APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The President noted that one set of minutes submitted for approval had
been inadvertently left off the agenda. Those minutes will be placed on the
next meeting agenda for direction from the Board.
REVIEW OF DRAFT MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 5, 1978 and SPETEMBER 18, 1978
Relating to the draft minutes of the July 6, 1978 meeting (the set omitted
from the agenda in error) , Director Huber noted that the figures copied to the
Board as corrections by the secretary (having to do with water production and
usage) were not, in fact, corrections, but her computations. She requested
the Board disregard such figures.
The President noted that Director Sutton had submitted corrections to the
r..., September 5th draft minutes; Director Huber also submitted corrections.
Director Hatch moved that the minutes for the September 5th meeting be
prepared in final form as corrected. The motion was seconded by Director Kut-
tel . ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, abstain; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass,
aye. SO MOVED. Director Huber noted that she had abstained because she had
not read the corrections submitted by Director Sutton.
Regarding the September 18th meeting, President Maass noted that he and
Directors Huber and Sutton submitted corrections to the draft minutes. Re-
lating to page 10 of the draft, discussion of the Airport Well , Director Huber
agreed that Director Sutton's correction rather than her's should be incorpor-
ated in the final draft.
Director Sutton moved that the minutes of September 18th be prepared in
final form incorporating corrections that were submitted by the Directors.
Director Hatch seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, abstain;
Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
BILLS FOR BOARD APPROVAL AND STATEMENT OF GENERAL FUND
It was noted that not all the Directors received the Statement of General
Fund in the mail ; copies were provided to them at the meeting.
In answer to Director Sutton's question relating to the payment of Roger
r— Bonnett's bill for the appraisal of various District parcels, dated October
loth, Mr. Seymour stated that Mr. Bonnett had requested payment as soon as
possible after delivery of the appraisals.
Relating to the TTSA billing in the amount of $114.60, Director Sutton
noted she felt there were complications and decisions would have to be
reached by the Board. He noted that the District has already paid $84 -
there is a billing in the amount of $114.60 awaiting approval . The District
requires Board approval to remove $153.45 from accounts receivable because
that is the amount TTSA deducted from the amount paid on one of the TDPUD's
billings. Director Sutton asked if payment of the TTSA billing could be
deleted from bills approved at this meeting and, at the next meeting, have a
lo/16/78 pg. 1
special item allowing specific action in order to straighten out the matter.
Discussion of "fixture units," as referred to by TTSA, ensued.
Director Sutton moved that the District pay the bill from Roger Bonnett
for the appriasal in the amount of $1 ,600, and, that the TTSA sewage treat-
ment fees be placed on the agenda as a separate item for the next meeting
for consideration of payment and discussion by the Board. The motion was
seconded by Director Huber. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel ,
aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
The Chair directed that the TTSA item be placed under Unfinished Business, —�
as the matter has occurred in the past. On the bills listed for approval , Ms.
Chapman should place the bill in a different category at the end of the list,
indicating that it is above and beyond the normal bills for the month. The
Board will take action separately from the rest of the bills.
FmHA CONSTRUCTION ACCOUNT
It was noted that the FmHA Construction Fund Status Report has been re-
ceived. Status of the 77-1 construction and funding will be discussed dur-
ing the Engineer's Report.
REVIEW OF JULY BALANCE SHEET AND STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND EXPENSES
Mr. Seymour reported that the July Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues
and Expenses reflected the new water rate for the first time; Water Depart-
ment, current month, went from $19,070 in 1977 to $27,077 in 1978. Water
usage to date has been less in 1978 than it was in 1977.
Mr. Seymour noted that, in September, there will be some changes made in
Standby Revenue. An adjustment in the amount of 1977 Standby Revenue will
be made - a transfer from the Water Department to the Electric Department.
(Standby Revenue, in the July 1978 Statement of Revenues and Expenses, was
listed for the first time as a separate item.)
Mr. Seymour stated he was concerned with the higher expenditures in 1978,
but felt it was due to increased activity in the District. The Directors had
no questions respecting either report.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Planning Department Notice Committee - Directors Huber and Sutton met in
regards to Planning Department Notices received by the District; their find-
ings will be reported later in the meeting during discussion of the Notices.
MANAGER'S REPORT
General status of District - Outages - Several minor power outages have occurred
during the past two weeks, Mr. Seymour reported. Loss of a transformer in the
Sierra Pacific Power system affected all of Tahoe Donner and Donner Lake cus-
tomers as well as all of northern Nevada. The Truckee Substation remained on
during this outage because it is fed from Verdi and connected directly to the
Tracy Steam Plant.
There were several water outages during the past two weeks. The most
serious were outages in the Deerfield area caused by Jetco Underground
tying in services and firehydrants. Consternation on the part of some of
the businesses at the east end of Donner Lake was noted.
Report as to how power will be provided to Beacon Hill Subdivision - The --�
Manager reported that he had spoken with George Gardai , developer of Beacon
Hill , and explained the District policy. Mr. Gardai verbally agreed to in-
stall the complete power distribution system in the subdivision to the Dis-
trict's specifications. The District will mark the location of the poles
and guys, approve the design drawings, and inspect and approve the final con-
struction. Essentially, the same requirements will be placed upon the develop-
er for the water line system.
Report respecting Meadow Park sewer assessments - Mr. Seymour advised that he
discussed this matter with Dr. Tapia, superintendent of the Recreation and
Park District, who indicated the non-payment was an oversight on the part of
the Park District, and further indicated that they would take action to rectify
the matter. Mr. Seymour noted that he had asked Ms. Chapman to notify the
County of the change in billing name and address.
10/16/78 pg. 2
i
�U7
Dr. Tapia, present in the audience, noted that the assessment bill had
been filed inadvertently resulting in non-payment.
Report regarding White Pine County's proposal for electric generating plant -
Mr. Seymour reported that he spoke with several engineers in Sierra Pacific
Power Company's planning department about the possibility of wheeling elec-
tricity. It was their suggestion that Mr. Seymour write to Max Jones, the
Vice President of Engineering and Planning regarding wheeling and Sierra
Pacific's capability of serving the District in the future.
Report re whether or not cost replacement for Northside Well and repair of
motor for standby can be charged to Tahoe Donner Trust Fund - It was noted
by the Manager that a letter from Martin McDonough regarding the Tahoe Donner
Trust Fund was received today. According to his letter, it was Mr. McDonough's
opinion that the cost for the replacement motor at the Northside Well and re-
pair of the motor for standby could not be charged to the Tahoe Donner Trust
Fund.
Mr. Seymour advised that if Wells A and B were put on line, this expendi-
ture, he believed, could be charged to the Tahoe Donner Trust Fund.
Report regarding power line extension under Rule 15 to serve Sanders No. 1
Well - The District provided a quotation of $10,000 to Dart for a power line
extension to serve Sanders No. 1 Well . Dart elected to provide the necessary
line extension to the Sanders Well in accordance with District requirements
believing that the cost would be less. Mr. Seymour noted that he had agreed
to this, and Dart has contracted with Slater Electric.
Discussion ensued as to whether or not an agreement between Dart and the
TDPUD would be necessary; reimbursement to Dart if others should connect to
the line extension; the District's Rule 15 having to do with line extensions,
and Ordinance No. 6701 .
Explanation - Sugar 'n Spice and La Bellavia meter problems - Mr. Seymour
noted that, in 1972, the District made an error in meter installation at a
place of business known as the Holy Doughnut; the multiplier was not written
in the meter book resulting in the reading being 1/40th of the correct amount
of electricity. In 1973, the error was discovered and personnel incorrectly
calculated the multiplier to be 80 instead of 40. Consequently, all subse-
uqent bills to all occupants of that premises were incorrect. Upon investi-
gation, in July of this year, the use of an incorrect multiplier was discovered
and corrected. District personnel have recalculated all power bills since the
meter was placed into service. As a result, the owners of the Holy Doughnut -
Sugar 'n Spice Bakery were refunded $2,471 , which included interest at 7% per
year compounded annually; LaBellavia, the current occupants, received a credit
in the amount of $2,064; Port Woodwall , Jr. , the owner of the building, was
forwarded a check in the amount of $9.
