Home My WebLink About1973-12-04 Min - Board DECEMBER 4, 1973 The regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee-Donner Public Utility District was called to order by President Roy Waters at 7: 30 p.m. in the conference room. ELECTION OF PRESIDENT AND VICE - PRESIDENT Director J. Craig nominated Director D. Anderson for the presidency. Director D. Anderson declined from the nomination for the reason that he is employed in Tahoe City and felt that the president should be easy to reach when needed. Working in Tahoe City would prove to be inconvenient. Director R. Anderson moved that Roy Waters be retained another year as President of the Board. His nomination was seconded by Director D. Anderson. ROLL CALL : J. Craig, aye ; D. Anderson, aye; P. Sutton, aye; R. An Jerson, aye ; R. Waters , abstain. So moved. Director J. Craig moved that Duane Anderson be nominated for the office of vice president . Director Sutton moved that the nominations be closed. ROLL CALL : J. Craig, aye ; D. Anderson, abstain; P. Sutton, aye ; R. Anerson, aye ; R. Waters , aye. So moved. ROLL CALL: J. Craig, present; D. Anderson, present at roll call , however, he was excused thereafter due to illness ; P. Sutton, present ; R. Anderson, present; R. Waters , present. GUESTS PRESENT: Marigrey Fish, Pete Heinrich, Bonnie Houlgate , Shirley Gini, Tony Roegiers , Fenton Wilson, Jerry Gilbert, Perry Schaffer, Paul Chamberlain. EMPLOYEES PRESENT: Paulus, Kinzie , Krajewski, Silva, Grow. MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 20 , AND NOVEMBER 28, 1973 The president asked if there were any additions , corrections , or omissions to the minutes of the regular meeting of November 20 and the special meeting of November 28 , 1973. It was moved by Director R. Anderson and seconded by Director Sutton that the minutes for both meetings be approved as written. All aye ; motion carried. BILLS FOR BOARD' S APPROVAL After Questioning a few of the bills , it was moved by Director Craig, and seconded by Director R. Anderson that the bills be paid. All aye ; motion carried. In reviewing these bills , Director Sutton requested that the list of bills for each board meeting be sent to the directors at the same time the agendas are mailed out , the Friday before each meeting. Mr. Paulus said this accommodation could be met . GILBERT FINANCIAL CONSULTANTS . Mr. Gerry Gilbert was introduced to the Board. His firm has worked on various jobs in the Tahoe basin for the TRPA and has recently been engaged to do a financial study for the Tahoe City P.U.D. The firm has been orginized for two years . Their services are in three areas : water quality studies , engineering studies and financial studies . Mr. Gilbert prepared an outline of the procedures that would be taken should his firm be engaged to do the study. A copy of this proposal is attached as part of the minutes . Since Mr. Gilbert is doing work in the Tahoe area now, the district will be saving money on the study. The travel time and reasearch time will be shared with the Tahoe City P.U.D. Director Craig asked to have a copy of a completed report similar to what the district is asking for that was done by Gilbert & Assoc- iates for the board' s review. Mr. Gilbert was told that a decision would not be made tonight but he would be informed as to the board' s decision. Page 192 PETE HEINRICH Page Two December 4, 1973 Mr. Heinrich was introduced to the board. He is a lineman for Sierra Pacific Power Company and resides within the District. He had hoped that when the lease arrangement was proposed by Sierra Pacific, the electors would have an opportunity to vote on it . Mr. Heinrich also did not agree with the figures presented in the Lakeworld electric contract of $35 per lot to cover the installation of distribution lines . The cost of power installation is going up month by month in materials alone. Mr. Heinrich does not care to pay 24% more for electricity than the surrouncbng area supplied by Sierra Pacific. He -felt the financial load from Tahoe Donner is being carried by the electric consumers outside the subdivision. In Mr. Heinrich' s opin- ion, the P.U.D. is not a construction firm but an electrical distri- butor. He did not want to see any more contracts . He wanted to see a flat charge per foot for lines installed at current prices or con- tract the work out to electrical firms . As a suggestion, Mr. Heinrich asked to consider the connected load in Tahoe Donner when renego- tiating the electric contract . He did not feel there would be a sub- stantial rate of return on the investment. Director Sutton expressed her concern in the matters Mr. Heinrich had presented. She informed him that she had hoped these subjects would be corrected soon by the present Board of Directors . Mr. Heinrich said that his original plan was to present his complaints to the District Attorney who would look into the investigation of the District by the Grand Jury. Although, now he wanted to bring these problems to the attention of the board for their review. Director Sutton asked Mr. Chamberlain, attorney for the district , if the Lakeworld contract would be binding to a new Board of Directors of different composition. Mr. Chamberlain said that it is binding. Mrs . Sutton asked what type of relief can be sought for a bad con- tract. Mr. Chamberlain said that if the information received at the time the contract was made was inadequate or improper, then the grounds would be error or mistake in fact . Director Sutton asked why this board couldn' t take steps legally necessary to rectify this bad contract. Director Sutton moved that the Board authorize the attorney to look into the Lakeworld electric contract and report back to the ' board with his recommendations in resolution to the contract . Director R. Anderson asked Mr. Paulus if we were getting a satis- factory response from Dart Resorts