GUESTS PRESENT: None.
No errors,, omissions or corrections, the minutes of February 16, 1971 were approved

BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
The Directors' and Manager's expenses for the recent CMUA meeting were submitted.
Mr. Moore suggested using the company car whenever possible. Quotes were sought on
the inventory supplies. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and
seconded by Mr. Stone that the bills be paid as listed, a copy of which is part of
these minutes.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So ordered.
i
RESOLUTION 7107, SUBSTATION LAND, DONNER LAKE
r The draft of Resolution 7107 was read by President Doyle, a copy of which is part
of these minutes. It was agreed that "with" should be changed to "from". Mr. Cattan
stated he will send a letter to Mr. McGlashan, whose land was also considered for the
substation. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Moore and seconded by
Mr. Loehr that the President be authorized to sign the contract for the Donner Lake
Substation land purchase from Mrs. Charlotte Harris for $5,000.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So ordered.
BIDS FOR ANNUAL SUPPLY OF STEEL PIPE
The amounts and specifications of the pipe were read, bids to be opened on April 6th
at 7:30 P.M. at the regular meeting. Mr. Stone felt we should have an emergency
supply of pipe, valves, fittings, etc. on hand in the event of a disaster like the
recent Los Angeles earthquake. Mr. Doyle agreed, saying we should be able to cope
with any disaster immdiately. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr
and seconded by Mr. Stone that the Manager be authorized to call for bids for various
sizes of steel pipe.
ROLL CALL: h. Moore, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So ordered.
The necessary notice will be published in the newspaper. Mr. Doyle mentioned he
thought the Los Angeles Water Works representative's graphic demonstration of the
recent earthquake's damage was well presented, depicting $4 S million damage to the
water and power. W. Stone noted that Los Angeles had to also contend with the
sewer pipes breaking, contaminating the water supply.
RE-ALLOCATION OF REA FUNDS
Mr. Cattan has written REA, requesting them to reallocate funds for the Danner Lake
Substation rather than for overhead lines as originally requested. Mr. Leary has
already written Washington unofficially. Mr. Cattan also spoke with Mr. Coulombe
(REA, Western Division) who will be visiting this area March 16, 1971.
DONNER TRAIL TANK SITE
Mr. Cattan proposed and the directors approved a 150,000 gallon tank next to the
existing 100,000 gallon redwood tank in Donner Trail. Mr. Cattan has requested the
land for this additional tank from Lakeworld, as the lot is unsuitable for develop-
ment, being cut by a road. Mr. Damavandi offered to pay for this tank, but his
organization would like to install a 300,000 gallon tank on this 90' X 60' parcel
so they will have water for their construction this year. Mr. Cattan mentioned this
March 43, 1971 Page 25
MARCH 4, 19 71 - CONTINUED
DONNER TRAIL TANK SITE (CONTINUED)
tank would be interconnected with the 100,000 gallon tank behind Gateway. Mr.
Doyle inquired why the tank shouldn't be at a higher elevation? Mr. Cattan
replied the population is concentrated at the proposed elevation, and the higher
elevation would produce too much pressure. Mr. Doyle felt the District should
consider that we may receive objections from neighbors to this additional tank.
Mr. Stone suggested conferring with Dan Cook, and Mr. Cattan stated he had already
done s o. Mr. Loehr inquired about the Donner Lake Pumping Station schedule.
Mr. Cattan replied it should be operating in early 1972, and mentioned that this
300,000 gallon tank could supply Armstrong. Mr. Stone expressed concern that the
District may be demanded from Lakeworld to replace the 300,000 gallon storage.
The directors generally agreed that this tank would be considered a credit to the
2,800,000 gallon storage agreed upon by Lakeworld and not an advance. Mr. Doyle
stated the Board will make the final decision on this tank based on the Manager's
and Dan Cook's final recommendations. Mr. Loehr inquired if the line would be
'alive' at all times? Mr. Cattan replied not all the time, that Armstrong could
be supplied from the tanks when the line was not 'alive' . This 300,000 gallon
tank would be approximately 45'-50' in diameter and 20' high. Mr. Stone emphasized
preserving the tree cover during the construction of this tank.
MANAGER'S REPORT
Mr. Cattan, a member on the Legislative Committee at the recent CMUA meeting,
stated that two major bills were discussed as follows:
1. Undergrounding, introduced on 2/16/71, to be added to the Public Utilities
Code, designed to encourage undergrounding, not recommended by CMUA. Mr.
Cattan felt the snow and terrain of our area make undergrounding impractical.
2. Force account, not to perform extension work, but give work to contractors.
CMUA will oppose this bill.
CMUA MEETING
Mr. Stone felt that even though the District had to pay for the expenses of the
members to attend the CMUA meeting, it was worthwhile in that we came away with
the assurance that if we get into any difficulties, we know where we can go to get
help; with considerable information to keep us from getting into trouble in the
first place; with a briefing in labor relations and legislation at the state and
federal levels; with financing information and ways to. secure financing such as
entering into a joint venture, etc.
Regarding labor, it was suggested that:
1. White and blue collar workers be separated because difficulties arose when
management was a member of labor unions.
2. Management verify union "scuttlebutt".
3. Companies and districts should avoid agreeing to one part of a bargaining
package before the other part is presented during negotiations.
4. CMUA does not recommend making retroactive payments without payment increases.
Regarding legislation, Mr. Stone felt that CMUA was the primary agent in defeating
the Bagley bill. Many bills were introduced regarding the effect of utilities on
our environment, which seemed to be the theme of the entire session. The Vice
President of GE stated we can prevent the scarring of our country by better planning,,
but we can encourage the decrease of the use of power. The value of emergency plans
for utilities was stressed by Mr. Stone, that our men should have an emergency check-
list to help restore electric and water services as soon as possible as well as
having pipe, etc. on hand at all times.
Mr. Stone was quite impressed with the field trip to the Santa Cruz Water Works
which is automated with only one man to oversee the operation, and with the care
and work that goes into every gallon of water.

MARCH 4, 1971 - CONTINUED
CMUA MEETING (CONTINUED)
Mr. Stone commended Mr. Norman Woodbury, Executive Secretary, and his associate
Mr. Frank Mesbly, as truly being lobbyists for utilities in general and as being
the watchdogs for the best interests of utilities.
A representative of the California Taxpayers Assocation assailed public utilities
for not bearing a burden of the tax load.
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Moore that
the meeting be adjourned. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at 9:45 P.M.

MARCH 16, 1971
The regular meeting of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District was called to order
by President Doyle at 7:30 P.M. in the conference room of the District.
ROLL CALL: Moore, absent; Anderson, present; Stone, present; Loehr, present; Doyle,
present.
EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Cattan, Paulus, Bliss, Archer.
Pam-
GUESTS PRESENT: Mr. Jim Coulombe, REA.
No errors, corrections or omiss ions, the minutes of March 2. 1971 were approved as
written.
BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
Mr. Paulus mentioned the engineering work from Dan Cook involved various tank sites.
After brief discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Anderson
that the bills be paid as listed, a copy of which is part of these minutes.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So ordered.
APPROVAL TO BID PONDEROSA WATER TANK
Mr. Cattan stated that Dan Cook will have the bids ready for the District in 3-4 days.
No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone that
the Manager be authorized to call for bids on the Ponderosa Water Tank.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So ordered.
DONNER TRAIL TANK
r
As discussed at the last meeting, the size of the tank Lakeworld is installing in
Donner Trail will be 280,000-300,000 gallons. Fred Damavandi is presently working with
r Dan Cook on this project, and Lakeworld will deed the triangular parcel of land for
this tank to the District. Mr. Cattan mentioned that the Sierra Meadows tank is being
put to bids again by Duane Anderson because he did not get the prices he needed. It
was noted that the cost is now 15�/gallon rather than 12�/gallon. Mr. Loehr inquired
if the Board would have to change the resolution with this new increase in tank storage
prices. Mr. Cattan stated the rate for Martis Valley Estates has already been fixed at
12�. After a brief discussion, it was determined that 12� had been established by
resolution for water outside the District, but this amount is subject to revision
(reference Resolution 7103) . Mr. Cattan presented a list of the proposed and existing
water storage tanks within the District, a copy of which is attached. Lakeworld will
build the Prosser LakeView and Donner Trail tanks; Nevada County Assessment District
the Sierra Meadows tank; and the District the balance of the tanks. Mr. Cattan said
there will be no expenditure in storage the next 10 years.
DONNER CREEK PUMP
The old Donner Creek Pump installed in 1958 needs overhauling because of sand. It
originally gave 180 GPM, now gives 135 GPM and is only run on weekends. The estimate
of labor to replace this vertical shaft is $1,000. Mr. Cattan recommends pulling the
purrs and installing a submersible pump (4 hours labor) which should give 200 GPM,
estimated cost: $1,400. Mr. Loehr mentioned that he understood the casings of this
well might collapse, but Mr. Cattan said the casings were all right, that the pump will
be cleaned at the same time. Mr. Stone inquired if there was any recovery value to the
old pump, and Mr. Cattan said he would check into this. Mr. Doyle suggested getting a
bid on this and the Prosser pump at the same time, but Mr. Cattan said he wanted to
test this pump first. No further discussion, a minute order was made by Mr. Loehr
and seconded by Mr. Stone that the Manager be authorized to investigate prices on
these purrs and report to the Board at the next meeting. All ayes.
AUTHORIZATION TO INSTALL 900' OF 10" PIPE UNDER FREEWAY AND CREEK
Mr. Cattan believes the existing line is 14' under the freeway, and should a break
occur, we could not provide water to Gateway, Donner Trail, State Park, etc. The pipe
was installed 12 years ago and may become defective at any time. In addition, Lake-
world may not finish the Donner Lake purring station this summer. This is an active
water line which also feeds the state park, which consumes a great deal of water during
the tourist season. This expenditure would be approximately $9,900, and Mr. Cattan
feels the District is in good financial shape and can afford this cost. Mr. Loehr
March 16, 19 71 Page 30
MARCH 16, 19 71 - CONTINUED
AUTHORIZATION TO INSTALL 9 0 0' OF 10" PIPE UNDER FREEWAY AND CREEK - CONTINUED
Mentioned that the very bridge we are contemplating putting the line on was involved
in floods 4 years ago, and the approaches were washed away. Mr. Cattan said he will
take this into consideration when designing the line, perhaps going underground at
the approaches to the bridge. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr
and seconded by Mr. Stone that the District proceed with the installation of 900' of
10" pipe in the Donner Creek area at an estimated cost of $9,900.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So ordered.
v
Mr. Cattan said he would request the approval of the Division of Highways in this
project.
MANAGER'S REPORT
1. Mr. Doyle introduced our guest, Mr. Jim Coulombe (REA Operation Field Represen-
tative) to the Board, and mentioned that the electric portion of our District
is progressing well, that all our problems are "water"., that no REA money was
needed for power line extensions, that the District enjoyed an excellent working
relationship with Mr. Seefeld and was looking forward to working with Mr. Coulombe
in that same capacity. Mr. Cattan said he would show Mr. Coulombe our subdivi-
sions, lines, projects, etc. tomorrow and mentioned the District will spend
$100,000 on water this year from water revenue. Mr. Stone asked Mr. Coulombe
what his thinking is on underground installations. Mr. Coulombe said there is
more and more undergrounding because of the ecology trend, that REA is encouraging
undergrounding. He felt it did not cost that much more to go underground than
aerial under normal circumstances, that there is less possibility of breakage
underground, even in snow areas.
2. There was an outage for 20 minutes in Prosser Lake because a fuse was blown, and
the airport line-downtown Truckee line was disconnected for 20 minutes for repair.
3. The men are building a platform in the garage for storing and easier loading and
unloading of transformers. There will be an overhead rail for handling trans-
formers on and off the trucks.
4. Mr. Stone mentioned there is a citizen's group desiring to purchase land at the
east end of Donner Lake to prevent Lakeworld from pumping water from the lake.
Mr. Stone would like to talk with Rex Reid of this group regarding this problem
representing the Board, and Mr. Doyle agreed that this was desirable. Mr. Stone
feels the lowering of the lake (which may be 15" at maximum) will not be drastic,
that this water is above the freeboard mark of the dam and would be going down
the river anyway. Mr. Cattan mentioned the District is required by contract to
help Lakeworld acquire land for this project if necessary.
S. Mr. Stone inquired about the all-electric rate that was discussed several months
ago but has never been finalized. He feels we should promote electricity at this
time just before our next construction season, that the new forestry office is
considering electric heat. Mr. Cattan will present this rate at the next meeting.
6. Mr. Stone again mentioned the District's having a disaster elan. in the event of
earthquake, floods, etc; namely, cataloging avai lab le resources of water t rucks,
backhoes and other equipment, having a working knowledge of the electric and
water lines of the District with their cutoff valves, etc. He mentioned that
there is a Southern Pacific oil transmission line under Prosser Dam, that we
should contact them to ascertain whom to call in case of a break. Mr. Doyle
commended Mr. Stone for being safety-minded and encouraged him to develop a """"
Disaster plan for the District. Mr. Stone suggested sending the Manager to Los
Angeles to talk to the Water and Electric Departments to see what they are planning
to avoid damage to their equipment and lines in another disaster such as their
recent earthquake, before we build our Donner Lake Substation. Mr. Doyle
suggested correlating our efforts with the local police, highway and fire depart-
ments in a consolidated effort. Mr. Cattan mentioned that Sierra Pacific has
portable substations we may borrow.
No further business to come before this Board, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and
seconded by Mr. Stone that the meeting be adjourned. All ayes. Meeting j ourned
at 9• P.M.

As you are aware, all new -subdivisions are subject to Resolution 7006.
Should they be close to our system and storage, then they could be
supplied from the above mentioned storage tanks, but they are still sub-

ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Loehr, aye; Stone, aye; Doyle, aye.
Motion carried. So ordered.
REA, REALLOCATION OF FUNDS
i
--, The letter of March 18 from Mr. Fitch stating that REA has no objection to reallo-
cating funds from power lines to the Donner Lake Substation was read by President
Doyle. Sierra Pacific prepared the necessary amendments to the contract which were
referred to Attorney McDonough for approval.
REA'S ADVICE ON RATE REDUCTIONS
Regarding the District's consideration of an all electric rate, Mr. Jim Coulombe
mentioned that REA does not recomwnd a rate reduction at this time because of the
possibility of an increased price of purchased power. The Board members concurred
that the winter heating season is over and that the District should table this
matter to see if Sierra Pacific increases their price. Mr. Stone mentioned that
Mt. Whitney Power reduced their rates 4 0 one year ago. Mr. Doyle asked that a
notice be published in the paper stating that "The Board considered a rate reduc-
tion, but due to pending increases in the not too distant future, the Board tabled
this matter pending further study".
i
LAKEWORLD, TAHOE NORTHWOODS, UNIT 1
I
Unit 1 is being recorded and Unit 2 is in the process of finalization for recording.
Lakeworld proposed an electric main line from Donner Trail to their ski tow, a
distance of 4.2 miles. Since 7 miles of line was previously agreed upon with the
District, Lakeworld revised their plans to show a 7 mile line going from Donner
Pass Road to a future substation. Plans are to build the line to the ski tow:: this
summer. Mr. Cattan mentioned that he had requested Lakeworld to face their water
pumping station with redwood to blend in with the natural surroundings, and that
Lakeworld had recently purchased 3 acres ( including 300' lake frontage for beach,
marine, etc.) from McReynolds.
DONNER CREEK PUMP
Two quotations have been obtained as follows:
COMPANY PUMP PULL OLD PUMP & CLEAN TOTAL REMARKS
JOHNSTON $196 7 $400 $2,36 7 Includes control. Original
suppliers. Larger cable
with lower voltage.
GOULD $1949 $225 $2,174
April 6, 1971 P4p 33
APRI L 6, 19 71 - CONTINUED
DONNER CREEK PUMP - CONTINUED
Mr. Cattan estimated $1,400 but didn't allow for the electric panel to start the
motor. The Board recommended consulting Paul Chamberlain if the District should
advertise for bids on this project since the total will exceed $2,000. This
matter was tabled until recommendations are obtained.
PONDEROSA WATER TANK
Mr. Dan Cook will give us the specifications for this tank next week.
RESOLUTION 7109, SURPLUS LAND, 120 ACRES, SECTION 9
Since this land is no longer needed by the District, Mr. T. B. Niehaus was engaged
to appraise this parcel which he did on 4/3/71 at a price of $251,500 or $2,095.83
an acre. In June 1966 the District was offered $60,000 or $500/acre for this land.
Most of the terrain is fairly flat exce t for a portion on the southeast side.
Mr. Niehaus's breakdown was 97 acres at �2,450 and 23 acres at $600, with an average
of $2,096 an acre. Mr. Niehaus's appraisal included comparisons of appraisals of
surrounding lands, which indicated his appraisal to be practical. Lakeworld,
whose land adjoins this parcel, is interested in purchasing this land. The Board
members were polled as follows:
Moore: Feel we should dispose of this property in view of the Sanitary District
Assessment.
Anderson: Cannot see why the PUD should be in the land business unless they have
a specific use for the land. In favor of declaring land surplus.
Stone: In favor of advertising for bids on this land.
Loehr: Want to sell it at $2,100 acre as the least acceptable bid.
Doyle: In favor of declaring the land surplus.
President Doyle read Resolution 7109, a copy of which is part of these minutes.
Discussion ensued as to whether or not the Lakeworld Access Road Easement was
included in the land description to be advertised in the bid. It was determined
that Lakeworld has not recorded this road easement as yet. Mr. Cattan said he
would check into this matter with the county. Dan Cook will prepare the final
legal description including the Lakeworld road easement. After polling each
member, a minimum price of $250,000 was agreed upon. Mr. Stone felt a budget should
be drawn up to allocate the funds from the sale of this land. Mr. Cattan said this
money could be used to pay Sierra Pacific. Mr. Loehr suggested putting this money
into a sinking fund for water projects. Mr. Moore stated the old water system in
town needs replacing. Mr. Doyle stated that should this sale of land be consin-
mated, the funds from this sale will be used for further improvement within the
District. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Moore and seconded by
Mr. Anderson that Resolution 7109 declaring this 120 acre parcel of land in
Section 9 surplus to be put to bid, be adopted.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
Motion carried. So ordered.
BIDS FOR POLES, NOTICE TO BIDDERS
The Notice to Bidders regarding poles has been published in the paper and mailed ...�
to prospective bidders for opening on April 20, 1971.
RESOLUTION 7110, RESOLUTION OF ACCEPTANCE OF EASEMENT FROM THE JOERGERS
The standard Resolution of Acceptance was read by Mr. Cattan. After brief discus-
sion, a motion was made by Mr. Moore and seconded by Mr. Loehr that the District
adopt Resolution 7110 accepting the Joerger easements.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
Motion carried. So ordered. Resolution 7110 is part of these minutes.
April 6, 1971 Page 34
April 6, 1971 - Continued
MANAGER'S REPORT
1. The District has obtained an easement from Oscar Shumacher, and our crew will
install the pipe. It was noted the District saves 30 o when we do the work
ourselves.
2. Brien Walters is again asking for the $493 interest to be paid on his water
proposal contract. The interest was discussed at various times by the Board,
but it was not included in the final contract. Mr. Loehr is in favor of paying
the interest and settling the matter once and for all. Most of the Board
members agreed, but it was decided to check with legal counsel on this matter
first. $500 payments were agreed upon after the contract was signed.
Mr. Cattan suggested a compromise, perhaps paying half of what Mr. Walter's
claims is the interest.
3. The airport has requested underground service for approach lights on the south
side of the runway. They will pay the cost of $15,000 for this installation.
4. Donner State Park has also requested an underground installation at a cost of
$26,000 which they will assume. Mr. Cattan stated our crews are free now to
perform this work.
S. The District has been approached by Mr. William Warmkessel who wishes to
purchase 3 acres on Brockway Road with 175' frontage for a dental clinic and
donation to a church. Upon polling the board members, it was agreed not to
sell these three acres because it is part of a much larger parcel the District
should dispose of as a whole. The Board suggested a 5.2 acre site across the
road Mr. Warmkessel might wish to purchase.
6. The Division of Industrial Safety has requested that the Gateway Motel sign
be moved approximately 6' from our power line. Mrs. Roxie Archie does not
wish to move her sign but wants the District to move their pole, as she
claims her sign was in existence before the pole line. Since it would be
less costly to move the sign rather than the main line which is a very diffi-
cult job, Mr. Cattan will ask Dick Joseph, owner of the sign, if the District
may move their sign at our expense.
No further discussion, the regular meeting was recessed at 10:18 P.M. to be
re convened in Exe cut ive Session.

APRIL 20, 1971
The regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public
Utility District was called to order by President Pro Tem Robert Moore at 7:30
P.M. in the conference room.
ROLL CALL: Moore, present; Anderson, present; Stone, present; Loehr, present;
Doyle, absent.
EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Cattan, Paulus, Bliss.
GUESTS PRESENT: None.
No errors, omissions or corrections, the minutes of April 4, 1971 were approved
as written.
KNLT
This new stereo station in Truckee has solicited this District for advertising
on its station. They will advertise the District for 15 minutes, 6 days a week
for $37.50. Mr. Paulus mentioned our current budget allows $100 for advertising
and we are presently paying KTRT $45/month. Mr. Moore mentioned that perhaps we
should be advertising more in the newspaper and that our advertising budget may
be cut because of union negotiations. The directors agreed that the District
should patronize both local radio stations. After brief discussion, a motion was
'i made by Mr. Stone and seconded by Mr. Loehr that the District engage KNLT for 3
months for advertising.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye* Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Moore, aye. (Doyle: absent)
Motion carried. So ordered.
SYLVANIA
Sylvania wishes to lease district land by the South Side Well for testing from
May through August, 1971, or perhaps negotiate for a 12-month lease. They leased
land from us in 1965-66 for $200/month with a $250 cleanup charge. A concrete
slab constructed during their first lease still remains on this land. Mr. Paulus
mentioned this land may soon be declared surplus, but it was generally agreed
that this probably would not be final before the end of their lease in August.
The District is in the process of having the land appraised. Mr. Loehr suggested
a cancellation clause in the lease in case the District found a ready buyer.
Mr. Cattan mentioned we have a preliminary survey on the land surrounding the
South Side property and that Dan Cook has been asked for an accurate survey,
leaving 100' south of the well for the District. Mr. Stone suggested that no
septic tanks be allowed up to 50' of the property line. No further discussion,
a motion was made by Mr. Stone and seconded by Mr. Anderson that the District
lease the property b the South Side Well to Sylvania for 4 months for $100/month
p p y y
i
with a $200 cleanup deposit.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Moore, aye. (Doyle: absent)
Motion carried. So ordered.
i
PAINTING OFFICE AND WAREHOUSE
The District office and warehouse are in need of paint, and three estimates have
been received as follows:
f P,em=
Jay Painting, Kings Beach: $1,448.00
R. L. Winters, Fresno: $1,350.00
Olympic Haus Painting, Tahoe City: $ 731.00
4
i
i
None of these companies will guarantee their results for us, but Olympic Haus
Painting felt the District should get 3 years wear from. their job. Stain rather
than paint was decided to be the best material. Mr. Moore suggested sandblasting
off the old paint, and Mr. Paulus will call Olympic Haus Painting to see what he
would charge for sandblasting before a contract is let.

