BILLS FOR BOARD' S APPROVAL Mr. Craig asked for a list showing outstanding accounts payable. The Directors felt this procedure should be followed until a new account- ing system can be established. The manager said this would be done for the next meeting in January. It was moved by Director Waters and seconded by Director Anderson that the bills be paid. ROLL CALL: Waters , aye; Sutton, aye ;- Anderson, aye; Craig, aye . OLD BUSINESS Presentation of Award for Winning Design on PUD Decal : The President presented Je A ams , a student at Sierra Mountain Intermediate School , a $25 savings bond for his design of the PUD emblem. The emblem was passed around in the audience. Mr. Craig thanked Jeff for his effort and stated that the board appreciated the school system cooper- ating with the District in staging the contest. Mr. Hobensack was directed to look into having the emblem prepared in the form of a decal or magnetic sign. Resolution Regarding Collection of Electric Surcharge : Joe Joynt prepared a resolution opposing the collection of an energy surcharge tax on consumers of electrical energy. It was moved by Director Waters and seconded by Director Sutton that Resolution 7437 be adopted and Mr. Hobensack be authorized to attend the meeting in Sacramento to present the resolution to the State Board of Equalization the following day. ROLL CALL : Waters , aye ; Sutton, aye; Anderson, aye ; Craig, aye. Status of Contract to Purchase Water Line at Douglas Lumber MILL: The water meter at the Mill was read for the first time in 13 months which resulted in a catch-up bill to the Mill in the amount of $4, 409. 10. Mr. Hobensack researched the files and found that a contract with the mill provided for a $SS per month allowance on the Mill ' s monthly water bill to pay for the purchase of a water line by the District. However, when the meter was not read, the allowance was also not given. The amount still outstanding by the District to the Mill for the purchase of the water line is $2 ,860. 00. Mr. Hobensack proposed crediting the $2 , 860 still owing the mill against the catch-up water bill . Mr. Waters moved that the outstanding bill of $2 , 860 owing for the water system be deducted from the amount of the catch-up bill. The remainder will be billed to Douglas for payment. The motion was seconded by Director Sutton and passed by unanimous vote. Riverview Mobilehome Park: Mr. Hobensack prepared a memo to the directors showing thedistrict's policy for water services . The District ' s responsibility stops at the curb which would mean that water lines within the trailer park are not to be maintained by the District. The manager was directed to write to the subject mobile- home park owner and explain that all future repairs that are done by the District will be at the Park' s expense. The Board asked that a copy of this letter be sent to the Directors . Miscellaneous : Mr. Hobensack reported that he has not been able to get the copies of the Dart Resorts billings for contract work (inspection, etc. ) . This is being worked on. NEW BUSINESS Discussion on Acceptance of Tahoe Donner Water Lines : Chairman Craig explained that as a result of an executive session yesterday with Dan Cook, the District ' s water consultant, the Board was informed that the water lines , tanks and pumps at Tahoe Donner are not completed to Mr. Cook' s satisfaction. Mr. Cook has given notice to Dart Resorts of the deficiencies in the system that must be corrected. The position of the Board at this time is that acceptance of the water system should not take place until the lines are accept- able to the District' s engineer. Dan Cook reported to the Board that he was not aware at the time of yesterday' s executive session that two of the six bowls in the North- side well pump were broken and have been replaced. This replace- ment could mean that the well will produce to its expected capacity. Mr. Cook anticipated that the pump will be back to operation tomorrow for a performance test. Dart is presently attempting to correct the 62 items on the booster stations and tanks inspection report. The three most significant items on the list were the Northside Well reinstallation of the pump and performance test , the performance test on each of the boosters within Tahoe Donner, and the telemetry system that operates the Stockholm pump station which provides service to Zone 7A and Unit 6. Charles Doskow proposed that once the Northside well is satisfac- torily tested, Dart Resorts be allowed to bond the cost of the re- mainder of the work within Tahoe Donner. The bonding would either be with a security bond or cash deposit. Mr. Doskow explained that Dart Resorts is eager to have the water lines accepted prior to January 1 for two reasons : 1) A five-million-dollar letter of credit will have to be renewed by Dart Resorts presently being held by the Department of Real Estate , and 2) there are 4. 5 million dollars in improvement bonds that can be released. Mr. Doskow said that the acceptance of the lines is related to the Letter of Credit posted with the Dept. of Real Estate in that they will release the Letter of Credit under two conditions . They are : 1) acceptance of the off-site water system by the PUD, and 2) receipt of Cook Associates report on water sources . Mr. Craig informed Dart that the board is willing to cooporate with Dart regarding these problems so that they may be resolved. He said that Dart Resorts is repeatedly reminding the District of its con- tractural obligations and that at the present time , the District is having an auditing firm check the accounts dealing with payments due the District under the water contract. At this time, Mr. Craig was not sure that Dart Resorts has fully met its contractural obli- gation. There was discussion of holding negotiations regarding the water line acceptance in executive session; it was decided