he had purchased a 1952 Two -ton line truck from Sierra Pacific Power Company for $1, 500.00 plus a paint 3 ob . Board approved of purchase, The next matter before the Board was the golf course water supply. Board felt District should concentrate on a positive water supply for the golf course rather than depend on the Truckee River supply. Director Edmunds told the Board he thought he could obtain the services of a State geologist to investigate terrain and make suggestions for location of wells, It was moved by Director Russell and seconded by Director Kielhofer the Manager be authorized to contact a geologist and well driller to develop a supply of water to be pumped to a reservoir and some arrangement be made for permission to put in reservoir for storage. Motion carried. A letter from Inter County Title Company dated July 19,, 1960, was read regarding a quitclaim deed to remove floating easements in Deerfield. Board could not tell whether or not deed referred to whole parcel of land or ust the portion on which a Union Service station was to be built. It was moved by Director Russell and seconded by Director Kielhofer that deed be authorized for Union station parcel only. Motion carried. A letter from Chamberlain regarding change requests from G . E . Lewis on his deed was discussed. Board was of the opinion they could no longer grant any more changes to Mr. Lewis. It was moved by Director Russell and seconded by Director Kielhofer that Mr .
