January 4, 1978
The regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Truckee-Donner Public
Utility District, set over from Monday, January 2, 1978 because of the holiday,
was called to order by the President in the District office at 7: 12 P.M.
ROLL CALL: Director Alexander, present; Director Huber, present; Director
Kuttel , present; Director Maass, present; Director Sutton, present.
EMPLOYEES PRESENT: A. Milton Seymour, Kay Pomponio, and Susan Craig.
CONSULTANTS PRESENT: Steve Grumer, District Counsel , and Dan Cook, District
Engineer, Mr. Cook arriving at 7:20 P.M.
OTHERS PRESENT: See list of audience attendance attached following these
minutes.
CORRECTION AND APPROVAL OF MINUTES
It was moved by Director Kuttel and seconded by Director Huber that the
minutes, as corrected, of October 17, 1977, be approved. ROLL CALL: Alexander,
abstain; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Maass, aye; Sutton, aye. SO MOVED. Director
Alexander noted for the record that her abstention related to the fact that
she was not a director on the date of this particular meeting.
BILLS FOR BOARD APPROVAL AND STATEMENT OF GENERAL FUND
Director Huber questioned the uneven denomination listed. in standby charges;
the General Manager stated that he would report on this matter at the next reg-
ular meeting.
President Sutton made query re charges of Cook Associates as to whether
charges on FmHA loan should be billed separately and paid separately because
they will be reimbursed by the loan. Dan Cook indicated that part of the loan
fund included engineering expenses which were based on a percentage of the con-
struction contract for the basic services as defined by our agreement (the
FmHA agreement) . The agreement has to do with all the design work, preparation
of the contract specifications, bidding documents and plans. It does not in-
clude the survey work. The contract provides for additional services which
are billed at the regular hourly rate - inspection, survey, property descrip-
tions, and acquisitions. Either category of service is eligible under the
loan agreement with FmHA. President Sutton asked that the Cook Associates'
billing not be paid at this time, but be paid in two weeks. Mr. Seymour point-
ed out that, in August of 1977, the District agreed that regardless of whether
or not the FmHA loan was obtained, the District would pay engineering costs.
Director Kuttel concurred. President Sutton questioned, at this point, when
Cook should be paid, by what money, how payment is to be accounted for if paid
out of general fund when it should be paid out of the loan proceeds; she felt
it may not be legal to reimburse general fund with loan proceeds when assess-
ment district was involved. Mr. Seymour advised that the District bookkeeper,
Mary Chapman, was collecting all Cook Associates ' charges on work orders, en-
titled "Deerfield Line," so that they would be properly earmarked. President
Sutton stated that she was not challenging whether or not the District owes
Mr. Cook the money, or whether or not the District has the obligation to pay
the money, but rather what money should be used to pay the obligation. -It was
moved by Director Kuttel and seconded by Director Alexander that the Board ap-
prove and pay all bills as presented on Bills for Board Approval . ROLL CALL:
Alexander, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Maass, aye; Sutton, no. SO MOVED.
President Sutton stepped down from the chair and moved that the foregoing
motion be amended to delete approval of payment of Cook Associates' billing
in the amount of $5,762.95 dated December 8, 1977, which includes $4,500 in
engineering fees for FmHA loan project. No second forthcoming, the amendment
to the motion failed.
For the record, President Sutton noted that she did not approve of the
expense for meals at the Truckee Hotel in the amount of $10 per employee for
three employees on two different days due to overtime. She felt this amount
was too much, and suggested that perhaps expenses should be negotiated with
the union; she did not feel this was a dishonorable action by the persons in-
volved, just more money than the District should be spending.
Director Maass made a request that, in the future, the Pacific Telephone
-1-
7 A
Company billing be broken down to show actual telephone and telemetry ex-
pense. Other Board members concurred.