to discuss them in open session. Discussion was tabled untilthe end of the meeting following the regular agenda items so the Dart representatives could discuss conditions of acceptance with Dan Cook privately. Bright ' s Mobilehome Park: This matter was tabled until another time as the construction contract is still under negotiation with Mr. Calvin Bright, Mr. Hobensack, Mr. Cook, and Mr. Joynt. Director Sutton requested a copy of the proposed agreement be sent to the directors prior to being placed on the agenda for action. Page Two Dec. 17, 1974 (A �-. �J F DISTRICT COUNSEL REPORT Rejection of Guzman Claim: Mr. Joynt advised the Board that letters have been written to the District' s two insurance carriers and another letter is going to be written to a third carrier. A notice of re- jection of the Guzman Claim was prepared by Mr. Joynt. It was moved by Director Waters and seconded by Director Anderson that the Guzman claim be rejected. The directors questioned the next procedure to be followed by the Guzman' s which Mr. Joynt answered. ROLL CALL: Waters , aye ; Sutton, aye; Anderson, aye ; Craig, aye . Director Sutton wondered if Dart Resorts should not be answering this claim as Lakeworld/Dart Resorts contracts provide that the District shall be held harmless. John Craig asked whether the water that overflowed was as a result of the Northside well pumping water into the district ' s system. Mr. Joynt thought that it would be the claimants responsibility to present a damage claim to Dart. Miscellaneous : Regarding the electric standby charge , Mr. Joynt has corresponded with Mr. Trauner of Nevada County who stated that the County can provide a computer print-out of the parcel owners within the PUD. Mr. Joynt did not think there was anything further he could do until the District receives the computer print-out . Mr. Joynt also advised the Board that the water standby law has been on the books since 1969 and could be enforced as soon as the applicable boundaries are determined. The two standby matters were tabled until Dan Cook was again present at the meeting. MANAGER I S REPORT Switching at Donner Lake Substation: Mr. Hobensack reported that the District has been successful in reducing the number of kilowatt hours consumed year-to-date. By switching the peak demand from the Donner Lake substation to the Truckee Substation, Mr. Hobensack reported that the District has saved $1 , 103 in its power bill. Attendance of Manager to Northern California Power Agency Meeting : �,.. The Directors agreed that the Manager should attend meetings sponsored by the Northern California Power Agency. Miscellaneous : The Sacramento Municipal Utility District has notified the District they intend to look into construction of a new nuclear power plant in Sacramento and is asking if the District would be interested in buying a portion of the plant . Mr. HObensack said at this time it would be advantagous to indicate an interest in the nuclear plant , which will not obligate the District financially in any way at this time. The majority of the directors favored indicating an interest. Director Sutton did not wish to indicate an interest. Mr. Hobensack advised the Board that he would like to advertise in the paper for a temporary, part-time office employee to do the Board minutes while the present secretary is on a leave-of-absence. Director Sutton asked that this matter be continued in the executive session planned following the regular meeting. Mr. Hobensack reported that on Thursday, December 19 , at 8 : 00 p .m. , the Donner Memorial at the Donner State Park will be lit by the lights installed by the District . The Park Officials and Tinker Belles Garden Club have extended an invitation to the Board to be present for this event. Due to the amount of service wire being used for electrical services , Mr. Hobensack requested the District purchase additional wire and asked for Board authorization. Mr. Hobensack felt from past exper- ience that a lower price can be obtained by telephone contracts rather than through bidding procedure . The next anticipated purchase is 6, 000 feet of service wire at an estimated cost of no more than $3 , 000. Mr. Hobensack speculated that the District could possibly run out of its existing stock of wire by the next Board meeting. Mr. Joynt explained the Public Utilities Code requirement for calling of bids on materials in excess of $2 , 000. Director Sutton moved that because of the shortage of wire and difficulty in obtaining it, an emergency situation does exist and the Board waives the bidding procedure and authorizes the manager to purchase no more than $3, 000 in aluminum service wire. Seconded by Director Anderson. ROLL CALL: Waters , no ; Sutton, aye ; Anderson, aye ; Craig, aye . So moved. Page Three - Dec. 17 , 1974 5 v The Board indicated it did not wish to circumvent the law requiring bids . Dan Cook was now present so that he could report on his involvement with the water and electric standby charge. He advised the Board that the map is prepared and the County can extract parcels from the Tax Area Code. The District will then have to review the map and listing to determine which parcels do not have service available. Mr. Cook estimated the cost of the computer print-out to be approx- imately $2 , 000. Mr. Cook thought that this tax could be added to the 1975-76 tax roll by the January deadline . Tahoe Donner Water Lines (continued) : As a result of the caucus held with Dan Cook and Dart representatives , Mr. Cook reported that � Dart is requesting acceptance of the Northside well , Donner Trails booster station and tank, Soma Sierra booster station, Innsbruck booster station and tank, Alder Creek pump station, Stockholm booster station and tank, Donner View Booster Station and tank, Pinnacle Loop booster station and tank, Ski Lodge tank (but not the Ski Lodge booster) , plus