REVIEW AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION REGARDING TEN SURPLUS DISTRICT PARCELS
REQUEST OF HIGH SIERRA SENIOR CITIZENS
Present in the audience was Frank Aiello, the contractor interested in
constructing housing for the senior citizens. He indicated that he had been
doing such construction since 1971 , and, in most instances, Farmers Home Ad-
ministration provided the funding; interim financing is by any interested
lender. A project in Colfax, consisting of 67 units, has just been completed.
He noted that it was his understanding that senior citizen housing was badly
needed in the Truckee area; a site has been difficult to locate. He felt sure
r... that, if FmHA was provided the necessary information, they would issue a go-
ahead for the project and/or a commitment. Director Huber explained the Dis-
trict's bid policy. Director Sutton stated she didn' t think there was any
requirement that the District go to bid although it has been the policy to
do so, and that the District could establish a special policy to apply to
senior citizen housing. Mr. Aiello noted that in a bid type situation, un-
less it was known that FmHA would commit to the loan, they could not bid to
buy the property. It is their practice to option, then tie the option in
with the government commitment.
Mrs. Rosamond, in answer to President Maass' question, noted that the
Senior Citizens were interested in parcels L, M, N, and 0. Fire flow avail-
able to those parcels was discussed. District Engineer Cook advised that,
for a housing complex, fire flow would need to be augmented.
10/16/78 pg• 3
Mr. Aiello advised that it was his desire to locate a level parcel to
which water and sewer service is available. He asked, because of the time
element involved with the Federal Government, for any help the District is
able to give with respect to obtaining the necessary land.
Director Huber suggested that Mr. Aiello be provided with a map of the
District's surplus land. After viewing the available parcels, she requested
Mr. Aiello make a determination as to suitability and advise the Board ac-
cordingly. Perhaps the District can place a hold on those parcels of inter-
est while the construction/loan package is put together.
Director Huber moved that the District provide Mr. Aiello with a map of
the surplus parcels, that someone show Mr. Aiello where the parcels are
located, that determination be made as to suitability, and that Mr. Aiello
come back to the Board with a proposal ; the District will then work out
provisions for a hold on any parcel that would be suitable for the Senior
Citizen housing. She requested that this be done prior to the next Board
Meeting. The motion was seconded by Director Hatch. ALL AYE BY VOICE VOTE.
SO MOVED.
The President clarified, for Director Sutton's benefit, that the ten par-
cels being discussed include parcels L, M, N, and 0. He further stated that
the appriasals prepared by Mr. Bonnett have been received by the District.
REQUEST OF TRUCKEE DONNER RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT
Dr. Tapia referred to a letter written by the Recreation and Park District
which removed the restriction of having to confer with that District regard-
ing the instant parcels. Such letter stated that the parcels did appear to
be of value to the TDR&PD, but because of financial restrictions, the Park
District would be unable to take advantage of the PUD's offer. The Truckee
Donner Recreation and Park District, at its July 6, 1978, Board Meeting, re-
jected the TDPUD's offer. Dr. Tapia noted that all the restrictions and re-
quirements of the State law had been complied with by the TDPUD in regards to
declaring these parcels surplus. He then made note of Mr. Seymour's advice
to him that the TDPUD Board would consider holding some of the land in abey-
ance until such time as the Park District might be able to purchase the land.
It was Dr. Tapia's request that the District hold parcel J.
After brief discussion, Director Huber moved that the Board direct the at-
torney to draw up a suitable lease for parcel J between the TDPUD and the
Truckee Donner Recreation and Park District in the amount of $1 .00 per year
and the payment of the sewer assessments, and such lease be recorded with the
County of Nevada. The lease is to be prepared in resolution form for presenta-
tion at the next Board Meeting, November 6, 1978. The motion was seconded by
Director Kuttel . ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton,
aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
Dr. Tapia advised that it would not be possible for him to be in attendance
at the November 6th meeting. The Directors indicated that the lease would be
reviewed and, most likely, delayed until the following meeting.
Review and possible direction regarding the remaining surplus District par-
cels will be placed on a future agenda.
REVIEW AND DIRECTION REGARDING OUTSTANDING TRUCKEE DONNER RECREATION AND PARK
DISTRICT BILLING .(TRUCKEE RIVER REGIONAL PARK)
Dr. Tapia referred to a letter written to the Park District by Ms. Chapman
of the TDPUD dated May 25, 1977. According to Ms. Chapman's records, Dr.
Tapia stated, the TDR&PD had an outstanding bill in the amount of $6,411 .92
for work done at the rodeo grounds for electrical services. He read to the
Board his response to Ms. Chapman's letter wherein points of contention were
noted. Referring to the Park District's dissension about line extensions,
Director Sutton stated she felt this matter is a good example of why electric
line extensions should be by agreement with the Board.
Dr. Tapia noted that a letter from the TDPUD auditor had been received
which asked the Park District to confirm that they owned the PUD $4,399.67.
He stated the TDRSPD had informed the auditor that they did not owe the PUD
that amount. Another letter was received from Ms. Chapman dated May 8, 1978,
which included a rebilling and copies of invoices. The TDR&PD responded and
referred the PUD to their previously written letter setting forth contentions.
Mr. Seymour noted that the Bookkeeper had prepared the billing from time sheets
10/16/78 pg. 4
o�
and material charge tickets. The existing problem is due to the fact that
the billing does not conform to the verbal estimate given to the Park District
by a previous employee. That estimate was in the neighborhood of $1 ,000 to
$1 ,500 according to Dr. Tapia.
Mr. Seymour suggested that, inasmuch as the District had adjusted the bill-
ing presented to the Horsemens' Association, the District accept $1 ,500 as
payment in full from the Park District.
Director Huber stated that, since she was a member of the Board of the
Park District at the time the work was performed, she would like to abstain
from participation in the discussion.
Director Hatch moved that, regarding the outstanding Truckee Donner Recrea-
tion and Park District bill for the Turckee River Regional Park, the District
accept payment in the amount of $1 ,500 as total payment for that project. THE
MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Director Sutton moved that this matter be referred to the Manager and Counsel
for recommendation and put back on the agenda for the November 6th meeting. NO
SECOND FORTHCOMING, THE MOTION DIED.
Director Sutton moved to table the item. THE MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A
SECOND.
Director Sutton stated she would not support the District's collecting less
money than is due.
Director Hatch moved that, respecting the outstanding Truckee Donner Recrea-
tion and Park District bill for the Truckee River Regional Park, the District
accept payment in the amount of $1 ,500 (the high bid quoted to them) as total
payment for that project. He further stated that in the absence of an agree-
ment with the District, with only verbal negotiations between the Park Dis-
trict and the PUD, he felt it was ridiculous to let the matter continue. Dir-
ector Kuttel seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, abstain;
Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. Director Sutton requested
that the minutes show she had voted "yes" only because there was no written
agreement.
MEADOW PARK SEWER ASSESSMENTS
Regarding the approximate $5,000 owed to the TDPUD by the TDR&PD for past
sewer assessments, Director Sutton asked what provisions for repayment the
Park District had made. Dr. Tapia advised that the Park District is reassess-
ing; after January 1st, it is the hope of that District that there will be
another bill through the State Legislature. He requested that the PUD be
patient until after the new meeting of the Legislature; the Park District may
receive enough money to make a suitable payment. If not, they will find some
other means of repayment - probably by way of payments. It was his preference
that the TDR&PD make a large payment after the first of the year.
