Several items of correspondence have been received from Mr. Merri- man of R. W. Beck and Associates the President reported. In Mr. Merriman' s letter of December 22, 1978, he requested District Counsel ' s opinion; how- ever, Mr. Grumer had not received a copy of that correspondence. President Maass indicated the Board should not, at this time, award the transformer bid in light of the proposed joint venture between Sierra Pacific and the TDPUD; the award for voltage regulators and rec l osers could be awarded at this time based on the Manager's written report and R. W. Beck's analysis (copies of both are attached hereto) . The difficulty of interpreting Beck's analysis was noted. The President suggested that a chart showing the bids received and Beck's rec- ommendations be prepared. He indicated he would contact Mr. Merriman and request an extension of time as well as the chart. The possibility of holding a meeting on Monday, January 8, 1979, to meet the award deadline for the regulators and rec losers was brought up. It was decided the Pres- ident would request an extension through Mr. Merriman. Mr. Grumer was asked to give an opinion as requested in the R. W. Beck letter dated December 22, 1978. After review of all Beck's corres- pondence, it was decided that, as yet, no opinion is required. of Mr. Grumer. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ACCEPTANCE OF EASEMENT FROM NORTH TAHOE PROPERTIES, INC. Noting- that no information had yet been received from M r. Cook, Direc- tor Sutton asked why this item had been again placed on the agenda. M r. Cook _ requested that the matter be discussed later in the meeting; it was his under- standing that there was a written commitment that he had not had the oppor- tunity to review. The President noted he would place the matter under the Engineer's Report. RESOLUTION APPOINTING DEPUTY DISTRICT CLERK The President advised that a copy of the draft resolution had been delivered to the Directors last week. Director Sutton made the following suggestions for correction to the proposed resolution: Change ". . .shad assume the following duties:" to ". . .shall assume the following duties under the direction of the Clerk of the District." Change 1 to ]a 2 to lb - 3 to i s - 4 to Id. Change 5 to 2 - b to 3 - 7 to 4. She felt the resolution should be very clear in the appointment sec- tion - that the duties should be under the direction of the Clerk of the District and that the Board has not created a second party who has equal authority and responsibility as the Clerk. Director Sutton noted a further change in number 5 (proposed number 2) . "Countersign contracts on behalf. . .'' to "Countersign contracts and other documents on behalf. . ." Mr. Grumer suggested , since no other Directors requested changes, that he consult with Director Sutton and thereafter redraft the resolution for con- sideration by the Board. Director S,u t tan suggested the preparation of two resolutions - one to establish the position, the other appointing someone to the position. By d1 rect ion of the Chair the item was tabled; the President noted the two resolutions would appear on the next meeting agenda. bYMMgtiWIMiMR.Y1iyA'i1NlYiYIiILW.i.�YieCAfiai`aakWfY9'ii.%dfliifYRi➢+iiafr"tiaw" .. ••.. __ .a..:.._. __..... _..,,...."_......z..-..»..>.._..:...... _. ... _ _:.::W...tv _.. _.. _. .. _ AUTHORIZATION TO APPROVE WORK ORDER FROM R. W. BECK ON TAHOE DONNER ELECTRICAL PLAN CHECK (TO BE PAID BY DART INDUSTRIES) The President noted that Mr. Merriman was requested approximately one month ago to supply quotes; to date none have been received. Since Tahoe Donner will be bearing this expense, President Maass suggested the Board authorize a work order for the plan check - he will contact Mr. Merriman by telephone tomorrow. Mr. Grumer suggested a motion be made as follows - that R. W. Beck is authorized to do the Tahoe Donner electrical plan check work relating to Units 8 through 11 - and that a certified copy of the minutes be forwarded to Beck. Don Strand of Dart Industries presented a copy of the plans for delivery to Bob Slattery, General Foreman of the District. Mr. Strand noted he would like to make a new tie which would cut off the line going to the airport beacon, which, he opinioned, was not in good repair. The President stated he did not foresee any problem in this being done; D i.rector Sutton stated she did not have concern relating to this mat- ter. Director Sutton, relating to the work order yet to be issued by R. W. Beck, stated she felt the District not only wanted a plan check, but also approval of the plans Tahoe Donner is going to use for the remainder of the electrical system. - Mr. .Cook stated, in his opinion, what the District is seeking is a complete analysis of the working drawings, specifications and bidding documents, so that when approved by the Board. the District w i 1 1 have a system that will meet the standards of the District and serve the area for the next 20 years. Further, that this should be stated by R. W. Beck on the cover sheet. He noted the District should request a complete review of the design criteria, the improvement plans, specifications and bidding documents for a system that wi 1 1 meet the District's standards. Director Sutton moved that the Board request R. W. Beck to perform a -- complete review of the design criteria, the improvement plans, specifications, and bidding documents for the electric distribution system in Units 8 through 11 of the Tahoe Donner Subdivision.