all the underground water works in units 1 , 2 , 3A, 4, 5 , 6 , and 7. Mr. Cook estimated $30 , 000 would be the amount to finish the underground works in the above listed units and $33 , 500 for the booster stations and tanks . He proposed the $63 , 500 either be covered by cash deposit in the District' s bank with Dart collect- ing the interest or by a Letter of Credit in the full amount. If the District bonds around the work to be completed, the District' s guarantee for the construction would commence at this point. The bonding will also mean the District is accepting completion and title of the physical plant and operation and maintenance would also commence for the portion of the system that had been accepted. Mr. Dick Carlson explained the Department of Real Estate ' s position in the matter of the Tahoe Donner water lines . He thought Dart' s urgency to have the lines accepted is that the $5 , 000 ,000 letter of credit to guarantee certain things will be done will have to be renewed. The DRE will regard the District ' s acceptance of the water lines under the bonding arrangement as fulfilling part of the developer' s agreement with the DRE. He said it was important that .--� the Board express some confidence in the report which Dan Cook has prepared indicating the District believes the report provides a feasible manner in which the current number of lots in the units within the development can be served with water by this District. The present position of the DRE is that there will be no public reports issued by the DRE on additional units until such time as alternate water sources are developed. (That either means Donner Lake or wells) Director Sutton asked Mr. Carlson if the DRE is considering foreclosing on the Letter of Credit to pay back the lot owners . Mr. Carlson said the DRE has no such intention. Director Craig expressed the Board' s feelings that they are under alot of pressure from various parties due to the Donner Lake with- drawal project, the Donner Creek water withdrawal , and the groundwater study under preparation. The Grand Jury report issued recently does not favor withdrawal of water from Donner Lake ; and yet, under the present obligations to Dart, the District has to vigorously pursue water withdrawal from Donner Lake or be subject to a possible law- suit. Mr. Doskow said that Dart feels the question of Donner Lake water is one that ought to be resolved and they are willing to make whatever arrangements are necessary to develop four further units and put an end to the problem. Roy Waters moved that Dan Cook, Chuck Doskow, Mr. Hobensack, and ... Mr. Joynt meet together after the testing of the Northside well , and present something to the Board at a special meeting regarding the terms of acceptability of the Tahoe Donner water system at the earliest convenience of everybody. Mr. Cook advised the Board that if the Northside well does not test out tomorrow at a minimum of 700 gpm, the matter of the Tahoe Donner line acceptance would be completely forgotten until the well can produce a minimum of 700 gpm. Seconded by Director Anderson. ROLL CALL: Waters , aye ; Sutton, no ; Craig, aye ; Anderson, aye. Mr. Ho ensack was made Chairman of this committee and was directed by Mr. Craig to notify him when a proposal is ready for presentation to the Board. Mr. Joynt advised the Board that he plans to take a vacation the week of December 23 through 27 and would not be available at that time to advise the board on this matter. The Chairman suggested asking Page Four - Dec. 17 , 1974 1� r' Tahoe Donner Water Lines . . . continued Martin McDonough if he could advise the Board and this particular committee in preparing a proposal for the Board. Mr. Doskow told the Board that he would be agreeable to waiting until the next regular meeting to discuss the water lines if the District ' s counsel cannot be available . Director Sutton suggested having the Board meet with its consultants and come up with a counter-proposal to Dart ' s pro- posal on some of the other deficiences in the past contracts . Mr. Doskow did not feel any negotiation could be held in this context. The Board reviewed a draft letter prepared by Dan Cook to the DRE regarding water sources to supply the subdivision. A copy of this draft is attached as part of the minutes . The supplemental water agreement, the Exhibit B facilities (Donner Creek) and the Dart payments to the District were discussed. Director Waters moved that Cook Associate' s letter be directed to the Department of Real Estate to the attention of Richard E. Carlson. Rex Anderson seconded this motion. ROLL CALL : Craig, aye ; Sutton, aye ; Waters , aye ; Anderson, aye. There being no further business to come before the Board, it was moved by Director Waters and seconded by Director Anderson that the meeting adjourn to executive session. So moved. The regular meet- ing adjourned to executive session at 10 : 50 p.m. Following the executive session, the meeting reconvened to regular session. Roy Waters moved that the bill to Joe Joynt in the amount of $2 , 455 . 55 be paid along with the other bills approved for payment at tonight ' s meeting. Seconded by P. Sutton. All aye . The Board agreed that the manager shall hire a temporary employee to fill the temporary vacancy created by Merrilyn Kinzie ' s leave of absence. eo"., John Craig clarified the position of the Board regarding the meeting of the committee established to present a proposal to the Board on the Tahoe Donner water lines . He informed everyone that there apparently is no hurry for acceptance of the water lines and that whenever the committee has decided on a proposal to present to the Board, then that will be when the special meeting will be held. Director Anderson wanted to be sure that the financial arrangements to be made are sufficient to protect the District should the money have to be utilized. Director Sutton suggested discussion of the need for another supple- mental water agreement be held early in January with Martin McDonough. Mr. Hobensack was asked to look into when Mr. McDonough would be available to meet with the Board no later than mid-January. It was moved by Director Waters that the meeting adjourn. Seconded by Director Anderson. All aye ; meeting adjourned at 11 : 30 p.m. TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT By: o n raig, Pre nt of the Board Merr 1 Kinzie Recording cretary Page Five - Dec. 17 , 1974 ?