ORDINANCE ACCEPTING PHASE I PIPELINE
The draft ordinance approving and accepting the Tahoe Donner off-site
water transmission system, Phase I , was reviewed by the Board. District
Counsel and District Engineer Cook explained the clauses contained in the
Ordinance.
It was determined that the Ordinance should be redrafted. The third enact-
ment clause should include reference to the bonds referred to therein. An
enactment clause stating that the District accepts the off-site water trans-
mission system is to be added.
The President advised that the matter would be held over for action at the
next Regular Meeting.
REVIEW OF TITLE REPORT ON DISTRICT PROPERTY LOCATED BEHIND A & W: POSSIBLE
ACTION RELATING TO REQUEST OF A. H. KOEPF TO PURCHASE SUCH PROPERTY
Mr. Seymour advised that a letter explaining the report had been received
from the Title Company several days ago, and had been copied to the Board.
10/16/78 pg. 5
It was the Title Company's contention that the property belonged to the
District; however, the County has an easement on the property to build a
road. In view of the existing easement, no permanent structure may be
placed on the property. He further advised that an abutting property own-
er, Glen Stice, preferred that the property remain as a buffer between the
residential and commercial areas. It was Mr. Seymour's suggestion that
Koepf and Lange be given permission, either by lease or agreement, to use a
portion of the land for parking and snow removal provided they plant a suit-
able screen between the portion used and the residential section. Director
Sutton recommended that all abutting property owners be notified of the pro-
posed plan and given a chance to respond.
Director Sutton moved that this matter be held over until the November
6th meeting , and that property owners abutting on the easement be notified
of the agenda item at least a week in advance of the meeting. The motion
was seconded by Director Huber. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel ,
aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
After discussion of the County's easement presently existing on this
property, and prior to the roll call vote, Mr. Cook advised that the pro-
cedure to be followed in this instance would be to request an abandonment
of such easement by the County. The County will then ask each of the public
utilities and anyone that may have a record of interest to quitclaim that
interest, thus giving the District clear title. However, it would not be
necessary to remove the underlying cloud prior to allowing Koepf and Lange
use of the property. Director Sutton indicated that if clear title is ob-
tained, she would be more interested in selling a strip of the land to the
developer at the going rate instead of an informal arrangement.
The President requested that Mr. Koepf be notified of the date of the next
meeting.
Director Hatch moved that the Board direct the Manager to contact Nevada
County and ascertain whether they would be willing to abandon their ease-
ment on this particular parcel . The motion was seconded by Director Kuttel .
ALL AYE BY VOICE VOTE. MOTION CARRIED.
REVIEW OF R. W. BECK'S RECOMMENDATIONS RELATING TO AN INCREASE IN SUBSTATION
CAPACITY IN THE TRUCKEE AREA
Correspondence dated the 12th from R. W. Beck was received by the Directors
on today's date; President Maass ordered that a copy of this correspondence
be attached to these minutes,. The Substation Planning and Design Work Order
prepared by Beck and Associates was reviewed and discussed. Mr. Seymour rec-
ommended that the Board authorize executive of the Work Order.
Director Sutton moved that the Board authorize the President to sign the
work order of R. W. Beck and Associates having to do with substation planning
and design services. Substitute Counsel Pfotenhauer stated that, from in-
formation gleaned during review of the applicable code sections, he felt the
resolution declaring that the public interest and necessity of the District
demands acquisition of public utility works should be passed prior to auth-
orization to execute the work order. THE MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Director Sutton moved that the item be tabled until the next meeting for
further review and direction. After advice from Counsel that the resolution
necessary had been prepared for consideration at this meeting, Director Sut-
ton withdrew her motions.
RESOLUTION DECLARING THAT THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY OF THE DISTRICT
DEMANDS ACQUISITION OF PUBLIC UTILITY WORKS
After a brief discussion, Director Sutton moved that the Board adopt the
resolution (7850) declaring that the public interest and necessity of the
District demands acquisition of public utility works related to electrical
substation facilities. Director Hatch seconded the motion. ROLL CALL:
Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
R. W. BECK AND ASSOCIATES ' WORK ORDER
Director Sutton moved that the Board authorize the President to execute
the R. W. Beck Work Order having to do with substation planning and design No. WW-14l5-ESI-MY dated September 19, 1978, signed by Ken Merriman. The
motion was seconded by Director Huber. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye;
Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
10/16/78 Pg• 6

The President noted that R. W. Beck's recommendations relating to an
increase in substation capacity in the Truckee area will be discussed either
at a Special Meeting or at the next Regular Meeting, November 6, 1978.
LEASE OF 1 .9 ACRES OF DISTRICT LAND
REVIEW OF BID DOCUMENTS - RESOLUTION APPROVING SPECIFICATIONS AND ISSUING A
CALL FOR BIDS
It was determined that the invitation to bid should be advertized in other
.►r areas as well as locally.
Director Kuttel moved that the Board adopt Resolution No. 7851 setting
forth minimum bid requirements for the 1 .9 acre parcel located on the corner
of Highway 89 and Donner Pass Road. The motion was seconded by Director Hatch.
ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, no; Maass, aye. SO
MOVED.
The Board requested that Mr. Pfotenhauer include the following items in the
Conditions of Lease:
"That the lessee shall be responsible for taxes and assessments to be
levied on the parcel ."
"The District shall retain control over the use of the parcel and the
design of the structures to be constructed thereon for the term of the
lease and any extensions thereto."
"The lease cannot be assigned and the property cannot be sublet with-
out the written consent of the District's Board of Directors."
Although specification regarding the term of the lease was discussed, no
direction as to its length was given.
Regarding the Invitation to Bid, copy of which is attached, after discussion,
�., it was determined that paragraph 3, last sentence, should be changed from ". . .
a reasonable period of time," to read ". . .fails to accept the same within sixty
(60) days."
Length of time necessary to obtain a zoning change from the County was dis-
cussed.
For Board review at the next meeting, Mr. Pfotenhauer will prepare a question-
naire for each prospective bidder to complete; this will become an attachment to
the Invitation to Bid.
The President noted the direction given to District Counsel , and further
noted that these two items (Conditions of Lease and Invitation to Bid) would
be held over to the November 6th meeting.
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION REGARDING THE DESIGNATION OF AN AUDITOR FOR 1979
President Maass advised that Directors Huber, Kuttel , and Sutton interviewed
a number of auditors last year. To the best of Mr. Seymour' s recollection, he
stated, it was Arthur Anderson who most impressed the Directors conducting the
interviews. Director Sutton suggested that a proposal for the 1978 audit be
obtained from Arthur Anderson.
Director Huber moved that the Board direct the Manager to contact Arthur
Anderson for a proposal for the cost of the 1978 audit and workshop prior to
r— the publication of the audit, and a personal presentation by the member of the
firm that would actually be in charge of the audit at the next regular meeting.
Director Hatch seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kut-
tel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
ABANDONMENT OF PROSSER WELL
The President noted that two possibilities to facilitate abandonment of
Prosser Well had been presented by way of Mr. Marron's recent correspondence;
one was unacceptable - the other, a "self-help" procedure was the one recom-
mended by Mr. Cook.
After discussion, Director Huber moved that the Board direct Mr. Cook to
prepare a report on the possible consequences of the contamination of the
acquifer by the proximity of Prosser Well to the high-pressure petroleum pro-
ducts pipeline. Director Kuttel seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye;
10/16/78 pg• 7
Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
DISTRICT ENGINEER'S REPORT
The President advised that, since there were parties interested in certain
items to be discussed during the Engineer's Report in the audience, the Board
would move to the Engineer's Report.
