Also present: Longo, Cattan, Best, Snyder Guests: Ted Barrett, Supervising Engineer for the Tahoe Forest Hospital addition; Clayton Shane, Clinton Shane, and Charles Spillner,, All Directors . being in agreement, regular order of business was held in - abeyance ,so that Mr. Barrett could present his problem to the Board of Directors. He advised that the controversy between Acme Collins Company and the District over the relocation of one of the electric service poles could result in a delay in the delivery of electricity to the new hospital addition. The General Contractors on the job are attempting to proceed as far as possible on constrAion before winter weather forces a halt and that he appeared before the Board in hopes of arriving at an early settlement of the problem. Directors assured Mr. Barret that they had no choice in relocation of the pole because of the building plans of Mr., Lee Van Wetter, the owner of the adjoining lot - however the District would not object to assuming a reasonable share of any costs incurred by Acme Collins because of the relocation. However, both the Manager and `the Board felt that Acme -Collins bill for approximately $500.00 was excessive.

SHANE BROTHERS - EASEMENT . Shane Brothers presented a copy of the surveyed location of their proposed access road on the Brockway Shortcut, and asked for a dec is ion y on the necessary easement , - Manager advised that he would contact our attorney on the proper procedures, Clinton Shane asked that we handle the matter as soon as passible. CHARLES S P ILLNER, former member of the Utility Board (resigned) and presently active on the Recreation District i Board, appeared before the Directors requesting information for his personal edification on the dual water system being laid in the trenches at the new Truckee Recreation District property on the Brockway Shortcut. He advised that he had received an explanation of the reason behindyit, but had further questions re possible contamination of the area by the irrigation water source* Manager Longo pointed out that there was no bacterial contamination of either of the water supplies; however, potability and economy both contribute ;reasons for the dual supply, The water in the large pipe - for irrigation purposes - is to be pumped as needed from the south side well. It is not a health hazard in any sense ,of the word, but it. does have an unpleasant wood odor which ,makes it unsatisfactory for drinking purposes,a Economically it can be furnished to the Recreation District on a cost only basis, for irrigation purposes. The second pipe installed by the Recreation Department will be attached to the present town drinking water supply, and will be palatable for all domestic purposes, but the cost must be paid at the.regular estab- lished water rates for the area. This pipe will also furnish a ---, constant supply of water to the fire hydrants in the park-* Mr. Sgillner thanked the Manager for his explanation, advised that his questions on. contamination danger were answered and excused himself from the balance of the meeting* SJERRA PACIFIC POWER COMPANY POLE AGREEMENT - For the four poles used jointly on the Deerfield lines was presented* RESOLUTION #65 24 which accepted the joint use agreement and authorized the Chairman and Clerk to sign on behalf of the District was presented.