without having our attorney look into the possibility of terminating the contract. Mr. Paulus did not feel this type of research would alter any previous discussions with Dart since nothing definite had been decided. Rex Anderson wanted to hold off any action by our attorney until we have had a chance to discuss the contract revision with Dart during the winter months when construction discontinued. Mr. Anderson was informed that con- struction will continue in that subdivision through the winter. The motion originally made by Director Sutton was again read. Director R. Anderson had misinterrupted the motion and withdrew his argument. The motion was seconded by Director Craig. ROLL CALL : J. Craig, aye ; D. Anderson, absent ; P. Sutton, aye ; R. Anderson, aye ; R. Waters abstain. Director Waters abstained because he wanted to hear Director D. Anderson' s opinion on this matter. Legal counsel felt he could have his research done on this subject by the next regular meeting. Director Sutton presented copies of the Public Utility Code which provides for an evaluation of the district by financial experts . The study covers the system of accounts kept by the district ; the -�- contracts entered into by the district ; management of utilities of the district, there operation, services furnished, and the rate charged by the district ; properties and investments of the district; all official acts of the board relating to acquisition, construction, completion, extension, improvements , and betterment of the public utilities of the district ; the efficiency and adequacy of each public utility and of the property used in connection with it or with its operation, the reasonableness of the service and commodities fur- nished, and of the rates and charges therefore ; all the business and affairs of the district relating to the ownership , management, and operation of each public utility district . Mrs . Sutton thought this is the type of study the district needs . She thought we did not need a projection of the future but a study of the district as it operates today. The Code limits the amount spent on each expert examiner at $2 , 500 . The experts are selected by the district from recommendations from the Public Unities Commission. Several experts may be selected Page 193 PETE HEINRICH . . . continued Page Three December 4, 1973 by the district. The examination can be initiated by the Board of Directors or it shall be initiated by 150 of the electors . Director Sutton wanted this type of study done before engaging any of the con- sultants previously interviewed over the past three months . Paul Chamberlain spoke briefly on this subject. He mentioned that several years ago he had tried to follow this section of the Code, but that the experts available could not come near the time table and maximum cost of $2 , 500 set up in the Code. He thought that possibly now they have more experts available that could meet the requirements set out in each section. This study would be handled by a motion by the board; however, no action will be taken at this time . Paul Chamberlain said he would contact the P.U.C. and inquire as to if they felt they had competent people to follow through with this examination. BEAVERS' CASE The judge presiding over this case has awarded the decision on the trial to the Truckee-Donner Public Utility District . Beavers ' attorney has indicated he will appeal this decision. He has sixty days to do so; and after appealing, the court can send the case back, affirm the decision, or affirm it with modifications . Mrs. Sutton asked how we decide what attorney takes on certain matters of the district. She was told that we have no rules on it , but that Martin McDonough usually takes the rate cases and Paul Chamberlain takes on the smaller legal matters dealing with resolutions , contracts , and legal procedures. Director Sutton questioned how the retainer cost was figured. The $100 per month retainer paid to Mr. Chamberlain covers four hours per month office time at $25 per hour. The ex- cess over $100 per month is billed to the district on a yearly basis . Miscellaneous expenses are billed separately. ENERGY CRISIS We have met with Sierra Pacific last week and the P.U.C. has asked all customers to use ten percent less power. We are being asked to reduce consumption by ten percent over last year. This does not take into consideration the growth of the area. Manager proposed preparing a mailer telling the consumer how specifically they could use less electricity. The TRPA has appealed to the Public Utilities Commission in both Nevada and California by a resolution prepared by Governor Reagon' s assistant which would urge the P.U.C. to stop making new energy connections mandatory. It is uncertain as to how far this recommen- dation will go. We have received two requests for letters to the County stating we will supply water and power to these projects . One request is for a six-unit condominium in Tahoe Donner and the other is for approximately 20 lots developed by George Gardai near the Prosser Heights Dam. The Board did not feel we should write these letters stating we could supply them with utilities . Director R. Anderson asked Mr. Paulus if there is any way of fig- uring out what percentage of the total district' s usage that has increased with new home owners from last year so that we could show a certain percentage of increase that is due to population. Mr. Paulus said this could be done since we know how many services we do each month. The result would not be 100% but it would be an attempt on our part. John Craig did not know how we could be reducing and expanding at the same time. It was decided that the manager would write these two developers stating that at this time we have been asked to cut down consumption by ten percent and that we are in the process of evaluating the seriousness of