President Sutton advised that $166,000, Sierra Pacific Power Company
refund, was transferred to the Local Agency Investment Fund account a few
days after it was received on the basis of her signature in the absence of
Mr. Seymour.
SPECIAL BUSINESS
Steve Grumer presented proposed Ordinance 7801 , Changing Domestic
Electric Rates, to the Board. After presentation by A. Milton Seymour and
discussion by the Directors, at 7:52 P.M. , the Public Hearing was opened.
PUBLIC HEARING
Marge Adkerson, an interested member of the community, had questions
relating to whether the District would be sending information re the new
rate along with our billing. It was suggested that a hand-stamped message
be placed on billing envelopes.
In regards to the new residential rate change, President Sutton re-
quested the minutes show that Shirley Rosemund applauded.
No other member of the public wishing to be heard, President Sutton
declared the Public Hearing closed at 7:58 P.M. , and the regular meeting was
reconvened.
Director Kuttel noted for the record that he felt the bill' should
either be itemized entirely or not at all .
Following Board discussion regarding changes to the draft of Ordinance
7801 , Mr. Seymour elaborated on the changes to be made in the draft. He
felt, as did Director Kuttel , that the following statement should appear
on the Ordinance: ". . . the fuel charge resolutions and California surcharge --�--,
provisions of the law shall remain the same and are not affected by this
Ordinance." All Directors concurred. The draft of Ordinance No. 7801 was
amended to include the statement, "The existing fuel charge and California
energy surcharge provisions shall remain the same," following the statement
respecting Energy Charge. The draft Ordinance was also amended to read,
"This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days from the date of
adoption," rather than "This Ordinance shall become effective on the first
day of the month after the last thirty (30) days from the date of adoption."
It was moved by Director Maass and seconded by Director Huber that Ordinance
No. 7801 be retyped reflecting the above noted changes, and that Ordinance
No. 7801 , Changing Domestic Electric Rates, be adopted on this date. ROLL
CALL: Alexander, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Maass, aye; Sutton, aye.
SO MOVED.
PACKAGE INSURANCE EXPIRATION
Glen Stice, insurance agent of record, appeared before the Board. Dis-
cussion was held re coverage, which expires in March of 1978, and possible
renewal and changes, or going to bid. Motion was made by Director Huber and
seconded by Director Maass to appoint Stice and Wells to renew the insurance
package with Royal Globe if possible; if not possible, Stice & Wells to
notify the District within two weeks. ROLL CALL: Alexander, aye; Huber,
aye; Kuttel , aye; Maass, aye; Sutton, aye. SO MOVED. President Sutton ap-
pointed Director Huber and Director Alexander to act as a special committee
to work with the General Manager and Mr. Stice, and to examine the insurance
package.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM WATER COMMITTEE RE DART REQUEST TO BEGIN
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS ON TWO NEW WELL SITES
A report from the Water Committee was presented and has been made an
attachment to these minutes. Discussion between President Sutton and Jim
Thompson, Attorney for Dart Industries, re new supplemental agreement.
President Sutton wished to make it clear that t-he Board (TDPUD) had not
delayed a new supplemental agreement from being drafted, reviewed, and
adopted. It was moved by Director Huber and seconded by Director Kuttel
that a meeting between the Water Committee and Jim Thompson be held on
January 12, 1978, at the hour of 9:00 A.M. at which time the Environmental
-2-
Review Process will be discussed and Dart Industries will further define
the orderly development of groundwater sources that can be provided, what
our respective roles would be, how the sources could be used to the maxi-
mum benefit of the District in conjunction with Dart's need for service.
ROLL CALL: Alexander, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Maass, aye; Sutton,
aye. SO MOVED.
A workshop session with the Board is to be held following the meeting
of the 12th.
A motion was made by Director Huber and seconded by Director Kuttel to
adopt provisions of the Report from the Water Committee as follows:
l B - That the Board authorize the retention of William Nork to
advise the District regarding criteria for water source develop-
ment to be included in a new water agreement with Dart.