APRIL 20, 1971 - CONTINUED
BOB SUTTON, HORSE CORRAL
Mr. Bob Sutton has requested official approval of the District land on which he
has been keeping horses during the summer for the past several years. Discus-
sion ensued regarding the fact that this land may be used for a road or alley
easement and that the District has a $776.6 8 sewer assessment plus penalty on
this land.
(Mr. Paul Doyle arrived at 8:0 3 P.M.)
Mr. Stone suggested the adjacent property owners or Mr. Sutton purchase the land.
After brief discussion, it was agreed that the District should not make this
land available for private use to Mr. Sutton since it will soon be declared
surplus.
RETIREMENT PROGRAM
Mr. Paulus mentioned that due to pending union negotiations, Mr. Kramer from the
National Rural Electrification Association in Spokane should postpone his trip
to Truckee to discuss a retirement program. Mr. Loehr said he is in favor of a
state program rather than one with an insurance company. Mr. Stone and Mr. Moore
also felt we should affiliate with a state or county. Mr. Paulus will call
Mr. Kramer informing him that the District is tmab le to discuss his program at
this time.
(President Doyle will chair the meeting at this time.)
BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
Mr. Paulus mentioned that a second appraisal has been received from Noble Murray,
Carson City, on the 120 acres adjacent to Lakeworld at $205,000 or $1800/acre.
After brief discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Moore
that the bills be paid as listed, a copy of which is part of these minutes. -�
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle., aye.
Motion carried. So ordered.
BONDS FROM DART INDUSTRIES
As required, bonds from Dart Industries (for Lakeworld) have been received for:
$280,000 Off-Site Water Initial Water Supply (includes facility at
lake, 14" and 18" pipelines) . Bond in -
District's name only.
$464,000 On-Site Water Unit 1. Roads to be dedicated to county.
Bond in county's and district's names.
$ 50,000 Power lines. Main distribution line, Unit 1.
Mr. Cattan mentioned that Lakeworld is fully bonded for Unit 1, but still has to
pay $40/lot for water and $3S/lot for electricity. Regarding the name change
from Tahoe Northwoods to Tahoe Donner, Mr. Paul Chamberlain felt this name change
would not affect our present agreements with Lakeworld since the agreements refer
to geographical locations. A diagram was drawn on the blackboard depicting 4.2
miles of distribution power line from Donner Trail Subdivision to the proposed
ski tow in Tahoe Donner Subdivision. Lakeworld has been unable to engage a
contractor to construct this line for a reasonable sun and has requested the
District to build this line as we would like for the flat sun of $50,000. The _
entire length of this main line is 5.5 miles rather than 7, and the 1.3 miles
of additional line would be constructed in 2-3 years. As soon as the road is
built this summer, the District could begin work. Mr. Cattan estimated $40,000
to build this line 4.2 miles long, requiring the help of a retired Sierra Pacific
superintendent for 3 months on this line (mapping, staking, undergrounding, etc.)
Mr. Moore and Mr. Stone felt Lakeworld would want some sort of assurance that
the District could construct this line in so many construction days. Mr. Stone
mentioned that the area is heavily timbered, but it was noted that right of way
for the pole line would be cleared at the same time as that for the road.
Mr. Cattan mentioned that shorter cross arms will be used in this construction.
No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Anderson and seconded by Mr.
Loehr that the District accept the proposal from Dart as outlined in their
April 20, 1971 P Ye 42
APRIL 20, 1971 - CONTINUED
BONDS FROM DART (CONTINUED)
letter of April 19, 1971 (a copy of which is part of these minutes) to construct
4.2 miles of main line in the Tahoe Donner Subdivision.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
Motion carried. So ordered.
WATER FROM DONNER LAKE
The Fish and Game Department is still objecting to water being taken from Donner
Lake. Attorney Martin McDonough will attempt to reach an agreement in writing
with them for the District. Mr. Kienlen from Murray, Burns and Kienlen will
personally visit the Fish and Game Department to answer their questions. The
Sierra Pacific agreement in this respect will allow the District to take 1,000
acre feet for 6 months (July- through December) and will sell water to the District
during January to June. It was noted there are no expiration dates in the con-
tract and that it is predicated on Stampede. Mr. McDonough will meet with the
Sierra Pacific legal advisor.
SURPLUS LAND, 120 ACRES
As required, the state, county and local parks and recreation districts have been
f notified of the pending sale of this land adjacent to Lakeworld, and Dr. Tapia
has unofficially informed the District that these agencies are not interested in
purchasing this parcel. Mr. DoNrle felt we should ask the Truckee Donner Recrea-
tion District to develop the 2.4 acres behind the District Office since it has
been some 4 years since the District leased the land to the recreation district
for $1. It was agreed that the land is an eyesore and unsanitary conditions exist,
that the Sanitary District relocated the sewer line at some $1,200 expense because
the Recreation District said they were going to build a swimming pool there. It
was generally agreed that just the planting of grass and trees with swings, slides,
etc. would be advisable. After brief discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Moore
and seconded by Mr. Loehr that the District draft an appropriate letter to the
jRecreation District asking for the maintenance of the land they acquired from us
behind the District Office. All ayes.
TAXING UTILITIES - P G & E ANNUAL REPORT
Mr. Norman Woodbury, Executive Director of CMUA, referred Page 9 of the P G & E
Annual Report to this District stating that legislation is being presented to tax
districts. It was unanimously agreed that this proposed legislation should be
watched closely.
BRIEN WALTERS INTEREST
A current statement from Mr. Walters has been received by the District. Since
Mr. Walters has not cashed the $1,579.59 check previously issued to him and it
is now void, and since it was agreed that the District should settle the matter
of the $49 3 interest out of court as advised by legal counsel, a check for $2,0 7 3.4 7
will be sent to Mr. Walters endorsed as final payment for his services to this
I District. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by
Mr. Stone .that the District forward this final check..to Mr. Walters to settle this
controversy.
i
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, nay.
Motion carried. So ordered.
It was noted for the-record that the District wished to conclude this matter of
unfinished .business from the past, that the bill may not be justified .but in the
interest of the public, we are paying this bill.
CROSSING WATER LINE BY BRIDGE STREET (SM MACHER)
Mr. Cattan mentioned the State will be resurfacing Highway 267 by the bridge this
summer, and it is necessary that the District dig now and lay their new pipe now.
Mr. Schumacher has signed the necessary easement for the District but wants the
District to move a 4" pipe on his property. Mr. Cattan assured Mr. Schumacher
that when we locate this pipe, we will remove it. Mr. Jim Smith has been engaged
to do the digging, and the trench was completed in 3 1/2 hours. When this pipe is
APRIL 20, 1971
Page 43
APRIL 20, 19 71 - CONTINUED
CROSSING WATER LINE BY BRIDGE STREET - SCHUMACHER (CONTINUED)
laid, the District will proceed with the Tonini Tank. Mr. Cattan is requesting
approval of laying a 6" pipe in a 10" culvert either under the bridge or road.
The Board agreed on the 6" rather than 4" and Mr. Cattan will confer with the
State Highway Dept.
GATEWAY MOTEL SIGN
--on►
This matter was discussed at the last meeting, -and Mrs. Roxie Archie will not
move her sign or let us move it for he-r. Discussion ensued, and it was agreed
that the District should not have to move its pole line, that the Gateway Motel
is encroaching on the right-of-way of a public utilities line. She may apply
for an encroachment permit, but it will probably be denied, and she will have
to move her sign to comply with the state industrial safety code. This matter
was tabled at this time.
(Mr. Anderson was excused at 9:35 P.M.)
POLE BIDS
The bids were opened and read as listed in the attached Bid Summary. Mr. Stone
mentioned that the black poles blend in well with the environment. After brief
discussion, Mr. Moore moved and Mr. Loehr seconded that the bid be awarded to the
lowest bidder based upon review and truckload price. (It was noted that 25-30
poles was all a truck could carry in one load.) Further discussion ensued as to
whether a better price could be obtained by ordering two truckloads, but this
would necessitate changing the specifications. Mr. Moore withdrew his previous
motion and Mr. Loehr his second. Based upon a decision of the Chair and Manager,
bids will be resubmitted with new specifications for further consideration. No
action by the Board at this time on bids submitted for opening tonight.
DISTRICT VS. PONDEROSA PALISADES (BEAVERS)
Mr. Moore inquired as to the status of the water storage tank litigation. Mr.
Cattan said Mr. Moul is taking former Manager-Longo's deposition now. It was '
also noted that the District has heard nothing further regarding the Sha-Neva
easement.
Mr. Doyle again mentioned that the Recreation District has not lived up to their
promise to develop the area behind the Office Building into a recreational area,
that this area should be considered before the west end of Donner Lake. He
reiterated that a local contractor stated previously that he would put in a
tennis court at his expense if the Recreation District developed this land. Now
it is estimated that it would take some $14,000 to build this tennis court, but
this figure seems unrealistic in Mr. Doyle's opinion.
PROPOSED UNION CHANGE, SOo OFF OF EMPLOYEE'S UTILITY BILLS
A survey by the office revealed that Portola gives their employees a SO% discount
on their utility bills, but this agency is considered a co-op and can legally do
this as well as Sierra Pacific which is a private company. SMUD and Roseville
do not give their employees a discount on their utility bills. After discussion,
it was agreed this District cannot legally give consideration to allowing a 50 0
discount on the employee utility bills, just as the county and federal govern-
ments cannot legally give public funds to anyone.
GOLF COURSE
Mr. Moore inquired why we allow the golf course surplus water at no charge. Mr.
Cattan stated this was a condition of the sale of the contract. Mr. Stone
asked what would happen when development occurs and there is no surplus water?
Mr. Moore mentioned that during a dry season years ago, the District pumped
water from the river to the golf course. Mr. Cattan explained that if the
District has no surplus water, the golf course will have to purchase water. It
was noted there is no pipe line or metering for this golf course irrigation.

APRIL 202 1971 - CONTINUED
LAKEWORLD ROAD EASEMENT
Mr. Stone asked if the Lakeworld road easement has been recorded now that the
land through which it goes is being declared surplus. Mr. Cattan explained the
easement was originally given to the county but they will not record it until
the road is finished so the easement will be left in Lakeworld's name so that
it may be recorded and the land can be sold.
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone
that the meeting be adjourned. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at 10:27 P.M.

The meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility
District was called to order by President Doyle at 7:30 P.M. in the conference
room.
ROLL CALL: Moore, present; Anderson, present; Stone, present; Loehr, present;
Doyle, present.
No errors, omissions or corrections, the minutes of April 20, 1971 were approved
as written.
BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
The bill for Tom's Equipment Rental in Sacramento was for a truck for hauling
sand. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Stone and seconded by
Mr. Moore that the bills be paid as listed, a copy of which is part of these
minutes.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
SUBMERSIBLE PUMP BID
The notice having been duly published, the bids were opened as listed on the
attached Bid Summary. Mr. Cattan recommends the acceptance of the Johnston Pump
bid because we have done business with them in the past and they are very coopera-
tive when we call upon them in the event of pump failure. Mr. Cattan recommends
rejecting the Record Supply bid because of imcomplete specifications, description
of motor size, pump and provision of cable; and method of cleaning is not satis-
factory. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Stone and seconded by
Mr. Moore that the District accept the Johnston Pump bid for the Donner Creek
Well on the recommendation of the Manager.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
POLE BIDS
The pole bids were opened at the April 6, 1971 meeting and taken under advisement.
After review of all bids, it is the recommendation of the Manager at this time
that the bid award be made to L. D. McFarland Co, being the lowest bidder. No
further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone that
the pole bid be awarded to L. D. McFarland Co.
ROLL CALL: Moore aye; Anderson, aye; Loehr, aye; Stone, aye; Doyle, aye.
PAT SHANE, EASBIENT MATTER
The recent letters from Mr. Shane's Attorney Wallace Stevens, from Francis Longo
and from Ed Aweeka were presented to the Board. Since this is a matter between
attorneys, Paul Chamberlain will write Attorney Stevens. Mr. Doyle felt
Mr. Longo's letter was indeed slanderous to the District. Mr. Moore felt the
matter is still closed until such time that new substantial evidence is intro-
duced. Mr. Doyle stated that certainly there would be a record if such a promise
for an_-easement was made. Mr. Moore suggested contacting the recreation board to
see if they remembered anything pertaining to this easement. Mr. Loehr felt this
easement might have been discussed in the field with Messrs. Longo and Aweeka and
not before the Board. Discussion ensued as to the extent of the authority of the
Manager in relation to Board decisions. It was generally agreed that the Manager
cannot act officially for the Board. Mr. Cattan felt that if the Shane Brothers
had a valid agreement in 1965, they would not be approaching the District again
for an easement. Mr. Anderson inquired as to why wasn't the matter of the road
discussed by Shane at the time the road was obliterated by the recreation district?
No action on this matter at this time pending communications between attorneys.
RESOLUTION 7112, TOMBOLINI EASEMENT
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Tombolini have signed the Quit claim deed for the 10' X 15'
garcel on Lot 21, Ponderosa Palisades, for o t�r bolster p Be�ore this deed can
e recorded it is nece* a that-a,=xe"elutie�n e '_acc to ee be- yet==b}�. e &a�,rd.
The District-will install a SO' underground derg round service. to the Tombolini house in
exchange for this booster pump parcel. A motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded
by Mr. Anderson that Resolution 7112 accepting the Tombolini easement be adopted.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.

MAY 41 1971 - CONTINUED
POWER SUPPLY TO NEW SUBDIVISIONS
Mr. Cattan feels the District should have a policy for new subdivisions whereby
the developer installs the power lines just as they do the water lines and will
prepare a draft of a resolution to that effect if the Board wishes. Mr. Cattan
cited the example of Sierra Pacific requiring that Glenshire (now Innisfree)
pay for the lines. This new resolution would encompass the area to the subdivi-
sion and within the subdivision. Mr. Loehr inquired as to the policy of Sierra ..�
Pacific on payback through usage or percentage on us age. It was agreed that
this would be a highly complicated matter to undertake. The Board directed the
Manager to prepare a draft of a resolution for presentation at a later date.
TAHOE DONNER SUBDIVISION, LETTER OF CREDIT
A sample letter of credit to be used instead of a bond which was submitted by
Dart Industries was referred to legal counsel for approval, and Paul Chamberlain
finds it acceptable as does the County. This letter of credit would cover the
water lines and ro ads. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Stone
and seconded by Mr. Moore that the letter of credit for Tahoe Donner Subdivision
for future units be accepted.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, abstain; Doyle, aye.
TAHOE DONNER SUBDIVISION, POWER LINES
As agreed, the District will build the power line for this subdivision utilizing
120 - 45' poles. Since the telephone company wishes to utilize this line for
their service, Mr. Henry from the S. Lake Tahoe Office is agreeing to install
half the pole line to our specifications, and the District will install the other
half.
MANAGER'S REPORT
PONDEROSA PALISADES TANK: It has been six weeks and Dan Cook has not submitted
the specifications for e tank as requested. Since all the Directors agree
this is a matter that cannot be delayed, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and
seconded by Mr. Stone that a letter be directed to Dan Cook requesting immed-
iate action regarding the Ponderosa Palisades (as well as the 2nd Tonini) tank
with specifications to be in the District Office by May 18, 1971 and that a
phone call to this effect be made to Dan Cook by the Manager tomorrow. All ayes.
GS-2 WATER SERVICE RATE: Mr. Paulus believes the existing Resolution 7101
should be amended to include mobile home parks and individual units served by a
single meter service, that our method of billing for water service should be
consistent. Mr. Moore suggested determining the number of consumers for a
single water service by the number of electric services. Mr. Paulus will make
a telephone survey as to how other utility companies handle this problem.
UNION AGREEMENT: Sierra Pacific still hasn't settled with the union but may
by this Friday.
SANDBLASTING OFFICE BUILDING: Since the painter previously contacted has not
quoted us a cost on sandblasting, the District will contact other companies
for s andb 1 as t ing.
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone
that the meeting be adjourned. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at 9:13 P.M.

The regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility
District was called to order by President Doyle at 7:30 P.M. in the conference room.
ROLL CALL: Moore, present; Anderson, absent; Stone, present; Loehr, present;
Doyle, present.
GUESTS PRESENT: Dr. Tapia
EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Cattan, Paulus, Bliss.
No errors, omissions or corrections, the minutes of May 4, 1971 were approved as
written.
BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
The expense for Mr. Cattan was for a P G & E meeting in San Francisco to discuss
the new style pole line, which will mean- quite a savings for utility companies.
No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone
that the bills be paid as listed, a copy of which is part of these minutes.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So ordered.
PONDEROSA PALISADES TANK, APPROVAL FOR BIDDING
The contract documents from Dan Cook arrived last Friday, the specifications this
afternoon, but not the cost estimate. Mr. Cattan mentioned the Sierra Meadows
F tank has been put to bid by Murray McCormick, and the fact that tank companies
can bid on two tanks in the same location has prompted many calls to the District
Office. The original estimated cost for the Ponderosa tank is $25,000, the booster
$7,500. Mr. Dan Cook will be present at the bid opening on June 1S, 1971. No
further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Moore that
the Ponderosa Palisades tank and booster pump be put to bid and the required notice
published.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So ordered.
(The plans were signed by each director.)
RESOLUTION 7113, DONNER MEMORIAL PARK, UNDERGROUND SERVICE AGREEMENT
The necessary contract for this installation costing $26,000 has been presented,
is in order and was read by President Doyle. As agreed, the first bill of $10,S10
will be mailed with the the signed contracts to the State of California, Depart-
ment of Parks and Recreation. The balance will be paid upon completion. The
underground cable was ordered two weeks ago, and construction will be this summer.
No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Moore and seconded by Mr. Loehr
that the District adopt Resolution 7113, Authorizing the President and Manager to
sign the Service Agreement between the Parks and Recreation Department, State of
California, and the District for the Underground Service, Donner Memorial Park.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So ordered.
DEPOSITION OF FRANCIS LONGO, MR. MARTIN MC pONOUGH'S LETTER
The letter of May 12, 1971, a copy of which is part of these minutes, was read by
President Doyle. Mr. Doyle felt many of the statements in the letter were suppo-
sitions by someone and not promised by the District, that previous communications
from Mr. Longo indicate falsifications on the part of the Board, but testimony
-- will bear this out. Mr. Loehr felt we would have to deal with a period prior to
now, that one cannot legislate retroactively. Mr. Moore felt that changes after
the date of the Be ave r's contract are subject to the subdivider. Mr. Doyle
reiterated that private or public agreements would be a matter of record, and
there is no record, that the District must e s t ab 1 i sh the intent at the time the
contract was signed. Mr. Stone questioned why were all the power installations
in Ponderosa Palisades made for free? Mr. Doyle stated all the truth will be
brought out in court.

DISTRICT PROPERTY ADJACENT TO RECREATION DISTRICT
To help resolve the controversy regarding the Shane easement, Mr. Cattan suggested
exchanging the 2.3 acres north of the District Office for the 4.5 acres adjoining
the Recreation District park with the stipulation that they allow Shane to build
his access road where dictated by the Recreation District. It was mentioned that
the Horsemen's Association has- an interest in this road and that the road will be
built to county specifications. No suit by Shane has been filed against the
District at this time. Mr. Moore inquired what the District would do with the
land behind the office if this exchange were made? Mr. Cattan replied we would
begin by filling it with dirt as it is made available. Mr. Doyle stated he sees
no reason why the wishes of the people in the area should not be considered first,
that the Meadow Park area should be used for recreation as originally intended.
The land on the shortcut is valued at $850/acre and is marshy and difficult to
build on. Mr. Doyle felt the land on the shortcut would be worth more in the
future than the land behind the office. Mr. Loehr felt the land behind the
office, the rental house and the commercial corner next to the office should all
be put to bid at the same time. Mr. Stone felt the Shane Brothers were offered
this land on the shortcut at a fair price, that it is more valuable to the Recrea-
tion District than anyone else and this exchange would give the Recreation District
the chance to put the road where it would do the least damage. Mr. Cattan
mentioned that Shane requested the District 4 or 5 years ago to put the land on
the shortcut to bid. Mr. Moore thought this land would enhance the view to the
little lake by creating more open sp ace. Mr. Stone suggested that in the future
we ask another district to post a bond for performance within a given number of
years when a lease is entered into. ( Discussion ensued regarding two other
parcels belonging to the District in this area.) Mr. Moore felt we should con-
sider a trade because it looks like the Recreation District isn't going to develop
the land behind the office. Mr. Paulus stated there was a verbal communication
with the Recreation District regarding the improvement of the land behind the
office. Mr. Moore felt the parcel in Meadow Park should be retained for the
Recreation District, that land is difficult to obtain for recreation. It was
agreed the Utility District could legally develop the land behind the office for
recreation, but Mr. Doyle Questioned that we should compete with another local
district. Mr. Moore stated the District developed the golf course and subsequently
sold it and now that recreation is not public. Mr. Moore felt the District should
exchange the Hilltop land for the 120 acres adjacent to Lakeworld to carry through
with the initial recreation plans. Mr. Loehr felt we should get the land behind
the office back into the District's hands. Mr. Paulus stated that according to
the Recreation District lease, they must develop the land, but there are no plans
at present, but they would like to see tennis courts there. Mr. Moore reiterated
that if we trade, we should retain the land behind the office for recreation.
Mr. Doyle felt the Recreation District should retain this land and should develop
it. Mr. Cattan felt we should trade, improve the area with fill as it becomes
available and plant trees. Mr. Moore would like to know the Recreation District's
plans for the Meadow Park site before he would vote on the matter. Mr. Paulus
mentioned that whenever we sell land, the Recreation District has the first
option to buy. If we trade now and they want it back in perhaps 5 years, they
will still have the first option. Mr. Doyle directed Mr. Paulus to convey our
feelings to the Recreation District; namely, that the District will probably take
the property back and improve it ourselves in trade for the property on the short-
cut. Mr. Stone suggested holding the property and dedicating it to the Recreation
District. This matter was tabled for discussion at the next meeting.
(Mr. Doyle left the meeting at 9:15 P.M. and will return later.' Vice President Moore
will preside.)
LAKEWORLD PROPOSED PAYMENT FOR TAHOE DONNER LINE
Mr. Cattan mentioned that we have a bond for the second unit. The $50,000 for
the power line in Unit 1 will be paid for as follows:
$25,000 - when the District is ready to order material
$10,000 - August 1, 1971
$1S,000 - September 30, 1971
50,000
The District will retain the $50,000 bond until completion of construction.

May 18, 1971 - Continued
ACCESS ROAD TO SUBSTATION
This road is on county property, and they now object to our cutting 3 small
trees. Mr. Moore felt the District should have submitted plans to the county
as does a subdivider. The District now has the promise of approval for the
easement, and we will provide the county with a map. Cranmer Engineering will
provide the District with the manpower to do the mapping, and they will deliver
the map to the county.
RESOLUTION 71143, REA CERTIFICATION OF AUTHORITY
The REA Auditor Mr. Brown recommends that the District rescind the outdated
Certificate of Authority signed in 1963 and institute an updated Certification
of Authority in the event the District wishes to borrow from REA. No further
discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone that the
District adopt Resolution 7114, rescinding the 1963 Certification of Authority
and authorizing signature of the President and Manager on the new Certification
of Authority effective this date.
ROLL CALL: Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Moore, aye, (Doyle, excused; Anderson, absent.)
MANAGER'S REPORT
1. BRIDGE CROSSING, HWY 26 7: The crew made half the road crossing this morning
with e new 611 water line. Work progressed satisfactorily, and the pipe is
in 12" conduit. The other half of the highway will be cut Thurs day.
2. 10" PIPELINE, HWY 89/FREEWAY: Mr. Silver, State Highway Department, visited
the District today to discuss the 10" pipeline on 89 near the freeway. He
will probably allow us to cut the road rather than drill, and no difficulty
is anticipated. He instructed the District to submit our plans to Mr. Carroll
of the State Highway Department here in Truckee. We will cross the bridge on
the west side, and the pipe on the bridge will be protected by a 4" X 12" U
channel. The original estimate for this construction was $12,000 but did not
include the 710' of concrete costing $1,000 or more.
(Mr. Doyle returned to the meeting at 9:45 P.M. Mr. Moore will continue to preside.)
3. UNION: The union representative visited the District yesterday, and we will
probably bargain at the next meeting. Sierra Pacific hasn't settled yet.
4. GS-2 WATER RATE: The office has requested information from Sierra Pacific as
to their water rates for trailer parks.
S. SUNNIER HELP: Mr. Paulus mentioned that the District will require additional
personnel this summer, probably from the high school. Dr. Tapia has applica-
tions he will refer to us.
6. MARTIS VALLEY DAM: The District has nearly completed the Martis Valley power
service for the operation of the gates.
i
7. PAINTING OFFICE AND WAREHOUSE: Another estimate from Reno has been obtained.
More bids will be obtained on the Warehouse. A combination stain and paint
i
will be used, and most of the painters felt sandblasting would damage the wood.
i
8. DR. WILLIAM WARMKESSEL: Dr. Warmkessel is not interested in any of our surplus
land at this time.
9. SOUTHSIDE WELL SURVEY: Dan Cook still has not made this survey as requested
4 weeks ago.
At this time, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr to adj ourn.
Mr. Doyle inquired if the meter reading schedule had been advanced. Mr. Paulus
replied, yes, that the District got behind in the winter.
Mr. Stone seconded the motion to adjourn. No further business, the meeti
adjourned at 10:0 5 P.M.

