President Stone asked if there would be any change in the contract with Tahoe Donner over this proposed rate change. Manager Cattan explained to the Directors that the $35 charge referred to by Mr. Stone was for Line Extension, and that each consumer will still be required to pay an extra $15 for electric service. Director Waters inquired as to the ratio of transformers to consumers and also stated that he would like to know what the average residential cost of service is for the average home. Mr. Cattan then presented the Directors with a chart dealing with this, and Mr. Paulus informed the Board that the average revenue from an average home for a ten-month period is $10 8.30, or $10.83 per month.

All ayes. January 4, 1972 page 150 JANUARY 4, 19 7 2 - CONTINUED TAHOE DONNER & THE NEED FOR ANOTHER BACKHOE Manager Cattan spoke in reference to a letter from Crammer Engineering of December 21st, 1971, regarding the unit development of Tahoe Donner. Mr. Cattan stated that he had spoken with Fred Damavandi and is meeting with him again Friday, January 7th. Tahoe Donner now has five units; Units 1, 2, 3, 4, F and 6, and according to the contract, whenever a unit is recorded by Nevada City, they will provide the District with a bond. As stated in the December minutes, cash will be advanced the District for Units 2 and 3. After discus- sing with Mr. Damavandi the urgent need for the District to purchase materials and equipment for this Subdivision, Mr. Cattan was informed that Tahoe Donner i is cons i de ring paying us cash instead of bonds. Manager Cattan urged the Board to immediately authorize him to prepare the bids, as in the event that the funds are not readily avai lab le, the bids can be re- jected by the Board, though it appears unlikely at this time. The Manager further explained that it is impossible to construct the work at Tahoe Donner and install the five miles of line without the necessary equipment. Discussion ensued regarding the financing and estimated costs of installing the substation and lines. I Mr. Cattan informed the Directors that the reason for the urgency in preparing bids is that it takes time to get the necessary paperwork done, advertise, open the bids, etc. Director Roy Waters questioned the need for a second backhoe. Mr. Cattan assured the Board that there would be plenty of work for a new one as the line truck and backhoe would be working continuously on the five miles of proposed lines and numerous pumps and that a special crew will be allocated j �.... for this work at Tahoe Donner. The Manager informed the Board that the present backhoe would be used for water services and in town, primarily on smaller jobs and that a larger j backhoe is needed for Tahoe Donner and snow removal. Mr. Cattan further stated that he does not recommend committing the District to purchasing all this heavy equipment and material until the money is at hand. If t Director Duane Anderson then moved that the Manager be authori zed to prepare bids for the backhoe. Director Rex Anderson seconded the motion. AYES: D. Anderson R. Anderson H. Loehr , N. Stone • i NOES: R. Waters • i I page 151 January 4, 1972 E E JANUARY 4, 19 72 MANAGER'S REPORT Manager Cattan reported that the Donner Lake Substation is now in operation and that it was the snow and ice that caused a fuse to kick out. He then stated that the bids for the Transformers and Regulators have been sent out. An inquiry was made by President Stone as to whether anything had been done about an Organizational Chart. Mr. Cattan explained that he has been very busy with specifications and other things. President Stone also asked about the budget. Mr. Paulus assured him that there would be a complete report for the next Board Meeting; It was reported that the electric minimum previously passed on July 6, 1971, and originally scheduled for November, will be effective in January, due to the Price-Freeze. Director Waters asked about the water situation in Ponderosa Palisades. Mr. Cattan stated that the District does not have the men and equipment to get the job done mti1 April. Discussion ensued regarding water tanks. At 9:S 3 a motion was made by Director Loehr and seconded by D. Anderson that the meeting be adjourned. All ayes. t NELSON S.
