CONTINUATION OF SIERRA PACIFIC LEASE PROPOSAL
R. Waters introduced Mr. John Saibini of Sierra Pacific to consult with
the Board about. this lease and his ideas on it. Mr. Saibini explained
that the Truckee-Donner Public Utility District has three sources
of power supplied by Sierra Pacific. From the summit, 120,000 volt
substation goes to Verde and also supplies power to Nevada. A
60,000 volt line connects Drum, Spalding, and Donner Summit and it
comes into the Truckee Substation. From Verde, the Truckee Substation
is fed by two other 60,000 volt lines that are hooked to the genera-
tion and other transformation substations . He told the Board that the
power does not come from P G & E lines but from the integrated Sierra
Pacific system. If the PUD was to substitute this system, a line
would have to be built from Donner Lake to a source, possibly P G & E.
In order to insure reliability, it is necessary to have some kind of
standby power source. He said their present cost of constructing a
60,000 volt line in terrain that is fairly accessible is $20,000 a
mile. They anticipated in mountainous terrain the cost could be
$25 ,000 a mile. He gave an example of this; recently a line was built
from Tahoe City to Brockway on the Lake. They had very strict envir-
onmental control and they could not cut a path, you could not see the
line from the road, could not cut any roads, and the access had to be
by .foot. This line cost $33,700 per mile.
Mr. Cattan asked Mr. Saibini to explain why Sierra Pacific pays $178,000
to P G & E per month for their line from the summit. He said they pay
this as a demand charge for the 60 KV line. Sierra Pacific owns and

LETTER TO THE CUSTOMERS REGARDING RATE INCREASE . . . . . . . . . . page 3
The staff constructed a letter to be sent to the customers with their
February bill explaining the rate increase. The Directors decided to
omit alot of what was said about the Sierra Pacific lease. The letter
finally ended up explaining the increase of power to PUD of 42% and
that the Board of Directors were in the process of considering a better
way to get their wholesale power.
BEAVER' S TRIAL
E
Mr. Cattan presented a letter to the Board from Mr. McDonough stating
the trial for Beaver' s case has been set for May 29 and 30. This
letter also asked that the District make Mr. Cattan available for
this trial. Once Mr. Cattan is subpeonaed, Mr. McDonough is to pay
his expenses to get him to the trial and the District in turn pays
Mr. McDonough for these expenses. If the trial is won by the Dis-
trict, Mr. Beavers will have to pay these expenses. Mr. Cattan stated
he would make himself available for this subpoena and the trial.
MANAGERS REPORT
Mr. Cattan only had to report that the office is short staffed. He
said people come and ask him or Tom to do things for them, and it
is not that they don' t want to, but they just don' t have the time.
There being no further business to come before the Board, it was
moved by Director D. Anderson and seconded by Director R. Anderson
that the meeting be adjourned. All aye; motion carried.
The regular meeting was adjourned by President, Roy Waters, at 9: 30
p. m. The secretary and all employees were excussed and the Dir-
ectors remained for an executive session.
