ROLL CALL: Directors Hatch, Huber, Kuttel , Sutton and Maass were present. EMPLOYEES PRESENT: A. Milton Seymour and Susan Craig were present. 4 CONSULTANTS PRESENT: District Engineer Cook arrived at 7:08 P.M. ; District Counsel Grumer arrived at 7:09 P.M. OTHERS PRESENT: Among those present were Nick Nicholsen, Christine Rogers, Roger Chance, Don Strand, Grace Robertson and Shirley Rosamond. APPROVAL -OF MINUTES Director Sutton noted she had checked the minutes of July 17, 1978, November 6, 1978, November 8, 1978, and November 13, 1978, as prepared in final form; she found them to be in order. It was mentioned that, since pre- pared in final form, Director Huber had submitted a correction to the Novem- ber 6th minutes. Director Sutton moved that the Board approve the minutes of July 17, November 8, and November 13, 1978, as prepared in final form. The motion was seconded by Director Hatch. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. Director Sutton moved that the Board approve the final copy of the Novem- ber 6th minutes with the addition of the correction submitted by Director Huber to be incorporated. President Maass noted that, in order to follow past practices, the correction (submitted after Board direction was given to pre- pare the minutes in final form) should be attached rather than incorporated. Director Huber seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kut- tel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, no. SO MOVED. President Maass requested that the record show he believed the Board was setting a precedent by allowing additional corrections rather than attaching them; he further stated he felt it would "foul up" the system. President Maass asked if, after the Board has approved the minutes, an additional error is discovered, the applicable correction would simply become an attachment to those minutes. Director Sutton stated she did not agree; it would depend on the magnitude of the error. Further, she stated the Board has the power to approve, at any time, something that is called to its attention. In light of this discussion President Maass changed his "no" vote to a "yes" vote; he did, however, still request that the minutes reflect his concern regarding setting any precedent about correcting minutes at any time since the system is working relatively well . Director Sutton moved that the Board approve the minutes of November 21 , 1978, as drafted. The motion was rescinded. Director Sutton moved that the final copy of the minutes of November 21st be prepared as drafted. The motion was seconded by Director Kuttel . ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. President Maass noted - that the draft minutes of November 20, 1978, which i should have appeared on this meeting agenda- for direction, were not listed because they were late in arriving to the Directors for review due to a tape problem. Director Sutton commented that she had provided her tapes for use by, the secretary in preparation of these minutes. BILLS FOR BOARD APPROVAL AND STATEMENT OF GENERAL FUND In response to Director Sutton's question, Mr. Seymour advised that the approved payment to Mira Shea in the amount of $31 .03 (refund - line extension) was due to an overage-on the estimate to connect the KTRT building; some of the others listed were paybacks for o 1 d.er installations. Regarding the unapproved billings from T. E. Bertagnol l i & Associates ($494.50 and $4,800.79) .the Manager noted the Board would be receiving a 12/18/78 pq, 1 recommendation from Mr. Cook. Director Kuttel moved, and Director Hatch seconded, that the bills in the amount of $926.21 be paid. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. COMMITTEE REPORTS Electric Committee - The President noted that the Electric Committee had met; the meeting will be discussed during the Manager's Report. MANAGER'S REPORT General status of District - Since the last meeting, Mr. Seymour noted, there has been a problem with the Prosser Heights water system. On Sunday there was an outage at the TTSA Plant caused by the Ioss of one phase. The failure was of such a nature that the TTSA emergency generator did not come on. The matter was checked into; a weak fuse was the cause of the failure - all three fuses at that location were replaced - no further problem is anticipated. The Prosser Heights pump control system is still not operational . Report on meeting with Sierra Pacific Power Co. - The Manager reported that he and Director Huber met with representatives of Sierra Pacific and Ken Mer- riman (of R. W. Beck) a week ago last Friday. The meeting was an informative one; it was quite apparent that Sierra Pacific's 60kV system is very heavily loaded. Sierra Pacific seems anxious for a joint venture with the TDPUD using their 120kV system. The benefits of such a venture were discussed. He fur- ther reported that representatives of Sierra Pacific planned to visit the PUD during the week of December 18th to look at potential sites. The general con- sensus was that Sierra Pacific and the TDPUD might have a joint substation site. Answering Director Sutton's question, Mr. Seymour said that, from the standpoint of the site selection, etc. , the District would be the lead agency, which would excellerate the time schedule. Director Sutton stated she felt this would be to the District's advantage since the District might make a better judgment regarding the location. Delays regarding permits could also be avoided. There is still the possibility of increasing the District's capacity prior to next fall . Mr. Seymour reported that Sierra Pacific will fund the feasibility study. The President made reference to the call for bids relating to the in- crease in substation capacity. He noted that, when bids were awarded, power transformers would be excluded from such award. No recommendations from R. W. Beck relating to the bids have yet been received. A special meeting may be called for the bid award. This matter will again be discussed, President Maass stated, during Unfinished Business. Report on reimbursable bills - Mr. Seymour noted this item has to do with con- sultants' bills that have not been billed, when applicable, to a third party. He advised that Mrs. Chapman is gathering the bills for review by himself and Director Sutton. Status report on Grover Curtis claim - The Manager commented that, as yet, no dollar amount of his claim has been forthcoming from Mr. Curtis. A copy of Bob Slattery's report (which is attached along with the Manager's Report to these minutes) was provided to each of the Directors. Report on District Parcel "J" - A letter was received from the Truckee Park and Recreation District turning down the offer of the PUD to lease to them Parcel "J" at this time. They indicated they did not have funds for assess- ments or upkeep of the parcel . LEASE OF 1 .9 ACRES OF DISTRICT LAND (CORNER OF HWY 89 & DONNER PASS RD.) Mr. Grumer advised that the propsoed resolution had been revised; the other documents have been in the Board's hands for several months and have not been modified. The Questionnaire to be completed by prospective bidders was reviewed and briefly discussed. 