� )J RESOLUTION NO. 74 37 of the TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT OPPOSING THE PROVISIONS OF THE WARREN-ALQUIST STATE ENERGY RESOURCES CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACT (A.B. 1575 , CH. 2769 1974) WHICH IMPOSES AN ENERGY SURCHARGE TAX ON CONSUMERS OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY 4 WHEREAS, TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT is a public utility district organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of California as set forth in the Public Utilities District Act, Division 7, Sections 15501 , et sea. , of the Public Utilities Code, with principal office located at Truckee , Nevada County, California; and WHEREAS, the WARREN-ALQUIST STATE ENERGY RESOURCES CON- SERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACT would require the district as of January 7, 1975 , to impose on and collect from its electrical energy consumers a surcharge and tax to be collected and paid over to the State Board of Equalization to be used for purposes as stated in said Act; and, WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT being fully advised and having duly considered the provisions of said Act including its financial impact and burden on the consumers of the district and the district ; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT, as follows : 1 . The Truckee-Donner Public Utility District opposes those provisions of the Act that would require as of January 7 , 1975, the collecting from electrical energy consumers of a surcharge and tax for the following reasons : a) TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT is a small publicly-owned utility district serving electrical energy in a small area to primarily residential consumers ; b) The electrical energy surcharge and tax on such small , residential consumers is an additional burden and charge that should not at this time be imposed on small consumers and tax payers ; c) The collection of the energy surcharge tax, the additional bookkeeping, and the services required by the District in reporting and paying thereon will cost the District approximately one-third (1/3) of the monies generated thereby; d) The Act failed to provide for reimbursement to the District or collecting agent and failed to provide any leg- islative appropriation for the execution of the purposes stated; as a result thereof, these additional costs and expenses will be eventually passed on to the electrical energy consumer thus adding yet another financial burden; e) The Act arbitrarily exempts certain electrical energy consumers from payment of the surcharge tax to the ulti- mate financial discrimination of those consumers not exempt. Page Two Resolution No. 7437 2 . TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT calls upon the Legislature of the State of California and all persons and agencies charged by the Act with enforcement thereof to repeal, toll or waive the provisions of the Act calling for collection of the electrical energy surcharge.

ALLEN HENRY TEICHERT trJ PAU L A.BERG OANI[L F.GALLERY July 9, 1963 RICHARD DIEBOLD LEE Board of Directors Truckee Public Utility District Truckee, California _4 Re: Opinion ow Validity of Incorporation and Existence of Truckee Public Utility District Gentlemen: Pursuant to your request, we have examined the records and files pertaining to the incorporation of the Truckee Public Utility District in 1927 and to proceedings had by the District for annexation of additional territory since its formation, and our findings and conclusions, together with a certified transcript, are set forth below. Based upon our examination of these records, it is our opinion that all of the proceedings for the incorpor- ation of the District were regularly and legally conducted under applicable law; that each of the two annexation proceedings which y have been conducted by the District since its incorporation were regularly and legally conducted under applicable law; and that the District is presently a legally organized and incorporated public utility District under the California Public Utility Dis- trict Act (Division 7 of the Public Utilities Code, Sections 15501 to 18004, inclusive) , having the boundaries described in Exhibit 1 attached hereto, and that it holds and may exercise all of the rights, powers and privileges of a district organized t under that Act, includin the power to borrow funds from the United States under Sect on 16578 of said Code (Ch. 543, Stats. 