A special meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee-Donner Public Utility District
was called to order by President Nelson Stone at 8:00, July 22, 1972, in the conference
room.

H. Loehr, present; N. Stone, present.
EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Cattan, Paulus
E GUESTS PRESENT: Mr. Tim O'Leary
A special meeting was called to discuss the bids on the land known as parcel(120 acres)
and parcel B (138 acres) .
Mr. Cattan told the Board that the land has been zoned P.D. 24,000. This would indicate
that each lot must be a minimum of 24,000 sq. ft. (1/2 acre lots) . The manager computed
the maximum number of lots allowed for this amount of land (parcel A) to be 218 lots.
The developer has the option of sub-dividing the land into the 218 lots or 5 acre parcels.
Director D. Anderson stated that this land could be rezoned.
The existing Tahoe Donner prior-to the new zoning is 12,600 sq. ft. with additional
area of 25 o for green belt. If this is applied to 120 acres the number of lots would
be 312, computed as follows:
12,600 � _ .288 lots per acre.
43, 50
120 A - 25% green belt = 90 A
90A = 312 lots
.288
R. Waters said that he was not certain that the Board could legally accept the Lakeworld
bid, because it is so much lower than the appraised price. H. Loehr assured him that the
Board Could accept or reject any or all bids as they see fit. They must decide what is
best for the District. Director Waters also asked why it is so important to sell the
land at this time. He wanted to know what the money would be used for. Mr. Cattan
explained that there are improvements that are necessary in the water system. He said
that those improvements will not be possible unless the land is sold. He said that
revenue from electric cannot be used for maintenance or improvements to the water
system. The manager also stated that Lakeworld would be assuming the cost of the
sewer assessment which amounts to approximately $15,000.
It was moved by R. Waters that the Board reject the bid for parcel A and B. It was
seconded by Director D. Anderson. Director Waters motion also stated that the land
should be readvertised.
Mr. Cattan said that Lakeworld knows that they are the only bidder and they might not
bid again. The total number of bids sent out was 29 and he suggested that parcel B
be rejected as the appraisal and bid varied excessively.
President Stone said that he had studied the land from a.logging standpoint. He said
that there is at least $125,000 worth of timber on the land and he suggested that the
District engage a forester to consult with the District and sell the timber. He said
he is sure that there would be a net profit of $115,000. He suggested that the Directors
think about it as an alternative to selling the land.
The roll was called on Director Waters motion to reject all bids and readvertise.
Roll Call: R. Waters, aye; R. Anderson, ..no; D. Anderson, no; H. Loehr, aye;
N. Stone, aye.
D. Anderson said that he had voted no because he wanted to accept the bid on parcel A.

bid on parcel B, after the above motion was passed.
The President suggested that the Board accept a resolution regarding the land bid.
President Stone said that Resolution 7216 would read;. . . . .subject to the legality of
accepting parcel A and not parcel B, parcel A bid by Lakeworld would be accepted with
the following roll call Mote. Roll Call: R. Waters, no; R. Anderson, aye; D. Anderson,
