Duane Anderson asked that in the Minutes of May 1, 1973, a clarification be made under the headline "Resolution 7308 - Water Connection Charge" . He would like it to state " . . . the cost will be the actual cost to the applicant" . rather than " . . . the cost will be the actual cost to the District" . After this correction, it was moved by Director Loehr and seconded by Director R. Anderson that the Minutes be approved for all three meetings. All aye; motion carried. BILLS FOR BOARDS APPROVAL After little discussion, it was moved by Director R. Anderson and seconded by Director Loehr that the bills be paid. All aye; motion carried. PROSSER LAKEVIEW ESTATES, UNITS 4 AND 5 Tom Paulus told the Board that he found an agreement entered into in June, 1970, between the PUD and Lauren Russell, Truckee-Tahoe Lake Estates, stating power lines will be placed on the rear lot lines in Units 4 and 5 providing the developer clears the rear lot lines where designated by the District. Director Stone moved that Units 1, 21 31 4, and 5 have installed the needed power facilities at rear lots as originally agreed after the developer has fulfilled his obligation of clearing these 10 foot easements. The motion was seconded by Director D. Anderson. ROLL CALL: H. Loehr, aye; D. Anderson, aye; N. Stone, aye; R. Anderson, aye; R. Waters, aye. So Moved. AMEND RESOLUTION 7202 - THREE PHASE CONNECTION Tom Paulus explained that the present cost to the applicant for three- phase connection is $80 which does not cover the actual cost to the District. He asked to raise this cost to $150. The Board members asked that the Resolution read "single phase" instead of 113 wire single phase permanent" and "three phase" rather than 113 wire single phase temporary" .

BEAVER' S SUIT Regarding Mr. Cattan' s subpoena to appear in Nevada City, Tom Paulus was instructed by the Board to turn over all negotiating power to Martin McDonough in concern to Mr. Cattan' s travel expenses and the amount of money he will receive while in California. RESOLUTION 7307 - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Since management had not completely examined the provisions outlined by this Resolution, the Board asked them to do so. After this is done, it will be placed on the agenda for the next regular meeting for the Boards approval. ,► RESOLUTION 7313 - PONDEROSA PALISADES SOUTH CONTRACT This Resolution states the District will supply Ponderosa Palisades South, located in Placer County, water from a point to the subdivision boundary. They will be billed monthly for the use of the water. Each lot within the subdivision will be controlled by a water district, not the Truckee-Donner PUD. We will only delver it to one point and they will take it from there. The terms of the contract are 40 years. Director H. Loehr moved for the adoption of Resolution 7313 and it was seconded by Director D. Anderson. ROLL CALL: H. Loehr, aye; D. Anderson, aye; N. Stone, aye; R. Anderson, aye; R. Waters, aye. So moved. SICK LEAVE AND VACATION AMENDMENT A proposed amendment to Resolution 73102 Employee Agreement, specifically sick leave and vacation was discussed. Tom Paulus pro- posed changing 12.5 under Title 12, Sick Leave, to read, "Employees who terminate due to retirement, dismissal, or voluntary termination shall be compensated for all unused sick leave accrued as of (date) at the wage or salary as of (date) providing a minimum of two weeks notice is given prior to voluntary termination" , which will replace the old 12.5. Discussion ensued regarding maximum accumulation of vacation days. Nelson Stone suggested the limit be set at 30 days. It was finally decided that John Stralla (IBEW) should be present at the next meeting to further discuss sick leave and vacation. MANAGERS REPORT Regarding the contracting of workers for the summer to complete the obligation of line to Lakeworld, Tom Paulus reported that Norris Electric, a firm out of Sacramento, will cost $15. 31 + 15% per Page 108 Managers Report, continued -3- May 15, 1973 man, per hour. Harker & Harker will cost $13.55 + 15% with a pay increase upcoming in June. Poles are becoming very scarce and the District may have to go to steel. Padmount transformers are also difficult to acquire. We may have to use a fiberglass shell with an overhead transformer mounted on a concrete pad. Orders were put in in March; still no delivery. Dr. Herbert Keith is meeting with Nevada County on May 24 to attempt the rezoning of the Southside property for his mobile home park. If he gets it rezoned, we will declare the land surplus and put it for bid, the minimum bid being $6,000 per acre. The Southside well site is going to be cleaned up this summer. We will hire some kids to do it. The well driller has been ill and unable to start the drilling. The Tonini tank leak is repaired. The California Municipal Utilities Association has written and asked that George' s successor attend the monthly meeting in Sacramento this summer. The Board was in agreement to Tom going. There being no further business to come before the Board, it was moved by Director H. Loehr and seconded by Director D. Anderson that the meeting be adjourned. All aye; motion carried. After a short break, the Board and management went into an executive session and discussed the termination of two employees. The regular meeting was adjourned by the President, Roy Waters, at 9: 30 P. m.