Status Reports
Project 77-1 construction and funding - Jetco is in the process of completing
work on the Deerfield Line. There has been a problem tying in some of the
4'' lines that were improperly terminated in the original subdivision con-
struction.
Roen is presently at a standby status awaiting arrival from Sierra
Switchboard of the el-ectrical equipment for the Southside Well No. 2;
aniticpated arrival time is November 1 . Change order No. 4 in the amount
of $296 for an air trap was reviewed. Bill Nork very strongly recommended
the air trap, as did Mr. Cook, and Mr. Cook reported that it has already been
installed on his authorization.
Director Kuttel moved that the Board accept change order No. 4 in the amount
of $296. The motion was seconded by Director Hatch. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye;
Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
Tahoe Donner Phase 11 Construction - Mr. Cook advised that Hood Construction
has completed the installation of the transmission main; the intertie has been
made, and testing was successful . It was Mr. Cook's belief that Hood's work
was excellent; he further stated he felt they expended special effort in limit-
ing the construction inconveniences. It was Director Sutton's contention that
many residents had been inconvenienced.
Project 77-1 - In response to Mr. Seymour's question, the District Engineer
advised that, at the Donner Creek Well , his concerns regarding the tie-in
had been resolved. —'
Tahoe Donner Sanders Well No. III - Mr. Cook reported that there was some
difficulty with the main bearings in the drive block of the drilling rig at
Sanders Well No. III . The overhaul of the bearing within the drive block
required approximately four days down time. The repair has now been ac-
complished and the test hole has been drilled to 183' . There has been an
additional equipment failure that will take several days to repair. The
drilling is going very slowly. The geology at Sanders Well No. III appears
to be totally different than Sanders No. 1 , Sanders 11 , and Northside.
Placer County Service Area annexation - The District Engineer reported that
2 1 petitions have thus far been mailed. 69 returns have been received of
which 44 are in favor of annexation and 14 are opposed. There are apparently
ten bad addresses - or the property has sold since the date of the Placer
County roll . Eleven have questions of one kind or another.
Mr. Seymour, having read all of the replies, noted that those that contain
questions did not read the letter carefully. Many thought the District was
annexing for power also. Only one return has been received from a large
property owner, that being from Judge Fugazi who was in favor of the annexa-
tion.
Mr. Seymour advised that, because he did not yet have the property list,
letters have not gone out to the applicable Donner Lake property owners.
By consensus, the Board agreed that Mr. Cook and Mr. Seymour should
confer and report regarding a slight expansion of the annexation area
from Donner Lake easterly to Highway 267 - to include the trailer park
and Anderson property.
Director Sutton moved that the Manager and Engineer report to the Board
on a slight expansion of the annexation area from Donner Lake easterly to
Highway 267. The motion was seconded by Director Huber. ALL AYE BY VOICE
VOTE. MOTION UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED.
Tahoe Donner - Sanders Well No. 1 - The building slab and related work at
Sanders Well No. I have been completed by Quintana Construction, Mr. Cook
advised. Quintana is grading the access road and will be laying the
10/16/78 pg. 8
tit
inner-connecting pipeline this week. The pump is in place; after the access
road has been prepared and the inner-connecting pipeline installed, Quintana
intends to complete the enclosure. It is his intention to do all work that
is temperature sensitive first. Mr. Cook expected that the electrical equip-
ment will be the determining factor as to the total project completion. It
was his recommendation that the testing sequence that has been under consider-
ation by the Board be finalized so that just as quickly as the power line is
extended and the unit made operational the tests can be conducted. He further
noted he would like to see the test commenced prior to the recharge cycle.
Proposal for office rearrangement and new Board room - As yet, Mr. Cook advised
that he has not been able to complete the proposal for office rearrangement. He
asked that the matter be continued until the November 6th meeting.
Background information on the 2'' line serving the Southern Pacific Railroad
trailers - Mr. Cook reported that he has researched the matter, but has been
unable to locate the root installation agreement. Mr. Seymour advised that
he, too, has been unsuccessful respecting this matter.
Proposal for office rearrangement and new Board room - Director Sutton noted
that she has concerns about a Board Room being located on the second floor
because of difficult access for the handicapped. Mr. Seymour advised that he
has previously expressed his concerns regarding this matter to Mr. Cook. Mr.
Cook noted that laws in effect at this time require easy access for all .
Recommendations regarding Beacon Hill - Mr. Cook referred to his letter of
October 10, 1976, to Mr. Seymour which contained recommendations he considered
essential for the project. He reviewed his letter with the Board. A copy of
that correspondence has been attached to these minutes for reference.
Construction of a 100,000 gallon storage tank one pressure zone above the
Prosser Heights Tank was discussed. Mr. Cook advised that this would have no
effect on the low pressure at the end of the Prosser Heights line. This tank
would be located in Zone 6. It was Mr. Cook's suggestion that facility, source
and storage fees collected be put into a timely implementation of additional
supply in this subservice area.
Director Huber noted, and Mr. Cook was in agreement, that a review should
be made to determine if any portion of the subdivision would be located with-
in the Assessment District paying for the Well .
General discussion was held respecting the requirements of Beacon Hill as
compared to New Frontier Ranchos.
Recommendations regarding Tahoe Meadows Unit No. 2 - Mr. Cook noted that his
recommendations regarding Tahoe Meadows Unit No. 2 were set forth in letter
dated October 10, 1978, to Mr. Seymour. A copy of that letter has been at-
tached to these minutes.
Morinoto 24 Unit Duplex proposal - Palisades Drive - The District Engineer
advised that the Morinoto proposal is to construct 24 units on the eastern
side of Palisades Drive directly south of the proposed theater complex and
adjoining the PUD Southside Complex. The development is in the early plan-
ning stages. He noted that there are some capacity problems.
Proposed 30 lot subdivision in Martis Valley between Ponderosa Palisades South
and Sierra Meadows Unit #3 - A review of the proposed study map of the 30 unit
subdivision indicates, Mr. Cook stated, that it is within the Ponderosa Pal-
isades subservice zone of the District's water distribution system. Therefore,
r-- the system must be tied to the Ponderosa Drive main line that ultimately ser-
vices Ponderosa Palisades South.
Ponderosa Palisades Duplexes - Relating to the Ponderosa Palisades Duplexes,
22 units, Mr. Cook noted that improvement plans were submitted in September.
Cook has reviewed the plans, noted suggested corrections, and Cranmer Engin-
eering has completed the improvement plans with those corrections at the pre-
sent time. That project is ready for Board consideration. One of the early
comments to the Planning Commission on this project when proposed was that the
loop between Evergreen Circle and Palisades Drive be constructed. (This loop
was included on the list of 1979 improvements proposed by Cook Associates) .
The owners have provided the TDPUD with $2,000 to be used for this purpose.
($6,000 was budgeted for the project in the 1978 budget) .
10/16/78 pg. 9
Keith Sauers of Cranmer Engineering, present in the audience, stated that
the project is 15 lots with duplexes to be located on Palisades Drive. He
noted that although construction would probably not begin before next year,
they are anxious to obtain the approvals required. In answer to Director
Sutton's question, he noted that the cemetery was located in the center of
the project and would be protected by a six foot chain link fence with an
access easement out to the street - the street will be offered for dedication
to the County.
Mr. Cook advised that, from the developer's standpoint, there is a time
problem involved. Cook Associates has reviewed the plans in accordance with
the District's standards and signed them off as recommending them for ap-
proval subject to the payment of the appropriate fees. Those fees would in-
clude a plan check fee, construction inspection fee, facility fees and tapping
fees in accordance with the District' s adopted rules and regulations.