12/18/78 p9, 2 1 Relating to the proposed resolution, Director Hatch noted ,.that the legal description of the property had not been included. However, Director Sutton advised that the legal description had been included in the resolu- tion declaring this parcel unnecessary for District use. After discussion, the President noted that the proposed resolution will be amended to include the legal description of the property to be leased. Director Huber moved that the Board adopt Resolution No. 7864 approving the specifications and calling for bids on the lease of the 1 .9 acre parcel ; the bid opening is to be on February 20, 1979, at 4:00 P.M. Mr. Grumer was asked to handle the advertising - he was agreeable. Mr. Grumer noted that the site plan, method of construction and materials used would be subject to District approval . The motion was -seconded by Director Kuttel . ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. Director Sutton requested that the minutes show she voted yes on the motion because there is apparently no alternative use that has come forth from the community for the use of the land, such as for a public facility. RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE INTENT OF THE DISTRICT TO MAKE AVAILABLE CERTAIN LAND FOR THE PURPOSE OF SENIOR CITIZEN HOUSING Mr. Cook presented to the Board a map of the South Side complex and sur- rounding area; the map specified the minimum area required to protect the com- plex, in his opinion. It was Mr. Cook's recommendation that a portion of the land, 8. 11 acres - approximately 5 acres of which are flat - be made available for the purpose of senior citizen housing. Discussion was held relating to the District's opposition (because of drainage problems and possible contamination to the District water supply) to other development in the South Side area. Mr. Cook explained how the run- off could be diverted away from the spring; and noted that any building in the area would have to be connected to the sewer system. Mrs. Rosamond, Director of the High Sierra Senior Citizens, related to the Board that the Federal Government is looking towards building complete senior complexes - ones that will serve all of their needs in one location. Grace Robertson, local rea l for, requested that the Board place up for b i d a parcel of land located in the general vicinity of the property being considered for senior citizen housing, and ad jo i-n i ng a parcel presently owned by her. A motel is planned for her parcel which is located on the north side of Che_z Rene. The Board clarified for Mrs. Robertson that they were not con- sidering, at this time, making available the entire 18 acres (upon which the South Side Spring is located) owned by the District for senior citizen housing. She stated that, if the District makes a decision to sell the portion of land she has indicated interest in, she be advised so that she may bid. The Board agreed to do so. Returning to the subject of senior citizen housing, the President clarified that the purpose of the proposed resolution is to show the District's intent to sell property for the purpose of building senior citizen housing. This would enable them to proceed with FmHA procedures. No commitment would be made re- lating to size of the parcel to be sold by adoption of the resolution. Drainage, run-off and other proposed development in the area were dis- cussed. Director Huber expressed concern relating to District approval of this project since it has opposed other proposed near-by development. Director Hatch clarified that, through proper design, any run-off created by the senior citizen housing could be diverted. away from the District water- supply. District control , by use of deed restrictions or covenants, conditions and restrictions, was discussed. Director Kuttel voiced his concern regarding the springs and wells. He reminded the Board of the problems last summer at both South Side Springs and Tonini Springs. Also, he mentioned traffic problems on Highway 267. He stated he would like to see the senior citizens more integrated with the rest of the community rather than in a separate complex. nn_ The possibility of an E. I .R. being required by the County was discussed. Director Sutton moved that the Board approve Resolution No. 7865 establishing the intent of the District to make available certain lands for the purpose of construction of senior citizen housing. The motion was seconded by Director Hatch. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, no; Kuttel , no; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. Director Huber stated her reason for voting "no" - on every project that has gone into that area along Ponderosa Palisades up to and adjoining District properties, the Board has directed that a letter be written to the Planning Commission concerning the drainage (changing the water hydrogeology of the area) ; she felt that any large complex would be largely paved, which would be of serious concern since the drainage would be towards the well and spring complex. Director Kuttel stated his concern is pollution of the spring area and wells. He further stated that the District commented to the Planning Com- mission on proposed development surrounding the property and asked that copies of all such correspondence become attachments to these minutes. In addition, he voiced concern regarding the traffic situation; there should be no more development on Highway 267 unless it is rerouted to Interstate 80. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING INCREASING SUBSTATION CAPACITY AND FINANCING THE PROJECT POSSIBLE AWARD OF BIDS - POWER TRANSFORMERS - VOLTAGE REGULATORS - RECLOSERS The President requested that the minutes note R. W. Beck's recommendations relating to the award of bids had not arrived as promised and, therefore, the award will not be discussed or considered by the Board. Mr. Seymour advised that one of the possible sites for a substation is just off the end of the long runway at the Airport - to the north and below the hill . This location would be along the route Sierra Pacific has planned for their l20kV line to Kings Beach. The Airport District is presently in the process of purchasing the property from Bertha Wolverton. The Airport Dis- trict had concern, Mr. Seymour noted, relating to possible radio interference caused by the substation. Due to the frequencies used by aircraft, the Man- ager did not feel this would be a problem. The location of a substation on the south side of the river, with only one river crossing, was mentioned. Mr. Seymour advised that Sierra Pacific's maintenance forces were located on the south side of the river; the PUD's forces are on the north. Director Huber mentioned that Sierra Pacific right-of-way agents would be investigating the matter of locating a desirable site for a substation. It was determined that award of the voltage regulator and recloser bids could be handled at the next regular meeting. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ACCEPTANCE OF EASEMENT FROM NORTH TAHOE PROPERTIES, INC. The proposed resolution has incorporated, by Board direction, the grant deed. Director Sutton noted that Mr. Cook and Mr. Seymour had been asked to check into the total need of the lot-split area; she did not feel the easement should be-accepted, she stated, until such time as a report has been received regarding arrangements for electric and water service for the entire parcel that was split. Mr. Cook reported that the requested report has not yet been prepared. Director Sutton asked that the item be tabled. The Board indicated that the proposed resolution is in order. The President requested that this item be placed on the first meeting agenda in January, 1979. Mr. Seymour noted that the County will not record this easement unless an authorizing resolu- tion is passed; further, escrow is being held up until such recording is af- fected. Mr. Seymour left the Board Room in search of correspondence relating to this item. Miscellaneous discussion ensued. INCREASING SUBSTATION CAPACITY In response to Director Sutton's question, the President and Director Huber clarified that the District would benefit financially if the joint location of substations (Sierra Pacific and TDPUD) goes through. 19/1R/7R nn h POSSIBLE ACTION RELATING TO TROUT CREEK WELL - MITIGATION AGREEMENT, NEGATIVE DECLARATION, NOTICE OF DETERMINATION AND RESOLUTION APPROVING TROUT CREEK PROJECT No opinion has yet been received from Mr. Marron's office relating to this item, the President noted; he tabled the matter and indicated that a special meeting may be called when the expected opinion arrives. Mr. Seymour returned to the room; no mention was made as to whether he r had located correspondence relating to North Tahoe Properties, Inc. RESOLUTION APPOINTING DEPUTY DISTRICT CLERK The Directors received a copy of the proposed resolution appointing Deputy District Clerk in today's mail ; President Maass was not in receipt of a copy. Wording of the proposed resolution was discussed, and changes were sug- gested. The President noted that he was satisfied with the proposed resolution as drafted; Mr. Seymour indicated he would be satisfied with the resolution as prepared. Director Sutton moved that the draft resolution be referred back to Counsel and Manager for rewording to allow the addition of duties delegated by the Clerk to the Deputy Clerk. The Board clarified for Mr. Grumer that an inference not be made that the Deputy Clerk function only as a Deputy Clerk. Director Sutton, answering for the Board, noted that items such as keeping a .record of proceedings, maintaining correspondence files, maintain- ing docket files, maintaining minute files, etc. be specifically listed; also, that the Deputy Clerk is under the supervision of the Clerk. Director Hatch seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO. MOVED. POSSIBLE RATIFICATION OF UNION WAGE NEGOTIATIONS The President tabled this matter until after Executive Session. f APPROVAL OF WORK ORDER FROM R. W. BECK ON TAHOE DONNER ELECTRICAL PLAN CHECK This item was tabled as the work order has not been received from R. W. Beck and Associates. APPLICATIONS TO STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH TO AMEND OPERATING PERMIT TO INCLUDE SANDERS WELL & SOUTH SIDE WELL # 2; CONSIDERATION OF RELATED RESO- LUTIONS The District Engineer advised that the District proposes to test and put on-line both wells this winter. In order to do so, and in compliance with the District operating permit, the permit requires amendment. Also, a desig- nated representative must be authorized to apply for the amendment. Also, a designated representative must be authorized to apply for the amendment. He presented the proposed resolutions and applications. Director Sutton commented regarding an amendment to the operating permit for the Sanders Well prior to acceptance of that well by the District; she stated she did not feel the District should request amendment until after ac- ceptance. Mr. Cook noted that the only way the Well can be rated is to op- erate it; the only way the District can operate the Well is to tie it to the system or discharge to the atmosphere. It must be connected to the system, Mr. Cook stated, in order to conduct the on-going -testing for inclusion. Dis- cussion relating to rating ensued. Relating to South Side Well , Mr. Cook noted that the District should request that the well be added to the operating permit. 350 GPM would be added to the system by virtue of the 77-1 project. As soon as power is delivered and approval is granted by the Health Department the well may be tested. Mr. Cook advised that the District should not use either well until they appear on the permit. Director Huber moved that the Board adopt Resolution No. 7866 concerning the inclusion of the Sanders Well in the water sources and supply of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District. Director Kuttel seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton,. no; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. 12/18/78 pg. 5 Director Sutton requested that the record show she is opposed to the Sanders Well being utilized by the District until such time as it has been accepted. Director Huber moved that the Board adopt Resolution No. 7867 concern- ing the addition of the South Side No. 2 Well to the water sources and supply of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District. The motion was seconded by Director Kuttel . ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. DISCUSSION AND DECISION RE FIRST BOARD MEETING DATE IN JANUARY OF 1979 The President noted he had placed this matter on the agenda because New Year's Day is Monday (the regular Board Meeting day) - a District ordinance specifies that the meeting should be held the day following if the regular day falls on a holiday; a possible conflict with the meeting date of the Truckee Sanitary District, for whom Mr. Cook is also Engineer, was mentioned. The President further advised that the TSD has changed their meeting date to January 9th; since no conflict will exist, the TDPUD Board will meet on Tuesday, January 2, 1979. MISCELLANEOUS INQUIRIES Director Sutton stated that she is concerned about the elimination of "Miscellaneous Inquiries" under Old and New Business from the agenda, also the elimination of a separate item whereunder Planning Department Notices may be discussed. She stated she thought "Miscellaneous Inquiries" was specified as an agenda item in the Bylaws. After discussion relating to wasted time at Board Meetings, President Maass stated he would place "Miscellaneous Inquiries" at the end of each agenda; Director Sutton voiced her satisfaction with this decision. Mr. Grumer noted he had checked the Bylaws and found Director Sut- ton to be correct in her belief that Miscellaneous Inquiries must be included on agendas. The other Directors were in consensus with President Maass' decision. --- Director Sutton noted that she would like the item entitled "Planning Department- Notices" to appear on the agendas. However, no Notices having been received since the last Board Meeting, discussion at this meeting was not nec- essary. Director Sutton said she thought the Board should authorize the consult- ing firm that they spoke with a few weeks ago to handle a certain item of business; she felt it should be by public motion. The President noted the matter would come up after Executive Session. Director Sutton requested that the Board be provided with copies of the final resolution on interim procedures for termination of employees - also a copy of the District proposal to the employees (re wage negotiations) - fur- ther, a copy of the notice to Jane Reed re the hearing. Mr. Seymour advised that no notice has been forwarded to Ms. Reed. Regarding the West River Street Assessment District memo from Mrs. Chap- man, Director Sutton stated she believed the Board should receive some in- formation going back to 1975. Mr. Seymour stated that, if the Board wants to make a motion to do this, he will do it; but, he noted, it will disrupt the Bookkeeping Department considerably. He invited the Directors to review the files. Director Sutton said she would do the work and provide the Board and Mr. Seymour with copies, but she did not feel that was the proper procedure. She made it clear that she was not accusing anyone of any malappropriation of money. Director Sutton stated that, relating to the West River Street Assess- ment District, she thought it was the Chair's direction that the Bookkeeping Department provide a report back to "year one." The Standby Exempt ions, •D i rector Sutton stated, should be discussed in Public Session rather than during Executive Session. The President advised that the item had been inadvertently omitted from the agenda; when discovered, the secretary placed the matter at the end of the agenda. It was not intended to be placed after Executive Session. Director Sutton moved that each of the Board Members contribute $25 towards the luncheon on Tuesday, December 19th for the employees. Director Huber sec- onded the motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye 12/18/78 pg. 6 i Maass , aye. SO MOVED. Director Kuttel noted he had spoken with the Bookkeeper regarding the West River Street Assessment District; he discovered it was almost impossible to determine from the County who had paid what; he wanted nothing further to do with investigating the records relating to this matter and noted his sat- isfaction with the report as prepared. DISTRICT ENG I.NEER 'S REFORT Placer County Sery i ce Area annexat i on - At the I as meet i ng, Mr. Cook adv i sed, the Board was told the tabulation had been made and brought current; however, • recommendations. Debi Baker, a visual display was needed in order to make any the Work Order Clerk, prepared visual displays which Mr. Cook reviewed with the Board. He requested that the Board authorize an additional mailing to all those that did not respond to the first letter, and that questions asked as a result of the first mailing be answered. He stated the District did not have enough favorable responses, in his judgment, to proceed; he thought ad- ditional contact shoul6 be made. He noted that the County assessment records are not up to date; Mrs. Baker is doing additional research to determine the current owners. Director Sutton moved that the Board authorize an additional mailing to those persons not responding to the first letter regarding annexation. Direc- tor Huber seconded the motion and requested that the motion be amended to in- clude direction for an investigation of the correctness of addresses to which first letters were rn(-3 i l ed and no responses were received. Mr. Cook advised that this investigation has already been accomplished. It was decided that only one additional mailing will be made. Director Sutton inquired about whether the Board felt a Public Hearing regarding this annexation would gen- erate a more aff i rmat iWe response. The President stated he felt it might generate a negative response from the public. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. Near term source requirement, Southside Subservice Area - Mr. Cook noted that, at -the October 16th meeting, the Board authorized an engineering investigation +_ and report into the near term source requirement for the Southside Subservice arE:a. He reviewed h i s report, which set forth the findings, with the Directors. He noted the iol lowi ng: 1 . touring the last two years, the number of active connections to the water system has increased from 166 to 466 connections. 2. The South Side Booster- could not keep up with the summer demand of 1978; it will fall further behind during the summer of 1979• 3. The Ponderosa Palisades Booster met the '1978 needs, but will fall short of the 1980 Flow requirements. 4. The Evergreen Loop will take care of the system consumptive loads; however, the line between the loop and the tank will be insufficient to handle the needs in 1985 without any of the other proposed projects. 5. The total source available will meet the peak day demands until 1982. Additional sources are needed after 1982 if peak day demands are to be met from the source. The pending developments (under consideration by the Nevada County Planning Department) will have the following effect on District facilities in Mr. Cook's judgemnt: a) The South Side Booster will have to be refitted in 1979 (This should be done regardless of the new development.) b) The Ponderosa Palisades Booster will have to be refitted in 1979. c) The Sierra r`1ec=idows Tank inlet-outlet piping - work has excel 1 era ted f rorn 1985 to 1981 . d) Add i I:i ona i Sou rce Requ i rements that wou,I d have been mandatory i n 1 082 wi l 1 , i n h i s J udgment , become mandatory i n 1980. T 1 Mr. Cook recommended the following for consideration by the Board: a) That processes necessary to develop additional water sources at the eastern limit of the existing water system be set in motion. b) Set in motion, the processes necessary to revise upward the facility fee and the connection fee to an amount that will assure a pay-as--you-go finan- cial plan. c) Set in motion the processes necessary to obtain various federal grants to offset the cost of the recommended facilities. .y d) Consider approval of projects now before the Nevada County Planning Department only with a covenant similar to the "Craig McFarland Agreement" 1 (a condition applied to proposed development that was precedent to the 76 report wherein he agreed, if a will-serve. letter of any nature was to IDe pro- vided, he would comply with whatever the recommendations were in terms of connection fees, facility fees , and other appropriate charges, that would come from the report. ) e) Authorize the design of facilities to alleviate the approaching sys- tem's short falls. M r. Cook's report included a narrative which explained why the recom- miendations were mandatory in his opinion. A copy of that report has been attached to these mi n��tes . -rhe