BIDS FOR POLES
Manager read analises on bids for poles. L. D. McFarland was the lowest
bidder and he was awarded the bid.
LEISURE LEASE LAND AT DONNER TRAIL'S UNIT 2
It has come to our attention that the Leisure Land at Donner Trail'
Unit #2 is still under the Dis tiict's claim relative to its development.
This land has a $64,500.00 mortgage on it. Paul Chamberlain advised Manager
to have a title -report prepared so the District will know precisely
what the obligation is.
In addition to the $64,500.00 there is a bond. Part of the bond covers the
installation of the water tank which was spread over the 19 acres. There
wmw
are still 19 acres undeveloped, and it would be questionable in Managers
' opinion to expect to- take- the- land back because of the fact that there is
such an obligation on it. The obligation was held by the Canadian Bank of
Commerce as a' first mortgage and the mortgage is actually secondary to
the claim of the bond. 'If--.anyone wanted to acquire this property they
would not only have to pay off the $64,500.00, but also the bond.
Until we get the final report from the Inter-County Title Co, this
matter will have to stay as is. It is probable we will have the report
within the next 10 days. Manager will report as soon as he hears from
the Inter-County Title Co'
REPORT ON MEETING WITH SIERRA PACIFIC
On October 11, Mr. McDonough, Mr, Kienlen, Bri6n Walters, and Manager met
with Sierra Power relative to the use of their water from Donner Lake
in accordance with their proposal. Their proposal was to supply the
District with water at et Vp roximately $5.00 per acre foot in a quanity not
to exceed 500 acre e ?
f Until such time as the Districts could acquire
through rights obtained through California water control Board enough
water to take care of District requirements.
In conversation with Mr. Layton, it was determined that we 'hTould perhaps
be handicapped by the time element because there is no possible chance
that they are going to allogate that water, --~
At this time the water has been tentatively designated as 4,000 acre
-- feet for California's sbAreof the total 10,000 acre feet of available
water at Stampede. This water ha.s-�not been approved= by the Federa:1
Government and in discussing this matter with Mr. Kienlen, who -is' an ex-
pert in this field, it is his considered opinion that this water will not
be allocated until perhaps 1 year after this dam has been completed.
Therefore, it
would be impractical to even guess on the amount of water
we will be able to obtain.
Mr. Layton offered to supply i the District with 1,000 acre feet which was
considerably more water than we had anticipated they would sell us.
This would be at the $5.00 per acre foot '
After lengthy
discussion it was Mr. McDonough'sadvice recommended
by Mr. Kien len and Brien Walters, that the District go ahead and --�
enter Into an agreement with Sierra Pacific for this water to be paid
for as it is used without any determined stand by charge. This water
will be supplied lied during the months of June through September, which
are our peak months when we require more water.
Mrg
McDonough is going to prepare contract for the Distract to
present to
Sierra Pacific for their comment and we should have this by
the 1st of November.
Sierra
Power will require and expects us to go into negotiations to
acquire the yield that would be in the neighborhood of 2,000 acre feet
from Stampede Dam.
We will procee
d on this basis at the present time, and as soon as the
contra
ct is finalized with Sierra Pacific, then we can go to Davis
Grunsky
and EDA and present a program to them that will enable us
through loan or grant to obtain sufficient money to put in a water
service pump line an intake system from Donner Lake.
Discussion ensued.
Manager stated Si
erra Pacific will give us the water with the stipulation
p
we negotiate
for the replacement water, not with the stipulation that
we will acquire the water. Replacement water will cost approximately
$17.00 per acre foot.