Report on miscellaneous springs located within the District - Director Hatch,
having been advised by Mr. Cook that certain springs to be discussed were
located on Forest Service land, left the Board Room in order to avoid any
possible conflict arising from his employment with the Forest Service.
Ponderosa Duplexes - In answer to the District Engineer's question, the Pres-
ident advised that action regarding the Ponderosa Duplexes would be set on the
agenda for the next meeting.
Mr. Sauers stated that this project is one that could be impacted by the
growth initiatives on the ballot in November. He further stated that sub-
mittal has been made to all agencies involved far enough in advance so that
it could be processed prior to that time. However, the County has now in-
dicated that all approvals must be received by Thursday evening, October 19th.
Mr. Sauers stated it was his hope that the Board would act to acknowledge Mr.
Cook's recommendation, and consider approval of the plans subject to receipt
of the mitigation fees. If the Board or Mr. Cook would establish the fees,
Mr. Sauers anticipated that the project owner will provide a check immediately.
Director Huber advised that it is the Board's policy that, unless an item is
listed on the agenda for action, no action is taken; this policy gives the
public an opportunity for input.
Mr. Cook noted that the District has written a will-serve letter con-
tingent upon compliance.
The President advised that the item will be placed on the November 6th
Meeting agenda for action under New Business. Fees will be established prior
to that meeting.
Beacon Hill - Tahoe Meadows - Mr. Zirjacks of Vail Associates noted that,
after the last meeting and because of the letter sent by the District to the
County, he was under the impression action regarding a will-serve letter would
be taken. Director Huber advised that the Engineer's recommendations on both
projects had been mailed on the loth of October. Mr. Seymour referred to the
District's policy which states the District will serve subject to conditions.
After discussion, to clarify, Mr. Cook stated that Mr. Zirjacks would receive
will-serve letters on the projects.
Report on miscellaneous springs located within the District - Mr. Cook reported
that he is presently developing benefit cost ratio analysis for tying into the
District water distribution system three springs; Anderson Spring, Prosser Lake
Spring, and Sheepherder Spring. A zonal map showing the areas of greatest bene-
fit from the inner- connection of the springs to the distribution system was
reviewed. He will present the complete benefit cost analysis to the Board
at the November 6, 1978 Meeting. Mr. Cook suggested that this matter be re-
ferred to the Water Committee for discussion prior to the next Board Meeting.
The District Engineer noted that he would be available to meet with the Com-
mittee prior to November 6th. Mr. Seymour, Director Kuttel , and Mr. Cook were
agreeable to meeting on October 20th; Director Sutton, the other member of the
Committee, was not present during this discussion. Upon completion of dis-
cussion respecting the springs, Director Hatch returned to the meeting.
Report on fire flow - downtown Truckee - Mr. Cook reviewed the Water System
Analysis Report diagram of fire hydrant fire flows showing the relative de-
ficiencies of the various areas. A copy has been attached to these minutes.
Report on reconstruction of District parking area - Due to some aspects of
this matter that might require legal counsel , District Engineer Cook requested
10/16/78 Pg• 10
that any discussion on this matter be deferred until Executive Session.
In answer to President Maass ' question, Mr. Seymour advised that Gregg
Construction, for $612, was providing paving between the parking area and
construction done by Hood Construction.
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE EAST RIVER STREET LINE EXTENSION
The President ordered this item put over until the next Board Meeting be-
cause the draft presented to the Board was not in correct form.
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION RESPECTING FRINGE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SIERRA
PACIFIC POWER CO. AND TDPUD
President Maass advised that this item had been put over from the last meet-
ing because several Directors had not had a chance to review the proposed agree-
ment. Mr. Seymour noted that he did not see any problem with the agreement. It
would enable Sierra Pacific and the PUD to exchange fringe area customers for
convenience. He suspected that Sierra Pacific was anxious that the agreement
be consummated because they may want to claim that Glenshire is fringe area
and the PUD should serve it. The Sierra Pacific - TDPUD contract for service
in Glenshire will expire in 1979. President Maass requested that discussion
of the Glenshire agreement be placed on the first meeting agenda in January of
1979, and that information regarding the agreement be provided to the Board
before that time.
Since the District Counsel had not yet reviewed the fringe agreement, the
matter was set over to the November 6, 1978, meeting agenda.
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION RELATING TO MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION TO JOIN
UNDERGROUND SERVICE ALERT
The President noted that this matter was carried over from the last meeting
in order to provide the Board adequate time for review of Mr. Seymour's proposal .
.�— Review by the Directors not having been made as yet, the President set the mat-
ter over to the November 20th meeting.
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION REGARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CIVIL SERVICE
PROCEDURE
President Maass suggested that a committee be formed with respect to the
establishment of a Civil Service procedure for the TDPUD. Although not volun-
teering for the committee, Director Sutton requested a copy of the procedure
the District had obtained for review. Director Sutton suggested that Director
Hatch be appointed to this committee since he is familiar with the civil ser-
vice procedure. Director Hatch was agreeable to becomming a member of the
committee.
The Chair appointed Director Hatch to serve, with the Manager and Counsel ,
on the Civil Service Committee, and to report back to the Board as necessary.
Director Hatch requested that the Manager provide him with the information
presently on hand.
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION CONCERNING THE DESIGNATION OF AN ARBITRATOR
Director Maass, having stepped down from the Chair, moved that the Board
rescind the previous motion regarding the appointment of either the American
Arbitration Society or the California Mediation Service as mediators for the
District; and, in place, he further moved that the Board designate Mr. Edward
Curtis Landergrin, Jr. of Oakland, California, as the Board's arbitrator in
all matters regarding Civil Service employer - labor relations. The motion
was seconded by Director Huber. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Sutton,
aye; Maass, aye; Kuttel , aye. SO MOVED.
MISCELLANEOUS INQUIRIES
There being no miscellaneous inquiries, the President moved to the District
Counsel 's report.
10/16/78 pg, 11
DISTRICT COUNSEL'S REPORT
Status reports
Underground Construction - Substitute Counsel Pfotenhauer advised that, as a
result of the meeting with representatives of Underground Construction, a dol-
lar amount of $981 to be paid to the District by Underground had been agreed
upon. (The adjusted amount of the original billing was $1 ,400.)
Director Huber moved that a billing to Underground Construction in the
amount of $981 be prepared and mailed to satisfy in full the outstanding
account with them for the damage done to the water system. Director Kuttel
seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sut-
ton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
Standby Charges - The President advised that a letter (expressing a favorable
opinion by the Legislative Counsel concerning the collection of standby charges
through the County tax roll) had been received by the Directors.
President Maass requested that this matter be placed on the agenda for the
first meeting in March of 1979. Mr. Pfotenhauer suggested the District pro-
vide a copy of the opinion to the County notifying them of the District' s
intent to make this collection request next year.
The Manager was requested, by consensus of the Board, to provide the ap-
propriate County officials with a letter and copy of Legislative Counsel 's
opinion.
Requests for exemption from Standby Charges - Director Sutton requested that
the matter of discussion and possible action regarding the requests for ex-
emption from Standby Charges be placed on the November 6th meeting agenda.
Mr. Seymour advised that Mrs. Chapman had not, as yet, completed a listing
of those persons requesting exemption. She will be asked to provide such
list at least three days prior to the next Board Meeting. --�
Leave of absence policy for managerial employees - Bob Fries of Michael
Marron' s office provided corrections to the proposed resolution re leave
of absence policy for managerial employees, which were minor in nature,
reported President Maass. He requested that the matter be placed on the
November 6th meeting agenda under Unfinished Business.
A resolution, perhaps embodying the corrections from Mr. Marron's of-
fice, is to be prepared for review at the November 6th meeting. It was
suggested that, since Mr. Grumer prepared the original draft, he should be
given the opportunity to review the corrections submitted.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT NOTICES
The effects of propositions relating to growth control , if passed, were
discussed.