JUNE 1, 19 71
The regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility
District was called to order by Acting Chairman Henry Loehr at 7:30 P.M. in the
conference room of the District.
ROLL CALL: Moore, absent; Anderson, present; Stone, present; Loehr, present;
Doyle, absent.
EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Cattan, Paulus, Bliss.
GUESTS PRESENT: None.
No errors, omissions or corrections, the minutes of May 18, 1971 were approved as
written.
i
BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
i
Quotations were obtained on the gate valves. Underground cable for the airport
and park was ordered. Overtime was necessitated by the fact that it was less
expensive for the District to have the men complete the jobs the same day rather
than have them return the next day. No further discussion, a motion was made by
Mr. Anderson and seconded by Mr. Stone that the bills be paid as listed, a copy
of which is part of these minutes.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye. So ordered.
UNION BARGAINING
This matter has been postponed because not all the board members are present. The
union will supply the District will a summary of their demands.
i
SIERRA MEADOWS TANK
The bids were opened at 11:00 AM today by Nevada County. A low bid of $59,820
�--k from McKnight Construction Company was submitted. The assessment fund allows
$5 3,50 4 for this tank, and the county is considering using a portion of their
contingency find to make up the $6,316 difference. The engineer's estimate for
this tank was $48,000. This tank must be constructed this year, and the District
could meet any shortage of finds from the county. Mr. Loehr said the county will
probably pay for inspection of this tank.
RESOLUTION 7115, POWER LINES IN SUBDIVISIONS
i
This resolution has been revised, a copy of which is attached. Action will be
deferred until a full board is present. Mr. Cattan mentioned that George Gardai
j has submitted a preliminary plan of the Beacon Hill Vista Subdivision using
cluster development, making electric distribution lines long. Mr. Loehr felt
the cluster development was utilized to satisfy the Planning Commission and inquired
what system do other utility companies provide on a payback. Mr. Cattan replied
there is no line that is producing a profit. Mr. Loehr said he was thinking about
the future. Mr. Stone mentioned his line to his home was producing a profit because
he paid $700 for an extens ion. Mr. Cattan referred to a survey he made three years
ago, comparing the amount of material used vs. the number of consumers, indicating
that the revenue only pays for maintenance and not toward capital expenditure, that
most consumers use gas. It was mentioned that 12,000 lots in our district have not
been developed. Mr. Anderson stated he agreed with the principle of this resolution.
No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Stone and seconded by Mr. Anderson
that Resolution 7115 be tabled until the next regular or special meeting and that
�.: the Manager be instructed to deny approval of any new subdivision plan until after
this meeting. All ayes.
PAINT ESTIMATES - OFFICE & WAREHOUSE
Three estimates have been submitted: Lindell., $2,432; Jay, $2,650; Olympic Haus,
$2,706. There were no formal specs for these estimates, but the office would have
a primer plus two coats, the warehouse a primer and one coat of acrylic masonry
paint. It was felt the District could afford to paint these buildings at this
time since we are not using any money for extensions. A motion was made by Mr.
Stone to award the contract to the lowest bidder. An alternative would be for the
District to provide the paint and hire help by the hour to perform the work.
Mr. Stone withdrew his original motion and moved that the Manager proceed with the
accomplishment of getting the office and warehouse painted at his discretion in an
amount not to exceed $2,432. Mr. Anderson seconded the amended motion.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye. So ordered.

June 1, 19 71 Pale 57
(JUKE 1, 1971 - CONTINUED)
MANAGER'S REPORT
1. DONNER LAKE SUBSTATION: The access road is being leveled, and only 3 trees
were cut. The entrance will be blacktopped and have a gate.
2. BRIDGE BY BROCKWAY SHORTCUT: Scheduled work so far has been completed to the
top of the ill, The pipe will hang on the bridge, and we are waiting for
drawings from'Dan Cook on the Tonini tank. Mr. Stone suggested seeding the
hillside after construction.
3. HALF MILE EXTENSION, SOUTH SIDE OF LAKE: This line dead ends at Donner
Memorial Park and will be extended on Donner Reed Avenue (6 poles) . All our
power lines will now be accessible in the winter.
4. SMALL UTILITIES: Mr. Cattan read an article from the Sacramento Bee stating
that a recent court decision in Florida strengthened the position of small
utilities in that they should not have to pay extra fees to large utilities
in power exchanges.
S. UNION: Mr. Paulus mentioned that Sierra Pacific settled for 7 1/2 0, but the
union members have to ratify. Our men want 8 1/2 o because they claim we do
not have as many benefits as Sierra Pacific. Discussion ensued regarding
various retirement plans.
6. SAFETY: The Water Works Association has presented this District with an
Away of Merit to the Manager and employees for an excellent safety record.
7. DR. WILLIAM WARMCESSEL: Dr. Warmkessel has been discussing the possibility
of pur as ing a triangular piece of district property on the shortcut. He
now may be able to obtain an adjacent parcel from another owner, combining
the two for his proposed dental office complex, etc. Dr. Warmkessel's letter
in which he offers $5,00 3 for our .045 acre of land was read. This offer is less
than the appraisal, but most of the board members agreed the appraisal seemed
too high, perhaps because of the zoning and highway frontage. Mr. Cattan mentioned
that Dan Cook is surveying the land by the South Side well, and that perhaps this
matter should be deferred until this survey is completed. It was agreed that an
access road directly onto the highway could serve the triangular parcel Dr. Warm-
kessel is considering and the adjacent 4.5 acre parcel of district land. The
District will take Dr. Warmkessel's offer under advisement pending survey results.
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Anderson and seconded by Mr. Stone
that the meeting be adjourned. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at 9:04 P.M.

The special meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility
District was called to order by President Doyle at 3:00 P.M. in the conference
room of the District.
ROLL CALL: Moore, present; Anderson, present; Stone, present; Loehr, absent;

EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Cattan, Paulus, Grow, Bliss, Archer, Silva, Straub, Pine.
UNION NEGOTIATIONS
Standb : The union is requesting that standby be broken down by so many hours
per day. Standby was defined as a man having to stay home or be available so
that he can be reached by telephone from Friday evening to Monday morning. The
union is asking for one more hour. Mr. Stone mentioned that the Forest Service
has eliminated standby and initiated staggered tours of duty, that the District
may have to institute this within a year or two. Mr. Doyle affirmed that the
union is asking for overtime in addition to standby, and Mr. Robinson stated
that other employers do this. Mr. Moore felt it wouldn't be any more expensive
for the District to have another mane to
i � ed. Mr. Grow mentioned that for 5 Y
years only two men have been on standby in the water department, requiring that
a man stay home 50 0 of his weekends. It was noted a man on standby now gets
daily overtime after 4 hours. Discussion ensued regarding the routine weekend
checking of the pumps, and it was decided this is not considered a call-out for
emergency situations. Mr. Cattan suggested clarifying this point in the new
contract. An emergency was defined as an unforeseen occurance and would not
j include routine duties. No further discussion, it was agreed to revise Standby
l
as follows:
(a) 4 hours pay per day for the employee who stands by from 5:00 P.M. Friday
to 8:00-'A.M. Monday;
(b) Overtime compensation for all emergency call-outs worked in addition to
standby pay.
Holidays: All agreed to revise the list of holidays to be those designated by
the California Government Code, whereby most of the holidays fall on a Monday.
Vacations: All agreed to the standard 15 days vacation after 5 years service and
that vacations could be split.
Safety: All agreed to the District providing all tools and specialized safety
devices necessary to perform an employee's assigned duties. It was noted that
safety shoes are not included in the California Safety laws. Management proposes
to allow a maxim m of four hours each month for safety meetings to be conducted
by an employee designated by management. This assignment would be rotated among
the outside employees. Management feels the employees are better qualified than
they are to prepare safety programs and would research subjects associated with
their everyday work. All agreed on this condition which would also stipulate
that preparation for safety meetings could be on District time.
Sick Leave: The union is requesting unlimited accumulation of sick leave; if an
employee is off due to an industrial injury, he would get 100 o pay while he was
off. All agreed.
Vacancies: Revision is being considered because the present meter reader may
want to transfer to another capacity in the future. . After dis cuss ion, it was
agreed that the word "fill (vacancies)" would be deleted and the word "apply
for (vacancies)" be inserted. Mr. Cattan mentioned that one has to be qualified
for the new position within the District.

JUNE l 1, 1971 - CONTINUED
UNION NEGOT IAT IONS (CONTINUED)
Customer Services Clerk: The union has proposed two additional pay steps for
this position to compare with Sierra Pacific's identical job classification.
This requested increase would be 45% plus the general wage increase. Mr. Moore
mentioned that this job had a 40% increase last year. Mr. Paulus thought that
if you have a five-step increase for one office worker, you would have to have
it for all office workers, that the present Customer Services Clerk has had a ..._,
24% increase since she started with the District. Mr. Cattan stated that in the
8 years he has been with the District, whoever did the billing had to be trained,
that she did not start with the District with this ability. There would be a
54/hr. difference between the two billing girls. The board members agreed that
the general wage increase would be sufficient for all the office workers, that
if additional wage steps were applied, they should be applied to all office
employees and not just one. The Board asks that this provision be deleted.
8.5% General Increase: This is 1% more than what Sierra Pacific settled for,
but the union claims the District does not have the benefits Sierra Pacific has.
Mr. Moore felt the 7 1/2% is above the cost of living and is sufficient.
President Doyle informed the union representatives that the District is investi-
gating retirement plans. Mr. Robinson stated that if this plan is not a fully
paid pension plan, the union members should have the opportunity to discuss this
plan and requested a meeting date. Mr. Doyle stated the District has not progressed
far enough in its research in this respect to set a date. Mr. Paulus mentioned
an employee would have to have three years with the District to qualify for the
plan, paying approximately 3% while the District paid 7 - 7.5%. This plan would
cost the District approximately $4,200/year, The Board offered 7.5% retroactive
to May 1.
Discharge: Management proposes to add this new section as follows:
The P.U.D. retains the right to discharge any employee for incompetence or other
serious cause. The reason for such discharge shall be given in writing within
forty-eight (48) hours of the time of such discharge.
1
Reason for discharge shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
(1) Failure to perform work in an efficient, workmanlike manner.
(2) Insubordination.
(3) Absent without authorization or just cause.
(4) Failure to cooperate willingly and cheerfully with supervisors and/or
fellow employees in matters pertaining to the P.U.D. Is operations.
(5) Insobriety.
(6) Dishonesty.
Foreman, Line Workin After discussion, it was agreed by all to delete the
second sentence regarding two years experience.
Lineman: 1971 Contract will be identical to 1970 Contract regarding this classi-
fication.
Inclement Weather: The union asked why this section was deleted in the 1970
contract and asked for its inclusion in the 1971 contract. Mr. Grow stated he
has been asked to work in the snow and rain recently on two occasions this spring.
Mr. Cattan stated on the one occasion, he asked the men to work overtime and
they agreed; if they felt the weather was bad, they wouldn't have accepted the
overtime. Mr. Doyle directed the union to prepare a section on "inclement weather"
for consideration at our next meeting. Mr. Moore mentioned that this District has
never had to send men home because of inclement weather. Mr. Stone felt the
District would not subject the men to inclement weather in which personal injury
might be sustained, that employees work in the shop on inside assignments during
bad weather.
The union will draw up these proposals and submit them to their members. Negotia-
tions will be concluded at the June 15 meeting.

RESOLUTION 7115, POWER LINES IN SUBDIVISIONS
This resolution was revised, a copy of which was read by President Doyle. All
board members present agreed that the entire cost of power distribution lines
should be borne by the developer, that a precedent in this respect was set with
Lakeworld. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Stone and seconded
by Mr. Anderson that Resolution 7115, Power Lines in Subdivisions, be adopted.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Doyle, aye. (Loehr: absent)
RESOLUTION 7116, AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION 6701
I The purpose of this resolution is to increase the electrical minimum on domestic
rates from $3 to $5 so that this minimum will be consistent with the $5 minimum
in effect now for services in new subdivisions. It was noted the $5 minimum for
all services was presented last fall, but the board increased the electrical
minimum to only $3 on domestic rates effective January 1, 1971. Mr. Doyle stated
he was against raising the minimum back to back. Mr. Moore felt there was no
reason why everybody should not be on the same electrical minimum, that the
resolution last fall must not have been presented properly. Mr. Cattan explained
the customers whose minimums were increased to $3 were those inherited from
Sierra Pacific, that the District has $700 invested per customer including
substation, transformers, etc. Mr. Moore suggested that copies of Resolution 6701
in its entirety with amendments be presented at the next meeting. Mr. Stone said
perhaps something is wrong in our extension rule, that individuals should pay
for their line. Mr. Cattan explained Resolution 7115 previously discussed is
intended for subdividers, not private individuals. It was agreed this new $5
minimum for all, when adopted, would preclude those customers whose monthly
minimum is in excess of $5 to pay for lines over 2001 . Chairman Doyle tabled
this resolution pending further study.
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Anderson and seconded by Mr. Stone
that the meeting be adjourned. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at 5:45 P.M.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board Members
FROM: George Cattan, Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution 7115, Power Lines in Subdivisions
As you are all aware from past experience, all subdivisions in the
Truckee area are of speculative nature. Homes built in 1970 were
the. 1 owe s t comp are d with previous years, and it appears that the
condition will repeat in 1971.
I wish to advise the Board that the revenue obtained just about
compensates for the maintenance of the power lines and can never
repay for the capital expenditure.
It would be advisable in the future to ask new developers to pay for
the distribution lines as we did with Lakeworld, bearing in mind that
the District has to treat everybody alike.
In addition, there is actually no difference between Electric and
Water. If the developer is installing the water lines, I do not see
any reason why the electric power lines should be exempt.
Actually, we do not have any policy for Subdivisions. What we have
been doing in the past is applying the extension rules, which is more
for private individuals.

a motion was made by Mr. Anderson and seconded by Mr. Loehr that the bills be paid
as listed, a copy of which is part of these minutes.
I ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Moore, aye. So ordered.
UNION NEGOTIATIONS
Mr. Bob Robinson, IBEW-Walnut Creek, was present and distributed copies of the
proposed changes as discussed at the June 11, 1971 meeting. The employees agreed
t
to these changes with the exception of Item 11 on Page 3. The union recommends to
the Board that they adopt the NRECA pension plan effective September 1, 19710
Mr. Moore said the Board hoped to put a plan into effect this summer, and Mr. Robinson
reiterated that the union members would like a commitment on a pension plan, that
Plumas Sierra has the NRECA plan. Mr. Stone stated he felt the District should
finalize their research on the plans considered so far and reach a decision.
` n passed law whey to would a� ! Mr. Paulus mentioned the state recently pa ed a a e the emp yee o d pay
30, the employer 7% of the employee's pay. Mr. Loehr suggested December 31, 1971
as the target date to set this plan into effect. Mr. Stone suggested the wording
"plan to be effective 1/l/7211. Mr. Robinson said the union would agree to 12/31/71
and would elect options, that a delay in the pension plan would shorten the benefits
the employees would receive. No further discussion regarding this pension plan, a
motion was made by Mr. Stone and seconded by Mr. Anderson that the District accept
Paragraph 11 whereby the District agrees to establish a pension plan before 12/31/71.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye- Moore, aye. So ordered.
Regarding Sick Leave, Item 5, Para. C. , Mr. Stone disagreed with the section
regarding sick leave on vacation. Mr. Robinson stated most employers state
"employees will not be required to take vacation in lieu of sick leave' and that
is why evidence from a doctor is required after 3 days in most cases. Since all the
changes have been agreed to by both union and management, Mr. Loehr moved that the
District accept the proposed revisions as agreed upon, to be drawn up by the union
for final submittal to the District for acceptance by the Board by Resolution at
the next regularly scheduled meeting. Mr. Stone seconded Mr. Loehr's motion.
j ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Moore, aye. So ordered.
Mr. Cattan requested copies of the final contract for perusal by the District at
least a week before the next board meeting. Mr. Robinson stated he expected to
have the final contract completed by the end of this week. Mr. Moore thanked
Mr. Robinson for his cooperation and prompt negotiations in this contract, that
it has been a pleasure dealing with him. Mr. Robinson thanked the Board for their
considerations.

PONDEROSA PALISADES TANK, BID OPENING
Mr. Dan Cook opened and read the bids as listed on the attached summary. The
District must accept the base bid and to this can add the alternates they choose.
Mr. Cook left the board room to check the extensions on the bids and will return
to the meeting to make his recommendation to the Board. (Mr. Anderson was
excused at 8:15 P.M. to attend another meeting.) Mr. Cattan mentioned that the
welded steel tank is better than the bolted tank, and the cost is $28,000 against
$37,600 for the Sierra Meadows Tank, both 250,000 gallons, that McKnight is ---,
building the Sierra Meadows tank. Our present two tanks at Prosser Heights and
U.S.F.S. are bolted tanks. Mr. Stone did not recommend paving the road, that
it would not be used that much. Mr. Cook returned to the conference room and
recommended that the bid award be made to McKnight Construction, that Alternate
A be accepted because the wall at the base of this tank is 3/4" thick rather
than 1/8" thick, in addition to Alternate B providing for aggregate about the
perimeter of the tank for maintenance and Alternate D, Base of aggregate on
peripheral and access road. This award would be contingent upon McKnight
providing the District with the proper insurance and bonds for this project.
No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr that the construction con-
tract for the Ponderosa Palisades Tank and Booster Station be awarded to McKnight
Construction in the amount of $47,060.50, including Additive Alternates for the
AWWA welded steel tank, aggregate on the peripheral and access roads. (Add. Alt.
A, B and D.) Mr. Stone seconded the mot ion.
ROLL CALL: Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Moore, aye. (Doyle & Anderson: absent.)
APPROVAL TO BID TONINI TANK
Mr. Cattan explained this bid will be for the tank only on a rock base, and the
District will prepare the site, thus affecting a great savings. Mr. Moore
inquired why the Tonini tank wasn't put to bid at the same time as the Ponderosa
tank? Mr. Cook explained that the Tonini tank was in snow and couldn't be sited
in time to advertise for bids. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr.
Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone that the 100,000 gallon Tonini tank be put to bid.
i
ROLL CALL: Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Moore, aye. So ordered. j
PENSION PLAN
Mr. Paulus asked the Board for permission to consult with NRECA and the State on
their respective pension plans, allowing each agency to compare their plan with
the other. The Board agreed.
MR. AND MRS. CHARLES BUNTON, LA SIESTA TRAILER COURT
Mr. Bunton claims he is losing customers because of the $7.SO connection fee,
that he is paying more now for electricity on individual meters than he was paying
when he paid for the entire court and motel. Mr. Bunton does not agree with the
$7.SO connection fee. Mr. Paulus explained that this fee is applicable to every-
body, not just to trailer courts, that perhaps Mr. Bunton should apply for service
in his name for those spaces in which trailers would only stay for short periods.
In this way, he would avoid the $7.50 charge. Mr. Bunton stated he is considering
removing the PUD meters and installing his own. Mr. Cattan stated he felt it was
illegal for Mr. Bunton to be in the utility business, that perhaps he should check
on this with his attorney. Mr. Bunton said he would. Mrs. Bunton said it was
her initial understanding that services could be connected before 5:00 seven days
a week at the $7.50 charge, but that she or her customers were charged $12.50 any-
time on weekends. Mr. Bunton explained that most of his customers were transient;
they don't stay for long periods as they do in Village Green. Mr. Moore explained
that it costs the District more than $12.50 to call our man out on weekends or
after regular working hours to make a connection. Mr. Bunton requested one master
meter for his court. Mr. Loehr suggested keeping his meters alive at all times
and in his name, that in the winter it would be less expensive for Mr. Bunton to
have the meters disconnected when the spaces weren't occupied and pay the $7.SO
reconnection in the spring. Mr. Bunton also mentioned that the District connected
a service to Mr. Harsten from his private pole. The District will check into this
matter. Mr. Bunton said there are three services coming into his court where
there should only be one. It was noted that not all the trailer courts are metered
individually, but this will be accomplished eventually. Messrs. Loehr and Moore
felt there should be no $7.50 charge when a transfer was accomplished, but that
$7.50 should be charged when a reconnection is made. Mr. Stone thought the District
should proceed with metering all the trailer parks as soon as possible.

JUNE 151 1971 - CONTINUED
RECREATION DISTRICT BOARD MEMBERS
Mr. Hank Schwarz, Recreation Board Member, mentioned trading the Meadow Park or
other site with Mr. Herzog so that the Recreation District could develop Hilltop
as it should have been. In this way, Herzog could have some property he could
develop and be relieved of the responsibility of the Hilltop property; the Recrea-
tion District would have the opportunity to provide ski facilities in Truckee as
originally intended; and the PUD would not have to take it upon themselves to
improve the Meadow Park site behind their office. It was noted that Mr. Herzog
operated the Hilltop facility for recreational purposes for 4-5 years in a hapha-
zard manner but now there is no recreational operation. Mr. Cattan consulted
Attorney Paul Chamberlain in this matter, and Mr. Chamberlain advises that the
District cannot force Mr. Herzog to operate recreational facilities at Hilltop,
that the District will only be involved with Mr. Herzog when he considers selling
the land, that the District has no clause whereby it can sue Mr. Herzog because
he has ceased recreational facilities according to the contract. Mr. Cattan
suggested the restrictions on the deed. Mr. Moore suggested we contact Mr. Herzog
regarding the possibility of a land trade. Dr. Tapia said this land is worth
$185,000 now, that the Recreation District has contacted a man in Colorado who
would put the ski lift into operation for $7,000. Mr. Stone suggested the Recrea-
tion District could obtain statements from former PUD board members involved in
the Herzog contract. Mr. Moore suggested researching the minutes and files. Mr.
Schwarz asked for permission from the Board to have another attorney review the
contract, and the Board agreed. Mr. Schwarz inquired of the Board that if zoning
were administered in the areas of either Hilltop or Meadow Park, would the PUD
favor open space zoning. The board members present replied yes. Discussion
i ensued regarding whether or not the District could legally trade land with Mr.
Herzog. It was generally felt that we could not, but we could sell the land to
i the Recreation District for $1 and they could trade recreation land for recreation
land. Mr. Moore stated this District should not be in the land business, that
perhaps we could trade because we would not be making a profit. Dr. Tapia stated
the Recreation District unofficially is in favor of a trade, but Mr. Moore felt
a full board should be present to make a decision for the PUD board. No action
on this matter at this time.

