REPORT
The Chairman asked the other boards who have quorums present to call to order. He asked all
those present to introduce themselves; a sign-up sheet was passed around and some ground rules
for conduct of the meeting were suggested. He stated his intention to give everyone a chance to
speak and asked people to keep to the issues at hand and try to limit comments to five minutes.
He said the goal of the meeting is to try to reach consensus on a position the special districts can
take regarding a study of governmental efficiency and effectiveness in Truckee.
Comments were made by those seated around the table and by the public attending the meeting.
There was general consensus that this is not an appropriate time to study consolidation of the
special districts, that the Town is too new an institution in Truckee and needs to deal with several
difficult matters already on its agenda, that the incorporation organizers had specifically excluded
special district consolidation from the incorporation vote because it is recognized that the special
districts are doing a good job.
A draft position paper was distributed for discussion by the various special district directors. After
some discussion the TDPUD Board moved, seconded and voted to adopt the draft position paper.
