Craig, Deputy District rk smc STAFF REPORT June 17, 1996 TO: Board of Directors FROM. Peter L. Holzmeister, General Manager SUBJECT. May staff report AGENDA # 11 1. Water Superintendent and water crew issues: With the departure of Dave Rully, I am now filling in temporarily as the Water Superintendent. I have been meeting with the water crew members to make modifications in the organization of the work. I think we will be able to do some tasks better than in the past. The crew appears to be motivated to change some of their work methods. 2. Timber harvest at McGlashan Springs property: We are moving along in our plans to harvest • timber from the McGlashan property. You will see a notice in the Sierra Sun soon advertising for bids for cutting trees and letting the public know of our timber harvest plans. 3. Truckee River Operating Agreement: Pat Sutton and I continue to participate in the TROA process. Pat serves on a committee dealing with recreation and environmental issues and I serve on the well standards committee. Progress is slow. 4. Water system debt refinancing: You will recall that the Board retained Raucher Pierce Refsnes to help refinance our water system 1991 debt. In recent weeks, changes in the bond market have resulted in the refinancing being unfeasible. Work has been halted until the bond market improves. We have incurred no costs other than the time staff has spent to work with Virginia Horler and David Casnocha to prepare documents and that work will be useful when interest rates come down and we are able to proceed. 5. SPPCo/WWP merger: Steve Hollabaugh and I continue to work with Bob McDiarmid and Lisa Dowden in the SPPCo/WWP merger. The merging company is making settlement proposals which we are evaluating with the help of our consultant, Whit Russell. 6. NCPA strategic plan committee: I continue to participate on the NCPA strategic plan committee. The committee will complete its work in August and make a presentation to the NCPA commission. PLHJsmc TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT . PLANNING DIRECTOR ACTIVITIES MAY, 1996 Note: Since most of these projects are ongoing, Staff continues to report the basic information and highlights the activities that have occurred during the reporting month. When a project or activity is completed it is reported, then deleted from this report. Strategic Planning/District $Savings Business Customer Communications- Staff is developing a Key Account Management Program proposal designed to foster a positive, open line of communication with our largest customers and determine how they feel about TDPUD's service and how they see working with TDPUD in the future. After completion and approval of the proposal, discussions with our largest customers will take place, planned for Spring and Summer. TDPUD Competition Plan- Staff is planning to prepare a report about the different utility issues we are currently being challenged by. The report will include a discussion of the different approaches TDPUD can take to meet these challenges as well as an analysis and recommendations to respond to competition. This comprehensive report is being postponed until the evaluation results of the GSHP pilot, the large Business Customer meetings and other competition related projects and issues are available. • Energy/Water Showcase Program- HDR Engineering, Inc. has prepared and submitted a report to TDPUD Staff that identifies cost-saving energy-efficiency water system improvement options available to TDPUD. TDPUD Staff and Sauer's Engineering is in the process of reviewing this document and will decide which options may be worth implementing based on their cost-effectiveness to the District. Conservation/DSM/Economic Development Ground Source Heat Pump Pilot Site Activity- Nine GSHP pilot site units are currently in operation. A tenth site is being planned for completion in June in Glenshire. This will culminate the pilot site installations. GSHP Pilot Project Funding Assistance- Davis Energy Group was selected to conduct the GSHP pilot research expected to begin by July, 1996. Staff participated in a kick-off meeting with DEG May 23. DEG met with TDPUD staff May 29 in Truckee to visit each site to be monitored to develop a monitoring plan. The grant- funded research activities including the findings will be completed by April of 1997. CA GEO-Heat Pump Show- TDPUD and Sierra-Pacific Power Company Staff are currently discussing the idea of having a California Ground Source Heat Pump Show in Truckee to educate consumers and building professionals on the technology. The Show would be similar to the Home and Building Show in size and the target . audience. GSHP manufacturers, dealers, contractors, energy agencies, regulatory agencies, electric utilities, ect. would be invited to be exhibitors. GSHP Bulk Installation Program- 1 am currently in the process of setting up a bulk • installation program for homeowners interested in installing ground source heat pumps at a reduced cost. I will be looking for between 15 and 25 homeowners interested in installing GSHPs this Fall or next Spring. The program will reduce costs in every aspect of the program which includes: GeneraVHVAC contractor fees, GSHP unit costs and