District Engineer mentioned the Martis Valley General Plan which is under proposed revision. Mr. Albert, the planning consultant writing the EIR, is addressing projects that are not within the 13 covered by Mr. Cook in his report. Director Hatch moved that the Water Committee meet and itemize things that need to be done. Relating to i=mHA loans and grants, Mr. Seymour advised that interpretations from Bond Counsel would be required as to hoer projects should be financed. Director Huber seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. Referral by Staff/Engineer/Committee of significant Planning Department Notices Mr. Cook noted that there was a Notice concerning the Mueller project. He further noted that Mr. Seymour had written a letter to Mr. Mueller; he wondered i f a cony of the letter should be forwarded to the Planning Depart- ment. The County is requesting input prior to December 26th. Mr. Seymour wi l 1 for�,iard a copy of the Mueller letter to the County. Regarding the proposed Safeway Store, Mr. Cook noted he had written to the District; some of the Directors were not in receipt of a copy of such let- ter . He mentioned a potential problem, which was alluded to in the letter - whether or not a sprinkler system is to be installed. Director Huber asked that Mr. Cook and Mr. Seymour verify whether or not correspondence has been forwarded to the Coun try. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION RELATING TO MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION TO JOIN UNDERGROUND SERVICE ALERT The President moved back to this item - it was inadvertently overlooked previously. Mr. Seymour- reported that, after talking with employees, he did not see an imii-ied ate urgE:ncy to join Underground Service Alert. Director Huber agreed with him. 'The President tabled the item indefinitely. DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL HYDROELECTRIC PROJECTS In response to Director Huber' s letter, Mr. Seymour advised that he had received a call f rorn Mr. Merriman (R. W. Beck & Associates) . Beck representa- tives will be attending a meeting the first week of January in Idaho Falls given by the Department. of Energy., Stampede Dam will be discussed at that meeting. Mr. Merriman asked if R. W. Beck could present their report on development of small hydroelectric projects at the second regular Board meet- ing in January. 12/180/78 f;(). 8 Iql Mr. Seymour noted that he was greatly impressed by the Tudor Engineer- ing presentation on this same subject. DISTRICT COUNSEL'S REPORT Management Leave of Absence Policy - Mr. Grumer explained why this item has not reappeared on the agenda. He noted there was a significant concern on the part of Union representatives when the meet-and-confer with the Union was held with respect to who is being classified as managerial . He has been in contact with the Union and also has resolved the problems with Marron's firm. After changes are made, he will present the draft resolution to Director Sutton; after review by Director Sutton the secretary will be requested to place the item on the agenda. RESOLUTION EXEMPTING CERTAIN PARCELS OF LAND WITHIN THE DISTRICT FROM ELECTRIC AND/OR WATER STANDBY CHARGES The President noted that this item was misplaced on the agenda. It was inadvertently left off the agenda; when the error was discovered, prior to mailing and posting the agenda, it was added at the end of the agenda, after the Executive Session item. Mr. Seymour clarified that the exemption would be for a -one year period only. Director Sutton advised that an Ordinance requires the District to hold a Public Hearing on all such appeals before taking action. She further ad- vised that most of those requesting exemption had service prior to a certain date and should have been exempt because of that service. This would be an administrative correction, Mr. Seymour noted; the Board agreed that the Book- keeping Department should take action to correct this error. The President noted a Public Hearing, duly noticed, should be held regarding the remainder seeking exemption (including those parcels in Tahoe Donner) ; the notice should list the names and parcel numbers. It was- decided the Public- Hearing will be held at the second meeting in January. Mr. Seymour summarized the Board direction. - to list those protesting because of a peculiar land situation - a Public Hearing will then be held concerning the applicable parcels. President Maass noted that two ads should be published in the Sierra Sun (on January 5th and 12th) . Director Sutton added that the ad should give the parcel number and -the last known owner. The President indicated the hearing would be held at 7:30 P.M. on January 15th. EXECUTIVE SESSION The President adjourned the meeting to Executive Session at approximately 10:35 P.M. for the purpose of discussing legal and personnel matters. RETURN TO PUBLIC SESSION The meeting. reconvened to Public Session at 11 : 16 P.M. ACTION RESULTING FROM EXECUTIVE SESSION REED VS. TDPUD Director Sutton moved that the Board retain Jim Lloyd of Public Employers Personnel Consultants to represent the District in the hearing for Jane Reed. The motion was seconded by Director Huber. ROLL CALL: Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye; Hatch, aye. SO MOVED. RESOLUTION RATIFYING WAGE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 7624, AND MODIFYING SECRETARIAL CLASSIFICATIONS Mr. Grumer proposed modifications as follows to a draft resolution being considered by the Board: Second paragraph - change from ". . .classification of secretary." to ". . .classification of secretary, a bargaining unit position, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 'A' ; and WHEREAS, t-he District has proposed, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1245, has accepted the job classification of 12/18/78 pq. 9 of Executive Secretary/Administrative Assistant, a non-bargaining unit pos- ition, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 'B' ;" Additions: 2. The Board of Directors hereby approves the bargaining unit class- ification of secretary as itemized in Exhibit "a." 3. The Board of Directors hereby approves the non-bargaining unit position of Execctive Secretary/Administrative Assistant as itemized in Exhibit "B." 4. Those provisions of Resolution No. 7624 which are in conflict are amended by this Resolution. After the signature by the President and attestation by the Clerk, a provision stating approval by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1245, and signature line for execution by an authorized rep- resentative should be added. Director Sutton moved that the Board adopt the resolution ratifying wage negotiations with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, amending Resolution No. 7624, and modifying secretarial classifications. Director Hatch seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Hatch, aye; Huber, aye; Kuttel , aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Board, Director Kuttel moved that the meeting be adjourned. MISCELLANEOUS