1 C - That the Board request advice and assistance from Mike Marron
of Steinhart, Goldberg, Feigenbaum & Ladar, special counsel to the
District on Tahoe Donner matters, in the development and considera-
tion of a new water agreement with Dart.
IIA - That the Board authorize Mike Marron, special counsel , to ob-
tain a statement from George Cattan, former manager of the District,
regarding the drilling of the Prosser well which was provided for in
the 1970 agreement and which has recently been determined to be un-
suitable for public water supply.
ROLL CALL: Alexander, no; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Maass, aye;
Sutton, aye. SO MOVED. Director Alexander wished to clarify her vote; a
she still has doubts in her mind as a Board member as to her position re
legal matters and the hiring of an engineering firm where Mike Marron was
involved.
The Board reaffirmed that the objectives that were defined in the
Report of the Water Committee are consistent with their thinking.
DRAFT AGREEMENT ON TRUCKEE RIVER WATERLINE CROSSING
Concerning the draft, after review of correspondence forwarded for his
review, Jim Thompson, Attorney for Dart Industries, would like it noted on
the record that it is acceptable to Dart Industries.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR NO. 537
Director Huber noted that she is in possession of Geological Survey
Circular No. 537 re California Earthquake of September, 1976. The map
shows fault line and seismic motion for ten seconds duration experienced
in the Sanders site.
MANAGER'S REPORT
REPORT ON FEEDER "F" REBUILD FIELD INSPECTION BY R. W. BECK
Bob Slattery and Pete Silva prepared a report concerning Feeder "F"
rebuild field inspection; a copy of said report is attached to the Manager's
Report which follows these minutes. Mr. Seymour noted that the items that
Ken Merriman and George Dixon brought up were fairly minor and had to do
with general practices.
,�... STATUS OF CUSTOMER REFUNDS DUE TO S.P.P. CO. REBATE
Mr. Seymour advised that work is progressing on calculating the con-
sumption by each customer for the rebate period. This is being done in
conjunction with the preparation of new meter pages. The calculations are
taking longer than anticipated, with approximately i2 books being completed
per day. We are finding that because of numerous changes in customers on
the same meter and meter change-outs, the time required to complete a book
is longer than anticipated. He indicated it may be the end of January be-
fore this process is completed. The computer programming company is work-
ing on a new program that will make it possible for the refund computations
to be made on the computer. Relating to this problem is the promised de-
livery of the high-speed printer this week.

REVIEW OF SEPTEMBER FINANCIAL REPORT
The Board requested clarification of the item described as "Real
Property - PUD House." This asset is listed as having a value of $24,959•
Investigation reveals that this amount was apparently conjured by our audit-
ors three years ago, and represents the value of the PUD house plus other
properties that are not part of plant-in-service. To clarify this matter,
Mr. Seymour recommends that research be undertaken to determine the facts
and develop a list of all PUD property, manner in which such property was
acquired, acquisition cost, and of which department it is an asset. This
can perhaps be included in the workshop sessions scheduled with the auditors ---�
prior to the issuance of the final audit report. Director Kuttel advised
that he would check into the date the house was constructed.
A review of sewer assessment charges on District parcel 18-602-006
"Meadow Park," is to be placed on the agenda of the next regular meeting.
Mr. Seymour indicated that there should be a $98 item shown for the
current month for interest charged to the Water Department; this interest
is interest on sewer assessments. The report erroneously shows the amount
of $288, the reason being that interest chargeable to the Electric Depart-
ment for a truck loan was mistakenly charged to the Water Department.
Mary Chapman's memo explaining interdepartmental adjustments has been made
an attachment to these minutes.
