of July 23 were submitted and approved as written.
After a brief discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Moore and seconded by
Mr. Loehr that the bills and bills for Board's approval be paid as listed.
ROLL CALL: Loehr, aye; Stone, aye; Moore, aye; Rose, aye.
Motion carried. Bills attached hereto being a part of these minutes.
ROBERT D. BUTLER EASEMENT., PONDEROSA PALISADES
Mr. Butler was present and briefed the Board on the history of arriving at
an easement agreement which was signed on May 14, 1970. However, Mr. Butler
is requesting a document listing six stipulations, a copy of which is
attached and is part of these minutes, which can be recorded. Mr. Butler
feels the granting of this easement has diminished the value of his property,
and future purchasers of all or part of his property should know there is
an easement on the property; hence the request for a document with the
conditions of the easement which can be recorded. After lengthy discussion,
the Board agreed as follows:
1. PUD will improve existing dirt road and maintain it.
2. An adequate surface will be provided on this road, such as red
cinders or gray gravel, to prevent erosion.
3. Adequate supervision of grading of the road will be accomplished
so that large boulders, etc. will not be disturbed.
4. There will be a 2" tap at the tank adequate to service 5 lots.
S. Posts and perhaps a gate at the end of the road just before tank.
6. Easement shall be abandoned by Truckee Donner Public Utility
District if at such time it is determined it shall no longer be
used by the District.
Mr. Beavers was agreeable to this proposal since he is the first lien holder
on the property and reiterated that all he and Mr. Butler want is a docu-
ment with these stipulations that can be recorded.. A motion was made by
Mr. Moore and seconded by Mr. Loehr that our attorney draw up the proper
papers with these stipulations to be recorded.

ROLL CALL: Loehr, aye; Stone, aye; Moore, aye Rose, aye.
Motion carried. So ordered.
C. S. BEAVERS, PONDEROSA PALISADES WEST
Mr. Beavers represents the property owners in the proposed Ponderosa Pali-
sades West Subdivision located in the southwest quarter of Section 15 and
read a list of the property owners. The water system has been approved by
August 4, 1970 Page 128
August 4, 1970 - Continued
C. S. BEAVERS, PONDEROSA PALISADES WEST (CONTINUED)
Raymond Vail & Associates, whose representative, Mr. James Malcomb, was
present tonight. Since 3 or 4 lot lines have been moved, the water
system has to be resubmitted to the District for further inspection.
Mr. Beavers stated that he had been informed by Mr. Malcomb who had been
informed by Mr. Cattan that in addition to the 1962 contract between
Mr. Beavers and the District, the developer has to abide by Resolution
7006 passed April 17, 19 70.
Mr. Beavers stated he has abided by the ...�
1962 contract for 8 years and does not agree that the passing of a new
resolution automatically voids past agreements and contracts. The 22
acres in Placer County in -question tonight is almost ready to be incor-
j porated into the 200 acre Ponderosa Palisades Subdivision proper in
Nevada County, but Mr. Beavers needs a letter of approval of the water
system from the District to present to the Nevada County Planning Commis-
sion. Mr. Beavers respectfully requests the Board to recognize the 1962
agreement and to allow him to proceed without additional conditions being
imposed upon him. Mr. Beavers stated he formerly agreed to install a
10" line to the tank at an expense of $13,368, in addition to deeding
approximately 2 1/2 acres for a tank site and utility yard to the District,
installing valves. hydrants, etc. , paying for inspection on the improve-
ments, and even assisting District crews in the completion of the work on
the water main. Mr. Beavers stated that living up to the 1962 contract
has cost him $40,000 in addition to having a time limit in which to accom-
plish the work. Mr. Stone stated he thought there were two contradicting
paragraphs in the contract and felt the contract should be referred to
hat the contract had been referred to
our Attorney. Mr. Beavers stated t
Mr. Chamberlain in the fall of 1968 and a subsequent meeting between
Messrs. Chamberlain, Longo, Mole (Attorney for SMUD) and Beavers was
held at which time the District and its attorney agreed the 1962 contract
was valid. Mr. Beavers reiterated that for instance the 10" water line
was not in the contract, but he agreed to install it and did so in good
faith. Mr. Malcomb stated his firm has complied with Mr. Beavers in the
other units of the subdivision, which is further indication of the 1962 .--.
contract stipulations. Mr. Sheldon Beavers requested the Board to
approach this matter of the approval of the revised water system for i
Ponderosa Palisades West with due haste in their behalf. Mr. C. S.
Beavers stated the plans have already been approved by the engineers,
such plans including a booster pump for homes on high lots, that the
water system is designed to be a minimum problem to the District. Mr.
Beavers further stated he referred the 1962 contract to Mr. Ward Mole,
and he encouraged him to subdivide. Mr. Beavers introduced his present
I attorney, Mr. Wallace Stevens, and stated Mr. Stevens would be available
at any time for questions and/or consultation. Mr. Rose tabled this
matter pending an opinion from Mr. Chamberlain.
WATER AGREEMENT, PROSSER LAKEVIEW ESTATES, LAKEWORLD DEVELOPMENT CORP.
Mr. Fred Damavandi was present for Lakeworld and stated that the draft
of the agreement was in accordance with Resolution 7006 and they would
construct a storage tank and pay a source charge as was previously agreed
by Truckee Tahoe Lake Estates on June 3, 19 70. A motion was made by
Mr. Stone and seconded by Mr. Loehr that the agreement of June 3, 1970
be assigned from Truckee Tahoe Lake Estates to Lakeworld Development
Corporation, since Lakeworld has recently purchased subject subdivision.