the energy shortage. BACKHOE LEASE Oroville Truck & Tractor has contacted us regarding the purchase of the rental backhoe . They have drawn up a rental agreement which page 194 Bachoe Lease . . . continued Page Four December 4, 1973 guarantees them a minimum lease of four months next construction season. It was moved by Director R. Anderson and seconded by Director J. Craig that the board authorize the manager to sign the agreement for the lease of the backhoe for the next construction season with a minimum four-month lease . ROLL CALL: J. Craig, aye ; D. Anderson, absent ; P. Sutton, no; R. An erson,aye ; R. Waters , aye. So moved. WATER ASSESSMENT - W. RIVER STREET We have contacted Dan Cook regarding assessment procedures for West River Street . He will be up next week and manager will dis- cuss this at more length. The first step to be taken is to cir- culate a petition among the property owners . Upon getting a minimum 60 percent of the property owners , we then have public hearings on the project. The Sanitary District is assessing approximately four areas ; one of which is believed to be the West River Street property. There would be some administrative savings by combining these two assessments. The estimate on this waterline installation is $120 , 000. Director Craig did not want to see a fire on West River Street and have a property owner say that there was not fire pro- tection because the P.U.D. did not want to put in a waterline for this protection. However, there will not be a large net of return on the monthly water billings . It was moved by Director Sutton that the manager proceed with the preliminary steps necessary for the formation of an assessment dis- trict to supply water to W. River Street in Truckee. Her motion was seconded by Director R. Anderson. ROLL CALL : J. Craig, aye ; D. Anderson, absent; P. Sutton, aye ; R. Anderson, aye; R. Waters , aye. So moved. PAUL CHAMBERLAIN, ATTORNEY AT LAW Director Sutton asked Mr. Chamberlain what the difference was between a resolution and an ordinance. Mr. Chamberlain said that resolutions are used for rules and regulations and policies . This is because they are a little more flexible and more subject to change than an ordin- ance. Ordinances are for officer' s salaries , rates , and taxes or debt matters . Before an ordinance become effective , they have to be posted and published which gives the people more of a chance to become involved, and protest if necessary. In a challenge, ordi- nances and resolutions are equally recognized in a court of law. An ordinance has no more weight than a resolution. There are three actions that can be taken on Board matters . They are : a motion, a resoltuion, and an ordinance. Mrs . Sutton asked if the district is obligated to enforce or to seek relief from in some way on the Prosser Lakeview Estates con- tract. This contract is not being adhered to . The property has been sold since the original contract was made up . Mr. Chamberlain said he would look into this matter and report back to the board. Director Sutton wished a clarification on the contract dealing with water rights for Donner Lake and Donner Creek. She was not sure if Mr. Chamberlain would handle this or Mr. McDonough. The rights are confusing and she wished a confirmation. Mr. Chamberlain said he would contact Mr. McDonough for his opinion. Director Sutton questioned the letter of November 16 to the Depart- ment of Real Estate. Her concern was in the last sentence on the first page which assures adequate water service to approximately 3, 700 lots and 200 condominium units in Tahoe Donner. She did not feel that the well being constructed at present will be adequae for these needs . Mr. Paulus explained to her that should the first well prove inadequate, Dart will construct other wells at their expense as agreed to in the new water agreement. Director Sutton did not feel that was what the letter stated. Mr. Chamberlain said he would look into this matter upon receipt of the necessary papers on the subject. Page 195 Paul Chamberlain . . . continued Page Five December 4, 1973 Director Sutton asked for the details on the hiring of Tom Paulus as manager on November 6, 1973. She challenged the legality of his hiring based on the appointment not having the action taken in public. After the executive session, the board went back into a regular meeting to declare Mr. Paulus manager; however, there was no vote taken at that time nor is there any public record of it. Mr . Chamber- lain said he would look into this also. Director Sutton asked Mr. Chamberlain if the board is restricted to act on just the subjects that are on the agenda. Mr. Chamberlain said that for a regular meeting, the topics are not limited to just the agenda items. However, on a special meeting, the board must follow the agenda items as posted. I Mr. Paulus asked Mr. Chamberlain if he could discuss a Union subject, the hiring of an employee who is not an officer, and a salary increase in an executive session. The union contract matter can be discussed, consideration of appointment of personnel can be discussed, and sal- aries can be discussed only in the event it would involve dismissal or disciplinary action, reduction in salary and so forth. The later item can, _therefore, not be discussed in an executive session. An executive session does not have to appear on the agenda: to have one. Director Sutton asked Mr. Chamberlain to look into the legality of George Cattan' s retirement and vacation pay. She was aware of the evaluation he had written sometime ago on this but wished to have the subject re-assessed primarily to see if the union agreement covers administrative employees . - She was also curious as to the retroactive provision of credit for prior service when a retirement program is initiated. John Craig raised the question of what record was kept on the number of