So carried. Manager reviewed operating statistics as submitted and pointed out that we had fewer consumers per mile and a greater investment per consumer due to line extensions primarily in sparsley occupied sub- divisions. The District is required to provide electrical facilities to all applicants but in some of the recent sub -divisions it has been done at a great cost with little or no return, at present. At this date Olympic and Prosser Lake Heights are on a paying basis. George Cattan further evaluated on the topic and his findings are as per attached and made part of these minutes. RESOLUTION #6703 - Should be accepted as a result of the preceding information. The changes are 500 feet provided at District expense and 3� per foot beyond the first 500. Old Resolution now states that the first 1000 feet are provided by the District and 1�1 per foot beyond the first 10001. At the Chairman's request the new resolution was read verbatom. Following the reading Roy Waters moved for the adoption of Resolution 6703, Seconded by Paul Doyle. Passed and adopted by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Aweeka, Firpo, Waters, Doyle Noes: None Absent: Rose The L-4 rate is now void and all utility rates must be posted in trailer courts to discourage exorbitant rates being assessed in- dividual trailer homes. District does not want to serve individual trailer homes and prefers them to receive power from one point of delivery. Mr, Wadsworth representing IBEW Union was Introduced and after much discussion the Board would recognize him as the employees interim agent for negotiations and would further agree to accept one of the employees as a shop steward. No formal document will be signed by the District however, Mr, Wadsworth suggested that he and a re- presentative of the District meet in a preliminary meeting to discuss benefits in lieu of the current agreement that expires 4/l/67 . Chairman Aweeka personally felt the entire Board should bepresent at any discussions, Wadsworth stated the most pressing itme the employees desired was grievence procedures but did not elaborate further. Waters asked that the agreement be reviewed and poss:ibily revised then submitted for Board approval, After polling the Directors present this method was accepted. Doyle thought it ad - visible for Manager Longo to enter into the preliminary draft:: Firpo and Waters verbally agreed to this procedure, Firpo inquired as to the disposition of Water Dept. personel in the event the Water Dept. was contracted to an outside firm. Wadsworth stated that every effort would be made, by mutual agreement, to transfer them into the electric dept . He further stated that the Union would in no way attempt to dictate policies to the District and acknowledged Aweek' s statement that the District wasnot on the same financial level as Sierra Pacific or Sierra Plumas . He further stated that his organization was dedicated to service and not profit, identical to the District, At this point Wadsworth along with Water and Electrical personel departed* SUBDIVISIONS Ponderosa Palisades - Unit No , l W.O. 23 W.O. 24 3 Tf,s meters and connections ?Tosser Lake View - Unit No .1 W.O. 39 W.O. 52 2 Tf meters and connections R .

The loan application to R.E.A. stipulated that the sum of $199 , 53 0.00 was to service 181 customers, and we have actually spent $200, 768.43 and the number of customers is approximately 70.

That Rules and Regulations for Electric Service for RULE X, Paragraph 2, shall no longer be in effect and shall be re- vised as fol lows : A building, a portion of a building, a group of buildings, or an automobile trailer camp site containing more than one premise will receive service through a single point of de- livery if the District determines that it is not reasonable or feasible to serve each premise directly. In such instances, the operator of the building, portion of building, or group of buildings may furnish electric service to the individual premises therein, and the cost of such service may be included in the rent for such premises, provided that no separate charge is made therefor. Beacuse of extreme variations which mayoccur in energy consumption among tenant of automobile trailer camp sites, and because of the transient nature of such tenant, operators of such camp sites who re- ceive through a single point of delivery and include electric service in the facilities furnished to their tenants may employ metering equipment as a means of retroactively adjust- ing rental charges for such extreme variations, provided that the rate to be charged to the tenants are approved by theDistrict . Such rates will be calculated on the immediate past year Kwhr consumption and will give the trailer camp owner sufficient margin to provide for over -head, reading of meters and collections. The operator must agree to keep posted in his office and in the service room of the camp a copy of the rates being charged his tenants, Enforcement: Customers who are receiving service in conflict with this rule and who fail to bring themselves into conformity within a reasonable time after receiving written notice from the District shall have their service discontinued. 2. That Rules and Regulations for Electric Service for RULE XV Paragraph 3. (a) shall no longer be in effect and shall be revised as follows: The District will extend its single phase distribution lines up to a distance of 500 ft. per applicant at no cost to the applicant if applicant will guarantee to pay a minimum monthly charge of five dollars $5.00) for a period of sixty (60) consecutive months. The total lenght of free footage for an extension will be determined by the number of applicants to be served by the extension at the rate of 500 f t . , per applicant, ( See Section (b) (1) ) . 3. The Rules and Regulations for Electric Service for RULE XV, Paragraph 3. (b) shall no longer be in effect and shall be revised as follows: In those cases; when an extension of more than 500 ft . per applicant is necessary in order to extend service to the applicant (s), the guaranteed monthly minimum for a period i n of five years will be increased at the rate of three cent ($ .03 ) per foot of line required in excess of 500 ft . per applicant.
