SIERRA MEADOWS WATER TANK Mr. Cattan stated he had a meeting with Dan Cook and Duane Anderson, engineer for General American regarding this tank. Mr. Anderson feels that the developers of Ponderosa Palisades are not sharing the cost of this tank and will benefit from this tank more than the developers of Sierra Meadows. Trouble is anticipated with them on the booster pump station, which was recommended by Brien Walters. FRED TOMBOLINI - BOOSTER PUMP SITE FOR SIERRA MEADOW Mr.. Fred Tombolini will quit claim deed the District a 10' X 12' site for a booster pump. Trees will hide the redwood building to be constructed by the District from Mr. Tombolini's sight. The difference between the underground service requested by Mr. Tombolini and the overhead service will be less than $200. (The letter from Mr. Tombolini to the District stating he would deed the land to the District was read.) A motion was made by Mr. Stone and seconded by Mr. Moore that the Manager be allowed to install this underground service and obtain a quit claim deed from Mr. and Mrs. Tombolini, Vallejo, California, for the booster pump site. ROLL CALL: Doyle, aye; Rose, aye; Loehr, aye; Stone, aye; Moore, aye. Motion carried. So ordered. PROSSER LAKEVIEW ESTATES UNITS 1 THROUGH 5 Mr. Cattan officially informed the Board that Lakeworld Development Corpora- tion has purchased Prosser Lakeview Estates, Units 1 through S from Truckee Tahoe Lake Estates. Lakeworld wishes to bear the cost of any utility line extensions rather than charge their customers. (A draft of the electric �. agreement between Lakeworld and the District regarding this subdivision was distributed to each director for their perusal before the special meeting July 2 3.) LINE TO MARTIS VALLEY DAM Mr. Cattan stated the District is still working with the Corps of Engineers regarding easement problems. The District has written the attorney of one of the property owners. The easement goes through the sewer ponds and the Joerger lands. This line will be a permanent, 3 phase, 4 wire overhead line. (A diagram was drawn depicting the proposed line to the dam.) Mr. Cattan mentioned that we will definitely have to go underground if we go on forestry land, but the Corps of Engineers won't go underground. The Corps of Engineers will pay for an extension off the proposed line to the gates of the dam, but the contractor (Perini) will pay for the rest of the line. July 21, 1970 Page 118 (July 21, 19 70 - Continued) RESOLUF ION 7012, AMENDAINT TO RESOLUTION 6 701 RE I RRI GAT I ON, SECURITY LIGHTS A draft of the resolution was read. The purpose of this resolution is to delete the section "Distributi6n Lines - Three Phase for Irrigation" and to amend the rates regarding security lights (Page 11) by inserting a revised Page 11 to the original resolution 6701, the revised Page 11 attached hereto being a part of these minutes. Mr. Cattan explained that we have no irrigation in this area, and the section on irrigation is meaningless, that the Corps of Engineers wanted to consider the dam for irrigation purposes. Mr. Cattan reiterated that the District is supplying lighting only. Regarding security lights on private property, the District feels an increase from $3.00 to $4.00 on security lights and an increase from $1.00 to $2.00 on each pole is necessary due to costs of labor and material at the present time. Mr. Doyle mentioned he thought security lights were a public relations item. Mr. Cattan stated each pole costs the District $100, there is no installation charge and the rates haven't been raised in 5 years. It was noted that security lights differ from street lights in that street lights are installed on public property. A motion was made by Mr. Moore and seconded by Mr. Stone that the District adopt Resolution 7012 which is an amendment to Resolution 6701 with the provision that the section on security lights be effective September 1, 1970 and the deletion of the irrigation section be effective immediately. ROLL CALL: Doyle, aye; Rose, aye; Loehr, aye; Stone, aye; Moore, aye. i Motion carried. So ordered. Resolution 7012 attached hereto being a part of these minutes. NIC K K CANIOLA (FOR PAT SHAKE) - EAS BIENT Mr. Nick Camola, employee of Sha Neva, Inc. , was present. Mr. Camola stated that he was before this Board three months ago, and at that time the Board verbally granted him an easement from Brockway Road to his property if the recreation district agreed. Mr. Doyle stated the Board is on record for granting the easement for $3,000 