1963, approved May 22, 1963) . Formation of District* The proceedings for the incorporation of the District were had under the forerunner to the present Public Utility District Act, bein Chapter 560 of the Statutes of 1921 (Sp 906 g he Statutes of 1923 a s amended b Chapter 146 of t et seq) , y p * All of the formation documents hereinafter referred to are attached as exhibits to this opinion, were obtained from the office of the County Clerk of Nevada County, California, and were collectively certified as true and correct copies by the County Clerk, (Exhibit 2) . t' r Board of Directors -2- July 9, 1963 convenience a co of the portions of (pp 298 et seq) . For copy these two chapters dealing with the formation of a public utility district are attached as Exhibits 3 and 4, and all of the following references to the "Act" refer thereto. The ..., petition for incorporation (consisting of three separate in- struments) was filed in the office of the County Clerk of Nevada County on March 7, 1927 (Exhibit 5) . The petition adequately described and set forth the boundaries of the pro- posed District, (consisting generally of approximately 1200 acres in the vicinity of Truckee, California) , declared that each elector signing the same resided within the territory within said boundaries, contained the name of the Proposed District to wit, 'Truckee Public Utility District ' and the address of ,each signatory -to the petition, and the petition -was otherwise in the form and had the contents required by the ap- plicable sections of the above statutes. All of the territory described in the -petition lay wholly within Nevada County, California, hence there was only a single unit in the formation of the district within the meaning of Section 3 of said Act. Attached to each instrument comprising the formation petition is the affidavit of a verification deputy acknowledg- ing the signature of and attesting to the genuineness of the signature and address of each signatory to the petition. Also attached to the petition is the certificate of the County Clerk of Nevada County, made and executed the day of filing the petition, attesting that the signatories to the petition were qualified electors residing within the unincorporated territory described in the petition, and that their number exceeded fifteen (15) per cent of all the votes cast for all candidates for governor .within the territory at the last pre- ceding general election at which a governor was elected, and certifying to the sufficiency of the petition. A sufficient application for the formation of each of the verification deputies was regularly filed with the County Clerk (Exhibit 6) , together with their respective oaths (Exhibit s 7) . The written evidence of the Clerk' s appointment is on file only with respect to one of the three deputies (Exhibit 8) , but each of their certificates attached to the petition for incor- poration recite their due appointment and the County Clerk certified to the sufficiency of the petition, so it would appear to be a safe assumption that all three were regularly appointed by the Clerk. The statutes did not require that written evidence of their appointment be returned to or filed with the County Clerk. The incorporation petition was, on the day of its being filed with the County Clerk, presented to the Board of Supervisors of Nevada County, and said Board did by resolution i; Board of Directors -3- July 9, 1963 thereupon fix a time and place for hearing of the petition within fifteen days after final publication of the notice of the hearing, to wit, on Monday, April 4, 1927, in the Board of Supervisors Chambers in the Courthouse at Nevada City, Nevada County, California (Exhibit 9) . The Board of Super- visors did within ten days after the presentation of the petition publish a copy thereof, together with a Notice of Dearing (Exhibit 10) , ten consecutive times in "The Morning Union" (commencing on March 17, 1927) , declared by the Board of Supervisors totbe a weekly newspaper of general circulation, printed, published and circulated in Truckee, Nevada County, California, and within the proposed District. Exhibits 11 and 12 are the respective Affidavits of Publication. The Board of Supervisors found and determined in its aforesaid Resolution (Exhibit 9) that no daily newspaper was then printed, published and circulated within the proposed district. The hearing was held on April 4, 1927, and on said day the Board of Supervisors adopted its resolution determin- ing and finding that the formation petition complied with the law and that the signatures thereon were sufficient, that notice had been published as required, declaring that it had .heard all competent and relevant testimony offered in support of or in opposition to the petition for incorporation, and defined and established the boundaries of the district as fixed in the petition (Exhibit 13) . Thereafter on the same . date the Board by Ordinance 127 (Exhibit 14) called and fixed the time of an election to be held in the proposed district, specifying t its purpose, to wit, to determine whether the district would be incorporated, established the election precincts, designated the polling places and the names of the election officers. The election was called to be held not less than twenty days nor more than forty days after the completion of publication of notice of election, to wit, on May b, 1927, and the Ordinance together with Notice of Election (Exhibit 15) , was published . prior to such election on April 7, 14, 21, 28 and May 5, 1927, r. the "Truckee Republican", a weekly newspaper of general cir- culation, p , y culation, printed, published and circulated in Truckee, California and within the proposed district (Exhibit lb) . The aforesaid Ordinance also directed publication in the 'Morning Union" above referred to but no affidavit of publication in this newspaper is on f ile with the County - Clerk. We would not, consider an ommis- sion to publish in the last-named newspaper would affect the proceedings because the Statute only required publication twice in a weekly newspaper printed, published and circulating within the proposed district. The statute also required that Notice 4. of the Election be posted in at least two public places within s K i A i - 1 f Board of Directors -4- July 9, 1963 the unincorporated territory for at least ten days prior to such election but we did not find an Affidavit of the posting of such Notice among the ppacket of formation papers in the office of the County lerk either did we find n Co y C N i any evidence "�"'' that the Notice was not posted, so nothing appears to rebut the presumption that the "affixtal duty (was) regularly performed." (C.C.P. 1963, 15) . The osting of the notice was scheduled on a checklist (Exhibit 17 among the formation papers, which was probably prepared by the attorneys assistin in the formation of the District. Even if it were assumed t at the posting of this Notice were omitted, if it does not appear that a sufficient number of electors were deprived of notice so that the result might have been different, the failure of notice will not affect the outcome of the election. Stumpf v. Board f Su ervisors (1901) 131 Cal. 364. The Notice ot the ect on was regularly published in the newspaper (Exhibit 16) , and the County Clerk was apparently required in addition to mail sample g ballots to each registered elector in the proposed district prior to the election (Elections Code Sect.1.0012, then Political Code Sect. 1210; See Stats. 