JULY 69 1971
The meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility
District was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by President Doyle in the Conference
Room.
ROLL CALL: Moore, present; Anderson, present; Stone, present; Loehr, present;
Doyle, present.
GUESTS PRESENT: Jean Silva, Sierra Sun Reporter.
EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Cattan, Bliss.
i
No errors, omissions or corrections, the minutes of June 11, 1971 and of June 15,
1971 were approved as written.
BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
Mr. Doyle thought the District should repair their own electrical work rather
than job it out. Mr. Cattan stated we do when the men are not busy with construc-
tion. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr.
Moore that the bills be paid as listed, a copy of which is part of these minutes.
j ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
RESOLUTION 7116, AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION 6701, $S MINIMUM, DOMESTIC ELECTRIC RATES
i
This resolution was presented at a previous meeting and tabled pending further
study. The present electrical minimum on domestic rates is $3, and the District
proposes to increase the minimum to $5 so as to be consistent with the customers
in new subdivisions who presently pay $5/month for 60 months. Mr. Cattan explained
that the District loses revenue on subdivisions because of iron losses in the
transformers, whether power is used or not, that the present $3 just covers the
cost of billing, meter reading and mailing, that salaries have increased 7 1/2 0.
Mr. Cattan feels the permanent residents should not be penalized and have to
` for those who have second homes, and does not recommend a rate increase. Most
i
utilities and companies have increased their rates. 62 customers from 646 in
Truckee and 501 customers from 834 in Donner Lake would be affected by this increase
part of the year. Water minimum was increased two years ago, and the electric
portion should follow suit according to Mr. Cattan. Mr. Doyle stated he is against
raising the rates. Mr. Moore felt the $5 would not hurt the majority because they
use more than the minimum kilowatts each month. Mr. Anderson agreed with Mr. Moore.
j Mr. Stone is in favor of raising the rates but felt we should have a separate policy
on electric service in trailer parks. Mr. Cattan agreed that trailer parks will
have to be considered under a separate policy. Mr. Doyle said he felt a break
should.be given to those who are all electric, but he agrees with the Manager's
theory. After brief discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Stone and seconded by
Mr. Loehr that Resolution 7116 increasing the monthly minimum domestic rate from
$3 to $5 effective 11/1/71 be adopted.
i
ROLL CALL: Moore aye• Anderson aye• Stone, aYe• Loehr, nay; Doyle, nay.
Motion carried by a vote of 3 - 2.
Mr. Stone requested that a newspaper release be prepared explaining the reasons
for this increase (iron losses, increased operating costs, actual cost to maintain
service to isolated residences.) Mr. Doyle reiterated he is against raising the
rates because we are dealing with people, that prices cannot keep going up and up,
f that we should take a cut if necessary. Mr. Moore explained that we have not
raised the rates, only the minimum. Mr. Anderson suggested publishing the kilowatt
schedule.
RESOLUTION 7103, WATER SERVICE IN PLACER COUNTY
This resolution will be tabled until the next meeting,
i
j July 6, 1971 Page 69
JULY 6, 1971 - CONTINUED
RESOLUTION 71 8, UNDERGROUND POWER TO CONDOMINIUMS, ETC. , AMENDING RESOLUTION
67019 RULE XV, LINE EXTENSION, PARA. 2
The resolution was read by President Doyle and elaborates on Rule XV, estab-
lishing a definite policy on underground power to multiple dwellings and public
places.. Mr. Cattan explained that Nevada Coimty does not approve any condo-
miniums, apartments, lodges, etc. unless they have underground service from the
main line to the building(s) . The District now has six applications for consid-
eration for underground service (Tahoe Donner, Donner Pines, Van Wetter, etc.)
The applicant will pay for cable from the overhead line to the pad and will
provide the pad mount transformer. Mr. Doyle inquired about underground to a --
single family residence, and Mr. Cattan said this policy is being prepared,
will be a separate matter to avoid confusion. Discussion ensued regarding
single-family undergrounding and multiple undergrounding in one resolution,
and Mr. Cattan stated a drawing will be attached to the policy on undergrounding
for single-family dwellings, and it will be less confusing to keep these two
policies separate, that the District does the work for multiple/public dwellings
whereas the owner of a single-family dwelling does his own work. No further
discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone that
Resolution 7118, Underground Power to Condominiums, Lodges, Apartments, Club
Houses, Mobile Home Parks or Other Public Buildings, Amending Resolution 6701,
Rule XV, Line Extension, Para. 2 (b) , be adopted.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
MANAGER'S REPORT
1. TONINI TANK #2 BID: Bid opening is July 20. Jim Smith will prepare site.
The bid is for the tank only as the District will provide the pumps. Mr.
Loehr questioned whether all the jobs pertinent to this tank should all be
under one bid, that he felt when a job exceeds $4,000, it should go to bid.
Mr. Cattan felt that we did not have to group the jobs associated with this
tank into one bid because the District was using its own personnel and r--�
materials, that we were not subcontracting jobs. He said all the pipe was
already put to bid, that we are now just furnishing labor. Mr. Moore +
requested a report on cost to date on jobs related to the Tonini Tank #2
so that we could get the total picture on whether to do the work ourselves
or to put the work out to bid. Mr. Stone mentioned that the District
probably considers this work a project capital investment.
2. LAKEWORLD POWER REQUIREMENT: Lakeworld has requested power for the lodge
or 300 KVA pad mount transformers. We now have Resolution 7118 dealing
with undergrounding for multiple/public buildings to apply to the lodge,
condominiums and club house. Teichert was awarded the contract for the
access road. It was noted only steel pipe was acceptable to the District,
and that the water storage tanks would probably not be constructed this year.
Mr. Cattan suggested to Lakeworld to check with the Fire Marshall on water
supply to group housing. The District is charging $1/1,000' of water hauled.
3. DONNER STATE PARK: The District is laying the underground cable to the
sewer pumping station. The state is paying for this line which only has one
splice. Sierra Pacific is sending a man to explain underground construction
to our electrical crew.
4. DONNER LAKE SUBSTATION: Cranmer Engineering was given the job for the
design of the retaining wall.
5. PAINT: The office and warehouse will be painted with Lumber Life, Redwood
Frown.
Mr. Anderson requested that the white fence west of the office be removed.
Mr. Doyle inquired if the persons responsible for the outage in Prosser Lakeview
Estates when a tree was felled were billed to cover our costs. Mr. Cattan
replied yes.
Mr. Doyle asked that a shield be ordered for Mr. Pleich's security light.
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Moore,
that the regular meeting be recessed and an executive meeti id. 1 ayes.
Regul meeting recessed :19 P.M.

(Tonini Tank #2 Bid Opening will be at 8:00.)
DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER BID AUTHORIZATION
Seven transformers have to be ordered, totaling approximately $10,000. All but
f two of these transformers will be used in the Tahoe Donner project. Bid opening
is August 3. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded
by Mr. Moore that the distribution transformers be put to bid. All ayes.
REPORT, COST TO DATE ON JOBS RELATED TO TONINI TANK #2
June's figures are not finalized, but job is 95 o complete. The line portion cost
is $8,416.43 to date including 1 hydrant, 200' of 4" pipe and 1,4601 of 6" pipe.
The estimated cost of the 4" to 6" conversion on the bridge is $2,000.
LAKEWORLD POWER DEMAND
Lakeworld initially requested 300-400 HP for their project, and the District
assured them we could supply this from the C & D Feeders. Since all buildings
f will be all electric, a July 8, 1971 letter from their architects requests 1,000 HP
for the club house, maintenance building,ski lift and condominiums. Mr. Cattan
j informed Mr. Damavandi that the District was not prepared for this additional
power demand unless the substation is completed early in November. Lakeworld
regrets that their initial request was underestimated and has offered to provide
the labor to build the retaining wall at the Donner Lake Substation in order to
expedite the completion. When the substation is complete, the B feeder will feed
the Tahoe Donner project. Mr. Moore inquired if the District made an estimate on
the power demand for this subdivision for our own information? Mr. Cattan replied
no one knew the architects would employ all electric heating and explained electric
f is selected over propane gas for economy. Mr. Moore felt problems would be created
in the future if we do not have the facilities to supply such a large power demand.
Mr. Cattan mentioned the district may need a substation in the Tahoe Donner Subdi-
vision, and there is a site set aside in the southwest corner of the project in
accordance to the contract between the District and Lakeworld. Mr. Loehr asked
how much power can Sierra Pacific supply? Mr. Cattan replied they have plenty of
power and that we can have as many points of delivery as we want. Lakeworld will
I
have to inform the District this winter if they are going to build 80 more condo-
�, miniums next year so that we can bid another substation.

TONINI TANK #2 BID OPENING
i
One bid was submitted from McKnight Construction, accompanied by a 10 o bond, as
follows:
Refitting South Side Booster: $9,0 85.00
Bolted Steel Tank, reconditioned: $11,253.00
21,338.00
Additive Alternate: Welded Steel Tank: $10,028.00 Increase
July 20, 1971 ,Page 74
JULY 20, 19 71 - CONTINUED
TONINI TANK #2 BID OPENING - CONTINUED
Dan Cook recommended not considering the welded steel tank at that price. The
bid is qualified depending on the condition of the tank, and reconditioned tanks
give excellent service. Engineer's estimate was $16,500. Dan Cook's recommen-
dation is to accept the base bid of McKnight and reject the Additive Alternate.
Mr. Cook explained this tank will benefit the town system and involves 60 days
construction time. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Stone and
seconded by Mr. Loehr that the District accept Items 1 (refitting the South
Side Booster) and 2 (100,000 gallon bolted steel tank) and the bid be awarded
to McKnight Construction.

ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
Mr. Cattan explained that $9,085 will be paid mostly from the Sierra Meadows
and Ponderosa Palisades Assessment Districts toward this project.
DR. TAP IA, RECREATION DISTRICT
As requested by this District, Dr. Tapia presented the Memorandum of Modifica-
tion of Lease on the Meadow Park property and exchange for the 4.S acres bordering
the southeast end of the Regional Park. The Recreation District passed a resolu-
tion accepting this exchange. Mr. Doyle asked Dr. Tapia if the Recreation
District was going to develop the Meadow Park property. Dr. Tapia replied not
in the immediate future, but their district has a committee working on a master
plan for Truckee and this area is included. Mr. Doyle inquired as to the
present status of the roadway situation through the Brockway 4.5 acres. Dr.
Tapia replied their board is in favor of a roadway going through this piece of
property to accommodate the owners who are landlocked. This road would give the
Recreation District access to the east end of the park. Mr. Moore asked if
there was a sewer assessment on the Meadow Park property; Mr. Cook replied yes,
$6,5 84.00. Mr. Moore felt that perhaps then the Recreation District should have
both parcels, that we should not take the Meadow Park site back. Upon checking
the records, it was found that the Sanitary District paid this assessment in
lieu of an easement. Mr. Cook explained there is a bond against the property
the county sold, but the Sanitary District is trying to get the bond back.
Mr. Moore stated that if we took the Meadow Park site back, we would immediately
have to pay off the assessment of $7,200 including interest and penalty. Mr.
Stone felt we should recover the Meadow Park site since we will be putting
other land up for sale and getting revenue. A motion was then made by Mr. Stone
and seconded by Mr. Loehr that an arrangement be entered into between districts
to exchange properties as discussed.
ROLL CALL: Moore, nay; Anderson, nay; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, nay.
Motion defeated.
Mr. Moore reiterated that he felt we should not make this exchange but give the
4.5 acres to the Recreation District, reserving the Meadow Park site also for
recreation so that apartments or commercial buildings could not be constructed
later. Mr. Doyle stated the Board is on record that if we were to make improve-
ments, it would be in the form of recreation, that as an adjacent property owner,
this is a difficult decision. Mr. Stone said that 4 weeks ago he suggested
perhaps we should make this exchange and dedicate it for recreation. Mr. Loehr
said that when we get the Meadow Park site back, the Board can discuss its use
and initiate plans for development. Mr. Doyle stated he would like to see the
motion qualified that the Meadow Park site would be held for recreational
property, that he cannot see where we would build an office building on this
site, that if this situation is not resolved by this board, and this board is
subsequently voted out, the land could be disposed of by a future board for
uses other than recreation. Mr. Moore felt the main reason for this exchange
was to give a road into the park property and to the adjacent landlocked owner,
but does not see why we need a motion to clarify anything, that we could turn
the 4.5 acres on Brockway over to the Recreation District on another lease.
Mr. Paulus mentioned that whenever District land is put to bid, the Recreation
District has first option. Dr. Tapia said that his district understood that
the only way it could obtain the property adjacent to their Regional Park was
to exchange, that he would get together with our Manager and work out some
other mutual agreement to develop a program that both districts could handle
on an equitable basis. Mr. Doyle said he was sure this could be worked out.
Mr. Moore felt that a lease on the 4.5 acres on Brockway should stipulate the
work to be done for improvement of the Meadow Park site. Mr. Cattan would like
a piece of the Meadow Park site to straighten the office/warehouse property.

JULY 20, 19 71 - CONTINUED
DR. TAP IA, RECREATION DISTRICT - CONTINUED
Mr. Stone mentioned that 10 months ago he made a motion that the District deed
the 4 acre parcel on the shortcut known as the "swamp' to the Recreation District
for $1. Mr. Cattan recommended keeping the rear piece of property as a future
site for a warehouse. Messrs. Doyle and Anderson said the Donner Trail residents
would have to look at this warehouse. Mr. Moore asked Dr. Tapia if he could set
aside any funds for improvement of the Meadow Park site, or could he commit himself
to some type of plans (grass or trees)? Dr. Tapia stated he would like to see
this parcel developed, that prior to this time in their program they were committed
by grant money received to concentrate money into the Regional Park or lose this
money. Now they can expand their development into other areas as designated by
their board; they are free from grant money to use their money where they wish.
Mr. Loehr explained to Dr. Tapia that our district is willing to grant the 4.5
acre Brockway parcel for $1 and let the Recreation District continue to hold
Meadow Park. Mr. Doyle mentioned that this District was offered $3,000 for a
road easement through this same property last fall. Mr. Cattan mentioned that
the District can obtain fill from time to time from different job sites, can
plant trees and grass, and then give the parcel back to the Recreation District.
Mr. Stone moved that we hold the Meadow Park situation in abeyance and grant deed
for $1 to the Recreation District the 4 + acre "swamp" on Brockway. Mr. Moore
seconded the motion.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
So ordered. Paul Chamberlain will draw up the legal papers for the sale. Mr.
Doyle said to Dr. Tapia that he is sure he is aware of the feelings of this board
regarding the Meadow Park site. Dr. Tapia said their final budget will be
considered August 5 and he will see if his board will consider working on the
Meadow Park site.
RECREATION DISTRICT POLL REGARDING PROPOSED BOND ISSUE
Dr. Tapia explained that his District would like to conduct a poll by enclosing
�.... a questionnaire in the electric and water bills. The questionnaire is concerned
with purchasing the west end beach at Donner Lake ($500,000) and the 70 + acres
at Hilltop ($185,000) . The Board said they would have no objection to this stuffer.
i
MANAGER'S REPORT
1. A large tree fell on the main line on Reed Avenue in Donner. Lake causing an
outage for several hours.
2. The Division of Highways is vitally interested in our relocating the water line
from under the freeway to along Hwy 89. The District can put the line on the
other side of the structures supporting the bridge, and this will save the
District a great deal of money.
3. Mr. Cattan requested that Tom be authorized to attend a one-day conference
August 27 in Santa Cruz sponsored by the California Association of Employers,
using the company's car. The cost is $40 registration and accommodations for
one night. Mr. Loehr moved and Mr. Stone seconded that Tom be authorized to
attend this conference. All ayes.
4. Mr. Cattan feels the one company car is not enough for the summer and requests
that the Board consider leasing a car. One company quoted $99/wk without gas
i
or $56/wk + 15�/mile and they pay for gas. If the District purchased a car
through General Services, we could save 10 o from market prices. Mr. Moore
suggested paying a man mileage for 3 months, but if this proves expensive,
the District could lease a pickup for approximately $80/month. Tom said the
growth of the District has been phenomenal. Mr. Stone felt leasing was
cheaper than owning. Mr. Moore suggested considering leasing for 1-2 years.
Mr. Doyle tabled this matter pending further study.
G
S. Mr. Paulus thanked the Board for the increase in his salary and does appreciate
it
6. Two parties are interested in purchasing the District property near the South
Side Well. Mr. Cattan stated the Division of Highways will allow as many
access roads as we wish. Mr. Paulus requested authorization to have this land
described, appraised, declared surplus and put to bid. The Board agreed.

7. The paint has arrived for the office building but not for the warehouse.
8. Mr. Paulus requested authority to have a lot in Donner"Lake on Reed Avenue
appraised, described, declared surplus and put to bid. He mentioned this
lot will probably be assessed by the Sanitary District next year. The
Board agreed to put this lot to bid.
9. Mr. Doyle inquired if the office authorized any real estate people to
attach signs to our poles. Mr. Paulus replied no. Mr. Doyle said there
is a sign on the corner of East River St. and 28, and asked that it be
removed.
10. Mr. Doyle stated he had a telephone call regarding the roof on the South
Side Well or Tank being ripped and warped. Mr. Paulus said the office had
noticed this too on a previous occasion. The roof was built by Karl Kuttel
in 1964, and the District will perform the necessary repairs.
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Moore
that the meeting be adjourned. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at 9:34 P.M.

ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So orde red.
PENSION PLAN, NRECA, PAUL KRAMER
This plan was discussed in September 19 70. Mr. Kramer mentioned that the NRECA
Insurance Department was founded in 1930 because there was a need for this service
to small member systems, that 940 out of 980 member systems participate in the
insurance program. Mr. Kramer recommends a 7 1/2 o employer contribution/3 o employee
contribution and stated NRECA can provide term life insurance for 63�/month where we
are now paying $4.50. These plans can be tailored to meet our needs and payments
00-k are handled by Bankers Trust Company in New York. A flat premium is charged, and
any profits over and above that paid out are distributed back to the member system.
Mr. Kramer has reviewed the other pension plans we are considering and stated NRECA
can meet and beat any benefits provided by the State of California or private
agencies. This District will be required to join NRECA to participate in any of
their plans, and this cost is $612/year. Upon termination of an employee, the
entire contribution is returned with 5 a guaranteed interest. The employee acquires
a gradual ownership of the vested benefit with 100 0 ownership after 15 years.
NRECA recommends 2-3 years e 1 i g ib i 1 i ty and assumes a 3 a increase in figuring. Our
total payroll for 1970 was $110,788, and estimated total payroll for 1971 is $12 2,000.
Mr. Paulus will work with Mr. Kramer and Mr. Robinson, union representative,. on a
tailor made plan for this. district and resubmit this plan at the next board meeting.
DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER BIDS
Due notice having been published and mailed, the bids submitted were opened by
President Doyle as noted on the attached Bid Summary. Two bids were submitted by
Wedco, one each from the President and Treasurer. The Manager's estimate was $200
less than the lowest bid submitted. Mr. Doyle directed the Manager to review the
specifications of each bid and make his recommendation so that the bid may be awarded
at the next regular meeting.
DONNER LAKE SUBSTATION COST
The Water Foreman worked 5 hours last Saturday excavating for the retaining wall.
Since the district could not obtain a local backhoe and operator, a backhoe was
rented for $785/month from Sacramento. The District's backhoe is being used for
regular district construction and is usually unavailable for the substation.
Mr. Cattan feels the substation can be completed in time now with this rented backhoe,
and the total cost of the substation will be $95,000-$100,000 which is close to his
estimate made in October 1969. This substation was scheduled for 19733, but the
growth of this area demanded construction this year. Mr. Stone suggested investigating
leasing this backhoe yearly. It was noted the cost of a new backhoe is $10,000-
$13,000 or $100/day plus operator if one is hired. This District will construct ours
and Sierra Pacific's foundations at the substation site, and Sierra Pacific will do
the steel work. The transformers for the Donner Lake substation will be delivered
September 15 for mounting directly on the pads. This new substation will eliminate
problems with outages, and completion is anticipated this October.
i
August 3, 1971 Page 79
AUGUST 3, 1971 - CONTINUED
TAHOE DONNER SUBSTATION (PROPOSED)
The Manager feels we will have to build this substation earlier than anticipated.
A site in the Tahoe Donner Subdivision has been designated for this substation
in accordance with an agreement between Lakeworld and this District. The power
demand submitted last Friday is 450 HP each for the Donner Lake pumping station,
the Donner Trail booster station and the Soma Sierra booster station or 1350 HP
total. There will also be small pumps for sewer lines. The State Board of
Health has required filtration of the water from Donner Lake. This substation
will be put to bid this winter and construction is scheduled for early May
I
pending REA approval. Tahoe Donner will be supplied this winter from the B feeder.
ENGAGING UNDERGROUND ENGINEER AND SURVEYOR/DRAFTSMAN
Until this time the District has contracted all its work to consulting engineers,
but now it may be more advantageous to consider hiring additional employees to
perform this work with all the undergrounding required by the county, especially
in the Lakeworld project. The county feels that accessibility to water and sewer
lines in the roads is mandatory. Also, this District cannot build our line without
accessibility. We will want assurance from Lakeworld that they will be using power
this winter. The cost of an U.G. Engineer is approximately $1,300/month if we are
lucky enough to locate one. If Lakeworld is not going to finish their scheduled
construction this season, this engineer will not be needed until next April. It
was noted that the teamsters union went, on strike at 6:30 this morning, and this
will delay construction. There are 55 miles of roads in the Tahoe Donner Subdivi-
sion, and Teichert is installing another batch plant in a month, requiring 350 HP.
Mr. Stone requested a projected growth plan of the District's staff in 5 year
inclements. Mr. Cattan stated this is not so simple as it is difficult to foresee
the growth of this area, that the Lakeworld development is not part of natural
growth. He felt the draftsman/surveyor will not be needed until next April. More
trucks, 2 additional linemen and another water apprentice will also be required
next year. Mr. Cattan stated it is not the single family dwellings in Lakeworld
that demand power, because this building will be a gradual process, but it is the
large buildings such as the condominiums, club houses, lodges that require addi-
tional facilities. A projected employee growth plan will be prepared for the
next meeting.
BACKHOE PURCHASE
Mr. Cattan feels it may be less expensive to lease a backhoe than to purchase one.
Mr. Doyle instructed the Manager to obtain all available estimates on prices of
a new b ackhoe vs. leasing one.
RECREATION DISTRICT, 4.5 ACRES BROCKWAY/MEADOW PARK
The letters of June 30, 1971 and August 2, 1971 from Attorney Paul Chamberlain
regarding this subject were read by President Doyle. Mr. Stone still urges that
the District convey the property to the Recreation District as they can develop
the property to a better use than we can. Mr. Loehr felt we could not do this
for $1, that the District would be open to criticism and possible lawsuits, but
that we could request a note without interest from the Recreation District and
transfer of the title could be accomplished with this note. Mr. Chamberlain
suggested selling the land to the Recreation District at a reduced price but did
not elaborate on what a reduced price would be. Mr. Anderson felt this District
would not be open to criticism for selling this land for $1 because a transfer
was being accomplished between two public entities, and the Recreation District
can develop this land where we do not wish to, that this District should not hold
lands but get them on the tax rolls. Mr. Paulus felt the land should be sold for ..._,
compensation but will write to the Recreation Board and to Paul Chamberlain `
regarding a long term lease. It was noted the Recreation District had arranged
for fill to be hauled to the Meadow Park site for a baseball field.
(At this time a 5-minute recess was called by President Doyle.)
RESOLUTION 7119, SURPLUS LAND SALE,, LOT 9. BLOCK 19, LAKEVIEW SUB.
This lot was appraised by Mr. Noble Murray at $3,450 and is located on Donner Pass
Road. The resolution was read into the minutes by President Doyle. Bids will be
opened on August 17, 8:00 P.M. and notices will be published in the local paper.
Minimum bid will be $3,450 and must be accompanied by a certified check in the
amount of 10% of the bid. The lot is 50' x 100' . No further discussion, a motion
was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Anderson that Resoiution 7il9, declaring
Page 80 August 3, 1971

RESOLUTION 7119 - CONTINUED
certain real property, i.e. Lot 9, Block 19, Lakeview Sub. , and providing for
sale thereof at public auction on sealed bids, be adopted.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So ordered.
RESOLUTION 7120, SURPLUS LAND SALE, 1.49 ACRES, BROCKWAY SHORTCUT
Doyle: Resolution 7120, declaring certain real property surplus and providing
for the sale thereof at public auction. This deals with 1.49 acres of
surplus land located ad j acent to state highway Route 267. The sale of
said parcel shall be in this room at 9 P.M. on the 17th of August, 1971.
(Comment by Mr. Cattan not audible on tape.)
OK, I'm lost. Why?
Cattan: Because I do not agree with the price.
Anderson: He has not advertised it.
Doyle: The other one hasn't been either. Let's discuss it then.
Cattan: The other one has been. Welthought we should hold this until the Board
has approved it.
Doyle: Did we have an appraisal on this piece?
i
Paulus: OK. Originally what happened was that it was appraised by another
appraiser. This came to $10,000. We had 315' of highway frontage.
At the meeting several weeks ago, we thought that arbitrarily the $10,000
was a little high. One person was interested in this and it wasn't big
enough for him, so we went back and had this surveyed, etc. and had it
appraised. The appraiser called me Monday and said he appraised this at
.,, $12,750 and it figures out 4671 of actual frontage on 267. In other words,
the trailer park sits back here.
Anderson: Where is the road into p
Sy lvania's ad?
Paulus: This is the road right here. This is the proposed road. I think it is
the same site but the chose to enlarge it but we don't consider an
y g � y
smaller. The existing road is adequate.
Loehr: What size parcel is that?
Paulus: Well, it figures out to 1.49 acres with 445' of highway frontage, but it
does come down to a point here.
Loehr: What is the appraisal?
Paulus: $12,750 right.
Doyle: OK. We're talking about more than 1.49 acres. I thought you said you
i
added some more on to i t?
Paulus: No. We did add some to the original triangle.
Anderson: How much was the original triangle?
Cattan: The original triangle was less than the. * .
i
k Paulus: The original was 315 X 260 and we added 210 here plus 155 here.
i Doyle: The appraisal for that parcel as you just described it is $12,750?
Paulus: Right.
Doyle: George, did you have a comment?
Cattan: Well, the. . .this triangle here was appraised for $10,000 and now they
added more land plus the road -- they added more 1 and. Double. And
the second appraisal by somebody else is $12,000. It doesn't look to
me right.