ROLL CALL: Loehr, aye; Stone, aye; Moore, aye; Rose, aye.
Motion carried. So ordered.
BID - 8" WATER MAIN, KE I SER AVENUE
This bid is part of the water system improvement program in the District
and this 8" line will replace 620' of existing 4" line which is a bottle-
neck between Prosser Heights system and the town system, thus reducing
sser Lakeview Estates. Fire protection will
pressure and volume to Pro
be doubled in the Gateway area with this new line. This bid calls for 2
additional hydrants. The District will coordinate this work with the
i
Sanitary District. Bids will be opened at the August 1810 1970 meeting.

STATEMENT OF WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS TO DATE THIS YEAR
The District has made many water system improvements already this year
although they have been costly. Mr. Cattan stated there were no water
improvements last year. The booster punp for Prosser Heights has been
ordered and should arrive in 10 days.
{
... EASEMENTS IN GENERAL TO BE GRANTED
Mr. Cattan stated it is the legal opinion of our attorney, Paul Chamberlain,
that the District should be compensated for any easement granted to private
parties and that the practice of granting easements free or for $1.00 is
outdated. The District cannot give public property away. Mr. Stone suggested
the District notify Mr. Pat Shane of this decision. Mr. Rose suggested a
formal policy be written by the District regarding the granting of easements.
f
MANAGER S. REPORT
The electric power installation to the new Bank of America is nearly
complete.
Regarding the substation site at Donner Lake, a meeting will be held with
Mr. McG 1 ashan on Sunday., August 16, regarding the granting of an easement.
A meeting with Sierra Pacific Power Company will also be scheduled because
their metering equipment has to be coordinated with our substation at
Donner Lake. They will design the system, and we will work with them in
all phases. This substation will be put to bid and probably ordered next
month as delivery may take 9 months. The District may have to use REA
funds, and they will probably have to approve this substation.
PONDEROSA PALISADES, LACK OF WATER
Wally Stevens, representing 7 owners and himself in this subdivision,
stated that the residents consider the lack of water a very serious problem
in that there is not enough water for private everyday use let alone adequate
fire protection. Referring to the 1962 contract, Mr. Stevens asked the
Board what can be done to correct this situation and how long will this
corrective action take? Mr. Cattan stated that the work on the storage tank
in conjunction with General American is progressing. Mr. Stevens, an
attorney, mentioned the District has tremendous liability as to damage.
Mr. Stone stated this Board will not be driven to legal action. Mr. Stevens
stated he had read the agreement, and the District must be aware that there
are covenants running with the land. Mr. Sheldon Beavers, also a resident
of Ponderosa Palisades, stated the residents don't know for sure whether or
not the construction of this tank will correct the fire problem, that lack
of adequate fire protection makes it impossible to insure a home, that if
General American is resisting, litigation would take months and there would
be no fire protection in the meantime. Mr. Rose stated the District is
aware of the problem and is doing everything it can to resolve the situation.
Mr. Cattan stated the tank should be completed before December 1970. Mr.
Gerald Gonzales, another resident, inquired as to an additional storage tank
at a higher elevation for the residents who have lots in the higher part of
the subdivision. Mr. Cattan replied this question be directed to Mr. Beavers.
Mr. Sheldon Beavers inquired if the Board had some plans to overcome this
situation and when would these plans be implemented? Mr. Cattan stated
there is a plan for the area of Sierra Meadows, Ponderosa Palisades and the
Golf Course. Mr. Rose stated this proposed tank will relieve the tank at
the U.S. Forest Service, but eventually there has to be a tank at a higher
elevation in Ponderosa Palisades, that the problem is storage not avail-
ability of water. Mr. Gordon Cady, a resident, stated that three years
ago this problem didn't exist or else his fire insurance rates wouldn't
have been increased. He asked what caused the pressure drop, that if Mr.
Maki submits a report and the insurance rates increase, who will pay for
this increase? Mr. Cady stated he has a reducing valve on his system and
has no pressure problem, but other residents have been without water for
2-3 days in the past. Mr. Stone mentioned this Board has no control over
the private fire insurance underwriters, but he heard they have doubled
their requirements. Mrs. Cady mentioned that a bank or financing agency
August 4, 1970 Page 130
August 4, 1970 - Continued
PONDEROSA PALISADES, LACK OF WATER (CONTINUED)
won't handle a house they can't insure and why hasn't Mr. Maki brought
this matter to our attention 3 years ago? Mr. Stone mentioned that even
lis
after this tank i.s built, the r Palisades may esidents of Ponderosa a a y not
k enjoy the benefits from this tank because of the population growth in
this area. Mr. Gonzales said if the residents are subject to progress
which includes increased rates, why isn't the Board subject to progress?
Mr. Rose replied that the District has made much progress, especially
in the last 3 years, compared to other Districts in this area. Mr. Loehr
inquired whether water from the South Side Springs can be directly
{ pumped to Ponderosa Palisades. Mr. Cattan replied the problem is not
enough water, but. storage for water.
Mr. Don Archer, Water Foreman for
the District, mentioned to Mr. Cady that he is 50' be-low pressure zone 1
and that a booster pump at his house will be relocated above his house
{ thereby increasing the flow to other parts of the subdivision. Mr. Cattan
stated the District has the booster pump site from Mr. Tombolini, and
we will relocate the booster pump which Murray McCormick will put to bid.
Mr. Cattan stated the pumps are running now and we should receive a letter
} from the county tomorrow stating the tank has been approved by Dan Cook.
General American will build the tank, but they are still questioning the
t
booster station.
i
No further business to come before this Board, a motion was made by
Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Moore to adjourn. All ayes. Meeting
adjourned at 10:01 P.M.