1915, Ch. 508, p 837) . As will be seen below, the outcome of this election on the incorporation of the District was 148 votes in favor and 59 votes against. A total of 207 votes were cast and it appears from the County. Clerk' s attached to the incorporation petition that the certificate p total number of votes cast b the people at the next preceding gubernitorial election (1926 was 273. We would assume from the large number of votes cast at this election that the matter of the election was well publicized by the newspaper in advance and that it could not be demonstrated that a failure of posting, if it did in fact occur, deprived a sufficient number of voters from voting so as to result in a possible difference in the out- come in the election. Section 6 of the Act further required that the elec- tion be held and conducted in conformity with the law for the holding of special elections within counties and prescribed the form of the ballot. The ballots, election returns and other evidence of the actual conducting of the election are not available in the County Clerk' s office to verify that these requirements were complied with in all respects. Under Cali- fornia law, all ballots and records of the election are destroyed by the County -Clerk if no election contest is commenced within the statutory period (presently six months under Election Code 17400 - 17430, formerly twelve months under Political Code Sects. 1265 et seq (Sta-ts. 1903, Chapter 42) , and no such action was instituted in this instance (Exhibit 18) . } F ii Y• Board of Directors -5- July 9, 1963 Within five days after the election, the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Nevada County certified to the Board the submission to the electors of the proposition for the incorporation of the District, to wit, the results thereof, 148 votes in favor and 59 votes a ainst, (Exhibit 19) . There- upon the Supervisors on May 9, 1917 by order entered upon its minutes declared that a aia j orit of the votes cast were in favor of the incorporation of t e district and freel7 declared the incorporation of the District, naming it as the 'Truckee Public Utility District" with the boundaries set forth in the petition, and declared the same to be formed according to the provisions of the aforesaid Act approved May 31, 1921, as amended, for the formation of such public utility districts (Exhibit 20) . Thereupon on May 18, 1927, a roll consisting of the aforesaid certificate and order was filed with the Secretary of State (Exhibit 21) , a duplicate copy thereof was recorded in the Office of the County Recorder of Nevada County (Exhibit 2 2) and thereafter filed in the Office of the County Clerk for Nevada County (Exhibits 19 • and 20) . The Secretary of State upon his receipt of said duplicate roll issued his certificate reciting the filing of the same and the incorporation of the District (Exhibit 21) . Upon the filing of the aforesaid dupli- cate roll with the Secretary of State on May 18, 1927, as afore- said, the Truckee Public Utilit thye District was incorporated as a public utility district under provisions of the aforesaid Act, with all of the rights, privileges and powers set forth therein. Thereafter on June 7, 1927, the Board of Supervisors duly and regularly called an election to elect directors for the District to be held within ninet days after its formation, to wit, on July 29, 1927 (Exhibit 23 . The Notice of Election and Election Proclamation were published in the'rruckee Repub- lican" on July 14, 21 and 28, 1927 (Exhibit 24) , the Election Proclamation was posted-at the place of election and remained posted there for more than ten days immediately preceding the date of election (Exhibit 25) , and the -Notice of Election was posted in the office of the County Clerk more than twenty-five days prior to said election (Exhibit 26) . Following the election, the Board of Supervisors met on August 3, 1927 and canvassed the returns and declared the election of C. E. Smith, T. 0 Hanrahan w and C. B. White as the first directors of the District (Exhibit c 27) ' r ` Thereafter, on the first Tuesday after said Directors had been declared elected as aforesaid, to wit, on August 9, 5 P � Board of Directors -b- July 9, 1963 1927, said Directors met, classified their terms by lot, appointed certain other officers, and transacted other business of the District (Exhibit 28) . ..