A copy has been attached to these minutes. t was Mr. R i Chardon's request that he be able to meet with the Board in December (1978) or January (1979) for the purpose of such review. Main- tenance of the integrity of the plan was mentioned by Director Sutton. President Maass indicated he would contact Mr. Richardson. Director Sutton suggested Mr. Richardson be requested to review the retirement plan for the benefit of the Board and to make recommendations he felt were necessary. The President noted he would try to scheud l e Mr. R i cha rdson's appear- ance for a meeting in February. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION RE ALLOCATION OF CONSULTANTS.' BILLINGS President Maass stated he felt this item tied in with Director Sutton's comments during review of the bills presented for Board approval regarding allocation of. bills. Director Sutton asked why this item had appeared on the agenda. She noted she was supposed to have been consulted by the Bookkeeping Department; as yet, she has not received an invitation to consult. President Maass noted that Director Sutton would be contacted shortly by the Bookkeeper. 1/2/79 pg. 3 APPROVAL OF FINAL PAYMENT TO BERTAGNOLL I Mr. Cook related that this. item has to do with authorization for pay- ment of the final 10% of the contract amount to Bertagnol i i for reconstruc- tion of the Di-strict parking facilities. The Notice of Completion was re- corded on November 29, 1978; the 35th day following the Notice of Completion will be January 3, 1979. (The contract specifications provide for final payment to be made 35 days following the recording of the Notice.) It was Mr. Cook's recommendation that the Board authorize payment of the final 10% in the amount of $2,032. 15 to be paid shortly after January 3rd, and that the check carry the notation (on both sides) that it is the final payment in full for the September 5th contract for parking lot reconstruction. Mr. Cook noted that the statutory time specified in the contract documents for contesting the tabulation of the final amount due. has passed. He did not feel Mr. Bertagnoili would claim the $4,800 that he seeks for double pay- ment. Director Sutton moved that the, Board authorize the final payment to T. E. Bertagnol I i in the, amount of. $2,032. 15. as per the original contract for the reconstruction of the District parking facilities and the authorized change order. The motion was seconded by Director Huber. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. APPROVAL OF FINAL PAYMENT TO BERTAGNOLL i FOR HAULING DEBRIS Mr. Cook noted this item was for work done outside the contract. Dis- trict employees requested that debris be removed and deposited in the region- al dump. A bill in the amount of $494.50 has been received; in Mr. Cook' s opinion, the amount was too h-i gh. The billing includes $100 in dump fees. The work wa,s done at District request without employees asking for an esti- mate. Upon inquiry made by Director Sutton, .Mr. Cook advised he believed Mike Connell and Bruce Grow had made t-he .request for the work. Director Hatch asked if anyone in the District has purchasing authority and is able to make a contract. Director Sutton answered that she thought the Manager was the only one authorized. Director Hatch moved that the matter be tabled until Executive Ses- sion. The Chair ordered that the matter be tabled until that time.

The President noted that billings from the Sanitary District, -Pacific Telephone and also, District repairs should be checked prior to final payment. Mr. Cook noted that he would be checking with known suppliers; if there is an outstand- ing dispute, determination as to its resolution will be made; if they cannot be resolved, the District will be given an accounting. Mr. Cook noted he was seeking approval of the pay estimate, approval of the Not i ce of Completion and, if in order, adoption of the ordinance.

Sanders Well - Mr. Cook reported that the power has been extended to the Sanders Well at the present time. The i.n i t i a l testing of the f ac i l i t i.es will take place tomorrow. The water cannot be pumped into the system until receipt of the amended permit. Sawtooth Springs Special Use Perm i t - The District has, Mr. Cook advised, a valid use perm i t' for .the use of the springs and transmission main from the Forest Service. However, an amendment must be made concerning the location. He mentioned Judge Fugazi 's tentative proposal (Martis Woods) which, if ap- proved, will change the routing (from the springs to the South Side Complex) .

PLANNING DEPARTMENT NOTICES Safeway Store Complex - Mr. Cook presented a draft letter prepared at the Manager's request to the Nevada County Planning Department concerning the proposed Safeway Store Complex. The draft restates two previous letters sent to the District expressing concern for the existing facilities and how they were to be perfected and provided for in the installation of the store. He made reference to a letter from the Fire Protection District wherein they quantified the fire flow they were seeking. The District is not capable of rov i d i n h providing the amount they seek. Mr. Cook noted that the line and the loop increase the actual fire flow throughout the length of Deerf i 1 ed (from about 750 GPM to 1 100 GPM) . Determination of a facility fee for the proposed devel- opment and fire flow were discussed. Mr. Cook-Is draft letter which is attached to these minutes was review- ed.