days George Cattan used. He pointed out that the number of days used by the employee is based on his honesty to report them. Director Sutton asked Attorney Chamberlain to look into the sale of property at an advertised bid amount and then is awarded to a bidder for lower than the advertised minimum. Director Sutton gave specific examples of when this was done -- - the sale of the property to Lakeworld in July 1972 and the sale of the Ford LTD to Mr. Tonini in September 1973. MANAGER' S REPORT We are presently attempting to repair the P.U.D. snowmobile. We were afraid we were not going to be able to fix it, as the motor had to be replaced. If we are unable to find the correct size motor to install, we may have to purchase another one for the winter months . Gasoline and oil bids have been sent out for 1974. It is uncertain as to what type of response we will receive on these. Our present supplier, Atlantic Richfield, has informed us that they might not be serving any customers that do not have 2 , 000 gallons storage . Our present tank capacity is 500 gallons . In the event we do not get any bidders , Manager has spoken with local service stations asking if they would be interested in serving out ga9aline needs at a discount. The answer to this was no. The warehouse is heated with oil . The bids are scheduled to be opened January 2 , 1974 . .—. Our January 1 , 1974, meeting falls on a holiday. Therefore, the meeting is scheduled for January 2 , 1974, on Wednesday. The Northside well is down 269 feet . The drilling is down a foot an hour. No one knows exactly how far down we will have to go. They are expected to drill 500 feet for 500 gallons of water per minute . The 15 o power increase from Sierra Pacific will be effective December 31 , 1973. The rate of return for Sierra Pacific is being questioned by two F.P. C. employees . Sierra Pacific is scheduled to prove their rate of return on December 28 . Martin McDonough will be in Washington the 15th of January for a pre-hearing conference. Cross examination of the witnesses will be the following day. Director Sutton asked Mr. Paulus to come up with some figures on what percent- age of the wholesale increase will we be able to absorb. Page 196 Manager' s Report . . . continued Page Six December 4, 1973 The policies which management is working on are about 10o completed. Mr. Paulus asked for volunteers from the board to meet with manage- ment and go over the policies . Director J. Craig and R. Waters volunteered to meet with management on this . Director R. Anderson volunteered as an alternate. The lighting of the Christmas tree in Downtown Truckee has brought more controversy than expected. After President Nixon asked that all unnecessary lighting be discontinued, Mr. Paulus assumed this included the Christmas tree. The Downtown Merchants are very un- happy with this decision. Director R. Anderson thought we were asked to curtail usage and by cutting the lighting time down from 25 days to 10 days and from 24 hours a day to five hours a day, we have conserved on the energy used. The Board decided to light the Christmas tree this year. Manager has reduced the monthly depreciation expense for the water department from 4 . 87% to 3. 370 . At the end of August , the water department broke even. The depreciation expense is based on rates and there is no way of being 100o sure. Mr. Paulus thought we were closer in figures now than we were with the 4. 870 . Director Craig asked what was the status of the Southside well . Manager told Director Craig that the driller was going to remove his equipment within the next two days . He came into the office today, but Mr. Paulus did not have the opportunity to speak with him. As soon as his equipment is removed, we will have our geologist examine the casing. It has been tested at 250 gallons per minute . The well has not been accepted by the District as yet . Regarding the power lines in Tahoe Donner, Director Craig asked if the office kept any kind of update on the total percentage on what is completed and how many lots have been served. We have about 100 customers now and several others that have requested power. The project is about 40 o completed. Director Craig asked about the employee safety program. Manager told him that Ken Krajewski is handling this aspect very well . The men have been assigned to speak on various topics related to their work on safety procedures . Director Craig thought that it is very important to the employees that management get involved in the pro- gram. He urged participation by management in this program. Manager reported that the safety program has improved. Director Craig was told that the E. River Street line extension to the few customers whose well went dry has been completed. We had a couple complaints because the work was not done fast enough. This was as a result of waterlines breaking in the downtown area when the street was paved. Director Craig inquired as to the net increase from the flat water rate policy for monthly billing of water. Manager reported an approx- imate 20 gain of overall revenue . There being no further business to come before the Board, it was moved by Director R. Anderson and seconded by Director Sutton that the regular meeting be adjourned. All aye ; motion carried. The secretary was excused and the directors and manager remained for an executive session. The Board went into executive session to hear the request for a salary increase for Ken Krajewski which was denied and listen to the proposed revision of Resolution 7310 , Section 4. 1 regard- ing hours of standby. This was also refused. The proposal to engage a part-time employee to work in the warehouse and possibly assist the meter reader was approved. The executive session adjourned, the regular meeting reconvened, the results of the executive session were announced and then the meeting adjourned.