INQUIRY Mr. Seymour advised that, in his opinion, the District was in need of a new snow mobile. It was his recommendation that the Board authorize the purchase of a new vehicle costing approximately $2,000 ( in addition to one - presently owned but in poor repair) . He further recommended that informal quotes be obtained; he advised that immediate delivery is possible. Director Sutton. moved that the Manager be authorized to proceed to obtain quotes on a larger snow mobile from at least three sources and thereafter proceed to purchase a vehicle. Director Hatch seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Huber, abstain; Kuttel -(it was not clear on the tape whether Director Kuttel abstained or voted aye) ; Hatch, aye; Sutton, aye; Maass, aye. SO MOVED. Upon request made by Director Sutton, Direc- tor Huber stated that she abstained because she hates snow mobiles. CORRESPONDENCE Regarding the correspondence from Tudor Engineering pertaining to the development of small hydroelectric projects, Director Sutton asked if this matter would be placed on the agenda in January. Mr. Seymour advised her that it would. The President advised of Mr. Merriman's request to also provide a pre- sentation on hydroelectric projects. Director Sutton advised that information was received from Ron Richard- son about the need to review the employee retirement plan - he had asked to be on the agenda in either December or January. She requested the matter be placed on the agenda for the second meeting in January. ADJOURNMENT Director Huber moved that the meeting be adjourned. All Directors were in agreement. The meeting was adjourned at 11 :28 P.M. TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT By es A. Maass, President Susan M. Craig, Execu ive Secr ry TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT POST OFFICE BOX 309 TRUCKEE, CALIFORNIA 95734 TELEPHONE 587-3896 MANAGER'S REPORT ` December 18, 1978 1 . General Status of- District As reported at the last meeting, the Prosser Heights water system repairs are under way; by the time of the Board Meeting, Prosser Heights tank and pump will have a new automatic control system. It will take about six additional weeks to extend an alarm from the Prosser Heights system to the alarm board at the District office. This is because of the equipment delivery schedule. 2. Report on meeting with Sierra Pacific Power Co. Director Huber and I met with members of the engineering staff of Sierra Pacific Power and Ken Merriman of R. W. Beck regarding the potential new substation. The meeting proved to be very fruitful , with the agreement that the District and Sierra Pacific would look for the location of a joint site for the possible construction of a 120 kV substation that would ulti- mately be used by Sierra Pacific for their proposed line between Truckee and Kings Beach. By such a joint venture, the District could also locate its new substation at the same location and extract power from Sierra Pacific' s 120 kV line rather than their 60 kV system. It was quite apparent at the meeting that Sierra Pacific's 60 kV system is very heavily loaded and refief is necessary in the near future. The particular action proposed for the new PUD substation would help al- leviate Sierra Pacific's load on their 60 kV lines. We anticipate that representatives of Sierra Pacific will be visit- ing the PUD during the week of December 18th to take a preliminary look at potential sites. Also, by that time, Sierra Pacific will have reviewed their plant to determine whether or not the 120kV substation is really feasible. 3. Report on re1mbdrsable bills Mary is gathering bills from various consultants, namely Martin McDonough, Steve Grumer and Bill Nork, to determine if any of these bills can be charged to a third party. I have asked Director Sutton to participate in the review of these bills since her memory of past agreements would be most helpful in determining whether or not certain parts of bills by Grumer, Nor k and McDonough can be properly billed to a third party. 4. Status report on Grover Curtis claim The attached memorandum from Bob Slattery explains further details of what went on with the overflow at Prosser Heights tank. We have received a Manager's Report December 18, 1978 two letters from Mr. Curtis and they have been responded to. No dollar amount of the claim has been forthcoming from Mr. Curtis. Until he claims some spec- ific amount of damage, l i t t l e ;more can be done. G l en' S t i ce of S t i ce and Wells is thoroughly familiar with Mr. Curtis' correspondence and statements. 5 Report on District Parcel "J" Correspondence received from the Truckee Park and Recreation District indicates that their Board of Directors does not wish to enter into a lease agreement with our District regarding parcel J at this time. Even though the lease is essentially free, they feel that the cost of maintenance and of sewer assessments, etc. would exceed their budgetary capabilities. Therefore, they have turned down the offer of the Truckee Donner PUD to lease them parcel J. AMS/smc MEMORANDUM DATE: December 13, 1978 FROM: Bob Slattery SUBJECT: 'rank Overflow, November 22, 1918 On November 27, 1978,� at approximately 0900; I received a telephone call from Mr. ,Grover Curtis who reported damage to his corrals and barn in the P.eos ser Heights Subdivision. He told rm the tank above his property was overflowing and water up to a foot deep was standing or running through his property (horse barn with second story apartment and fenced corral ). He also asked that I meet him at the site and check conditions and site damage.. I told him I would meet him in approximately 1/2 to 3/4 hours. 1imedi ately after the conclusion of the call , "I called Dave Rul ly on the District radio and dispatched him to the Prosser area (pump and tank) to determine and correct the overflow condition. I then gassed my vehicle and proceeded to the site. My first stop was at the well house to check the pump operation. I found it in the off position (not running). I then drove up to the Prosser tank, parked and walked completely around the tank checking • for overflow, height of water in the tank, and ground condition around the tank. A truck (Dave' s) had recently driven around the tank and had stirred tip the mud and broken the ice in the ruts on the West and South sides the North and East -sides were snow covered and normal . There was no new errosion anywhere near the base of the -tank and only the soles of my boots were dampened from standing water. The height of the water in the tank was approximately 23 feet. I then proceeded to the Curtis' property and contacted Mr. Curtis , , whose property is approximately 200' below• and east of the tank and roughly 40' north of the natural drain area. In checking -the barn and corral areas , I found approximate1yy 8-10" of standing water in front of the barn entrance and new water markings (on stall doors) about 6" above the barn floor. At the time of the viewing, there was no standing water in the. barn although the floor was visibly wet. I also noticed that Mr. Curtis had dug a substantial drainage ditch from the barn door to the west •side of the building to drain the area of standing and flowing water. I presumed this was to drain water from the barn. At this time, Mr. Curtis_ informed me that he had some themi cal-type insulation stored i_n stalls and feared , possible damage. .