UPDATE ON STORM DAMAGE
It was reported by Mr. Seymour that during the recent storm period
from December 15th through December 20, 1977, 18 distribution fuses were
blown and one 60,000 volt primary fuse was blown. The primary fuse is
on the high side of the transformer bank serving Tahoe Donner. It appears
that the fuse is improperly sized for the transformer and circuit breaker
installation. The distribution fuses that were blown were located in var-
ious areas of Donner Lake, downtown Truckee, and Prosser Heights. All
blown fuses were caused by short circuits from wind and from trees fall-
ing across the lines. Four poles were lost due to falling trees; some ---�
customers were without service for up to two days. The total outage time
was approximately 400 customer hours; an estimated labor and material cost
to repair the damage is $7,000.
ALTERNATIVES FOR AFTER-HOURS CALL-OUT PROCEDURES
Mr. Seymour reported re problems with out present after-hours call-
out procedures. He has looked into three alternate procedures, which are
listed on the Manager' s Report attached hereto. He is to check into the
cost and possibility of using "beepers" and will report at the next reg-
ular meeting.
UPDATE ON WATER CONSUMPTION
Water consumption for the month of December was approximately 50% of
that of August, 1977. During the winter months, we do not keep daily
records of water consumption; records are kept on a monthly basis. Total
consumption for December, 1977 was 24,770,000 gallons compared with
54,900,000 gallons in August. Mr. Seymour reported that normal December
consumption is approximately 1/3 of the August consumption, which indicates
that there was an increase in use due to the tourist influx in the last
two weeks of the month.
SUMMARY OF COST TO INSTALL SECURITY LIGHTS
Mr. Seymour reported on the current cost to install a security light
and estimated the length of time it takes the District to recover the
initial cost of installation plus the cost of energy. After Board dis-
cussion re possible change in contract terms, it was moved by Director
Maass and seconded by Director Kuttel to refer this matter to the Electric
Committee. ROLL CALL: Alexander, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Maass,
aye; Sutton, aye.
The Manager's Report having come to a conclusion, the Board moved on
to UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
CONSIDERATION OF REVISED DRAFT POLICY STATEMENT RE LEASING OF DISTRICT LAND
Provisions of Resolution No. 7801 , a Resolution Establishing District
-4-
Policy Regarding the Lease of District Land, were discussed by the Board
and Mr. Grumer. Director Maass moved to adopt Resolution No. 7801 , with
Item No. 6 to read "at least four times," Item 8a to read "rent of one
percent," Item 8b to read "increases every five years," and Item 8c read-
ing "term of thirty years." Motion seconded by Director Kuttel . ROLL CALL:
Alexander, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Maass, aye; Sutton, aye. The Board
then discussed provisions of Item 8h re liability insurance limits; it was
decided that the Insurance Committee would check into this provision and
report to the Board at the next regular meeting.
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION DECLARING PARCEL ON HIGHWAY 267 UNNECESSARY FOR
DISTRICT USE
The Board discussed proposed Resolution No. 7802. Director Maass moved
to adopt Resolution No. 7802, a resolution declaring a parcel unnecessary for
District use, with the understanding that Mr. Grumer's draft would be re-
typed to include provisions one through four of Resolution No. 7801 . The
motion was seconded by Director Huber. ROLL CALL: Alexander, aye; Huber,
aye; Kuttel , aye; Maass, aye; Sutton, aye.
FARMERS HOME ADMINISTRATION LOAN/GRANT
Status Report
Dan Cook of Cook Associates advised that plans, specifications and
bidding documents have been approved, with changes, by FmHA and the County
Health Department. He anticipates the loan will close after payment of the
first progress payment on the 28th of March, 1978. Motion made by Director
Kuttel to adopt the plans and specifications for the Deerfield Line as
changed by the Health Department and FmHA. Motion seconded by Director
Huber. ROLL CALL: Alexander, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Maass, aye;
Sutton, aye. SO MOVED.
The Board discussed FmHA correspondence which indicated they have a
*~ need of Loan Resolution No. 77-46, which the District adopted on October
17, 1977• It was decided that the Resolution was adopted prematurely since
FmHA had made a commitment, but the actual offer had not yet been received.