B. Gilbert & Associates is pleased to submit this letter proposal to assist the District in its financial and institutional planning. Our firm is described in the attached brochure, except that we have recently added several staff members so that our total professional staff now includes 12 engineers. We are currently working on financial and revenue programs for the Tahoe City Public Utility District, the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation ' District, and have similar work underway in connection with the West Contra Costa Wastewater Agency. Sc Based on our discussion on November 15 , the following preliminary scope of work appears appropriate. Review records of District operating experience, . agreements with other Districts, analyze service contracts, and revenue and expense experience. Develop a range of customer and revenue projections so that the District can determine which projections it wishes to use in long-term.- financial planning. Prepare a future financial plan which will consider the use of bonds, operating revenues, connection charges, and other sources as a combined base for financing future District operations . Analyze the status of cemetery, recreation, park, and sanitary districts with regard to boundaries , { operation and financial condition to determine the desirability of acquisition or merger with these other agencies. r Consulting Services ❑ Environment ❑Water ❑Wastewater ❑Governmental Affairs Page 198 r r~ rr N d U1 K a a n mKV0P.0 rt, K mactro I= cn ro En �rmm to 0 ::1m0m m F-jrt Ff-Wn rtO N•mOv Q 0 In QL 0 FD+ K (D LQ t-h p-:4 F.,.K bd m FA K K & ft rr n N rt 1-3 P.:3: I-Ij R.rt 0 m FJ-rr P-cn :� m 040 rt rt O H O rt o N•m kC 0 F-'•K o o a O m O o FnammFJ- F✓ Q:JOOnFJ-F-J- CD K 0 a '"0tov O rtJF-J• x:ja a � rt K ro O rt ::1 cn 0 rt 0 M o K a m m o rr rr m rr cn F-J H K K a rt En C 0 rt P.0PizICLOcn LQ 0KcnK :Y FJ-mm�C Fd F-�r rt FJ-0 K m a m a a o : w : m a 0 a m 0 K a N p, n a a m n o rt F-+ En O N• :j tr Z N-F-J O FJ-I'C m G m m rt Kz m �rcacn0v cntfiF-J atr 6Cmrt, N• a "0 0 dm mam • a�c 0 rt FJ-FJ-O a FJ- H w ro o 0 o N N o O H m FJ-N-o 6,4 rt � �' aaszF-- KK cnca � m00 a rrFJZ 5 cnm 5a �' En �O rt a 0 m H. rt rt • tr to n 0 0 �r rd rt a H O rt'd'b rt K CJ m � m K :3'rt Pi:� :4 0 a P. a m F-+O rr K K N Fn p•:3 K H:3d ti K m N•z � rd a 0CAH-0cn0 : b go ,�r"s om O EnLQ4aaa P.0z (nrr IV O :�: rt'zd rt�C rt F-+En 0 rt- 0 0 m K to t-h to � F J-a 1 0 � to n 0 rt mO K CA a K K a 0 N•F-J O N• m & m En rt & rt p- rt ro a K -- V O ►� cn K m a �t H, PA LQ a m G� z � n "a a rt : rt N•m En En � rt' FJ- m'"0�.

For the purpose of a preliminary estimate we believe that the work needed by the District should not exceed $10,0 0 0 in accumulated time charged during the period. Time and expenses would be charged in accordance with the attached schedule. We look forward to discussing the project at your meeting of December 5 . Very truly yours, J. B.