to Mr. Hennesy with the approval of the recreation board. Mr. Shane stated this same easement was granted him at no charge 2-3 years ago. Mr. Doyle stated at that time the Board didn't discuss any compensation to the District. Mr. Shane thought his easement was all set, that Jack Dutweiller was present at the last Board meeting to represent him. Mr. Rose stated he remembered discussing the easement but never arriving at a point of drawing up a formal agree- ment between Mr. Shane and the District, that easements are usually granted for a nominal fee. Mr. Camola stated Sha Neva never asked for land to be given them, just an easement for a road which will meet county and state specifications and will be dedicated to the county; that this road will open both pieces of land for public use with no charge to the District. Mr. Doyle recalled that previously the Board was dealing with local people i in this matter, but now this easement has a commercial aspect. Mr. Camola stated he was told by Mr. Schwartz of the recreation district that he would handle the matter. Mr. Moore said he talked with Mr. Schwartz regarding j this easement but doesn't recall any formal action by the recreation dis- trict. Mr. Doyle reiterated that the District is on record for a 30' ease- ment on our property for Mr. Shane. Mr. Shane stated that both the recreation board and the District agreed to an easement at no charge. Mr. Doyle asked if the Sha-Neva request for an easement was associated with Mr. Hennesy's previous request for this same easement, and both Mr. Shane and Mr. Camola said no. Mr. Camola further stated that Sha Neva had given an easement to the Sanitary District at no charge and "turn about is fair play", Mr. Doyle asked Mr. Camola what his connection is with Sha Neva and he replied he is just an employee with no financial interest. Mr. Shane interjected that Mr. Camola does have the authority to speak for Sha Neva however. Mr. Doyle stated he felt the District should research the minutes and recordings. Mr. Shane said he would like to get the matter resolved tonight. Mr. Doyle reiterated that the District has no formal communication regarding this matter from the recreation district. Mr. Shane volunteered to send the District a letter from Mr. Hennesy announcing his withdrawal of a request for this easement. Mr. Doyle tabled this matter at the request of Mr. Camola so that the minutes and recordings could be researched and a communication from the recreation district could be obtained. Page 119 July 21, 1970 (July 21, 19 70 - Continued) SIERRA MEADOWS WATER FOR TESTING Mr. Cattan stated that it appears that General American is going to build the tank now, and Mr. Cattan would like a formal recomamendation from the Board regarding giving them water for testing. Mr. Moore stated that he felt the District should adhere to its previous stipulation that GA build the tank for storage. (1969 and 1970 correspondence between General American, the District and their respective attorneys was read.) The Board of Directors unanimously agreed that the District will not provide water for testing purposes until performance has been shown by GA in the building of the required storage tank as stipulated in the contract. MANAGER'S REPORT U.S. FOREST SERVICE TANK EMPTIED: Tank was down to 0 due to an air lock in the South s i e pump. Water was fed from Gateway to this tank by way of the new pump which has proved to be quite satisfactory. 6" PIPELINE FROM SCHOOL TO FIREHOUSE: Mr. Cattan stated this job by Alpine Smith is proceeding satisfactorily. Mr. Moore raised the question that the District had paid Mr. Smith some $1200 above the bid price on the Gateway job. Mr. Cattan explained the extra expense evolved from the repair of the downtown and forest service roads. The Board suggested that the Office denote on the bills for Board's approval whether or not payment is within the scope of the contract or extra, and that a statement on Alpine Smith be submitted for review at the next Board meeting. WATER LEAK - PONDEROSA PALISADES: Mr. Cattan mentioned that a large leak has been discovered in Ponderosa Palisades at the end of the subdivision due to a defective welded "T". This leak has been running underground for perhaps as long as two years and just recently was vi s ib 1 e on top of the ground. No further business to come before this Board, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Rose to adjourn. ROLL CALL: Doyle, aye; Rose, aye; Loehr, aye; Stone, aye; Moore, aye.
