Director Rose's motion that the listed bills be paid, seconded by
Director Firpo, carried and so ordered.
Sylvania Lease Property Cleanup - after brief discussion, matter was
held over until next meeting.
Opening of Bids on Purchase of Poles:
Five bids were received. Because of the complex nature of the
specifications on treatment ands inspection of the various classes of
poles put out for bid, Engineer Cattan distributed a prepared
tabulbtion sheet on the amounts bid to each Director for study and
determii.nation. Director Firpo objected to opening bids in advance
of- the% scheduled deadline and asked that a legal opinion be obtained
from Attorney Chamberlain before awarding bid. Directors recognized
merit bf his objection, but upon being told that several of the bids
were received unmarked and opened as regular mail, and because of
the immediate need for the poles, the delay and expense of re -adver-
tising' for bids, and the shortage and rising costs due to the war
situation in Viet Nam, Directors proceeded to act on the submitted
bids, after directing the Manager to get a legal opinion before
notifying bidders of award. Tabulation sheet is herewith attached
and made a part of these minutes. Bid of Koppers Company had to
be rejected since the treatment which they use on their poles is
unacceptable to the District. Director Rose moved that the bid of
J. H. Baxter Company be accepted in the amount of $3,555.00 as the
lowest bid submitted, second by Director Waters and motion carried.
Ponderosa Palisades Annexation - Resolution #6604, prepared by
Attorney Chamberlain, Initiating Proceedings for Annexation of

Conditions Applicable to Annexation and Providing for Notice of and
Calling Hearing Thereon, was presented. Director F irpo moved that
Resolution 6604 be adopted and that the hearing be scheduled for
the Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors on the 17 th of May.

Sheepherder Springs - third year of our lease, must put water to
beneficial use this year or lose our lease; approximately five
miles of development necessary from Springs to tank site. Brian
Walters, Hydraulic Engineer from Reno displayed a typographical map
of the Springs and surrounding area, and explained some of the
pressure and engineering problems which would be encountered in
'~ developing the water system. He advised that his company would
like to do the job and that they preferred to be hired on a "time
reimbursement" basis* but will negotiate on a fixed fee - they are
not interested in bidding on the engineering phase of the work.
District must put out to bid anything over $3000.00; Walters 1
estimates that engineering services will run in excess of that
figure. Definite information on cost, with an outside maximum figure
will be prepared as soon as road to area is clear of snow and he
can make a visual survey of the topography,
Manager advised that funds for development may be available
from a federal grant, after Nevada County report is submitted to
the government in about a month,
Karl Kuttel also answered questions on development and tank site
elevation. Pump may be needed to assist flow into tank.