�-. In summary, a review of the proceedings for the form- ation of the District fail to show that any steps were omitted or irregularly taken. The only things that do not appear are tangible evidence that the Notice of Election on formation was posted (Section b of the Act) and that the formation election and the election of the first directors was held and conducted in the manner and form for the holding of special elections with- in a county (Sections b and 11, respectively) . For the reasons already stated and for the following additional reasons, we are of the opinion that the formation of the District was and presently is valid and incontestable. (1) Section 10 of the Act declared that: "No informality in any proceeding, or informality Y F in the conduct of any election, not substantia y affecting adversely the legal rights of any citi- zen, shall be held to invalidate the incorporation of any public utility district, and any proceed- ings wherein the validity of such incorporation is denied shall be commenced within twenty days after the date of the certificate of incorporation; 4 otherwise said incorporation and the legal exis- tence of said public utility district, and all proceedings in respect thereto, shall be held to be valid and in every respect legal and incon- testible." The affidavit of the present County Clerk of Nevada County declares that no action was brought challenging the legality or validity of the existence or incorporation of the District within said twenty-day period, or at all (Exhibit 18) . Therefore, this statute of limitations provision would appear to bar any action • n the formation roceedin s. challenging formation for any defect i p g Secondly, on February 20, 1928, a judgment was made and entered in the Superior Court in and for the County of Sierra, pursuant to complaint filed by the District, wherein it was adjudged regularly or anized as of May 27, that the District was duly and regu y y 1927, in the amount of $20,000, were valid Exhibit 29) . chile this judgment was obtained primarily for the validation of the such an adudication necessarily included a determination j bonds, that the District had the power to issue such bonds, hence was duly and regularly incorporated. F f b e e Board of Directors -7- July 9, 1963 Thirdly, at the 1939 regular session of the Legis- lature, an Act, entitled "The Validating Act of 1939" (1939 Stats. Ch. 593) was passed which declared that all public utility districts theretofore organized and functioning under color of law were thereby declared to be legally organized, with all rights, powers and rivileges of such a district regularly formed (Exhibit 30 Under the decision of the California Supreme Court in In Re Orosi Public Utility District 196 Cal 43, it would appear that if there was in fact any irregularity in any of the respects above mentioned, the Legislature could constitutionally and hence did cure and vali- date the formation of the District by the above Legislation. ANNEXATIONS There were two annexation proceedings conducted following the formation of the District which increased the District to its present territory of approximately forty-four square miles. These proceedings were conducted pursuant to Section 51 (a) of the Act, added by Ch. 999 of the Statutes i of 1933 (now Sections 17301 - 17332 of the Public Utilities Code) . A cop of that portion of Chapter 999 containing said Section 51 (a , as amended in 1947 and 1949, is attached for reference as Exhibit A. ANNEXATION DONNER STATE PARK TO FLY CASTING CLUB - 19 4 5/19 4 6 '� A legally adequate petition (Exhibit Al) to annex the g y Park t the San Francisco Fly Casting area from Donner State P y Club, consisting of approximately 26 square miles and described as follows: Beginning at the Sourth corner common to Sections 16 and 17, Tp. 17 North, Range 17 East; thence Norther- ly along the section line common to Sections 16 and 179 Tp. 17 North, Range 17 East, 21, 120 feet to the corner common to Sections 28, 29, 32 and 33, Tp. 18 North, Range 17 East; thence Westerly along the sec- tion line common toSections 29 and 32, 36,960 feet to the section corner common to Sections 29, 30, 31 and 32, Tp. 18 North, Range 16 East; thence Souther- ly along the section line common to Sections 31 and 32, 21120 feet to the section corner common to Sections 17 and 18, Tp. 17 North, Range 16 East and the Nevada- Placer County Line; thence Easterly along the said Nevada-Placer County Line 36,960 feet to the point of • of which territory lies within the beginning, all y boundaries of Nevada County, State of California; S ' Y Board of Directors -8- July 9, 1963 was filed with the Secretary of the Board in 1945, and his certifi- cate attesting to the sufficiency of the signatures thereto is attached. Thereafter, the Board of Directors on August 28, 1945 adopted Ordinance No. 16 (Exhibit A2) declaring its intention of approving said annexation, determining that the annexation would be of benefit and setting forth the terms and conditions thereof. The Ordinance and the Notice attached thereto fixing the time and place for hearing were in the form and had the con- ten t required by law, and were published in a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in Truckee, California, once a week for three weeks, commencing August 30, 1945 (Exhibits A3 and A) . There is no formal affidavit of posting the Ordinance and Notice present among the District' s papers, but correspondence indicates that the posting was properly done (Exhibit A5) . Said 3 hearing was thereafter regularly held on October 2, 1945 (Exhibit A6) , and on December 18, 1945, the Board regularly called an elec- tion for February 59 1946, on the annexation (Exhibit A7) to de- termine its approval, and this Ordinance No. 17 and the Notice of Election (Exhibit A8) were regularly published (Exhibit A9) . } As is the case with the posting of the Ordinance and Notice on the annexation hearing, we do not find any tangible evidence among the District papers that this election was held and conducted In conformity' with the requirements of Section 5la(4) of the Act; however, the Board' s Resolution hereinafter referre to recites the giving of the notice for and the .holding of this elec tion, whichfindings findin s became conclusive after six months (Section 51b of the Act) , no action to contest the same having been in s t i- tuted (Exhibit 18 above ) . On February 11, 1946, the Board of Directors met an canvassed the returns of the election, declaring the vote to be 7 to 0 in favor of annexation (Exhibit A10) , and on February 12, 1946, the Board regularly adopted its Resolution and Order (Exhibit All) reciting that all of the electors in the territory to be annexed had voted in favor thereof, ordering the annexation of said territory and setting forth the conditions and terms of the annexation and describing the new boundaries of the District. Said Resolution and Order attached bears the certificate of the Count Recorder of Nevada County that the same was recorded in office on February 20, 1946, and thereupon the lands annexed his yl a art of the District to the same ex- became legally and fully p tent as if they had been originally included. t In addition to the absence of any action challenging this annexation proceeding, on July 30, 1946, the Legislature assed the Second Validation Act of 1946 (Ch. 6, Second Ex. Sess. , Stats. 