August 3, 1971 81

AUGUST 3, 1971 - CONTINUED
RESOLUTION 7120 - CONTINUED
Loehr: That property in that area is worth about $S,000/acre. What is the
present frontage?
Cattan: 4701 .
Loehr: Yeah, but there's an awful lot of that frontage you can't use. You
can't use your frontage there only when you have an access. I think that
if you will dispose of the property and put it on the tax rolls where it's
supposed to be, that $12,750 is a good price. You're not giving it away
by any sense.
Doyle: We agreed upon this be fore, that this was the prime purpose, but now George
apparently thinks the price is too low.
Loehr: Well, you'll sit on it forever, the same as you have had to do with other
ones you've put out for bid with a least acceptable bid way out of reason.
I think the better thing to do is put it out at a reasonable bid. You
don't know what kind of a bid you're going to get when people are bidding
against one another to get it. If you get $12,750 for that piece of ground
you're getting good money. Real good money. That's worth $S,000/acre.
That land in that area.
Doyle: How many appraisals have we had on this, two?
Paulus: Well, actually just one, considering the portion we are advertising and
trying to sell at this time. The previous one wasn't adequate in size
so actually there is just one appraisal.
Anderson: When the second appraisal came in, did it have the tip separated?
Cattan: No, it was a total package. I think it would be a good idea. . . .who
appraised this the first time? ..�
Paulus: Ted Niehaus appraised it the first time, and the fellow from Carson City,
Noble Murray, did it the second time.
Cattan: Quite a bit of difference.
Doyle: Then your feeling is that $12,750 is not enough?
Cattan: No, not if the first appraisal was $10,000.
Loehr: That appraisal was entirely out of line.
Doyle: If you don't think it is enough, what do you think we should do?
Cattan: Get a second appraisal.
Doyle: All right then, would you consider having it appraised. again?
Cattan: That would only delay us 2 weeks.
Loehr: How much does each appraisal cost you?
Cattan: Oh, about $300.
Loehr: Whew! $900 on appraisals!
Stone: I agree with George it's underpriced. I spent the last 5 days trying to
find one acre where everything is there and it doesn't have to be developed.
$40,000 is the best we could do.
Cattan: With the Donner Lake Substation we had to pay, for 90 X 110, we had to
pay $5,000 and it isn't even on the road.
Paulus: I might add one thing. There is water and electricity right on the lot.
Stone: What about sewer?
Paulus: Sewer isn't out there yet. It will probably be next year.

AUGUST 3, 1971 - CONTINUED
RESOLUTION 7120 - CONTINUED
Cattan: There is only one disadvantage. There is a power line of Sierra Pacific's
that goes through it. It's the best part of that whole land.
Doyle: How much money have we spent on appraisals on this piece so far?
Paulus: Well, the first one as a package he appraised this and the one across the
street and the one we want to give to the Recreation District. If I
remember correctly, I think that was $300. We haven't received the bill
on this. On this, I didn't think we had to be too terribly formal since
we already had one portion appraised.
Doyle: What's your pleasure?
Stone: Do we have the right to refuse bids?
I
Doyle: Certainly. We can re j e ct any and all.
'r
Cattan: But it doesn't look good when you fix a price. . . .you say the minimum is
so much and then refuse the minimum.
I
' Loehr: You don't refuse it if anybody goes over it. You have a least acceptable bid.
I
Paulus: The other appraisal was for $12,750 and that is what we drew up the resolu-
tion with. We have already changed it once.
i
Cattan: No, you can't refuse this one. The way it is written. You could refuse it
if you didn't fix a minimum sale price. As long as you put a minimum sale
price, you have to accept it.
i
Loehr: You will get all kinds of prices on property if you need it badly enough.
They name their own price. You're trying to get this back on the tax rolls,
get a little bit of money for the district, and it certainly will be some
outlets there. It will also assist the tax burden. Get it on the tax rolls.
Cattan: What does another appraisal cost, some $200?
i
f Paulus: In that general area.
Cattan. Well, it is worth $200. It will be more satisfied with me.
Doyle: Rex, do you have a comment?
Anderson: I don't know that much about land value but I think this is a pretty
F , p y
fair price myself.
I Doyle: Nelson?
Anderson: (To Stone) Where were you looking for an acre for $40,000?
Stone: Up on the Brockway shortcut.
I
Cattan: Yeah.
Loehr: P rob ab ly over at Dollar Hill.
Stone: We investigated the 80 acres over there back of our well. $110,000.
�-- (Rest of comment not audible on tape.)
Loehr: Who was supposed to be buying that, forest service?
Stone: No, the fellow who was going to build our office.
i �
Cattan. He paid $10,000 for that acre. And he is stuck for water and sewer and
power lines.
Stone: Water, sewer and stuff like that will cost him another $30,000.
Cattan: But he is not on the road.
Stone: I think this land is worth more than $12,750. And I'm going to abstain
from any further comment because I just might be rooking "uncle" out of
a site for a ranger station.

RESOLUTION 7120 - CONTINUED
Loehr: Conflict of interest?
Stone: Yeah.
Doyle: Tom, what's your comment?
Paulus: I think it should be sold personally.
Doyle: We're all in agreement. We know we're going to sell it, but we're
dickering over the price now. i
Paulus: I think it should be sold for this appraisal price. If you bring the
same guy back, I don't really know what it's going to prove besides
delaying it. We have a professional man that's interested in it. I'm
anxious to see this go because another professional man is semi-inter-
ested too. I don't know anything about land values, but I don't think
it's a bad price.
Stone: I think if this piece is developed, our appraisal on the rest of the 30
acres is inadequate because commercial status will be established. It
will affect the value of the surrounding 1 and.
Loehr: It will probably increase the land behind it. And that is good land, up
on that bench.
Stone: I have no objection to advertise it.
Doyle: Well, it is George's recommendation that we have it appraised again and
consider it at the next meeting. What's your pleasure?
Loehr: I move for the adoption of Resolution 7120.
Anderson: I'll second it.
Doyle: Director Loehr has moved and Director Anderson has seconded that Resolu-
tion 7120 declaring certain real property surplus and providing for the
sale thereof at public auction to be held on the 7th day of September,
1971 at 8:00 P.M. at this office. Said minimum price to be $12,750 for
1.49 acres on state route 267. Any further question?
Loehr: Question.
Doyle: Secretary will call the roll.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, abstain; Loehr, aye; Doyle, nay.
Doyle: Motion is carried. So ordered.
UNION NEGOTIATION FINALIZATION
Mr. Paulus stated the union has not submitted the final contract to us., and we
have requested this finalization on several occasions. The Board agreed that
it is the union's responsibility to present the final contract.
(No items for the Manager's Report.)
Mr. Doyle inquired about the water break on Burkhalter by the Division of Highways.
Don Archer, Water Foreman, said he thought it was on E. Main, that it was sewer,
but would check into it,
DONNER LAKE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION
Mr. Milton Nason, Attorney and resident of Donner Lake, represented this associa-
tion which was present to protest the $5 minimum on domestic rates which will be
effective November 1, 1971. Mr. Nason stated these owners only use their property
a few months of the year and are a captured audience in that they can only purchase
power from this district, and feels that this district should abide by the rates
and formulas as the PUC. The group feels that all rate increases should be related
to practicality and a principle of fairness with professional rate setting advice.
Rates should be in line with other utility monopolies whether the organization is
public or private, and should be designed so as not to impart advantage from one
Page 84 August 3, 1971
AUGUST 3, 1971 - CONTINUED
DONNER LAKE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSO C. - CONTINUED
group to another. Mr. Doyle stated this Board is elected by the people to protect
the assets and interests of this District, that the Board would not increase the
rate to penalize anybody. Mr. Doyle then read the minutes of June 11 and 16, 1971
relative to this subject. Mr. Cattan mentioned that this District maintained
lower rates than Sierra Pacific when we took over part of their Donner Lake system,
that all new subdivisions pay a $5 minimum at present, that much of the single
phase lines in Donner Lake have been replaced with three phase and new conductors,
upgrading the system. It was noted that all utilities have increased their rates,
that at present Sierra Pacific is asking for a 12 1/2% increase from the PUC.
Mr. Cattan stated the District is spending alot of money on Donner Lake and
revenue is not coming from Donner Lake for the most part, that the Truckee rates
and cheaper than Sierra Pacific rates. Mr. Nason reiterated that this type of
rate setting should conform to some type of rate formula. Mr. Cattan stated we
have no formula, that there is a way of working the cost of revenue, that Donner
Lake does not pay if you compute expenses vs. revenue.
Mr. Stone said this District
is non-profit but does have the power of taxation, but that is the last thing we
want to do. We prefer to share the cost or attempt to gain revenue from some
other source, that a major part of our development has gone into the Donner Lake
area, and the Donner Lake people should be sharing the cost of the substation and
not the people in the other end of the District, that we are qualified to accept
loans from REA but do not wish to do these .improvements with this money. Mr.
Stone said we are doing everything to improve our facilities as a team, which
includes the Donner Lake people. Mr. Nason said he would like to check with the
PUC regarding their guidelines for rate setting. He also mentioned that the
people have a problem in analyzing their bills and referred to the property
association bill. It was explained xp d this is a commercial rate which minimum is
$5 since last February 1. Mr. Cattan explained the commercial rate is 10% lower
than the Sierra Pacific Power Company's. Mr. Maragliano, who lives in Donner
Lake 6-7 months of the year, stated that many of the people on the west end of
the lake who own second homes still have to pay taxes but do not get to elect
the directors for this board as they are not registered here but where they have
their first homes, that this is taxation without representation. Mr. Anderson
stated that is a matter of preference where a voter chooses to reside, that this
Board cannot solve that problem, only our legislators can. Mr. Doyle stated the
people who are not registered voters here still have the right to come before our
meetings and state their opinions. Mr. Maragliano stated he felt the people at
the west end of Donner Lake were treated like step children, that they didn't ask
to be taken into this district. Mr. Maragliano felt the District should have
known that there was going to be a need for a substation in Donner Lake, that
this district is not paying any taxes but Sierra Pacific is. He asked if this
District is making any money, that our customers have never received a financial
statement. Mr. Doyle said all our records are public and may be inspected at any
time. Mr. Maragliano again asked if this District is making any money. Mr. Doyle
stated we are not trying to differentiate between Truckee and Donner Lake. Mr
Cattan asked where did the people think the improvements have come from when we
7 took it over? He answered, from the people from Truckee, that we are not making
any money. Mr. Stone referred to the present bank balance of some $13,00 and
stated just tonight we will be expending some $11,000-$12,000 on transformers and
that $1,000 is not much operating capital. Mr. Maragliano felt it would not take
$5 to send out a bill and asked if the District was going to pay its employees
another 7 1/2% in 1972. Mr. Paulus replied this District must pay its linemen
the scale other linemen in other parts of the country are paid to have skilled
people to perform the services required. Mr. Nason said he would like to compare
this District's rate structures with Sierra Pacific's with the benefit of PUC
formulas for analysis. Mr. Nason stated the residents feel they are subsidizing
Lakeworld, and Mr. Cattan and Mr. Doyle assured the residents that Lakeworld is
'Pam- paying for their own improvements. A woman from the audience felt this District
` cannot consider Donner Lake a subdivision, that they should pay the same as Truckee.
i
She did not see why the District needed to raise the rate, that we do not read
meters in the winter. Mr. Doyle mentioned that the majority of the people in
Donner Lake are only summer residents, where the majority of the people in Truckee
are permanent residents. Mr. Wetstein inquired how will the new substation
improve their service? Mr. Cattan explained by drawing a diagram on the board,
again mentioning that all improvements have been subsidized from Truckee, but that
the District considers all as one, that several thousand dollars was recently spent
improving the line with new conductors and replacing old wire. Mr. Doyle said the
Donner Lake residents will be served by a separate point of delivery from Sierra
Pacific. Mr. Bromley said many of the residents did not get any adjustments in
the spring with the first meter reading after winter estimating unless they came
j into the office. Mr. Paulus said he would check into this. Mrs. Adkerson said
she had a big fat credit on her bill from a recent adjustment. Mr. Stone said that

as a fire control officer, he would pull the switch in his home if he left for
the winter. One resident felt that many of the people would ask to have their
power disconnected during the winter with this new minimum. Mr. Doyle thanked
the residents for their attendance and comments and said that if this District
is out of line on this increase in the minimum domestic rate, -it could be
changed.
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Anderson
that the meeting be adjourned. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at 10:25 P.M.

AGENDA
SALE OF LAND, BROCKWAY SHORTCUT
GEORGE CATTAN, MANAGER
AUGUST S, 1971
The special meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility
District was called to order by President Doyle at 7:30 P.M. in the conference room.
ROLL CALL: Moore, present; Anderson, absent; Stone, present; Loehr, present;
Doyle, present.
GUESTS PRESENT: Daven Morey.
EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Cattan, Bliss.
RESOLUTION 7120, SURPLUS LAND SALE, 1.49 ACRES ON BROCKWAY SHORTCUT
j This resolution was considered and acted upon last Tuesday night. However, the
Manager feels the minimum bid price is too low. Mr. Noble Murray's formal appraisal
of $12,980 arrived this morning whereas his telephone appraisal on August 3, 1971
was $12,7SO. Mr. Cattan reiterated that Mr. Niehaus's appraisal on .49 acres was
$10,000, and now we have added another acre plus the road and the appraisal is only
$12,980. Mr. Cattan feels this appraisal is too low. He compared this property
per square foot with that in Sierra Meadows. Mr. Loehr said that the original
estimate of $10 000 on .49 acres was way out of line that the developers of
� P
Sierra Meadows had to spend much money to manufacture a lot (improvements, tennis
courts, etc.) whereas this District has spent nothing on improvements, and the
comparison is not reasonable. Mr. Cattan mentioned that Mr. Carson White mentioned
to him that some people are interested in land in that area for a trailer park,
that if we sell a piece, it won't affect the balance of the land. Discussion
ensued regarding the sale of a portion of our Brockway property and the effect
this proposed commercial development would have on the balance. Mr. Cattan feels
the value of the 1.49 acre parcel is between $15,000 and $20,000 because of the
commercial frontage. Mr. Loehr said that most of the frontage was unusable, that
this land should be sold at a reasonable minimum bid price to get it on the tax
rolls. Mr. Cattan said the additional acre added to the original .49 could be
split into two lots. Mr. Moore said in essence we doubled the land for $2,980.
Mr. Stone said by simple mathematics the appraisal of $12,980 is reasonable. His
conclusions are that land is only worth anything if you can have power, water
and sewer (this parcel does not have sewer) , and that evaluation of a piece of
property is worth only what it is to the man at that point or within 30 days, not
S years from now. Mr. Stone said he visited the site, took pictures, and recommends
that a portion of that land, namely the meadow or wet, swampy portion, be retained
by the District, holding approximately 30 acres largely grassland. Mr. Doyle
mentioned we still are discussing the 1.49 acres. Mr. Cattan said he recommended
putting the balance of our Brockway property to bid as one parcel. Mr. Doyle again
mentioned we must finalize Resolution 7120 or the 1.49 acre parcel first. Mr.
Moore, who was absent at the August 3 meeting, said he didn't think $12,7SO was
enough; however, the Board did act on that resolution last Tuesday. The Chair
asked Mr. Daven Morey his opinion, and he said the $12,980 appraisal is fair
because the Sierra Meadows property is sold on time. Mr. Moore agreed that when
this land is put to bid, he thinks it will bring in more than the minimum bid
f
price however. Mr. Stone felt we should put this land to bid now rather than
spend more money on appraisals. Mr. Cattan felt we should have another appraisal.
Mr. Doyle said to Mr. Cattan that the only difference in appraisals is in his
opinion. Mr. Loehr then moved that Resolution 7120, declaring certain real
property, namely 1.49 acres on the Brockway Shortcut, and providing for sale
thereof at public auction on sealed bids, be amended to have a least acceptable
bid of $14,000 since the formal appraisal was increased from $12,7SO to $12,980.
Mr. Stone seconded the motion.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, nay. So ordered.
Discussion ensued regarding the adjacent Brockway property and the reservation of
area for the springs. Mr. Cattan offered to take each director one by one to
inspect the site, or provide them each with a copy of the map. Mr. Doyle questioned
i
whether we should consider selling the parcel for the springs at all, that the
t
District may want it in 20 years or before for a particular use. Mr. Moore
mentioned there are springs coming down off the bench land. Mr. Loehr would like
to only sell the land SO' back of the hump, but not until sewers are in so that
the springs will not be endangered by pollution. Mr. Cattan said District land
will be 1J.4621 from the Brockway Shortcut. Mr. Doyle felt we shouldn't discuss
j this until we have an appraisal. Mr. Cattan said we could obtain two appraisers.

August S, 1971 Page 89
AUGUST 5, 19 71 - CONTINUED
Mr. Stone suggested the Board meet on the property and set stakes., that we
would be doing a disservice to the public if we sold the meadow for commercial.
Mr. Doyle agreed, stating we should dispose of invaluable parcels now and
consider more important ones such as this later. Mr. Moore agreed that we
should delay action on this important parcel.
Mr. Loehr inquired about the status of the 4.5 acre parcel on the shortcut
we wished to convey by some means to the Recreation District, and Mr. Doyle
said that Mr. Paulus was writing Attorney Chamberlain regarding a long term
lease rather than a sale. Mr. Stone felt the lease for this 4.5 acres. should
rum concurrently with the lease on the other park property and that the
Recreation District should be granted the authority to construct singly or
jointly an access road as determined by them into their property.
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Moore and seconded by Mr. Loehr
to adjourn. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at S:2 2 P.M.

MR. WAYNE RI C HARDSON, PENSION PLAN - CONTINUED
Board that Mr. Cattan be left out of the current plan due to the fact that he
was within 1-2 years of actual retirement. This would require a large expendi-
ture immediately or liability to be paid off many years in the future. Because
of that situation, at the time a plan is adopted, the District could agree
with him to pay him when they mutually agreed for his retirement the money or
retirement payment which is contained in the basic plan. (Or the same amount
the formula calls for had he been eligible.) In this way at the time he would
retire, they could pay him direct month by month a retirement which would be
tax free and handled like a payroll check for a retired employee, paid as long
as he lives. This would constitute adequate retirement payment. Mr. Richardson
recommends this expenditious method of handling this matter as it is fair and
equitable. This would not require a large outlay from the district at one time.
However, employees over 60 can be included if desired. A fixed guarantee on the
principal would be 4 1/2% for 5 years, 4% for the next 5 years and 3 1/2% there-
after. With a variable plan, there is no guarantee. A plan can be half fixed,
half variable. The pension formula is integrated with social security, and
there is guaranteed benefits to the employees. Optional survivor benefits are
offered, and your investment and annuity are flexible. The plan is flexible to
fit labor, economic and social conditions. Mr. Richardson recommends a modifi-
cation of the pension plan every 5 years, and the Board can change this plan as
it wishes. Personal local service is available through Mr. Richardson, whose home
office is in Sacramento. He services 5 districts in this immediate area including
Reno as well as 20 other districts. A new plan called an employee contributing
deductible plan is available. Contributions by the employee are 3% (pay reduc-
tion) , by the District 6%. The employee can indicate how much he wants invested.
The monthly retirement pay is not a set figure and depends on the pay each year
and length and time of plan. Sex also determines monthly pension amounts since
females live longer than males. The annuity may be fixed or variable in this
new plan. The cost of operation is 8 3/4% and covers administration, Quality and
services. There is also a management and annuity fee. The investments are in
blue chip and similar stocks. Mr. Richardson said he will be glad to design a
•—� plan to fit our needs. Mr. Doyle thanked Mr. Richardson for his presentation ,
and the Board will take it under advisement.
TAHOE DONNER FACILITIES
Mr. Cattan met with Mr. Damavandi and his engineers yesterday regarding power
lines. Lakeworld will pay for all underground except transformers and a trench
will be dug to accommodate all utilities except sewer. There are 5 miles of
overhead power line, and the District will begin installation Monday except for
insulators as there is still blasting in the area. All water and sewer will be
installed in the middle of the road for accessibility during the winter. There
will be a 4" conduit for power, 4" for prone, 2" for cable TV and 10" for water.
The trench will be 3' 6" wide and every 400' there will be a pull box. Lakeworld
will pay for all cable and labor and provide the concrete pads. Mr. Ingram,
contractor for Lakeworld, will provide us with 4 copies of a subdivision map, one
copy which will go to our consulting underground engineer to mark and manholes
which will be 4' long, 3' wide in the middle of a private road. The District will
provide laterals for future condominiums. Security lights will also be installed
near the 7 garages for occupants of the condominiums. The contractor for this
project plans to install 500' a day of water and sewer pipe, and he may go to two
shifts. The phone crew from Sacramento installs poles and cables the same time
but needs level ground for this equipment. Mr. Grow, Union Steward, mentioned
that the IBEW had advised him it would be unwise to cross any picket lines during
the Teamsters,strike.
i
NEVADA COUNTY RESOLUTION REGARDING INSPECTION OF ON SITE FACILITIES
Mr. Doyle mentioned that he understood Nevada County passed a resolution on
August 3 authorizing them to be able to contract with us and the Sanitary District
regarding inspection of the Tahoe Donner project. It was his understanding that
if this contract is put into effect, and we should enter into negotiations with
the county, 3% of the project could go to county coffers. He also understood the
Sanitary District had a special board meeting and vetoed the whole resolution.
Mr. Doyle feels this District should follow suit and mentioned that as yet we have
not had the courtesy of being sent a copy of this resolution. Mr. Doyle feels
the money should not go to Nevada City when we need it here in Truckee. He
suggested the possibility of going in jointly with the Sanitary District and
hiring an inspector if this becomes necessary. Mr. Doyle again expressed his amaze-
ment that the county would enact this program without consulting the districts
involved, and mentioned he had questioned his local supervisor about this resolution,
and the supervisor knew nothing. Mr. Doyle urged all board members to investigate
this matter for discussion- at the next meeting.

AUGUST 171 19 71 - CONTINUED
DONNER LAKE SUBSTATION
Mr. Cattan informed the Board that almost all the footings and formwork are
completed, this work being the most difficult part of the project. The steel
left Oregon a week ago by truck and should arrive soon. Sierra Pacific will
tap the incoming structure and perform the steel work. Harker and Harker was
subsequently contacted for the 1500' of primary line and will do the work next
week with construction to be completed in 10 days, The District will pay
Harker and Harker direct to save the 20% override to Sierra Pacific. The state
plans to request underground service from this substation to their interchange
next year.
1972 PERSONNEL
This subject will be discussed after the strike is settled.
RESOLUTION 7117, UNION CONTRACT
The union sent us the copies of the final contract, but two pages have to be
retyped.
RESOLUTION 710 8, WATER SERVICE TO CONDOMINIUMS, LODGES AND CLUBS (DRAFT)
The proposed resolution was read into the minutes and is almost identical to
Resolution 7021 except for a few minor changes. The board generally felt it was
more advisable to amend 7021 than to have another resolution. This matter will
be tabled until the next regular meeting so that an amendment to 7021 may be
writ ten.
MANAGER'S REPORT
Mr. Cattan presented a report indicating he has worked 41 hours on weekends on
the construction of the Donner Lake Substation and Donner Memorial Park, The
Board agreed he was entitled to a week of compensatory time off this winter.
A motion was made by MR. Anderson and seconded by Mr. Moore that the Manager
be allowed compensatory time off for these hours worked on weekends. All ayes.
i;
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Moore
to adjourn. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at 10:13 P.M.

BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
Mr. Moore questioned the price of concrete from Twin States stating that he was
t able to secure a price of $21 (6 sack) rather than the $26 (6sack) the District paid.
Mr. Cattan said he could only contact this company, that the other quotes were $28.
The overtime was attributed to the formwork on Saturdays at the Donner Lake Substation.
The bill for Valley Engineers is for underground work at Donner State Park. No
further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Moore that
the bills be paid as listed, a copy of which is part of these minutes.

i
MR. JIM BUNELL, NEW ENGLAND LIFE, PENSION PLAN
Mr. Bunnell is a broker representing many companies and will present pension plans
from both Bankers Life and Travelers. The first plan is a combination insurance
�- and investment plan with a death benefit and cash values combined with investment
provide a pension, which can be drawn out at retirement in an annuity in cash or
monthly payments. Mr. Bunnell feels a better plan would be a "Deposit Administrative
Plan" where one deposits money and the company administers it. He stated the expenses
are heavy in a combination plan, that permanent life insurance has high commissions,
but 4 1/2% - 5% can be realized on investment money. In the Deposit Administrative
plan, 100% of the money goes to investment with a guaranteed 7 1/2% interest.
Mr. Bunnell emphasized that this interest factor is very important. Health, insurance
and disability can be tied in with any pension plan. Recommendations are that eligi-
bility can be tied in with any pension plan. Recommendations are that eligibility
be 1 year with age 2 S but not over 56. The pension plan is based on 40% of the average
salary for the last 5 years plus social security. Employee contributions are flexible,
but generally an employee contributes 3% but not more than 6%. If an employee termi-
nates before retirement, this pension plan acts as a savings plan. The death benefit
is 50 X proposed pension amount. Costs are figured in 4 1/2% with 7% guaranteed for
2 years and 6 1/2% for 3 years. This plan will pay whatever fund that this goes into
is earning, that they have always been able to pay in excess of guarantees. The cost
I is determined as if payments were being made the employee would have become eligible
had the plan been in effect. For a 40% pension, the normal cost is based on a
$10 3,000 payroll for 10 employees or $8,887/year. If the employee contrib utes, this
defrays the district's cost accordingly. The maximum cost is $37,960 which can be
amortized out or paid interest on. The idea of a pension plan is flexibility. The
District can increase, decrease or skip payments. High interest holds cost to a
minimum.. Association plans are available but are inflexible. Flexible plans give
local control. Mr. Bunnell recommends an investment plan. Mr. Doyle thanked
j ,...., Mr. Bunnell for his presentation and said the District will give it due consideration.
DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER BID AWARD
The bids were opened at the August 3 meeting and taken under advisement by the Manager
at the direction of the Board. Mr. Cattan recommends the bid be awarded to the lowest
bidder as the specifications are in order. No further discussion, a motion was made
by Mr. Stone and seconded by Mr. Loehr that the Distribution Transformer Bid be awarded
i to RTE for $10,214.00.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle. So ordered.