Anne Brake - It was the opinion of the Planning Department Notice Committee
that there would be fire flow problems with the triplex proposed by Anne
Brake. The District's comment to the Planning Department should point out
this potential fire flow problem. It was noted that the lot is the one the
Board was requested to execute a quitclaim on in order to clear the title
for Ms. Brake to build a house.
William Service - apartment on Edmonds Drive - The Committee noted that ^,
adequate fire flow was questionable for the two units, 28 apartments, pro-
posed by William Service on Edmonds Drive and Donner Trail Road.
Holiday restaurant and living quarters - This proposed project is located
between the Baptist Church and Cottage Hotel . A restaurant and second floor
residence consisting of 353 square feet has been proposed. Director Huber,
member of the Planning Department Notice Committee, noted fire flow and
consumptive water problems.
Truckee Townhouse - 24 units - This project, Director Huber advised, will be
located on 3.9 acres on Palisades Drive, a short distance from the movie
theatre. The EIA addressed the possibility of a drainage problem into the
Southside Spring area; Director Huber noted that a 1977 letter regarding fire
flow adequacy is being used with the EIA; they are within 1 ,000 feet of a fire
10/16/78 pg• 12
i
hydrant. Possible impact on groundwater because of increased amount of black-
topping in the area was mentioned.
Director Huber stated that perhaps a study of the cumulative impact of all
the proposed projects in this area was necessary.
Mr. Cook advised that the drainage problem relating to this project should
be addressed. Director Huber noted that it was the Committee's intent to re-
fer the matter to him for response.
Southside area development - cumulative impact - Director Sutton stated she
felt there should be some coordinated master planning for the water system in
the Southside area that would look towards total impact of all the development.
Mr. Seymour agreed saying that the cumulative impact of the developments was
significant; the projects, taken individually, were not significant.
The subdivision of 100 lots, six units per acre, near the Airport was
mentioned by Director Huber. There was no discussion.
Director Sutton advised that, regarding Martis Valley Estates A, the EIR
is presently at the comment stage.
The Village Green expansion, Martis Associates' project and Timberline, all
located in the Southside area, were mentioned by Director Sutton.
The following questions were asked of District Engineer Cook:
1) If facility fees are collected from all developers, and if all the pro-
posed projects do occur, will the facility fees collected by the District be
enough to support the additional source, storage and transmission that is need-
ed to serve the projects?
2) Does the District have the power to impose its own moratorium if the
growth is so rapid that the District cannot provide the water?
Director Sutton answered that any District has the authority to impose a
moratorium if it cannot supply the service in which it is engaged.
Mr. Cook stated that he would welcome an assignment to look into the
cumulative impact of development as suggested by Directors Huber and Sutton.
He felt the analysis would be very timely since the District is being over-
whelmed with these proposed projects. He stated he could not categorically
answer whether or not the fees collected or proposed to be collected can keep
the District ahead. The analysis suggested, he stated, would provide an ans-
wer.
Director Sutton suggested that the Planning Department be notified that the
District would be undertaking a study relating to cumulative impact of develop-
ment in the Southside area, and would not make any meaningful comment until
such study has been completed.
Relating to all of the District, aside from Tahoe Donner, Mr. Seymour stated
he felt study should be made as to adequacy of current supply, how many more
lots and subdivisions can be handled and how much more is needed for the town
to fill the needs of present and known subdivisions.
Mr. Cook noted that the District had been notified in 1976 by his firm
that there was only enough water to go through 1979.
Director Huber moved that the Board direct the District Engineer to under-
take a study on the cumulative impacts of proposed subdivisions, condominiums,
and other development, particularly in the Highway 267 - Southside area, as
to the future availability of water and the adequacy of facility fees.
Director Hatch stated that he felt this study should be tied together with
sewage capacity, so that total impact could be reviewed. Mr. Cook agreed that
this would be reasonable, and clarified Director Hatch's intent - if there is
a moratorium on sewers, what impact does that have on the TDPUD's total sys-
tem? If development is restricted because of lack of sewer capacity, most
likely development will move to areas able to make use of septic tanks.
10/16/78 pg. 13
After discussion, Director Sutton requested that a reference to the study
of sewage capacity be incorporated in Director Huber's motion.
Proposed development and potential development were discussed.
Director Huber stated that her purpose in limiting the area to be studied
in the motion presently before the Board was to enable Mr. Cook to provide an
analysis before the report periods for the proposed projects have expired.
She did, however, state she felt there was a need for a more extensive analysis
in the future.
Director Hatch seconded Director Huber's motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye;
Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
Director Hatch moved that the Board direct the District Engineer to un-
dertake a study on the cumulative impacts of proposed subdivisions, condo-
miniums, and other development in the entire District as to the future avail-
ability of water and the adequacy of facility fees; analysis is to be made two
ways - if there is a sewer moratorium and if there is not a sewer moratorium.
THE MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Director Hatch moved that the Board direct the District Engineer to prepare
a study for the entire District on the cumulative impacts of possible develop-
ment areas as concerns the impact on water, sewerage, and electricity. The
motion was seconded by Director Huber.
Director Sutton stated she felt parking and traffic should also be included
in the motion.
ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye.
SO MOVED.
Director Sutton noted that her ''yes'' vote was with reservations; she didn' t
quite understand some of the implications of the motion. Director Hatch clar-
ified the motion by stating that it was his intention that Mr. Cook tie in with
those appropriate people who deal in the sewage business and try to relate
those impacts to impacts the District is aware of; it was not his intent that
Mr. Cook make a complete sewer study.
Planning Department Agenda - October 26, 1978 - Director Sutton noted that the
following projects appeared on the October 26, 1978, Planning Department Agenda
for final approval :
The old White House - Al O'Brien's project;
Wally Stevens' project;
Village Green expansion;
First Baptist Church - requesting rezoning.
She further noted that the Stevens' project is located close to an adequate
fire hydrant, but she still had questions relating to fire flow.
Cumulative impact study - Director Huber suggested that the County be advised
of the cumulative study on the Highway 267 impact the District is preparing, and
also to advise them that the TDPUD feels there is a problem or potential prob-
lem.
Director Sutton moved that such letter be sent by the Manager before the
end of the week to the appropriate County officials. The motion was seconded
by Director Huber. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton,
aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
Martis Valley Meadows Subdivision - Director Sutton advised that, regarding the
Environmental Impact Report on Martis Valley Meadows Subdivision the District
has not yet provided comment to the Planning Department. She recommended the
EIR be obtained and reviewed by the Engineer from the standpoint of water, and
by the Manager from the standpoint of electrical service; also, that a draft
comment be made in behalf of the District to be presented to the Board for the
November 6th meeting for review and interjection into the EIR proceedings. SO
ORDERED BY BOARD CONSENSUS.
CORRESPONDENCE
The President acknowledged correspondence from Jack Marquette, Manager of
the Truckee Sanitary District, dated October 3, 1978. His letter reaffirmed
10/16/78 pg. 14
a!
the TSD Board' s appointment of Mrs. Adkerson and Mr. Westbrook on the TSD -
TDPUD Study Committee for possible merger of services; a copy of this letter
has been attached to these minutes. President Maass advised that he would
be contacting Mrs. Adkerson to schedule a meeting. He further advised that,
during the next three weeks, he may have evening commitments that conflict
with these committee meetings. Therefore, he designated Director Sutton as
an alternate for the TSD - TDPUD Committee.

11 :56 P.M. Director Sutton left the meeting at this point.
RETURN TO PUBLIC SESSION
President Maass reconvened the meeting to Public Session at 12:27 A.M.