1946) , a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit Al2 3 Board of Directors -9- July 9, 1963 declaring that all acts and proceedings theretofore taken by a public utility district for the annexation of any territory was thereby confirmed, validated and declared legally effective. Under the authority of In Re Orosi, 196 Cal 43, this was effec- tive to cure and validate any of the above-mentioned possible defects in this annexation proceeding. z - 4 ANNEXATION DONNER LAKE AREA - 1949 A legallyqed as Exhibit B7) to adequate petition (shown in the minutes of the Board attack annex the westermost sixteen-square mile portion of the District, including the Donner } Lake area, and described as follows: Startin at the corner common to Sections 29, 30, 31 and 3 T 18 N, R 16 E thence westerly along the boundary common to Sections 30 and 31, T 18 N R 16 E, a distance of 21,120 ft. more or less to the corner common to Sections 27, 289 33 and 34, T 18 N R 15 E : thence southerly along the boundary common to Sections 33 and 34, T 18 N, R 15 E, a distance of 219120 ft. more or less to the intersection of the Placer Nevada County line and the boundary common to Sections 15 and 16, T 17 N, R 15 E; thence easterly along the said Placer Nevada County line, a distance of 21, 120 ft. more or less to the intersection of the said Placer Nevada County line and the boundary common to Sections 17 and 18, T 17 N, R 16 E; thence northerly along the said section line common to Sec- tions 17 and 18, T 17 N, R 16 E; a distance of 21, 120 ft. more or less to the point of beginning. All of which territory lies within the boundaries of Nevada County, California; was filed with the Secretary of the Board sometime during Febru- ary, 1949, and his certificate attesting to the sufficiency of the signatures is attached to the petition. Thereafter, the Board of Directors on April 5, 1949, adopted ordinance No. 18 (Exhibit Bl) , declared its intention of approving said annexa- t ion, determining that the annexation would be of benefit an setting forth the terms and conditions of annexation. The Ordin- ance and the Notice of Hearing attached thereto fixing the time and place for hearing, were in the form and had the content re- quired by law, and the same were piLslished in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in Truckee, California once a week for two weeks, commencing April 7, 1949, (Exhibits B2 and B3) , and posted in the public places at least 30 days Board of Directors -10- July 9, 1963 before the date set for the hearing (Exhibit B4) . Said hearing was thereafter regularly held on May 17, 1949 (Exhibit B5) , following which all protests were overruled and the Board approved the annexation of this additional territory upon the . -- terms and conditions stated in Ordinance No. 18 (Attachment to Exhibit B5) . Thereafter a written consent to the annexation in due form signed by a majority of the electors who were registered - , at the time required was filed with the Secretary (Exhibit B6) , and he certified to the sufficiency of the signatures, as shown by the attachment to said consent. Thereafter on June 28, 1949 (Exhibit B7) , the Board of Directors adopted its Resolution No. 4920 (Exhibit B8) declaring the annexation of this additional territory, describing- the same and the new exterior boundaries of the Distr'ict, and setting forth the conditions of annexation. Said Resolution bears the certificate of the County Recorder of Nevada County that the same was recorded in his office on June 30, 1949, and thereupon the said lands became legally annexed and fully a part of the District to the same .extent as if they had been originally included.

O. Drawer J of 'o I Al/ Truckee,California 95734 Dear Mr. Craig: l Although the problem with Dart and Donner Lake is `J occupying most of the Board's time at present, I know that you are still deeply concerned with the future of your elec- tric system and particularly in obtaining adequate supplies of relatively low cost 'wholesale power. ' Sierra Pacific Power Company, like Pacific Gas and Electric Companyr is doing a good job in this difficult time of meeting the requirements of its wholesale customers. How- ever the municipalities in nothern an& central California have felt, as you may feel, that it is prudent to 1-ook at other sources of power supply, particularly self-generation, to help the privately owned utilities avoid the ever present temptation to discriminate against public agencies in the re- tail business and so eventually to absorb them. In addition they have thought that the advantages of public financing may enable them to obtain power cheaper than it can be obtained from private f i•nancing. The example of the Central Valley Project .and of Sacramento Municipal Utility District has con- firmed them An this course. , Northern California Power Agency is a joint powers agency consisting of the cities of Alameda, Biggs, Gridley, E F tit I i .rl O N •rI �4 rl 41 (1)rCj v -0 4-4 -r v r• 4-)rO 3 p • v v o o 0 ro o� U r.
