So carried. Director Doyle asked manager if it was necessary to send a senior lineman to Reno for supplies. Manager advised Mr . Hal Haltom used his own pickup, he could trust him in handling, loading and purchasing the right width of reel. Dir. Doyle felt manager used poor judgement in the matter* Dir. Firpo asked the reason for"sending the bookkeeper to look at snow equipment as Paulus had g d told him he new nothing about equipment, Dir. Firpo advised he went to the show in San Francisco and they will came and give a demonstration at District's request. Chairman Aweeka advised manager used discretion as he saw fit, REPORT ON RESOLUTION FIXING ASSESSMENT Report made by manager was gone over and each location discussed Director Rose added the following comments to report: FairOaks - $ 200 , 00 an acre* Subdivision inside District is only connection charge. Roseville - The $180.00 is for sewer connection $45.00 for a 3/4 inch connection $60.00 for a 1 inch connection Nevada Irrigation - Do not charge for source Davis - In the City of Davis there is no charge to sub- divider. Hookup fee only - plus time and material Portola - Like Davis. Only time developer pays is when he is connected, Manager advised he has requested follow up informat ion . Director Rose stated we are now getting information that we need, but we are not ready to make an intel igent decision as yet, Mr. Dave Irmer entered the conversation at this time and suggested the manager contact recreational areas such as Clear Lake, Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead, Santa Cruz and the Myers Water Co. at the South end of Lake Tahoe. Mr. Lowell Northrup related Boards action at Alpine Springs. They are assessing $10.00 a year on lots that have water piped to them but ado not have homes on the lots. The $10.00 fee is only applied when the Board feels it is necessary and when they see fit to do so. Mr. Irmer stated the Homeowners Association has the power to levy assessments. If each lot owner was assessed a certain amount as Mr. Northrup suggested one billing, to cover all lot owners, could be sent to the Homeowners Association and their Board would levy the assessment. Mr. Irmer advised he would rather see this than the $250,00 assessment now in effect. 29 D it . Firpo stated if he remembered correctly Mr, Irmer agreed to pay the advanced assessment charge of $250.00. There seemed to be a question on the statement so manager read minutes of August 16, 1967 relating to Tahoe Meadows Unit #1. DAVE IRMER - TAHOE MEADOWS Now known as Sierra Meadows Mr. Irmer requested approval of revised zoning on Sierra Meadows Unit 1A. Two areas are to be turned into seven parcels of land to be changed from Commercial to residential. Each parcel to be one acre, Mr, Irmer advised he would need a letter to the Real Estate Commission approving the map, The lots are to be sold as one acre but it is understood that they can be split and that the assessment charge will still apply to each subsequent connection. If the lots are split $ 25 0.00 will be charged for each connection on the one acre, Mr. Irmer stated this provision has been covered under the articles of the Homeowners Association, Manager asked about an ease- ment for water on the revised map, Mr. Irmer advised the District would definitely be granted an easement, there would be no problem. Manager was instructed to write the Real Estate Commission approving sections in Sierra Meadows #1 being changed from Commercial to Residential. Mr. Irmer asked if the assessment will still apply as he has Unit 02 consisting of 135 home sites on the drawing board, Chairman Aweeka stated the resolution was still in effect until further study could be made and the Board would advise him of their decision in about thirty days. Mr. Hagadorn appeared before the Board inregards to the West River Road Water Line, Mr. Hagadorn requested permission to arange for P�, Mr. Ness, a Bond Attorney to appear before the Board in order to explain the 1911 and 1915 Bond Act. Manager explained the Board was reluctant to obligate the entire District inregards to the possible 104: tax levy. Chairman Aweeka stated the District has never levied a tax and Mr. Hagadorn wasput t ing the Board into a position of doing so. Hagadorn stated the tax would not be levied unless the Board desires to do so. Following further discussion Hagadorn stated he would arrange for a meeting with Mr. Ness at an early date, 1 (� per Kwhr.