Manager stated that an agreement should be :drawn-up and presented to the
sub-divider in understandable form.
On September 24th,
the Board had a considerable lengthy discussion on this
same subject and it was moved by Director Firpo and Seconded by Director

Waters that the $100.00 Facilities fee be paid in advance by the sub-

• . 6825 pursuant to the Library Demonstration be adopted.
The Resolution was adopted by a roll call vote. The Resolution attached

MANAGER t S REPORT
Manager reported we encountered very little damage during the last storm.
We had one outage at Donner 'Lake caused by a tree. This was repaired in
approximately 2 1/2 hours,
'^ Refiben Maki asked Manager to present to the Board that he still has and would
like to sell to the District, his snow sled on a trailer. His initial cost
of the sled was $1,250.00. He will sell tous for $850.00 It has had
installed a new, belt which is the most critical part of one of these machines.
It is 2 yearsoldPreviously we have been renting a ski-doo from Bob Tonini,
Director Waters inquired as to how many times was oneneeded last year?
Manager stated we used it 6 or 7 times and explained the various areas
which they were used.
Discussion ensued.
It was stated that we could use snowshoes or skits to get to the troublesome
areas. The cost of the rental of the ski-doo last year was approximately
$200.00,
The airport beacon is the most troublesome area to reach.
After discussion the Board agreed they did not want to purchase a second
hand snowsled, and we should get bids from other dealers.
Manager stated he received a phone call relative to the Inspection Station
from the department of General Service, Mr. Frank D. Kotey, and he informed
manager we will be allowed a 6 month grace period in payment of the $58,000.00.
The Bank of California is able -to provide through a lease purchase program
fund for us to buy the building. This will require an adoption of A- .
Resolution by the Board.
Tom Paulus explained that what the Resolution pretains to is that the Board
o xp ..is in favor of accepting the approach the bank has made.
The_..District has an obligation to a lease of the present office -building
which will run until June 1st of 1969 so we have approximately 7 months
to get the building ready.
Discussion Continued.
The state is to be notified by the end of the month as to whether or not
we want the building,
Manager was requested to notify the State that we are interested in acquiring
the property dependent upon the cost of our obligation, '
Director Firpo moved and Director Moore seconded that Resolution No. 6826,
Pursuant to applying for a lease purchase agreement for the purchase of the
inspection station, be adopted. It was passed by a-roll call vote.
Resolution attached hereto being a part of the minutes.
p
Manager reported that on October 14th, accompanied-by Jack Houlgate and the
engineer for Prosser Lake View Estates Sub-division, met with Brien Walters
relative to the installation of facilities. Mr. Walters suggested there be
several changes in their lay-out.
It was understood that the next stage of progress in this sub-division is
t a 100000 gallons storage facility to - be put- in.
At this point it will be
necessary for us todetermine whether or not we request that they should
supply source and storage.
We received word from Mr. Luke Lang that 50 lots will be developed up at
Prosser Lake Heights tank in 1969. They plan to develop 50 lots per
year at 1/2-acre per lot according to sale.
It is Managers considered opinion that since we have retained Brien Walters
we should stand pact on what his recommendations- are.

Chairman felt it l g s' Managers position to meet with Mr. Murphy•
Manager
stated he had to be instructed by the Board to go out and meet
with Mr. Murphy.
These lights are a contribution in leu of the -taxes which the -District does
not pay.
Chairman
stated we should install lights in the complete area, not just
various places. Discussion continued.
Manager will contact Murphy on this matter.
Q Director Rose inquired about the underground cable going in atDonner Lake
near -
ar Kin Cole's Chalet. He asked if the lines would still be running over-
head of the houses. Manager stated they would.

Manager stated that by
1970 it would probably be manditory to put all lines
underground. .
i o inquired as to how many transformers burned out at Hugh
Camerons?. Manager stated a fuse keeps blowing out and we cant find out
what is causing it. Manager's opinion is there is a dead short in there
that is a good enough short to burn out these transformers.
Discussion ensued.
Manager repo
rted the facts on the bank doing our billing. This would cause
two problems. We have on-. an average during the surflner months of approximately
180 transfers a month.
The bank could
not handle this so we would still have to maintain billing for