No bids submitted.
RECREATION DISTRICT, 4.S ACRES, BROCKWAY/MEADOW PARK
The August 11 and 12 letters from Attorney Paul Chamberlain regarding this subject
were read by President Doyle. Mr. Cattan feels the District should retain a por-
tion of the Meadow Park land behind the office for future expansion. Mr. Moore
mentioned that the property owned by Mrs. Popovich makes it impossible for any
property to tie in directly with the present property, that a portion we would
conceivably hold would be isolated. Mr. Loehr thought the Meadow Park area was
to be entirely for recreation, and Mr. Anderson and Mr. Moore agreed that there
should not be any commercial behind the present office building. Mr. Stone felt
the Meadow Park site should be held in abeyance as the Recreation District has
begun to provide fill for the area and that the 4.S acre parcel on Brockway should
be given top priority at this time.
Mr. Stone moved that his motion of July 20, 1971 to give a grant deed for $1 to
the Recreation District for the 4.S acre swamp on Brockway be withdrawn. Mr. Moore
withdrew his original second and seconded Mr. Stone's present motion.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
As of this motion, the Meadow Park site remains within the lease to the Recreation
District, and the 4.5 acres on Brockway remain as property of the utility district.
Mr. Stone further moved that the 4.S acre swamp on Highway 267 be granted to the
Recreation District Linder a long term lease to be identical and running contiguous
with the lease on the Meadow Park property. Mr. Moore seconded the motion.
ROLL CALL: Moore,, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
Mr. Doyle stated that the Recreation District will have their attorney draw up -=+-
the lease.
RESOLUTION 7109, SURPLUS LAND, 120 ACRES ADJACENT TO LAKEWORLD
Mr. Cattan mentioned that the quit claim deed signed by Mrs. Eve Popovich and
which clears the title regarding an old option on this land, has not yet been
recorded. This matter will be tabled until the next regular meeting.
OLYMPIC HEIGHTS, UNIT 3
The developer, Mr. Jim Myer, has 89 lots to be recorded very soon. Both Dan Cook
and Mr. Cattan informed Mr. Myer that he will have to provide SOO gallons storage
per lot or $8,000 for storage based on 20�/gallon and water source of $SO/lot
based on Resolution 7006 or $12,000. These 89 lots can be supplied by existing
tanks in the area of Sierra Meadows, Forest Service, etc. and the developer will
not be required to build a tank as he does not have the elevation for a tank in
his area. The developer, however, will be required to pay cash for water source
and storage to defray the cost of the 2nd Tonini Tank which will serve his area
also. The developer has plans approved by the District in 1966 and may be
required to enlarge his water lines in the future to conform with the master plan.
Discussion ensued regarding servicing this subdivision from the well dug for
Trimont.
(A S minute recess was called at this time.)
MR. WAYNE RICHARDSON, PENSION PLAN, EXECUTIVE/EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Mr. Richardson recommends a flexible plan with minimum age 2S with retirement at
6S. In a fixed plan, the plan consists of 20% of the first $400 of pay plus 40%
of excess over $400/month. The pay is reduced for service less than 20 years.
The pay average is over the highest S years. One can elect monthly payments for
life or optional cash payment. Employee contributions are 2% of the first $400
and 4% over $400. Voluntary contribution is optional. The death benefit is also
optional and is 7S x monthly retirement pay. An interest assumption of 6% for
debit calculations is used. Rights on termination are (1) rate of any required
contributions plus S% interest; (2) percentage of value of benefits. For
employees over 60 years of age, Mr. Richardson recommends paying retirement bene-
fits as cash out of pocket or what he would have had if he was in the plan.
However, employees over 60 can be included if desired. He suggested to the

RETIREMENT
Mr. Paulus objected to paying the $600 membership fee to NRECA to join their plan,
stating that NRECA always had to go to Washington for answers. He reconmiended the
Cal West plan but felt we should investigate their "management consultant fee".
Regarding the New England plan, Mr. Paulus deducted that nearly $9,000 would be
in reserve for the first year of the plan. Mr. Moore felt the last two plans were
more beneficial to the employees than the NRECA plan. The Board agreed that we
should contact Cal West to obtain their plan in writing for submittal to the
employees.
PROGRESS REPORT, WATER TANKS
Ponderosa Palisades: Tank is completed, only the pipeline remains to be constructed.
Sierra Meadows: Tank is 3/4 completed. Approximately three days more construction.
2nd Tonini: Pad is ready.
Prosser Lakeview Estates: Poured foundation. Tank will be started soon.
Discussion ensued regarding the 3" pipeline to the Ponderosa Palisades Tank.
PROGRESS REPORT, SUBSTATION
j All steel work has been completed. The water crew worked last Saturday and Monday
on the form work for the transformer and regulator pads, which will be poured
tomorrow. The pots will arrive on the 15th. Sierra Pacific will set the switch
so that the feed will come from back uphill or from Truckee. The poles and wires
are up. We have yet to erect the fence and do the grounding as well as level up.
The substation construction is progressing well and completion is expected the
i end of October.
PROGRESS REPORT, OVEM-EEAD LINE., TAHOE DONNER
Sixty-four (6 4) _pole holes have been excavated and three (3) remain. The other
half of the pole work will be accomplished by Pacific Telephone when the access
road is completed. Teichert is working two shifts. No poles have been set but
have been distributed. It was noted the District will provide water to Tahoe
Donner when the Donner Trails Tank is completed by the developer.
E
TEICHERT MIXING PLANT
Electrical service has been requested by Teichert for a hot mix plant which will
be in operation approximately 3 years to serve the Tahoe Donner facility. Teichert
will pay for the line which will require 7 poles.
j RESOLUTION 7122, ACCEPTANCE OF LEASE FOR 4.5 ACRES, BROCKWAY SHORTCUT
This lease has been approved by the Board, and the Modification of Lease Agreement
prepared by the Recreation District is in order. No further discussion, a motion
was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone that the District adopt Resolution
7122 authorizing the President and Secretary to sign the Lease to the Truckee
Donner Park and Recreation District for the 4.5 acres on the Brockway Shortcut,
J this lease to run concurrently with the Meadow Park Lease.

Mr. Moore asked Dr. Tapia how the condominiums on the Shane property would affect
the regional park. He replied a buffer zone between the rodeo grounds and condo-
miniums has been provided. Mr. Doyle mentioned that McKeon, builders of these 200
condominiums, is the second largest home builder in the United States. No further
discussion, Dr. Tapia thanked the Board and left.
li MANAGER S REPORT
j 1. The construction crew for Thornton's broke our water line 1 as t week and service
was interrupted for 45 minutes. Mr. Cattan mentioned that the District will
I have to install another gate valve when time permits so that we don't have to
shut off the whole town when a break occurs. Mr. Loehr said he would like to
see the money from land sales earmarked to improve the town's water system.
Mr. Cattan said that is scheduled for next year as this year we are completing
our water storage tanks which will suffice from 5 - 10 years. Discussion ensued
j regarding news items in the newspaper and on the radio regarding PUD construc-
tion projects.

MANAGER'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
2. Mr. Cattan mentioned that he is working with Lakeworld regarding payment by
them for source and storage in cash rather than in bonds so that the District
will have funds to build the substation in Tahoe Donner.
3. Mr. Paulus mentioned that the map depicting the 120 acres of surplus land
adjacent to Lakeworld has to show the Lakeworld road purchase before this land
can be put to bid. This deed has been recorded by Lakeworld.
4. The painting of the office and warehouse has been completed, and a new door
in the warehouse was necessary. The District spent $6 8 more than was anti-
cipated.
S. The Union Contract cannot be finalized as the section on "Standbys' must be
corrected.
6. A letter has been directed to the Office of Emergency Preparedness regarding
the pending electrical monthly minimum increase from $3 to $S.
7. We have again requested the Fire District to return the signed Hydrant Agree-
ment.
8. The District has been requested to sign a petition from the property owners
in Donner Lake in the Lakeview Subdivision to give 7 1/2' so that a 40' road
may be granted, 20' of which will be paved. The Board authorized Mr. Paulus
to sign this petition.
9. Discussion ensued regarding the termination of Floyd Burdick. Management
regretted this action but felt it was in the best interests of the District.
HILLTOP
Mr. Moore asked the Board to reconsider the problem of the Hilltop property, that
the District should trade a portion of the Meadow Park property for Hilltop, if
this is feasible, so that the Hilltop property may be reclaimed for recreation.
He feels this property should have priority over the Donner Lake proposed beach
because there is other swimming available at Donner Memorial Park. It was noted
that Mr. Herzog may not sell the Hilltop property until the lapse of the lease
or in approximately 1S years. Mr. Moore said we should find out if we can trade
properties with Mr. Herzog, that we have an obligation to the people of this
district to correct the misdirected actions of prior board members concerning the
sale of the Hilltop property. Mr. Doyle agreed Mr. Moore's suggestion is timely
now that we are considering the sale of the 120 acres adjacent to Lakeworld.
Mr. Stone felt we should file a suit against Herzog for violating the contract,
refund his $40,000 and take title to it. It was noted that this matter had
already been referred to Paul Chamberlain and in his opinion the District had
no recourse as far as the contract was concerned. Chairman Doyle directed the
Board to give this matter serious consideration.
President Doyle recessed the regular meeting at 9:57 P.M. and an Executive Session
was called and reconvened at 10:18.

ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. Motion carried.
SECURITY LIGHT, WILLIAM MCJRPHY/MR. & MRS. PLEICH
Mr. Murphy stated he has had the problem of the Pleich's security light shining
` into his bedroom window for over a year. He requested a shield on their light,
one was installed, later trimmed and finally removed at the request of the Pleich's.
Mr. Murphy has consulted the PUC and PG & E in this matter. He finally called
President Doyle and requested the shield to be reinstalled, stating that some-
thing should-be done to stop the light from shining into his bedroom. Mr. Murphy
-- invited the Board to inspect the light. Mr. Moore felt the problem appeared to
be between property owners. Mr. Pleich stated he requested the light to be
installed at the recommendation of the Sheriff's Office after a series of attempted
burglaries and prowlers on or near his property. He stated Mr. Murphy's house is
120' away and that his bedroom is on the opposite side of the house, that no other
neighbors object to this light. Mr. Pleich said Mrs. Murphy informed him they
could forget about the problem of the light as the Murphy's had obtained a window
shade, that Mr. Pleich thought the problem was solved. Mr. Pleich said he received
a copy of the letter Mr. Murphy wrote to the board and thought it childish.
Mr. Pleich explained he had the shield removed because half of his property was
dark, that this was his privilege as he is paying the rent on this light, that
Mr. Murphy is the biggest crybaby in Donner Lake. Mr. Cattan suggested venetian
b 1 inds which let air through. Mr. Paulus stated a ready-made shield is not
available for this type of light. Mr. Doyle felt the District has an obligation
to the contract holder, that this problem is minor considering the District has
much more important problems to consider, that management will turn this matter
over to legal counsel. Mr. Murphy stated that, in defense of his character, he
is a member of the Donner Lake Property Owners Association, past president and
presently Treasurer. Discussion ensued regarding repositioning the light, and
Mr. Pleich said he would have no objection to this. Mr. Stone thought the
neighbors would welcome this light in this time of violence in our nation.
Mr. Pleich reiterated that the light should protect his property as originally
intended. Mr. Doyle mentioned there were 11 burglaries on the west end of Donner
Lake in one day, that a security light is a valuable asset. The District will
reposition this light when the work schedule permits.
COUNTY RESOLUTION 71139, ON-SITE AND OFF-SITE SEWAGE & WATER FACILITIES INSPECTION,
TAHOE DONNER SUBDIVISION
The September 8th letter from Dan Cook recommending the Utility District accept
this resolution was presented. Mr. Cattan explained that 3 o is allotted for
inspection. He stated the county is specifying special backfill around the water
and sewer pipes so the road won't sink, that the county is interested in inspec-
tion because these facilities are under the road. Mr. Moore felt that no matter
what is in the road, it is still part of the county inspection because it is sub
grade. Mr. Cattan felt we could not inspect our water facilities better than the
County, that we would still retain the right to inspect their inspection.

SEPTEMBER 7, 1971 - CONTINUED
COUNTY RESOLUTION 71139 (CONTINUED)
Mr. Loehr felt the county did not give adequate inspection nor any accounting
of monies. Mr. Cattan felt the county has all the equipment to make these
checks, that he recommends the District have the county do the inspection.
Mr. Moore felt the District should have its own inspection. Mr. Doyle read
portions of the agreement, indicating that the Nevada County Department of Public
Works would collect all fees. Mr. Moore felt we should consult with the Sanitary
District. Mr. Loehr asked what the total amount of money is for the Tahoe Donner
project? Discussion ensued as to what constituted "off-site" facilities, that
this is a broad term. Mr. Loehr then moved that this matter be turned over to
legal counsel. Mr. Stone agreed, saying that he thought we were talking about
$200,000. Mr. Loehr felt the county should perform the inspection only because
they already have the money. Mr. Moore questioned the legality of this procedure.
Mr. Loehr explained that an improvement district was formed. It was noted the
Board had no knowledge of the "Subdivision Improvement Agreement" referred to in
this county resolution. Mr. Stone suggested turning this matter over to
Mr. McDonough. It was again noted that the Sanitary District turned down this
agreement with the county. Mr. Moore seconded Mr. Loehr's previous motion that
Nevada County Resolution 71139 be submitted to legal counsel for further study.
All ayes.
RESOLUTION 7120, BID OPENING, SURPLUS LAND, 1.49 ACRES, BROCKWAY SHORTCUT
One bid was received from William F. Warmke s s e l, Box 1057, Truckee, in the amount
of $151050 accompanied by a cashier's check for $1,650. The minimum price on
this property is $14,000. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Stone
and seconded by Mr. Loehr that the District accept Dr. Warmkessel's bid in the
amount of $15,0 50 for the 1.49 acres on Highway 267. Mr. Loehr seconded the
motion.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. Motion carried.
RESOLUTION 7121, AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION 70 21, WATER SERVICE FOR MULTIPLE FAMILY
DWELLINGS SUCH AS CONDOMINIUMS, APARTMENTS, SKI LODGES (C04ERCIAL OR PRIVATE) ETC.
This resolution was discussed previously, and as requested, was revised to include
condominiums and ski lodges. The resolution was reviewed and Mr. Doyle felt it
is in order. He mentioned that the Fire District had recently been informed of
a 200-unit condominium complex on the Shane property. No further discussion, a
motion was made by Mr. Moore that the District adopt Resolution 7121, Establishing
Terms and Conditions for Water Supply to Multiple Family Dwellings; i.e. , Apart-
ments, Motels, Condominiums, Ski Clubs, Lodges, etc. Mr. Loehr seconded the motion.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So ordered.
OLYMPIC HEIGHTS, UNIT 3
Mr. Jim Mayer is the developer of these 80 lots and has his own financing.
Mr. Mayer representing Cal Prop Corporation in Los Angeles accepted the terms of
the District for water and electrical services as evidenced in his letter of
August 27, a copy of which is part of these minutes. Mr. Loehr mentioned the
developer should be charged the standard 7 o interest on his note, and the Board
agreed. The District will accept Mr. Mayer's method of payment for water facilities
for Olympic Heights, Unit 3 and will direct a letter to him to this effect. Discus-
sion ensued regarding the enlarging of the water line feeding Olympic Heights,
that this will be the responsibility of the District.
BACKHOE PURCHASE
At present the District is paying $735/month rent on a new backhoe from .U.S. Leasing
in Sacramento. The District may purchase this Case backhoe, which is larger than
ours, for $12,000 allowing $2100 (3 months rental) or $9,900. However, if the
District wishes to purchase this backhoe now, the price is $11,000 minus $700
(1 month rental) or $10,300. Mr. Cattan mentioned that our water foreman feels
a new backhoe is necessary at this time. Mr. Loehr suggested turning in the old
one, but Mr. Cattan said we should keep it for standby because it would not be
worth much as trade in, that both the water and electric crews need a backhoe.
Mr. Loehr mentioned the county purchasing policy on these rental/purchase agreements,
and the Board directed Management to investigate this and report at the next meeting.
Mr. Moore suggested checking Sierra Machinery in Reno for their plan.

BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
Mr. Cattan explained the overtime, stating that weekends had to be worked at the
substation because Sierra Pacific personnel were working during the week, and the
backhoe was available only on weekends. The Teichert substation also necessitated
overtime as they requested service within two days. Teichert has made their crane
available to the District at any time. The District is still one lineman short
and is hoping to obtain one soon who will be a permanent resident of Truckee. No
further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone that
the bills be paid as listed, a copy of which is part of these minutes,
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
RESOLUTION 7124, PENSION PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES
As stipulated in the current working agreement, the District is considering a
pension plan for employees. Mr. Wayne Richardson, Cal-Western States Life Insur-
ance Company, was present to explain the final plan requested by the Board for
consideration at this time. Mr. Richardson explained that the plan is basically
,•-r, the same he presented approximately one month ago. There is an insured death
benefit and minimum benefit. The cost is $270/mo. rather than the $249/mo. as
originally estimated. This plan has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service.
All benefits are provided at age 65 and are based on basic earnings averaged on
the highest 5 years salary. The District will be contributing $2 70.18/month and
the employees $211.50/month for a total of $481.68/month. The minimum service
is 20 years, and the ceiling is $240/month plus social security. The pension
plan will be reviewed every January. The waiting period is one year and an
employee must be 25 but not over 60. Upon termination before 20 years, the
employee's contribution is returned to him with 5% interest. Benefits are
computed on basic earnings only, not on overtime or standby. If an employee
wishes a larger retirement, he may contribute more each month. The Board may
place the District's money into equities:and that is the recommendation of
Mr. Richardson. The plan is calculated on 6% and will be adjusted every 3 years.
There is a guarantee of 4 1/2% for 5 years, 4% for the next 5 years, and 3 1/2%
for lifetime of the contract. An employee does not have to join, but Mr. Richard-
son recommends that the Board adopt a policy that employees be required to join
the pension plan within a specified time. Mr. Paulus mentioned he will supply
all the details of this plan to the union and that 80% of the employees will
have to join to be able to have this plan. Mr. Stone suggested that an employee
! be required to join this plan by their second anniversary date, and it was agreed
by the Board that this will be a District policy. No further discussion, a
motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Moore that Resolution 7124,
Pension Plan for Employees, be adopted.
E ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
Motion carried. So ordered.
RESOLUTION 71-139 OF NEVADA COUNTY, INSPECTION, TAHOE DONNER
i
As requested by the Board, Mr. Cattan directed a letter to legal counsel asking
for clarification on the definition of "off-site" facilities. The answer from
Paul Chamberlain dated September 17, 1971 was read. Mr. Cattan mentioned the
Donner Lake pumping station will be inspected by the State Health Department as
well as by Dan Cook and himself. It was noted that the county stopped Teichert
from using fill with stones over 4" in the trenches, indicating that the county
is performing this inspection well. Since the District is awaiting comments
from County Counsel Leo Todd, no action will be taken on this matter this evening.

BID FOR FENCE, DONNER LAKE SUBSTATION
A quote from Paul Tholl Fence Company in the amount of $2,59 3 has been obtained,
and material in this amount must be put to bid. Specifications were submitted
for this 7' high chain link fence similar to the fence around the Truckee
Substation. Discussion ensued regarding the snow load in the Donner Lake area
and how chain link fencing would withstand the drifts, etc. Mr. Cattan was
directed to check with the Division of Highways regarding their specifications
for chain link fence. It was noted REA won't accept wooden fences, Mr. Anderson
moved and Mr. Loehr seconded that the Manager call for bids for the fence around
the Donner Lake Substation.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye,
RESOLUTION 7117, UNION CONTRACT FINALIZATION

May 1, 1971 relative to the working agreement between this District and the
employees, a copy of which is part of these minutes.

I
office building and they are willing to pay $85,000. It was noted no letter
to this effect has been received by the District as of this date.
At 8:42, President Doyle called an executive session. The pension plan for the

Cattan, Manager, a monthly Retirement Benefit equal to the formal Plan
adopted for all other employees of the District.

The regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public
Utility District was called to order by President Doyle at 7:30 P.M. in the
conference room.
ROLL CALL: Moore, present; Anderson, present; Stone, present; Loehr, present;
Doyle, present.
i
GUESTS PRESENT: Dr. William Warmkessel.
EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Cattan,- Paulus, Grow, Silva, Reynolds, Bliss.
No errors, omissions or corrections, the minutes of September 21, 1971 were
approved as written.
BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
Discussion ensued regarding the cost of the Donner Lake Substation, and it was
noted the original estimate to REA was $120,000. No further discussion, a motion
was made by Mr. Stone and seconded by Mr. Moore that the bills be paid as listed,
a copy of which is part of these minutes.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
FENCE BID OPENING, DONNER LAKE SUBSTATION
Due notice having been published, only one bid was submitted:
THOLL FENCE CO., SPARKS, NEVADA: $2,593.00 w/top rail or
$2,547.92 w/galy. cable
i This bid was computed to be $8.40/foot including concrete. It was noted the
Division of Highways uses cable for heavy snow loads. No further discussion, a
motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Moore that the District accept
I the bid of $2,547.92 from Tholl Fence Company for the Donner Lake Substation.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
REQUEST TO BID TAHOE DONNER SUBSTATION
{
Considering only the commercial facilities requiring 1S00 HP at present, as well
as water and sewer booster pumps, a substation will be required in the Tahoe Donner
area. The District cannot supply the proposed 188 condominiums without this new
substation, and it was noted 22 condominiums are now under construction. Since
material for substations require 9 months for delivery, Mr. Cattan is requesting
authorization to proceed with the bid for this substation and to negotiate with
Lakeworld for payment of the cost of this substation from the $216,000 for 6,000
l
lots. In preliminary discussion last week, Mr. Damavandi indicated that Lakeworld
would be agreeable to advancing $75,000=$80,000 to order materials for the substa-
tion in early winter 1971 for delivery in May 1972, providing the District will
guarantee that if any money is needed for extensions, the District will guarantee
j it. The Tahoe Donner Substation will be nearly the same as the Donner Lake Substa-
tion. Mr. Moore inquired if the District will be penalized by Sierra Pacific for
another point of delivery if Lakeworld doesn't develop? Mr. Cattan said no.
E Mr. Moore also inquired if the District can supply the mill, other present industries
f— as well as future industries. Mr. Cattan replied yes, mentioning that the District
will order a spare transformer in case of failure at either the Donner Lake or Tahoe
Donner Substations. Quotes should be obtained this November for ordering in December.
The $2163,000 from any money left over can be used by the District for any purpose.
Mr. Cattan explained there is no limit to the amount of power supplied from Sierra
Pacific, but a letter to this effect will be obtained from Sierra Pacific for the
files. Mr. Moore suggested there may be a possibility that the District may be
able to negotiate for a better price on power with this new substation. Mr. Cattan
i said he would check with Attorney McDonough. The Board authorized the Manager to
proceed with the Tahoe Donner Substation.