PERSONNEL MATTERS
Director Hatch moved that Susan Craig's monthly salary be increased by $50
per month. Director Huber seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber,
aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, absent; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
Director Hatch moved that any overtime, from this point on, worked by Susan
Craig be paid (rather than compensatory time) at the rate of one and one half
times her regular pay. Motion seconded by Director Kuttel . ROLL CALL: Hatch,

Director Hatch moved that, concerning any compensatory time that is on the
record for Susan Craig at this time, the Manager be given the authority to of-
fer reimbursement to Susan at the rate of one and one half times her regular
hourly pay. The motion was seconded by Director Huber. ROLL CALL: Hatch,
aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, absent; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.
RESOLUTION AUTHROIZING THE ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY
Director Hatch moved that the Board adopt Resolution No. 7852 which would
authorize the District Manager to offer to the Ralphs a sum of $50,000 for
purchase of their parcels of land surrounding Tonini Springs (approximately
seven acres) ; and, if accepted, authorizing the expenditure to complete the
transaction. The motion was seconded by Director Huber. ROLL CALL: Hatch,
aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, absent; Maass, aye. SO MOVED.

MANAGER'S REPORT
OCTOBER 16, 1978
1 . GENERAL STATUS OF DISTRICT
Outages - During the past two weeks, we have had several minor power
outages. One in particular of note was caused by the loss of a transformer
in the Sierra Pacific system, which affected all of our Tahoe Donner and Donner
Lake customers as well as all of northern Nevada including parts of Reno. Our
Truckee substation remained on during this outage because it is fed from Verdi
and was connected directly to the Tracy Steam Plant.
There have also been several water outages during the past two weeks
caused by contractors working in the area. The most serious of these were
water outages in the Deerfield area caused by Jetco Underground tying in ser-
vices and fire hydrants. Some of the water outages to Deerfield area businesses
were extended much longer than the contractor anticipated causing considerable
hard feelings on the part of some of the businesses in the vicinity of the east
end of Donner Lake.
2. REPORT AS TO HOW POWER WILL BE PROVIDED TO BEACON HILL SUBDIVISION
If the Beacon Hill Subdivision eventually is approved, a power distribu-
tion system will be provided by the subdivider, George Gardai . The entire sys-
tem will be installed to our requirements. We will be required to lay out the
pole lines and mark the location of the poles and guys, approve the design draw-
ings, and inspect and approve the final construction. Essentially, the same
requirements will also be placed upon the developer for the water line system.
3. REPORT RESPECTING MEADOW PARK SEWER ASSESSMENTS
have talked to Dr. Tapia regarding this matter. Apparently, it was
an oversight on their part and he has promised to take care of getting the
sewer assessment paid.
4. REPORT REGARDING WHITE PINE COUNTY'S PROPOSAL FOR ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT
have no further progress to report on the White Pine County proposal
for an electric generating plant. I have talked very briefly to Sierra Pacific
Power people regarding the possibility of wheeling. I have not had any sort
of positive response. It has been suggested that we write a letter to them out-
lining our anticipated needs.
5. REPORT RE WHETHER OR NOT COST REPLACEMENT FOR NORTHSIDE WELL AND REPAIR OF
MOTOR FOR STANDBY CAN BE CHARGED TO TAHOE DONNER TRUST FUND
I have talked to Martin McDonough about this and he has promised a letter
to us giving us his opinion on this matter. During our telephone conversation,
he seemed to doubt whether or not this would be possible.

6. REPORT REGARDING POWER LINE EXTENSION UNDER RULE 15 TO SERVE SANDERS NO. 1
WELL
We furnished Dart a quotation on this power line extension slightly in
excess of $10,000. We further explained to them that because of the amount, by
law, we would have to go to bid unless Dart chose to provide the line extension
themselves to our specifications at their cost. Because of the time frame in-
volved and the belief that they can do the work for less money than the District
going to bid, Dart has elected to provide the necessary line extension to the
Sanders Well according to our requirements. They have contracted with Slater
Electric and Mountain Electric to do the necessary work. We have offered to
sell to the contractor the necessary underground cable at our cost. This cable
is part of the surplus material we advertised for bid last year but could find
no bidder.
7. EXPLANATION - SUGAR IN SPICE AND LA BELLAVIA METER PROBLEMS
In July of this year, Mrs. Byer, one of the owners of LaBellavia, received
a disconnect notice from the District because her electric bill was long over due
and quite large. She came in and talked to me and agreed to pay $200 per week
until their bill was caught up provided we would not cut them off and put them
out of business. Payments continued sporadically during the summer until Sep-
tember when they again became seriously delinquent. Mrs. Byers again came in
to talk to me and I offered to do a survey of their premises to determine what
they were doing wrong, if anything, that might influence their power bill .
also reviewed other similar establishments in the vicinity to determine how La
Bellavia 's power bill compared with other restaurants of like character. In
making my review, I discovered that something seemed to be awry as LaBellavia's
power bill was the second highest of any restaurant in Truckee. I sent Bruce
Grow out to do a survey, and he returned indicating that everything seemed to
be alright and that the power read by the meter seemed to agree with what he
read using portable instruments. In reviewing his figures, I noticed that he
was using a meter multiplier of 40 whereas the meter page in the meter book
said the multiplier was 80. Further investigation revealed that the meter mul-
tiplier should be indeed 40, and that the meter page was in error. The meter
page has been in error since 1973. Finding this out, we went back and recal-
culated all the power bills back since that meter was placed in service. We
discovered that, for the first year that the meter was in service, no multiplier
was used at all resulting in extremely low and inaccurate power bills. In 1973,
somebody in the District discovered that no multiplier was being used and in-
correctly calculated the multiplier to be 80 instead of 40. Consequently, all
subsequent bills for that time were almost double what they should have been. We
recalculated all of the bills using the correct multiplier and determined that
Sugar 'n Spice Bakery and the owners of the building had refunds coming to them.
In the case of Sugar ' n Spice, the refund amounted to $2,471 net, which took into
account the fact that they were underbilled for the first year and overbilled from
1973 until 1977. We also paid them 7% percent interest compounded annually on the
overbilling. LaBellavia received a credit of $2064 on their current bill , which
brought them right up current and we anticipate no further problem with this ac-
count. I wrote letters to both LaBellavia and Sugar 'n Spice apologizing for the
error and I believe that the matter is now closed.

3. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE 2" LINE SERVING THE SOUTHERN
PACIFIC RAILROAD TRAILERS
I have researched the office files in this matter, however, I have
not been able to get to the root installation agreement. I would
therefore ask that this matter be put over to your November 6th
meeting, so that I may complete the investigation:
4. RECOMMENDATION REGARDING DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN THE DISTRICT
A. Beacon Hill:
Please see the attached recommendations concerning
Beacon Hill. (Letter October 10, 1978) page 6
B. Tahoe Meadows :
Please see the attached letter concerning the Tahoe
Meadows development.. (Letter October 10, 1978) page 8
C. Proposed Morinoto duplexes - Ponderosa Drive
Please see the attached recommendations concerning
this proposal. (Letter October 10, 1978) page 10
D. R.V.A. Proposed 30 Lot Subdivision North of Ponderosa
Palisades South
Please see the attached letter. (October 16 , 1978) page 12
E. Ponderosa Palisades Duplexes - 11 Lots , 22 Units
We have completed the- plan check on the noted development
and returned them to Cranmer Engineering for correction. Please
also see the attached letter from the developers transmitting
their check. in the amount of $2,000 to the District as a credit
towards the Evergreen Circle Ponderosa Palisades intertie.
I understand Keith Sauers will be in attendance tonight with the
final plans.
5. REPORT ON MISCELLANEOUS SPRINGS LOCATED WITHIN THE DISTRICT
We are presently developing benefit cost ratio analysis for the
tying into the District water distribution system; 1) the Anderson
Spring; 2) the Prosser Lake Spring; 3) the Sheepherder Spring.
