Upon roll call the following Directors were noted present: Rose, Firpo, Doyle, Moore, Waters. District Employees Present: Longo, Cattan, Paulus Guests: Brien Walters, C. S. Beavers, Jack Houlgate Minutes of the meeting of August; 6, , were approved as written subject to the following corrections: ------ Brien Walters: Finacing page 105. Third sentence from bottom of paragraph: He stated that with a grant there would be no payment for 10 years and the District proposed rate increase would raise the necessary 20o by time to repay the loan. Grant changed to Davis-Grunsky Financing. Director Rose: page 105 strike out following: He stated that after the developer sells out his lots and is out of business there would be no provision for both source and storage. Corrections were noted. It was moved and seconded by the Board of Directors that the bills be paid as listed. STATEMENT ON C.M.U.A. - MEMBERSHIP FEES Manager reported that he received a letter form theC.M.U.A, requesting an answer from the Board of Directors stating whether the board would consider an increase of the annual dues from $35 to $100 to be affective after the lst of January 1969. The $100 is beneficial as it would allow Legislative Representation for this District. TheC.M.U.A, was instrumental in dealings with the union and REA, etc. Manager was directed to write a letter to C.M.U.A, stating the increase was favorably considered and does not seem to be an excessive charge. HEARING OF OPINION IN WATER RATE ORDINDANCE Manager stated that a request was made last meeting to revise Sect. 4 of Rules and Regulations. Paul Chat erlain, Attorney, sent the following revisions for the Board of Directors consi eration. Facilities Fees states: Being $100 per lot or parcel etc, containing 10,000 or less spuare feet in area per lot or parcel, containing more than 10,000 feet in-area pE�r lot or parcel the fee of $100 shall be increased in a ratio of square footage of the area over 10,000 square feet up to minimum fafasilities fee of $200. "' Manager stated that the Regulation should state $100 facilities fee for lot or parcel to be paid in accordance with 4.31). Director Moore suggested that a clause stating the facilities fees are for other than a one time connection. He stated that he thought if the section was going to be amended this statement should be included. Director Moore 41so suggested we have a definite clause stating the size of the connection. Manager revised this to read - Facilities fees to be in accordance with the sizes of the connections. Jack Houlgate asked for precise definition of facilities fees. Manager read definitions and stated there was no definition for Basic facilities fees. It was stated that this should apply to all lots and fees are payable when services are wanted. Sub-divider should be requested to pay fees right away because developed land would be in need of water vefore undeveloped land. Fees can only be changed to lot owners when water is applied for. Jack Houlgate stated that the District has not had any expense with capitol investments. He stated that with units one and two the sub-dividers have provided the District with capitol improvements of $180,976. This is $810 per :Lot. He also stated the District has not extended with their money. When it was necessary to extend the line for water from the District, the sub- divider payed $33,088, Director Firpo explained that the money for the facilities on the lots could be added to the sale of the lots. It was stated that should we wait for each customer to move in, collecting $100 at a time, we cannot accumulate eno4gh money to prepare for future reserve. In this way the District is also trying to protect the developer. Manager stated that when water is hooked up, then it becomes an operating facility and calls for attention. Jack Houlgate stated that until water is asked for, a lot is not a danger to the District. Manager stated that a clause stating where required elevated storage is in the destribution plans, should be included as part of the distribution low*- system. Director Moore suggested that the sub-divider should be required to contact the District and get the approximate facilities fees before starting his sub-division. Brien Walters will define facilities and basic facilities at the next Board meeting. Chairman Doyle stated that there will be no further action taken on this matter until the District can get proper recommendation and amendments from the Engineers, at which time a special meeting will be called. RESOLUTIONS FOR O.E.D.PR Resolutions #6817, 6818, and 6819 were read by manager and approved and ad- opted by the Board of directors. TRUCKEE DONNER LAND PROPOSAL Manager suggested that the necessary data be gathered and presented at the next board meeting. The data should consist of what is necessary to change the name of TRUCKEE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT to TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT. It was suggested that the word Public be dropped from the title. LUNCH HOURS FOR EMPLOYEES Manager reported that the 112 hour for lunch and quitting at 4:30 p m seems to be working quite well, Manager also stated that having just one man on call for the week-ends seems quite efficient. Manager read a letter which was written to Mr, McDonough from Bob Layton of Sierra Pacific Power concerning the water from Stampede Dam. Mr Layton said they will release to the District, before we enter into contract agreement, 2,000 acre feet, 11/2 cent per 1,000 gallons. He further says they expect us with-in the next 5 years to firm up a contract for this amount of exchange quarters from Stampede. At the present time we can not contract for Stampede water for the contract has not been ratified by the Federal Government. Mana er ,11 follow-::through on this matter and will confer with Mr. McDonough g as soon as he returns from his vacation. Jack Houl ate thanked the Board of Directors for letting him join the meeting. Director Rose moved that the meeting be adjourned. Adjourned at 11:30pm. Paul A.