October S. 1971 Page 111
OCTOBER 5, 1971 - CONTINUED
DR. WILLIAM WARMKEESSEL, 1.49 ACRES, BROCKWAY
Dr. Warmkessel explained that he purchased the property to build an office,
donating the other half to the church. He feels the survey by the District is
in error, that he did not buy the property he thought he was buying and that
the property sold to him is unsuitable for his purposes. He feels the District
sold him a portion of property within the 1.49 acres that the District did not
have title to. He therefore requests approximately 3/4 acre west of the 1.49
acres (with an additional 200' frontage) so that he will have enough land for ---
the office and church. It was noted Dan Cook's surveyor feels the survey is
correct. Mr. Cattan explained that surveyors calculate the area by triangulation.
Mr. Doyle said the District must assume at this point that everything is legal
and in order unless the surveyor says he made a mistake. Mr. Stone felt the
land was not suitable for the doctor's purposes, that the sale should be cancelled
and the land rebid. Many of the board members felt the District should obtain a
legal opinion first. Mr. Doyle agreed that something might be worked out on the
extra 2001 , but that all documents relating to the sale would be binding.
Directors Stone and Loehr said they would like to see the survey stakes in
question. President Doyle declared the matter tabled, pending an opinion from
legal counsel, the statement in writing from the surveyor and personal inspection
of the stakes by Director Stone.
SUBDIVISIONS WITH 2 1/2 ACRE LOTS
A 340-acre parcel immediately adjacent to Prosser Heights bordering on Lakeworld
will be subdivided into 2 1/2 acre lots. Mr. Cattan explained that these large
lots require long power and water lines, along with high maintenance costs. He
does not recommend policy 7006 on water for these large lots. Rather he recommends
formulating a new water policy for source and storage for 2 l/2 and 10 acre parcels.
The Board agreed and requested the Manager to formulate a draft policy regarding
source and storage for large lots.
REA FIELD ENGINEER, MR. LEARY _....,
Mr. Leary visited Truckee last week and inspected the Donner Lake Substation with i
Mr. Cattan. He was very satisfied with our progress and suggested grounding the
steel pads by the switches for safety. The Tahoe Donner Substation was also
discussed with Mr. Leary.
COUNTY RESOLUTION 71-139, INSPECTION, TAHOE DONNER
Mr. Vern Strobel from the Department of Public Works explained to Mr. Cattan that
this resolution was formulated by the supervisors who added the term "off-site's
facilities which they intended to mean the two access roads. However, the District
is still awaiting an explanation from county counsel. Mr. Doyle suggested the
county be specific and say "the two access roads' rather than "off-site facilities".
ORDINANCE 71-25, RETIRIlMENT FOR MANAGER
This Ordinance was prepared by legal counsel and was discussed at the last meeting.
After revision relating to the deletion of death benefits, a motion was made by
Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Anderson that Ordinance 71-25, Retirement Plan for
Manager, be adopted.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
It was noted this plan refers specifically to Manager Cattan and not to managers
in general. --•
MANAGER'S REPORT
1. The Donner Lake Substation is nearly completed except for grounding, the fence
and minor details. Sierra Pacific will set our metering the first of the week.
An underground line to the first pole using 4" rigid steel pipe will be
completed to join the existing line. The trench has already been dug. RTE
will test its transformers before energizing. The insulation of the neutral
will be amended.
Page 112 October 5, 1971
OCTOBER 5, 1971 - CONTINUED
MANAGER'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
2. The Manager stated he was happy to report that the present electrical crew
was doing an excellent job; however, the District is advertising for an
additional lineman to complement this crew.
3. An underground cable to supply power to an additional building and approach
lights at the airport will be constructed soon. The Airport District has
advanced $5,000 toward.this project.
4. The Division of Highways has requested an estimate of the cost of water and
power to serve the proposed Truckee Roadside Rests on I-80 1/2 mile from 89.
A letter has been directed to them indicating that this estimate would be
provided in December, mentioning that since construction was not scheduled
until 1974, that the cost of power and water would be considerably less when
development occurred in that area than when there is no development and long
lines had to be constructed.
5. Director Anderson inquired about the fluctuation of power in the Donner Trails
Subdivision, and the office will check into this matter.
i
i
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Moore
to adjourn. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at 9:42 P.M.

The regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public
Utility District was called to order by President Doyle at 7:30 P.M. in the
conference room.

EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Cattan, Paulus, Silva, Reynolds, Archer, Bliss.
No errors, omissions or corrections, the minutes of October S, 1971 were approved

BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
The bill for Cook & Associates was explained; namely that engineering inspection
is made, but these costs in turn are passed on to the developer along with a 20%
general overhead charge, in accordance with our resolution regarding engineering
review of maps. The overtime was necessitated by work on a Saturday on the
Tahoe Donner power line. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Moore
and seconded by Mr. Loehr that the bills be paid as listed, a copy of which is
part of these minutes.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
k DONNER LAKE SUBSTATION
Sierra Pacific installed the primary structures, and the lower side is our share.
Switching at this substation was provided, eliminating 6 miles of line from the
Truckee Substation. Sierra Pacific Power Company was to construct the line and
switch structure, but being busy, they asked Harker & Harker, their contractor,
'—` to do the work and bill us directly. If they paid Harker & Harker, then they
will have to charge us an overhead.
- Harker & Harker also constructed our steel work, hence the bill presented for
payment tonight. Their work also includes high and low tension structure. The
fencing will be started in a few days when ground leveling is completed.
RESOLUTION 7127, EASEMENT, BROCKWAY, DR. HERB KEITH
Dr. Herb Keith is the owner of the Village Green Trailer Park, is interested in
purchasing a 177' X 330' triangular piece of land in addition to a SO' Sierra
Pacific power line easement adjacent to his land, and has offered the District
$59000. Sierra Pacific will retain the right to the easement. This land is
approximately S/8 of an acre including right-of-way. This property is desirable
to Dr. Keith as it adjoins his mobile hoarse park. It was felt by all concerned
that this property would be undesirable to anyone else. The proposed resolution
declaring the land surplus was read by President Doyle. Discussion ensued
regarding the effect of the sale of this property on surrounding proposed uses.
It was generally felt a proposed extension of the road easement provided Dr. Warm-
kessel should be investigated. A motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by
Mr. Moore that Resolution 7127 be tabled pending a physical inspection of the
property-
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
DR. WILLIAM WARMCESSEL
The District has been advised by legal counsel that the sale of the 1.49 acres
to Dr. Warmkessel is legal and binding. Director Stone made an inspection of the
survey stakes and believes Dr. Warmkessel mistook a RCE stake for a LS stake.
Dr. Warmkessel also looked at a map at the county whereon the land sold to Ray
Brown was still in the name of this District. Mr. Stone said the surveyor does
not always stake and flag. Mr. Stone feels our survey is a legal survey, that
Dr. Warmkessel's architect could design a church and office building for this
property, perhaps using a mutual parking lot. Mr. Stone said that if the doctor
feels that the land is not sufficient for his intended uses, perhaps the road
could be moved to the west next to a strip of trees. This would increase the
doctor's land by .S1 acre and would protect the meadow. Mr. Cattan mentioned
October 19, 1971 P4ge 116
OCTOBER 19, 19 71 - CONTINUED
DR. WI LL IAM WA RNIKESSEL - CONTINUED
that Dr. Warmkessel might lose his access road if someone else was awarded the
bid on the .S1 acres Mr. Stone also pointed out that there is some 330 cu.
yds. of crushed rock fill that has value on that land. Mr. Doyle stated it is
unfortunate this situation has arisen, but that the District has to be governed
by legal counsel, that if Dr. Warmkessel feels the surveyor has erred, he
should take legal action against the surveyor. Mr. Moore asked Dr. Warmkessel
if he felt the 1 1/2 acres wasn't enough land? Dr. Warmkessel replied it is
not the amount of land but the shape of the triangle that makes the difference.
Mr. Moore said he felt Dr. Warmkessel should have had a qualified person with
him when he was inspecting the land. Dr. Warmkessel felt the stakes should have
been visible. Mr. Doyle said the stakes were marked on the map. Discussion
ensued regarding not placing a minimum price if the .51 acres were put to bid,
and the Board agreed that legal counsel should be consulted on this matter.
Mr. Cattan suggested asking legal counsel if land can be added to an original
bid. Mr. Moore felt this could not be accomplished, as it would alter the size
of the land. President Doyle tabled this matter stating that the District will
notify Dr. Warmkessel of the opinions of legal counsel.
DONNER CREEK, SECOND PUMP
The pump which was purchased in early summer was installed last week and will be
in operation in a few days.
UNDERGROUND AT AIRPORT
The airport has requested power within 2 weeks for their new approach lights,
runway extension, etc. Since our crews are extremely busy, Harker & Harker may
install the lighting for $5,200. The District will furnish the cable and two
pots. Since time is of the essence, the Airport District will pay Harker &
Harker direct.
RESOLUTION 7126, PERMIT, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE OF ELECTRICAL FACILITIES,
DONNER MEMORIAL PARK
The signed and executed contract for the installation of these electrical faci-
lities in the park was received this morning. The state, however, has submitted
a Permit for the operation and maintenance of these facilities and requests
approval by the Board. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr
and seconded by Mr. Stone that Resolution 7126, Authorizing President and Secre-
tary to sign permit, be adopted.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
f MANAGER'S REPORT

BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
Most of the overtime was due to Fedrick & Sundt's knocking down our pole, necessi
tating lengthy repairs. The bill to Johnston Pump is consistent with the bid last
July. No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Stone and seconded by Mr.
Anderson that the bills be paid as listed, a copy of which is part of these minutes.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. So ordered.
TAHOE DONNER SUBSTATION
Preliminary quotes have been obtained on the steel structure. Manager requested
authorization to bid the transformers first because they take 7 months to manufac-
ture. The balance of the equipment for this substation can be bid in a second bid.
The Board agreed on this method of bidding. Mr. Cattan mentioned that he attended
a meeting yesterday with Planning Commission and Sanitary District officials
regarding zoning, particularly the vast number of condominiums being proposed for
this area. The District has 15-20 poles yet to install on the Tahoe Donner power
line. The telephone company will begin their installation tomorrow. Lakeworld
,�... has requested the District to string wire on the 12th. We will work with Harker &
Harker on this phase, and construction should take 7-10 days. Lakeworld's plans
j are to pave the road to their sales trailer. Residents will be transported to the
ski area by snow cats. Sewer construction should be completed within a week.
Mr. Cattan expects our power line to be completed by the end of the month.
MARTIS VALLEY ESTATES ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
Agreement for this assessment district has been referred to Paul Chamberlain and
i
revised according to his recommendation that the District be provided with as-built
reproducible tracings at no cost to the District. This subdivision is located
between the golf course and airport on the north side of Highway 267 and is comprised
of 34 lots. The District will be paid $250 for inspection. No further discussion,
a motion was made by Mr. Stone and seconded by Mr. Anderson that the President and
Manager be authorized to sign the Agreement between the County of Nevada and this
District for the Martis Valley Assessment District, whereby the District will be
provided with one set of as-built reproducible tracings at no cost to the District.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, abstain; Doyle, aye. Motion carried.
Mr Loehr abstained from all discussion and voting as he is part owner of this
subdivision.

PONDEROSA PALISADES WEST, PONDEROSA PALISADES UNIT 4
C
-- (Mr. Loehr will also abstain from this discussion as he is part owner of this
subdivision.)
Raymond Vail is the engineer for this development and was present. He requested
the Board to approve the method of payment for water source and storage for these
two subdivisions according to Resolution 7006; namely, 1/3 down, 1/3 first year and
1/3 the second year at 7 a interest. Mr. Vail explained that the checks for these
two subdivisions will come from different owners as there are some twelve principals
involved. The Board agreed in principle with this method of payment, and Mr. Vail
will provide a letter for the next meeting to this effect, so that the Board may
fformally act on this proposal.

NOVEMBER 2, 19 71 - CONTINUED
RESOLUTION 7127, EASEMENT, BROCKWAY, DR. HERB KEITH
This resolution was tabled at the last regular meeting so that a site inspection
by the Board could be made. Mr. Stone said he inspected the site and observed
that Dr. Ke ith's land would double with the purchase of this additional land
from the District. He staked out the parcel for sale and could see no future
value of this land to the District. Mr. Anderson noted that if the Sierra
Pacific easement were retained by the District, it could act as a buffer between
developments. Mr. Cattan mentioned there is no highway frontage on this parcel.
Mr. Loehr could see no use of the land for the District. No further discussion,
Mr. Loehr moved and Mr. Stone seconded that Resolution 7127, declaring certain
real property surplus and providing for the sale thereof, be adopted.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. Motion carried.
(At this time a 5 minute recess was called to evaluate election results.)
1.49 ACRES, BROCKWAY, DR. WI LL IAM WA RNEKESSEL
A communication dated October 28, 1971 from Dr. Warmkessel's attorney requesting
additional land and filing claim for $7,000 against the District was read by
President Doyle, a copy of which is part of these minutes. Mr. Cattan recommends
that the Board not -consider selling Dr. Warmkessel any more land. Mr. Anderson
said he inspected the land and feels a good architect could plan a church and
dental office for this 1.49 acres. After brief discussion, a motion was made by
Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone that the District reject Dr. Warmkessel's
claim and proposals and refer this matter to legal counsel.
ROLL CALL: Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye. Motion carried.
Mr. Paulus asked if he should have Paul Chamberlain prepare a deed since the land
has been paid for? It was decided to check with legal counsel on this matter.
MANAGER'S REPORT
Sierra Pacific is completing their work at the Donner Lake Substation. The comple-
tion of this substation will be coordinated with the Tahoe Donner power line since
the District cannot supply Tahoe Donner until the substation is finished. A
portion of the Donner Lake lines will be reconductored after the substation is
completed.
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone to
adjourn. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at 9:14 P.M.

OLYMP I C HEIGHTS UNIT 3, REQUEST FOR POWER
DOYLE: I am going to proceed to #12 on the Agenda. Mr. Stan Sales is present
and he has requested time on the Agenda. I'll read to you his letter of
November 14, directed to the Manager. "Calprop Corporation, represented
either by myself or Mr. James Meyer, requests time on the agenda for the
'�`' Board of Directors meeting to be held Tuesday, November 16, 1971. The
purpose of our request is to present to the Board the urgency of providing
�I
power ,lines to Olympic Heights Unit 3,-" Mr. Sales, proceed.
SALES: Basically our situation is that we have been developing Unit 3 of Olympic
Heights, and we made early in August. . .we discussed this verbally as to
our water and power situation. Shortly after that, I drew up the formal
proposal as to how we would take care of our payments for the water and
power. The water has been taken care of. We are now to the point where
we need power. We have builders who are ready to go. We are not proceeding
on just a lot sales basis, but rather have a building program that is
pretty well formulated now. We're ready to do something. My letter on
the 2 7th of August which was presented to the Board formally proposed our
payments for both the water system and for the power. I would like to
point out that,this proposal was answered only in part for the water,
which has been taken care of. It formally was not answered as to the
power situation. Our original request was a proposal stating that we
would like to have power a minimum of 750' into the subdivision to at
least give them a start, which as we initially discussed in August seemed
j to be an amenable situation to all parties. However, we're down to the
point now where we have to do something, and we would like to stress our
point at this time that if at all possible, we would like to get this
750'-800' into the subdivision before it's too late into the season. We
have, as I say, builders who are ready to do something and feel that they
can go through the winter provided we have power. So we would just like
E
to see if we can expedite this situation.
DOYLE: You state that your people are ready to begin building now?
f
SALES: We have some builders who are interested in. . . .There are no signed con-
tracts at this point, but they are willing to proceed with the building
i provided we have power. We don't feel that they will get foundations for
some time yet, but they don't want to go ahead with foundations unless
they have a guarantee they can put a house on that foundation.
DOYLE: You're talking about what kind of a time period -- next week? Next month?
SALES: We could have someone out there by three weeks.

NOVEMBER 16, 19 71 - CONTINUED
OLYMP I C HEIGHTS UNIT 3, REQUEST FOR POWER (CONTINUED)
DOYLE: OK. George, do you have a comment?
CATTAN: Well, as I don't see any buildings there and we are committed to finish
some important jobs as you are all aware -- the airport, Tahoe Donner
and the Donner Lake Substation where we have quite a lot of people
involved and this subdivision, there is no building, and no signs of
buildings. I did tell Stan that in December to come and see me if
weather permits and we are free, we'l l extend the 1 ine. From here to mid December we are actually swairpe d with work.
DOYLE: How long would it take to do the job?
CATTAN: I can't take my men off -- not when our. . .
DOYLE: I didn't ask you that. How long would it take?
CATTAN: It will take 2 days. 2-3 days. We have been working on Stm,days and
holidays to be able to complete before the winter, and I don't see any
necessity. . . .
DOYLE: He stated 3 weeks -- that's pretty close to mid-December.
CATTAN: I did tell him that in December if weather permits to come and see me
and I'11 see what I can do.
DOYLE: Would this be reasonable?
SALES: Yes, if we could get some confirmation. This has been the problem all
along, that we've sort of been hanging in limbo as to whether or not we
can proceed. As I say, my original letter of August was not answered
so we didn't have anything to go on at that time specifically, so I'd
like to get anything in specific terms. This would be well and good.
DOYLE: Can you confirm that to Mr. Sales?
CATTAN: I can't confirm from the weather. I mean, I told him to come and see
me in December and then I can confirm it.
SALES: This puts us in a position of not being able to make any confirmations
as far as our commitments.
CATTAN: That won't stop you from building. I don4t see why it will stop you
building.
SALES: It won't stop the foundation, but if you have a builder who has a house
he's interested in selling it. He knows he can't sell that house without
power to it. I understand your position where you don't want to provide
power to someplace where there's no houses, but look at our position --
We don't want to build houses where there's no power.
DOYLE: Well, if you think that you can give service about mid-December, can't
we confirm it on that basis?
MOORE: Weather permitting.
DOYLE: We're all reasonable. The weather is a most important criterion, and
I'm sure Mr. Sales realizes that as well as George. .._„
MOORE: I don't think any building will be going on during a blizzard anyway.
DOYLE: I think that we could probably confirm that we could do this job by mid-
December, weather permitting.
CATTAN: As you know, the subdivider has to pay the cost of the 1 ine. If we
work in December, it is going to cost him alot of money. That is some-
thing to consider.
SALES: I can have a check here within 48 hours.
DOYLE: Money is no problem according to Mr. Sales.

CATTAN: I just. . .we haven't changed anything. I told you to come and see me in
mid-December. If we are free, in a few days we can run the 1 ine. But
on condition that there are roads there. We are not going to run a line
and leave it lying idle all winter. You must guarantee that you are
going to build in December. I mean for us to run a line and just leave
it lying all winter -- I don't see the reason.
DOYLE: I don't think that we can put that kind of restriction on anybody.
I
CATTAN: Well, there are people. . . .I am not trying to be difficult, but. . . .
DOYLE: We're not arguing the point of priority. If you think that you can do
the job in mid December. . .
CATTAN: I said if weather permits. . . .
DOYLE: What's the problem then? Can't we confirm it then in a letter and let
him proceed about his business?
CATTAN: I told him that, that I could confirm it in a letter.
DOYLE: All right then. Any other comment?
MOORE: No, other than the fact that he's here tonight to get a priority -- the
same as any other consumer would.
STONE: Priority 1 would be the substation, Priority 2 Tahoe Donner. And after
that we could do some thing.
DOYLE: That has been explained to him.
CATTAN: That's exactly what I told him. Isn't that so?
SALES: Well, you have mentioned these two cases.
'f CATTAN: Yeah, and I told you mid-December.
i
SALES: OK, those two big jobs, I recognize that you do have these installations
and I'm perfectly willing to go with that, but "as soon as we get these
done, we will move on to your project." We haven't had that part of the
confirmation yet. If I could receive that, well then I'll be satisfied.
But you complete the substation, then Tahoe Donner, and then who knows
what else may come up in the meantime that might interfere with our
plans -- someone might be slipped in before me, then I'm right back in
the same position I am in now. I'm not asking for priority, just confirma-
tion that we can go ahead after your other priorities have been taken care
of. I'm perfectly willing to accept that.
I
DOYLE: You've got the substation, the tie line for Tahoe Donner, the airport
underground, and then could you move to him?
CATTAN: When I have finished Tahoe Donner.
DOYLE: This is all predicated on the weather too.
E
j CATTAN: Yeah, As far as Tahoe Donner, I mean, we are expecting to do that in
about 20 days. But if we get a storm we end up 2-3 weeks.
I
DOYLE: You understand that any storm condition is going to delay the whole thing.
CATTAN: I mean, not an inch or two of snow. I am talking about if we get several
i
feet of snow.
i
DOYLE: Well can you confirm that to Mr. Sales? In writing?y g.
j CATTAN: Yeah.
DOYLE: We'll pray to God that the weather doesn't show us up. Rex, do you have
a comment?
ANDERSON: The weather is just a never ending fight. You can't predict it.

SALES: Well, certainly. We all have to live by that. There's nothing we can
do about that.
DOYLE: Henry?
Loehr: I think that's an adequate confirmation. Everyone seems to understand
that the weather is a going factor, and that the priority will be after
these two other projects are cared for. There won't be other things
s 1 ippe d in between.
DOYLE: OK, then, George will prepare that to you in writing.
CATTAN: It is not a question of slipping anything in. We have some commitments --
Fitch and the post office. We had commitments with them 6 months ago.
We have already prepared the ducts and everything. But this shouldn't
interfere with your job. That won't interfere.
DOYLE: Well, that sounds re as onab 1 e then.
CATTAN: We have only two commitments -- that's Fitch..apprtments and the post office.
We have already poured the slab for the transformer pad and laid the
conduit. We are waiting for them to call us.
DOYLE: I'm sure he's going to go along with anything that's reasonable.
CATTAN: In any case we don't have any construction. Construction is coming to
an end. We don't have any more power lines.
DOYLE: All right, we'll leave it at that then and George will confirm it to you.
SALES: Fine, thank you.
BID OPENING, SURPLUS LAND BROCKWAY (REF: DR. H. KEITH)
Due notice having been published, only one bid was submitted for $5,001.00 from
Dr. Herb Keith, accompanied by a Cashier's Check in the amount of 10 0 or $500.10.
Mr. Cattan mentioned this is the property on which there is a 50' Sierra Pacific
easement which will be retained in the sale. No further discussion, a motion
was made by Mr. Stone and seconded by Mr. Anderson that the District accept
Dr. Herb Keith's bid of $5,001 for the surplus land on Brockway directly behind
the Village Green Trailer Park.
ROLL CALL: Moore, aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
RESOLUTION 7128, DECLARING CANDIDATES ELECTED
President Doyle read the resolution, a copy of which is part of these minutes.
No further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Moore
that Resolution 7128, Declaring Candidates Elected, be adopted.
ROLL CALL: Moore., aye; Anderson, aye; Stone, aye; Loehr, aye; Doyle, aye.
MANAGER'S RETIREMENT PLAN
Let the record show that Ordinance 71-25, Manager's Retirement Plan, was duly
posted by Mr. George Cattan and was published in the local newspaper as required
by law and is herewith sworn to by -the attached Affidavit of Posting and Publication.
AIRPORT
The 4500' of underground splicing will be installed this Saturday so that the
transformers may be connected.
TAHOE DONNER POWER LINE
After discussion with the project engineer who was not aware of the contract and
agreement with the District, agreement was reached that the roads should be clear
at all times so that the District may proceed with the installation of the power
line. Harker & Harker will help complete this line, and Lakeworld will pay us
for the extra work. The agreement also stipulates that if any money is left over
from the payment for this line, the District may use this money for other projects.
Page 127 November 16, 1971
NOVEMBER 16, 19 71 - CONTINUED
TAHOE DONNER POWER LINE (CONTINUED)
. However, it was pointed out by Mr. Cattan that the original contract called for
4.2 miles of line. Since the line was rerouted to the maintenance station and
since an 8-pole line is being constructed from the highway office to the telephone
pole line, the total amount of line is now 5.7 miles. The District has installed
68 poles to date, and the phone company will be working 2 crews beginning tomorrow.
Harker & Harker will begin their work Thursday morning. Two cats cleared the
road considerably today. Mr. Cattan feels the District can run one mile of line
a day under good conditions. He mentioned that Lakeworld will reimburse the
District for Harker & Harker costs. Mr. Doyle inquired about the status of the
water situation. Mr. Cattan replied that the work on the water has been halted.
He noted this cold weather has hardened the mud, making travel easier than
before. Mr. Cattan estimated it would take 15 working days to conductor.
i
TAHOE DONNER OVERTIME
i
In a letter dated November 11, 1971 Lakeworld will pay premium time on overtime
work to expedite power line construction. Mr. Cattan will take compensatory time
off for his overtime on this project which is 4 days. An estimated $1,000 is
involved up to now. Mr. Cattan mentioned the crew may work the Saturday after
Thanksgiving.
i
PONDEROSA PALISADES UNIT 4 PNEUMATIC BOOSTER
i
The letter from Raymond Vail explaining that a pneumatic booster will be used to
pump water to a few homes in this unit that cannot be served by the tank was read.
This situation has been referred to Dan Cook and he has no objection. The developer
will install this booster system with construction beginning May 1972. Mr. Vail
explained that this could not be included in the original assessment district now
f
because they had anticipated individual pumps installed by lot owners. This would
j not have met the standards of 20 PSI pressure, thus the pneumatic booster plan was
initiated.
PONDEROSA PALISADES UNIT 4
Mr. Vail formally presented a signed letter from the owners of this subdivision
regarding method of payment for water source and storage dated November 12. He
mentioned that the amount of payments was computed on cost information supplied
j by the District. He requested that the first check of $2,16 7 submitted tonight
be held on deposit until the map is recorded, approximately December 14, 1971.
Mr. Cattan recommended deferring action on this matter until after Attorney McDonough
is consulted since the District and Mr. Beavers are involved in a lawsuit. Mr. Vail
stated there is no connection between accepting the water system for this unit and
the lawsuit. Mr. Doyle agreed. Mr. Vail explained that it is necessary for the
owners to have approval on this matter before the Wednesday before the meeting with
the county. Mr. Cattan said the letter was sent to Attorney McDonough last Friday,
and the District should have a reply by Monday, that the District will try to get
in touch with Mr. McDonough by phone tomorrow. Mr. Vail submitted the s i gne d
original letter for consideration, along with the check to be held on deposit
and a check to cover the $5/lot inspection fee. President Doyle tabled this matter
pending word from Attorney McDonough, after which a special meeting will be called
i
to act on this matter.
I
PONDEROSA PALISADES WEST
I
Mr. Vail submitted the first payment for water source and storage for this subdi-
vision, but was requested to hold this check until after the District checks with
Attorney McDonough. Mr. Vail will be notified of the special meeting regarding
these two units.
RESOLUTION 7129, DEED TO DR. WARNJ<ESSEL
The resolution was read by President Doyle, and it was noted Dr. Warmkessel paid
'i the District in full for the land as stipulated in the bid. No further discussion,
a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone that Resolution 7129,
Authorizing Execution of Quitclaim Deed on Sale of Surplus Real Property, be adopted.