Required Resolution Modifying Maturity Date of Bonds
Mr. Seymour advised that Peggy McElligott, Esq. is revising this Reso-
lution and will forward the same to the District upon completion.
Action regarding the FmHA loan to be taken at the Special Meeting
scheduled for January 10, 1978, at which time Jim Coulombe of R.E.A. and
R. W. Beck representative will be present.
BOARD REVIEW AND DIRECTION RE COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA REQUIREMENTS
A motion was made by Director Maass and seconded by Director Kuttel to
direct that a new Ordinance be prepared entitled "Local Guidelines Implement-
ing the California Environmental Quality Act." Mr. Grumer had previously
presented a draft of the Environmental Guidelines which was prepared by
Wilson, Jones, Morton and Lynch and reflects changes that are necessary.
ROLL CALL: Alexander, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Maass, aye; Sutton,
aye. SO MOVED. Action on Ordinance to be taken at the next regular Board
meeting.
REVIEW OF BIDS RECEIVED FOR MANAGER'S VEHICLE AND AWARD
Mr. Seymour advised that invitations to bid were sent to three dealers;
one bid only was received from Sacramento in the amount of $5, 150 for a Subaru,
delivery time was not indicated on the bid. There was no response from ad-
vertising in the local paper. Director Kuttel noted for the record that he
did not feel the Subaru was a safe vehicle for driving conditions in this area
and that it would not be suitable for District use. Director Maass moved that
the bid be awarded to Paul Snider Pontiac-Subaru in the amount of $5, 150; the
motion was seconded by Director Huber. ROLL CALL: Alexander, no; Huber, aye,
Kuttel , no; Maass, aye; Sutton, aye. SO MOVED by majority vote. Mr. Sey-
mour noted that the Subaru would not be his choice, but indicated he had
driven a Subaru in snow conditions and had no problems with the vehicle.
REVIEW OF BIDS RECEIVED FOR REMOVAL OF THE TDPUD HOUSE, MANAGER'S RECOMMENDA-
TION AND AWARD
Two bids for the removal of the TDPUD house were received, the lowest
-5-
being in the amount of $2, 150 from Kwitcherkikin Wrecking and Salvage. The
manager recommended that we direct Dan Cook to prepare some specifications
in contract form to be presented to Kwitcherkikin. Director Maass moved,
and Director Huber seconded the motion, that the bid be conditionally award-
ed to Kwitcherkikin subject to the acceptance by the contractor of a con-
tract document to be prepared by Dan Cook which will provide for terms of
removal , liability insurance to protect the District, a time frame in whcih
the work is to be completed, use of the premises during the period of re-
moval , termination of utilities, and removal of concrete below grade. ROLL
CALL: Alexander, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Maass, aye; Sutton, aye.
SO MOVED.
REVIEW OF BIDS RECEIVED FOR COPIER, MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
The Manager reported that two bids were received; one from Savin,
Tahoe City, which may not be considered since the price was not included,
and the other from I .B.M. , Reno. The Manager indicated that the I .B.M. bid
did not meet the District' s specifications and was extremely high-priced.
Mr. Seymour recommended that the District go back to bid. A motion was made
by Director Maass, and seconded by Director Alexander, that the District re-
ject the bid received. ROLL CALL: Alexander, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye;
Maass, aye; Sutton, aye. SO MOVED. A motion was made by Director Maass to
authorize the Manager to go to bid and advertise for a copier with the same
specifications as the prior bid. the motion was seconded by Director Alex-

by the Board and Mr. Grumer. District Counsel Grumer recommended the Dis-
trict deny the customer claims, the outages/brownouts resulting from an
act-of-God. A motion was made by Director Maass to deny the claims of
Whirlpool Corporation and Rudolph Gautsche re the damages from power out-
ages, and to refer these matters to the insurance company. The motion