+,w♦.►Yi'I./V1.1/I�.�MM'V'.I.Yi .Nti•h.► •����C.••+..+•••y.'.,,•...ww.r.r.....+«••..w.sv..r..._......_._......-.......__.. �.._�.....�.. __--_- wow.....�� �� PAGE 2 Tank Overflow, November 22, 1978 I then walked the hill area between the barn and the tank to deter- mine why water was still flowing through the corral area. 1 estimated there to be 15--20 g.p.m. ', and steady. Water was commi ng out of the ground in several places. With the upper- part of the hill dry and.- the draining condition at the base of the hi 1 i , I thought we might possibly have: a water leak in adjacent pipelines. I returned to:the office,� had lunch , and dispatched Dave Rul ly back ,�-- to check for possible leaks. At about 1330, 1 returned to the site to check wifth Dave on his determination of the heavy runoff. Vie discussed (-ind discarded the leak possibility and agreed that the run- off was residual from the tank overflow. Mr. CL,)-tis had asked for the name of our insurance carrier and I informed him of the normal proceedures for filing an insurance claim. I also suggested that he contact Mr. Milt Seymour to see if it was possible to expedite the matter. The extent of the damage was not determined, as it was confined to Borne unopened bags of insulation. Robert E.

This assessment is based upon statements in the draft EIR that indicate that the use of the subdivision wi l 1 vary widely with recreational seasons. The negative 'Impact comes fron the adverse effect upon our peak loads for both the water- and electric systems. In general , the use of water and electricity in the Truckee area is highly seasonal because of the nature of the weather and our major industry, tourism. Peak loads on our water system occur in the summer, while peak loads on our electrical system oc- cur during the winter months. In either case, we must have capacity to serve our peak loads as-well as our average loads, 1n the case of our water system, increasing peak loads increases our requirements for source and storage. At the present time;, we are dangerously close to the limits of our capability i n serving loads i'n the Martis Valley area. The cost f �f of increasing our capacity to serge mush be borne 'by new users who come , on stream„ It must not be borne by those who have paid their share in the past. As for our electric system,, we, as wholesale customers of Sierra Pac- ific Power, are severely penalized for demand peaks. A current rate filing by Sierra Pacific with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission wi-11 almost double the penalty for high peak loads on our electric system. While we have little control of how our customers use electricity or when they use it, we must and will impose suitable penalties for loads whose character- istics enhance system load peaks. Additionally, at the present time the District does not have adequate fire flow in that particular part of the Martis Valley. Substantial changes to our distribution system are requ i red "to, `obtain, fire flow in excess of F a� 49 Tom PariIlo NEVADA COUNTY PLAITING DEPARTMENT November 30, 1978 Page 1 ,000 gallons per minute. The cost of such changes must be borne, for the most party by developments such as Martis Valley Meadows. A more specific discussion of water delivery problems in the Martis •-.

The physical distribution .system connecting the Southside Complexes to the distribution system consist of 6" and 8" . diameter mains that are properly looped with the exception of the major. Sierra Meadows Tank Inlet.-Outlet main which is a single 3" line in Ponderosa Drive and cross country to the tank. The District h.as ..previously authorized the preparation of Plans and specificationc..; for the Evergreen Court Loop that will complete the grad design for all of the Southside distribution system complex. The flew requirements and system -limitations are currently controlled by the fire flow ordinances as prescribed by the Truckee Fire Protection District. .The Water Distribution System is currently adequate for consumptive purposes , however, there are certain limitations to the existing sys tern as it relates to high density development and the fire pro tec Lion requirement that is associated therewith. Paralleling the cross country line to the Sierra Meadows Tank will be required. by :1_985 to reduce peak hour law pressures that will result: in customer complaints . The cost of providing the parallel line (leased on 1985 dollar values) is $42,000 or approximately $7 5 per connection to the Southside Complex between now and the date of construction. All water served in the southeast subs ervice area is lifted from. Zone I to Zone II by means of the duplex booster fronting Highway 267 at the Southside Complex. The booster has a single pump delivery rate of approximately 200 GPM. When both pumps are running the rate is increased to approximately 270 GPM The station is designed for single pump delivery and a bach;.-up unit, however during the -past two summers both pumps have been required to rneet the high consumptive loads of the service area. The Engineer's Report of September. 5, 1978 discussed the problems experienced this stunmer in that the existing booster could not maint,ain the Sierra Meadows tank level. As you read this , there are 67 homes approaching completion that must be s en7ed by the booster next year that were not on the system this sunimer. I project the demand during the summer of 1979 will be 470 GYM or a short-fall, of some 290,000 gallons per day. Water conservation will be required to prevent consuming the water_ stored for fire protec tiorl, The refitting of the Southside Booster is among the projects for which you authorized preliminary engineering dur ..ng your November 6 , 1978 meeting. The preliminary cost estimate is set at $20,000. The cost of refitting must ` come from fees can hand due to the immediate need. Replacement fees should 'be approximately $20 per future connection. is t r Board of Direc t.or.s r-;'n,, Truckee Cal*' f* November 201 1978 Page 5. The r-E:fi.tting of the Southside Booster is an immediate requirement, The Ponderesa Palisades Area is in Zane III and therefore requires an acj.d.icional booster which has a capacity of 140 GPM, The stunmer of 1978 peak day demand is estimated to have been 120 GPM and there are 20 homes nearing completion within the service area Therefore, in the summer of 1979 the flows will m,-3.tch the capacity of the: Booster Station. The refitting of the Ponderosa Palisades Booster is estimated to cost $4,,000 and the project is included in the proposed 1979 improvements Current Water Source Avai.Iabi.lity From the Southside Complex Source Yield Southside Well No. 1 1.90 GPM Southside Well.