The District is in need of additional source and without totally
prejudging the benefit cost analysis currently under way, it would
39
appear that the Anderson Spring and the Sheepherder. Spring can be
brought into the District's supply facilities at a substantial savings
in the overall cost of producing water within the service zones that
are directly supplied by the Springs . Attached is the zonal map
showing the areas of greatest benefit from the inner-connection of
the springs to the distribution system. We will present the complete
benefit cost analysis to you at your November 6, 1978 Board Meeting.
It may be appropriate to refer the discussion and the analysis to
the Water Committee prior to your next Board Meeting.
6. REPORT ON FIRE FLOW DOWNTOWN TRUCKEE
Fire flow in the downtown Truckee area of course is deficient
as described in your 1976 Report. Enclosed is Figure No. 9A
from the 1976 Report showing the relative deficiencies of the various
areas . Page 16.
7. REPORT ON CONSTRUCTION OF THE DISTRICT PARKING AREA
The reconstruction of the District parking area has 'been completed.
There are some administrative problems that could'_result in some
hard feelings and other unpleasantries and I would therefore request
that any discussion on this matter be deferred to ' your executive
session scheduled for this evenings meeting.

Re: Tentative Map, Beacon Hill Vista Subdivision
Dear Milt:
Enclosed is the revised (8-21-78) tentative map for Beacon
Hi.11. Vista Subdivision, upon which I have indicated the in
tract conditions that I see as required to provide service
to this proposed subdivision.
Due to the height of the proposed subdivision above the Prosser
Heights subservice area, a duplex booster station will be
/^ required. I suggest that the District be provided what I have
called Parcel B within Lot 2 of the proposed subdivision as
F the site of the booster, to be part of the subdivision
improvements.
I also recommend that the system be looped to provide for
continuity of the system and to guard against stale water
problems. The small number of lots and a rather extended
length of line necessitate, in my judgment, a looped system,
and from my view, this is a non-negotiable point.
I recommend that the developer extend Lockwood Road to the west
boundary of the subdivision and construct a paved access road
to Parcel A, upon which the developer should be required to
construct a 100,000 gallon AWWA steel storage tank.
Milton Seymour
Truckee, California
October 10, 1978
Page 2.
I recommend that a condition be placed on the map excluding
water service from the area that I have shaded blue, adjacent
to the tank. Service to the area can be properly made available
provided that a subagreement with the resulting property owner
is executed indemnifying the District from the substandard
pressure that will be experienced in the shaded area.
The developer will be required to pay a facility fee, source
fee, storage fee and tapping fee as provided in the Rules and
Regulations of the District. Due to the physical relationship
of the proposed development with the Prosser Heights subservice
area, I do not foresee the need for off site construction. The
contribution to source must be timely applied in order to prevent
a shortage in this critical subservice area.
Should you have any questions concerning these recommendations
please do not hesitate to call. Enclosed is the tentative that
you provided for our review.
Very truly yours,

Re: Tahoe Meadows Unit No. 2
Dear Milt:
The proposed 40 unit condominium project
Sierra
doff the
easterly extension of Jeffrey Pine Roo
Subdivision. The subject parcel was not a participating entity
in the Sierra Meadows Assessment District and did not contribute
to the cost of providing public facilities within the Sierra
Meadows area. The subject project should pay all of the source,
storage, facility fees, connection fees, tapping fees and
related costs that the District has adopted by rule and ordinance.
In addition to the normal fees
shou d be imposedthe
following
conditions, in my opinion, upon the proposed
r
development.
On Site Requirements
There should be constructed within the interior loop of the
proposed development, an 8" diameter water main capable of
distributing the fire flows that have been requested by the
Truckee Fire Protection District. The target fire flow is
2,000 GPM. Fire hydrants should be located within the project
area in accordance with the directives
from the extension of Jeffrey
A tie line to the loop shall come
Pine. Additional tie lines shall be provided from Cumberline
Road through the fire access route provided on the map, together
with a tie line to the 811 diameter main on State Highway 267.

r
i
off�Requirements
It will be physically impossible to deliver the fire flows of
2,000 GPM to the subject development without accomplishing the
relocation of the pressure reducing valve in State Highway 267.
The relocated position should be in Reynolds Way, isolating the
low zone from the northerly loop of the Sierra Meadows subservice
area. Additionally, it will be necessary to provide the intertie
between Palisades Drive and Evergreen Circle in order to reduce
the line losses and to supplement the existing fire flow capability
of the existing system.
In addition to the fire flow demand on the water distribution
system, the subject development will impose approximately 100 GPM
additional duty on a peak day basis that must be satisfied by
the Southside Booster. It is therefore my recommendation that
the developer include within the project performance, the
reconstruction, rehabilitation and relocation of the Southside
Booster.
The facility fee for the subject project will tape into considera-
tion the fact that the facilities to be utilized by the project
have not been financed in any part by the underlying property
owners. Therefore, it should be anticipated that the facility
fee will be higher than an equivalent 40 unit condominium unit
elsewhere within the subservice area.

Enclosed is the tentative map provided upon which we have noted
the in fact improvements that we feel are minimum for you and
the Board to consider.

Re: Morinoto 24 Unit Duplex Proposal
Palisades Drive
Dear Milt:
i
The Morinoto proposal is to construct 24 units on the. eastern
side of Palisades Drive directly south of the proposed theater
complex. This site adjoins the utility district's Southside
Complex. The development, if carried to conclusion, will place
a demand on the Southside Booster for approximately 50 GPM
f-- average on the pealk day. Fire Chief Copeland indicates that he
i would like to have 1500 GPM fire flow in the vicinity and _
f depending on the building exposure, the fire flow requirement
may increase to 2000 GPM.
I would recommend that the development be responsible in part
or in total, for the refitting, reconstruction and relocation of
the Southside Booster to accommodate the additional flows. I
would also recommend that approval be subject to the intertie
between Palisades Drive and Evergreen. Court being accomplished
in total or in part by the subject developer. That of course,
is providing that the Fire District will settle for 1500 GPM
fire flow. At the current time, in the vicinity of Unit I. of
I the proposed project, our maximum yield is 1100 GPM. The
Evergreen loop will substantially increase the fire flow avail-
able at the Unit 1 location. However, even with the loop in
place there is no possibility that 2000 GPM can be provided

with the existing system. If the 2000 GPM is required by the
Fire Chief, a major line constructed along the northerly
extension of Pine Cone Road from the Sierra Meadows tank intertie
to Highway 267 and looping easterly along 267 to Palisades Drive
will be required.
The subject development will be required to pay the source,
storage, facility fees, tapping fees and related fees provided
by the District's rules and regulations. Meters at each of the
duplex units will be required.
Should you have any questions concerning the subject development,
please do not hesitate to call. Enclosed is the tentative layout
that you provided for review.

RE: Ponderosa Palisades Duplexes
Gentlemen:
We have been advised by our engineer that fire flow to
our project is restricted by your present pipeline system.
Your engineer has determined that looping your 8 inch pipe-
line from Evergreen Circle to Ponderosa Drive would solve
our problem.
We would support any reasonable solution you may deter-
mine in order to improve our fire flow to 1,250 g.p.m.
Our engineer and your consultant, Mr. Cook, determined that
$2 ,000 would be a reasonable determination of our pro-rata
share of the cost of this improvement. We are willing to
provide this financial assistance with the understanding
that it will be used to make improvements to the water
system to provide our necessary fire flow.
Enclosed is our contribution in the amount of $2 ,000
to be used for this purpose. If you have any questions
please contact us or Cranmer Engineering, Inc. at (916)
273-7284.
Thank you for your consideration. i ; � 'I L