MANAGER'S REPORT
1. The Donner Lake Substation is nearly complete except for the fence. The
connection will be completed within the next two days.
2. The school district was given the price for the underground installation
at the Intermediate School as requested. The load will be 300 KVA. The
engineer's drawings have been approved by the District. Scheduled comple-
tion for this school is the Fall of 1974, accommodating the 6th, 7th and
8th grades.
3. The air vents, rail around the edge and roof have yet to be installed in
the Tahoe Donner water tank. Connection should be made the last of the
week so that water may be stored this winter. 4-5 pumping stations have
yet to be installed.
4. The transformer arrived today for the post office.
S. Mr. Anderson suggested investigating the drainage behind the office and
warehouse as he noticed a culvert has been blocked.
President Doyle took this opportunity to welcome newly elected Director Duane
Anderson. Mr. Doyle thanked the board members for their cooperation on behalf
of his service for the past 6 years. He said the District has come a long way
but has a tremendous job ahead of them with the development to come in the next
5-7 years. It will take diligence and personal time to see that these accomplish-
ments are carried out in the proper manner, remembering that the sole purpose of
the utility district is to serve the people who live here, and he hopes the
district will proceed in that endeavor. He feels the District will need more
employees and more equipment as well as smart management, that the newly elected
directors will overcome these burdens. He felt the District has had a good
Board the last 5 years, noting that 17 policies have been passed in the last 18
months.
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Stone
to adjourn. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at 9:21 P.M.

DECEMBER 7, 1971
The meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District
was opened by Manager George Cattan welcoming the three newly elected Directors
Roy Waters, Rex Anderson and Duane Anderson.
NOMINATIONS FOR OFFICE OF PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT
Director Rex Anderson nominated Director Nelson Stone for the office of President.
Mr. Loehr seconded the nomination. All ayes.
Mr. Stone thanked the Board for their unanimous approval, stating he will try to
do his best. He mentioned he will shortly be retiring from his lifelong career
with the U.S. Forest Service and should be able to devote more time to the District.
He urged all the Directors to remember that we are a public service organization
and must work with the people, that every decision we make at this table should
be based on the fact that it is in the best interests of the greatest number of
people over the longest period of time. Mr. Stone proceeded to call for nominations
for Vice President.
Director Duane Anderson nominated Director Roy Waters, and Director Rex Anderson
seconded the nomination. All ayes.
Mr. Waters accepted the nomination and stated he felt the Board should initiate a
policy whereby the offices of President and Vice President are rotated on a yearly
basis. He stated he realized a policy for rotation of offices had not been
initiated thus far because the former President of the Board, Paul Doyle, was so
interested in this District, he was just continued in his office by popular vote
because he did such a good job. He mentioned rotation should be with approval of
the Board. Director Rex Anderson moved that the election of President of the Board
be on a yearly basis beginning with the first meeting in December. Mr. Loehr
seconded the motion. All ayes. The Manager will prepare the necessary resolution
for the next meeting.
At this time the Manager asked each of the three newly elected Directors if they
•--, had any financial interest in any subdivisions within the District, as is customary
and mandatory after an election. Each Director replied no and a letter will be
submitted to the Board to this effect and will be kept on file in the District Office.
The, regular meeting was officially called to order by President Stone at 7:44 P.M.
in the conference room of the District.
ROLL CALL: Waters, present; R. Anderson, present; D. Anderson, present; Loehr,
present; Stone, present.
GUESTS PRESENT: Paul Doyle; Jean Sollen, Sierra Sun Reporter; Mr. Hale from
Raymond Vail & Associates.
I
EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Cattan, Paulus, Silva, Reynolds, Grow, Archer, Bliss.
i
No errors, omissions or corrections, the minutes of the regular meeting of November lb,
1971 and of the special meeting of November 22, 1971 were approved as written.
Manager Cattan informed the Board that he had received a letter from Attorney
Chamberlain in which he offered to spend some time with the new directors to acquaint
them with statutory provisions relating to Directorships and with Utility District
Codes. The Board members agreed that this would indeed be desirable, and Mr. Cattan
will arrange a meeting convenient to all parties.
j BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
Various bills were explained for the benefit of the new Directors. After brief
discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Rex Anderson and seconded by Mr. Loehr that
the bills be paid as listed, a copy of which is part of these minutes.
ROLL CALL: Waters, aye; R. Anderson, aye; D. Anderson, aye; Loehr, aye; Stone, aye.

December 7, 1971 P4ge 135
DECEMBER 7, 1971 - CONTINUED
BRIEF REPORT, WORK IN 19 71
Mr. Cattan distributed copies of this report to each Director, a copy of which is
part of these minutes. It was noted that all the major work except the substation
was paid for by the parties requesting the work. Mr. Stone felt the District
should be complimented on the progress in updating the systems in the District and
on work accomplished thus far in 1971. He urged the new Directors to review the
minute book for 1971 to bring themselves up to date on this and other work. He
felt more improvement to the water system had been made this past 2 years than
had been done in the past 30 years. This could be credited, he said, to an
energetic Board of Directors, and the Manager and his Assistant's formulating a
budget for the water department. Mr. Cattan mentioned we now have enough storage
tanks for the next 10 years, and the District will concentrate on the improvement
of the downtown water system next year.
RESOLUTION 7130, REA KWH CERTIFICATION,
Mr. Cattan explained that REA tries to forecast KWH consumption every 10 years.
Mr. Coulombe from REA recently visited this District and formulated our KWH fore-
cast from our records, a copy of which is attached. No further discussion, a
motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Duane Anderson that Resolution
7130, REA KWH Certification, be adopted.
ROLL CALL: Waters, aye; R. Anderson, aye; D. Anderson, aye; Loehr, aye; S tone, aye.
ROBERT BUTLER EASEMENT
This easement for a road access to a tank was signed and recorded some time ago.
With the completion of the tank project by McKnight Construction, Mr. Butler sent
an unsigned letter to the District requesting $50,000 in damages stating that the
terrain of his land had been altered. This letter has been turned over to
Attorney Chamberlain who advised the District we had 45 days to take action. In
the interim, McKnight Construction is repositioning several large rocks and is
placing gravel on the road. As soon as this work is completed, the District will
contact Mr. Butler to see if this work is satisfactory. Discussion ensued
regarding the location of the gate.
SIERRA PACIFIC POWER CO. RATE INCREASE
Mr. Cattan distributed copies of his conversation with Mr. Cromer, a copy of which
is attached. The Board agreed that Mr. McDonough should be present at the meeting
with Mr. Cromer and the Directors, at which time he will advise the District of
the percentage increase. Mr. Cattan felt our rate increase should be consistent
with the Sierra Pacific area surrounding this District.
ADVERTIZING FOR U.G. ENGINEER AND DRAFTSMAN
Mr. Cattan distributed copies of his recommendations for additional personnel for
1972, a copy of which is attached. Mr. Stone noted that the Manager feels the
first priority should be an Underground Engineer, which may soon be mandatory with
the present ecology trend. Mr. Cattan explained it is important to see that the
pads and construction are proper because the District will have to maintain them.
Duane Anderson suggested developing a set of underground standards, and the
developer's consultant or electrical engineer could work with our standards.
Mr. Cattan felt that usually the developer does not have people to do this type
of work. Mr. Paulus mentioned that fees paid to our consultants are quite expen-
s ive, not to mention the inconvenience of letters and phone calls. Mr. Cattan
mentioned that with the updating of the town system next year, the District needs
both a resident Underground and Water Engineer, that the fees for the checking of
maps will pay for this new personnel -- fees we now pay to consulting engineers.
Director Duane Anderson felt we should have more facts on this personnel situation.
Mr. Loehr felt we should give this situation more thought. President Stone urged
the Board to keep in mind that we are thinking of a long range program, that we
must adequately supervise underground installation or we may pay dearly, in mainte-
nance costs if the installation is not made correctly at the onset, that we must
ask ourselves are we going to get the job done now to last the next 20 years?
Mr. Stone tabled this matter until the next meeting.
TAHOE DONNER SUBSTATION
An advance payment has been received from Lakeworld for this substation, all pay-
ments to be deducted from the $35 per lot for electrical line extensions. Mr.
Cattan is preparing the specs for the transformers. This substation will be at
Page 136 Decembex 7, 1971
DECEMBER 7, 1971 - CONTINUED
TAHOE DONNER SUBSTATION (CONTINUED)
the south end of this subdivision, will be 3750 KVA and will allow Truckee to be
fed also. We will order four transformers -- 3 for the substation proper and 1
as a spare which can be used at the Tahoe Donner or Donner Lake substations.
Estimated cost of this new Tahoe Donner Substation is $70,000-$75,000. Mr. Stone
inquired if the 3750 KVA is sufficient to support the residential area in Tahoe
Donner, and Mr. Cattan replied yes. Bids for the transformers will be advertized
the end of this year.
GAS AND OIL BID - 1972
The Notice to Bidders form has been prepared and is in order. After brief discus-
sion a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Rex Anderson that Gas and
Oil for 1972 be put to bid.
I
ROLL CALL: Waters, aye; R. Anderson, aye; D. Anderson, aye; Loehr, aye; Stone, aye.
RESOLUTION 7131, ACCEPTANCE OF QUIT CLAIM DEED, C.S. BEAVERS ET AL, TANK SITE ADDENDUM
Mr.. Cattan explained that S years ago a mistake was made in the survey for this tank
site. Since the tank site area is unacceptable to the county because of this dis-
crepancy, it is necessary to accept the additional one foot around the boundary of
the site to meet county requirements. After brief discussion, a motion was made
by Duane Anderson and seconded by Rex Anderson that the District accept Resolution
7131 regarding this Quit Claim Deed.
ROLL CALL: Waters, abstain; R. Anderson, aye; D. Anderson, aye; Loehr, aye; Stone,
I
aye.
PONDEROSA PALISADES SOUTH .
This subdivision is situated in Placer County south of Ponderosa Palisades West.
The Placer County Planning Department has forwarded to the District the tentative
map, asking us to review those features of the map which come under the authority
of this District. Mr. Cattan reiterated that earlier this year the Board formulated
a policy on water supply to Placer County, but that this resolution was not finalized.
He feels that we can write the Planning Commission that we will supply this subdivi-
sion with water according to this resolution which is currently under study and will
soon be finalized. He requested comments from the Board. Mr. Stone recalled that
G a decision was made to establish the precedent of serving water outside our district
boundaries, that we would be getting our revenue from one main meter rather than
from individual homeowners. Mr. Cattan mentioned that Resolution 7103 (Draft) was
limited to Sections 22, 23 and 24, that a water district, assessment district, home-
owners association or some such organization would have to be formed before we can
provide service. Rex Anderson felt that any contract with a developer should be
transferred to the water district formed or property owners association. Duane
.I Anderson suggested a flat rate for lot owners, another rate for homeowners as an
alternative. Mr. Loehr mentioned that if we provide water outside our district,
we will be extending our marketing area without extending our District. Duane
Anderson suggested seeking guidance from Paul Chamberlain on which party the District
should look to for payment for this water, stating that even though the residents are
in another county, they are still part of our community and should be served. The
Board agreed that the Planning Commission will be advised that we will serve this
subdivision in accordance with our Resolution 7102 when finalized.
MANAGER'S REPORT
t
—'� 1. The airport project and the underground installation at the Donner Pines Condo-
miniuns (Fitch) have been completed.
2. The Donner Lake Substation was tested today, and the equipment is in order. Both
RTE and Allis Chalmers sent representatives who were present during the tests.
The substation must now be connected to our line, and SO transformers around part
of the lake must be changed from Tap S to Tap 4. This work will be accomplished
with the aid of Harker F Harker and Sierra Pacific personnel, taking about 5 hours.
Page 137
December 7, 1971
DECEMBER 7, 19 71 - CONTINUED
Mr. Loehr inquired about vacations for the men. Mr. Cattan replied all vacations
will probably be taken when we get snow prohibiting us from working outdoors.
Discussion ensued regarding Olympic Heights Unit 3, and it was noted that the
Post Office and Fitch Condominiums as well as the Airport have now been completed,
that the Tahoe Donner line has yet to be completed before the District can
proceed with other major work.
Mr. Waters inquired if the District maintains and constructs fire hydrants.
Mr. Cattan replied yes, mentioning that we submitted a contract on this hydrant
maintenance to the Fire District at their request, but they have never signed it.
It was agreed the Fire District should be billed on their existing contract since
they have not signed the new one.
Discussion ensued regarding the serving of power to Quintana on E. River St. and
to Olympic Heights Unit 3 in relation to the present work schedule. Duane Anderson
inquired if the District was doing a disservice by not supplying individual home-
owners and others power when requested. It was agreed this year has presented
more work for the District, especially with the development of Tahoe Donner, in
addition to the growth of normal individual electrical consumers.
Director Stone stated that in behalf of better service to the people and in helping
the District staff, and because business has tripled with even fewer employees than
before, he was assigning an area of responsibility to each director so that he may
be called upon when a problem arises in his area, as follows:
Rex Anderson: All phases of power. Learn how many miles of line we have, what
it takes to give service, so that some of the customer service
problems could be channeled to him.
Roy Waters: All phases of water service.
Henry Loehr: Advise Board and management on legislative and financial matters.
Duane Anderson: District's surplus lands and equipment, namely the tools the
crew has to work with.
Nelson Stone: Personnel and Operations.
President Stone emphasized that each director should specialize in his field to be
able to give assistance when necessary.
The Quit Claim Deed for land purchased from the District by Dr. Herbert Keith was
presented. Mr. Loehr moved and Rex Anderson seconded that the President and Secre-
tart' be authorized to sign the deed. All ayes.
No further business, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Mr. Duane
Anderson to adjourn. All ayes. Meeting adjourned at 10:OS P.M.

SIERRA PACIFIC PROPOSED RATE INCREASE
Had a conversation with Mr. Cromer regarding the filing by Sierra
� Pacific Power Company for 15.7 o increase for its California system.
He informed me that this does not apply to the large purchasers of
power, namely:
Truckee Donner P.U.D.
City of Fallon
P.G. & E. Echo Summit & Meyers
California Pacific Utility Co. , winnemuca.
Our turn will be January or February 1972 and that their filing for
the 4 large consumers will be much, much more and that fuel has gone
up 30 0, and that our rate is dependant on fuel cost and therefore
the filing will be for a higher percentage increase.
Mr. Cromer informed me that he will meet with our Board to discuss
the proposed rate of increase before filing.
I have related this itaformation to our Attorney, Mr. Martin McDonough,
who negotiated our existing contract with Sierra Pacific Power Company,
and he asked me if the Board desires that he should be present when
Mr. Cromer presents his argument for rate increase.
As most of the old members know of Mr. Martin McDonough's capability
in delaing with the existing contract, I therefore recommend his
presence when the meeting is to be held.

December 21, 1971
The regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility
District was opendd by President of the Board, Nelson Stone at 7:30 P.M. in the
conference room.
ROLL CALL: Waters, present; R. Anderson, absent; D. Anderson, present; Loehr,
present; Stone, present.
EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Cattan, Paulus, Silva, Reynolds, Grow, Bronson.
No errors, ommisions, or corrections. It was moved by Loehr and seconded by
D. Anderson that the minutes of the regular meeting of December 7th be approved
as written. All ayes.
BILLS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL
After brief discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by Duane
Anderson, that the bills be approved, a copy of which is part of these minutes.
All ayes.
A question arose as to whether or not a voice vote should be given when large
amounts of money are involved. Mr. Loehr moved that it should, seconded by Mr.
Waters. All ayes.
RESOLUTION 7132, ELECTION TERM OF OFFICERS
Although this Resolution has been approved by Attorney, Paul Chamberlain, the
Board Members feel that it is too restrictive. Therefore, it has been decided
that the Resolution be amended to read, 'Nothing in this Resolution shall preclude
the re-election of incumbent officers." Director, R. Waters moved that Resolution
7132 be adopted. Mr. D. Anderson seconded the motion. All ayes.
SOUTHERN PAC I F I C
Manager Cattan explained that due to costs arising from the derailment two months
ago, which was the cause of an approximate extra 200 load on the transformers, due
to use of track heaters, a transformer burned. As this is a very expensive item,
Mr. Cattan recommended that the contract with Southern Pacific be terminated, as
the District is losing money on the track heaters. He further stated that after
long discussion with S.P. officials, it was agreed that they would pay for the
transformer which burned and for the cost of replacement and labor. Mr. Cattan
explained that the cancellation clause may be enforced as S.P. did not let the
District know about the extra load at the time of the derailment, and that the
track heaters., being single phase, were causing an unbalance. He then informed
the Directors that work will begin next summer on a three-phase supply, after
consulting the engineers in San Francisco. Discussion ensued about the cost of the
Transformer. Mr. Paulus explained the District's position on this, regarding the
expense, inconvenience, etc.
DONNER LAKE SUBSTATION
Mr. Cattan stated that the Donner Lake Substation is ready to be put into service,
but is being delayed until after January lst because of the holidays. He explained
that after the New Year additional men from S.P.P. Co. and Harker and Harker would
� be available, and that he did not wish to inconvenience the people of the West end
of Donner Lake during the holidays. He also informed the board that the work will
take approximately three hours, and that the people of the West end will be notified
by radio. The extension of the line in Reed Avenue was discussed. It is to be
�--- started next summer.
t
i
TAHOE DONNER SUBSTATION
Mr. Cattan informed the Directors that bids have been sent out for the Transformers
and Regulators, and that he is now involved in the design of the steel structure and
switching equipment, and hopes to finish in about a week's time. The site will be
located next week.

PERSONNEL - 1972
This report has been presented to each Director, a copy of which is attached
to these Minutes.
A complaint has been made by our employees regarding their vacations. Mr. Paulus
has already spoken with the Union Representative, then Mr. Cattan asked him to
imme di ate ly engage a line man so the men can take vacations as soon as possible,
one at a time.
The Manager informed the Board that another two linemen will be needed in April.
The Union Representative promised that he would help in obtaining these men.
Mr. Paulus stated that the present me to rman wishes to apprentice as a 1 ineman, so
a new meterman will be needed February lst. Mr. Cattan reported that a Draftsman,
experienced in water and electric, is also needed. The hiring of an Underground
Engineer will be postponed.
Director D. Anderson expressed the wish to see an Organizational Chart of the
existing situation. President Stone agreed that we should have one, and further
suggested that it be presented before the Board.
PURCHASE OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT
Mr. Cattan presented copies of this report to each Director, a copy of which is
part of these Minutes.
The Manager stated that indirectly, the developers and the public are paying the
costs of constructing overhead and underground facilities, and expect the District
to provide the required service in a reasonable time. This can only be done by
having the required personnel and equipment. He further stated that when we
received money from the developer, whether U.G. or O.H. , there is always 20% over-
head, and most of that is in equipment. Mr. Cattan has spoken with Mr. Fred
Damavandi,requesting that Lakeworld pay the total of $34,5 80 for Units 2 and 3,
and Fred has assured us that he will pay for them as soon as we submit our bill.
Manager Cattan then explained the work involved on the blackboard.
Mr. Cattan pointed out that a line truck and a cable dolley are badly needed
and should be top priorities, and that we will keep the present line truck as a
standby. Mr. Waters questioned the advisability of purchasing this equipment,
wondering if there would be sufficient use for it after Lakeworld. The Manager
assured him that there would be, as under present conditions, work is much more
difficult and sometimes even unsafe for the men. He then assured the Directors
that he is quite certain the equipment will pay for itself within two years.
Attached is a copy of a letter which was to be mailed to Lakeworld and presented
to the Board.
President Stone entertained a motion to authorize Manager Cattan to make arrang-
ments for the purchase of a line truck and a cable dolley (the bids to be called
for in Apri 1) . The motion was made by Mr. Loehr and seconded by D. Anderson
that Mr. Cattan be authorized. All ayes,
President Stone suggested that D. Anderson be appointed to look into the types
of equipment and that Mr. Loehr be appointed to take care of the financial details,
and that when the bids are let, they should inform the Directors. It was further
suggested that when the time comes to consider the purchase, that the men be con-
sulted, particularly the line forman, since they will be working with this equipment.
All Members were in agreement. It was decided that the matter of purchasing a back-
hoe and a four-wheel drive vehicle be tabled till the next meeting. ---
THE BUILDING
Manager Cattan explained that this building is already quite crowded and that
more room will be needed for the new personnel. Then he outlined his plans to
remodel part of the garage. Mr. Stone suggested that the Board convene in the
garage to survey Mr. Cattan's proposed plans for the new offices. When they
returned to the conference room, Mr. Cattan asked the Directors for Board
approval on these proposed plans. They agreed unanimously that he should go
ahead and draw up a definite plan. The cost of remodelling will be $6000 to $7000,
extending the sprinkler system -- $1000
December 21, 1971 Page 145
December 21, 1971 - Continued
A discussion followed regarding the charge of $35 per lot to Lakeworld. Mr.
Cattan explained that an agreement had been drawn up, calling for the develo-
per to pay this $35 per lot upon recordation of the map. (In this case, cash
will be paid in lieu of bond) . It was also stated that all requirements must
be met before service may be given. The Manager informed the Board that in
the case of Lakeworld, they are installing all the underground ducts, and gave
the Members his assurance that the money would be paid within seven days. Mr.
D. Anderson cited the Placer County regulation that bonds be posted or money
paid before recordation of the map, to ensure power to all the lots.
MANAGER'S REPORT
Mr. Cattan informed the Board that the Post Office finally asked to be connected
last Thursday and that the pad was installed Saturday, and they were given power.
He also reported that Donner Lake Substation is ready to be put into service,
but due to the holidays it is being delayed until after the New Year, as Sierra
Pacific Power Company is not in a position to provide us with the necessary help
until after January 1. With proper co-ordination we should complete the conver-
sion in less than three hours.
Harker & Harker -- 3 men, Sierra Pacific -- 3 men, our 3 men = Total of 9 men.
75 transformers ----------------- 9 men @ 3 tfr. per hr. = 27 x 3 = 81 transformers.
Another reason for delaying the conversion is that we do not wish to inconvenience
residents during the holidays.
j A request was made by Mr. Cattan for three extra days off to make up for over-
time work: Underground to condiminiums, Saturday the 4th; 3 Regulators, Satur-
day the 12th; and Underground to Post Office, Saturday the 18th. At President `
Stone's suggestion, it was made a matter of record that this matter be left to
the Manager's discretion.
A question was raised regarding the claim brought by Mr. Butler of Tahoe City.
The Board agreed that a letter should be written to the effect that this matter
would be taken care of in the Spring as soon as weather permits. Mr. Paulus
stated that all Directors would receive a copy of this letter. Mr. D. Anderson
asked if it would be possible for the Directors to receive copies of all corres-
pondence coming into this office. Mr. Cattan replied that all important letters
are being passed on the all the Board Members before each meeting.
Since there was no further business, a motion was made by Mr. Loehr that the
meeting be adjourned, seconded by Mr. Waters. All ayes. The meeting adjourned
at 10:10 P.M.