GPM A quick review of the wa-ter requirements and water source availability tabulations above -reveal the additional source that will be required during the summer of 1980. Further, you must note that the water requirements are bdsed on people 'load and presupposes that the re,,ional park`s .1.00 GPM average demand for the 24 hours, is precluded on peak weelkends . :Further, the spring flow to the golf course must be terminated and. that water provided for consumption. Water fron Ton .ni Springs and the Donner Creek Well. can be diverted to the Southside Booster in amounts up to 370 GPM however the head loss across the river will reduce the Southside Booster yield to something in the order of 150 GPM with both ptunps running. Therefore, the 4" river crossing restricts the transfer of available water on the North Side to the deficient South Side.

Milt: I received in Saturday's mail the Nevada County Planning Commission request for information concerning the proposed Martis Valley Subdivision,, consisting of 100 lots with 35 foot frontage and 0 size yard setbacks . I did not receive the site plan, however, looking at the Assessor's Parcel 19-440-09 I- find that we do not have adequate water_ supply in the area to handle such a development. The requirements for fire flow in the development such as this are extremely high. The merits of .row housing notwithstanding, the fire, flow requirements are substantially higher than those of the typical residential area. The 6" water main spoken to in the questionnaire: i.s completely inadequate and inappropriate, in my view, for the project as proposed. The project is within the Sierra Meadows subservice area and is therefore, provided static pressure and fire flow from the Sierra Meadows tank., The Sierra Meadows tank is quite remote from the project location and. therefore would require major_ line size reinforcement in order to provide even marginal fire flow capability for the subject project site.

The District does not oppose the project as such, however, without properly addressing the concerns listed_ herein, we feel that the project would be- detrimental to the overall.

The Impact Report does not address several key concerns of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District, _,.. and it is hopeful that these comments will assist you in addressing those' concerns and inc orporat ing' the results thereof in the final . impact statement for the project. The Environmental. Impact Report suggests that adequate storm drainage and run-off from the site can "be accomplished by diverting the flow through an irrigation ditch locatod on the southerly portion of the project property. Such diversion will place additional waters on the property of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District as noted in the statement. Such a method of disposing of the surface runoff of the property line south of the project area is illegal and unacceptable to the Truckee Donner Public Utility District. The irrigation ditch usage to divert storm waters is contrary to California Case. Law and even though LIFT.LLOYLI M.COOK Erg, JOE:E* COOK M.F. DAN J.C 00K C.E. s . Thomas Parilo Nevada City, California July 24, 1978 Page 2. the divers ion has occurred in previous years , the quantity of water actually crossing under Palisades Drive is only a fraction of the surf ace water runoff that will occur. when the subject project is completed and the approved project upgra.dient to the south reaches the completed stage. Furthei�rnore, the future runoff as sugges*ted in the Impact Statement will contain gases, oil and other petroleum products , silts , salts and various other contaminants , all of which under the proposal advance in the Impact Statement would be deposited on the property currently utilized by the District as a. major community water supply source; consisting of two wells and a major spring supply. The depositiori of the contaminants listed it. unacceptable to the Dis tri.ct and the District's fiduciary public health responsibilities, An alternative method of providing the storm water runoff from the subject property and the approved project to the south, would be to allow the waters to follow their natural course northerly to the Truckee River and not 'be diverted by the irrigation ditch. The Environmental Impact Statement suggests the use of a subsurface :Leach field to disposal. of the groundwater apparently surfacing in the project area.. No specific design details or narratives of the design concept are provided in the Impact Statement. Lacking a design concept narrative and/or details , it is difficult to pass judgment on such a system. However, on the face of the descriptive material contained in the Impact Statement, i t would appear that the system described would be non-functional. A concept of groundwater removal in a subsurface leach field is difficult for me to comprehend. The 'statement, in my judgment, should adequately describe the system to assure its performance during the needed wet period of the year. The discharge of the subsurface system utilized to drain off the upper groun.dwaters from the project area onto the property of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District would be inappropriate, illegal and unjustified. Any such subsurface water drained from the property- must not be deposited on the southside complex, which provide a major portion of the comm.unit"s probable water supply. The Statement, while making .reference to the need for additional areas that should. be provided for snow removal, does not indicate w r , Thomas Parilo Nevada City, California July 24•, 1978 Page 3. where those areas are to be located and/or the magnitude of the area in* question. The District acknowledges the need for ' additional snow storage area, however, the drainage ,from the snow melt must also be addressed and must not be diverted onto the District's Southside water supply complex. Lastly, the Environmental Impact Statement speaks to the need of two fire hydrants within the project area. The District concurs with the Statement, however, the Statement does not embody the earlier correspondence to the Planning Department from the Truckee Donner Public Utility District requiring the installation of a 12" diameter main westerly from Palisades Drive to the west boundary of the property. The two interior fire hydrants by implication must be tied to the 12" diameter main by means of the 8" loop through the property as required by the District in earlier correspondence with the Planning Department. Should you have any questions concerning these required inclusions in the. Final. Environmental Impact Statement, please do not hesitate to call either myself or Mr. Milton Seymour, General Manager of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District.