installation, drilling and excavation costs for installing the ground heat exchanger, tie-in costs between the loop field and the heat pump unit, tie-in costs between the heat pumps and water heaters, ducting costs if needed, electrical work if needed, and electric water heaters. I currently have access to 18 Addison GSHP units at a very reduced price. I estimate that we can reduce costs for the consumer through this program between 25-50%, making GSHPs even more competitive. CFIA Demonstration Project- Staff has been in contact with Professor Samuel Sami of Moneton University in Canada regarding his testing of a Combined Cycle Fully Integrated Air/Air Heat Pump(CFIA). Tests so far have shown that it has comparable performance benefits of GSHPs without the cost of a ground loop. Staff has developed a CFIA mini-pilot draft proposal and a draft confidentiality agreement. These documents are currently being reviewed. GSHP/Water Heater Promotion- Staff is working toward getting the Truckee GSHP pilot monitoring program in place so that we will have data available to perform an analysis of the benefits and costs of using GSHPs in Truckee. The results of this . study will be used to determine GSHP's role in TDPUD's Strategic Plan. A draft proposal has been developed to promote the benefits of high efficiency electric water heating to TDPUD customers. Four different electric water heating load retention program options were presented to the Board at the May 15 meeting. Energy Surveys/High Bill Assistance- Staff completed 1 commercial and 3 residential energy survey(s) this month. Staff also responded on-site to 2 "high" bill complaints. Business & Energy Efficiency Partnership- The incorporation of energy and water efficiency measures are expected to be retrofitted into the Chamber building by Summer, 1995. Currently about 75% of these measures are installed. Silvertip and Rare Earth Landscaping contractors are currently implementing the low-water use landscape plan. Staff is currently working on a self-guided tour brochure of energy and water efficiency measures for the Chamber building. An Open House for the new Chamber facility and the Business & Energy Efficiency Partnership is being planned for October 8, 1996. Communications/Public Relations/Education Newsletter- The Summer Current Issues newsletter is currently being planned. Critical Issues Communication- Staff is researching communications consultants in • Northern California to assist TDPUD in areas of critical communications. Truckee Home Show- TDPUD participated in this year's Truckee's Home and Building Show May 25, 26. The Home Show was very successful with about 1,500 persons visiting the Show over the two day period. TDPUD Home Show Staff handed out refrigerator magnets with TDPUD's general information phone number on it. Tone' McQuire, building contractor for the Richardson House, donated some of his time to provide photographs for the Home Show display. Upgrading the TDPUD display is an ongoing process. Community Calendar- TDPUD Staff has met with Tahoe-Truckee USD representatives to discuss the development of a community calendar. School District Staff initiated this concept and will administer the project. There will be an emphasis in the 1996-97 issue on school projects, primarily funded through Bond Measure(s). Community/Statewide Involvement Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee- Working with other businesses in reviewing: the Downtown Specific Plan, an Incubator/Business Park Feasibility Study, ect. Staff attended the May 7 EDC meeting. Tahoe-Forest Hospital Healthly City Committee- Working with other agencies and community groups in the development of a Healthly City Plan for Truckee. The May meeting was cancelled. A survey has been mailed to local organizations to determine what other area groups are working on related to "healthy city" issues. • Town of Truckee Air Quality Management Plan Advisory Committee- Staff is currently working with other interested parties and agency representatives in reviewing a draft report on Truckee's AQMP prepared by the Northern-Sierra AQMD in conjunction with the Town of Truckee. Staff attended the May 14 meeting and was unable to attend the May 28 Advisory Committee meeting. The end result of the Committee's efforts will be to recommend mitigation efforts to reduce PM 10(particulate matter <10 microns) in Truckee. The two main causes of PM 10 in Truckee are road sand dust and burned particulate matter from wood burning. Northern California Power Agency Member Services Task Force- I attended the May 8 NCPA Member Services Task Force meeting in Roseville. California Municipal Utilities Association Committee on Energy Efficiency- Working with other public utilities statewide and a consultant on a Model Energy Services/ Competition Program Guidebook. This document will contain a description of many of the strategies utilities are using to respond to a changing, more competitive electric utility environment. Programs are designed to increase customer satisfaction and result in customer retention. The Guidebook is expected to be completed by June, 1996. NCPA Legislative Forum- Staff participated in the Congressman Wally Herger Forum • held in Redding May 10. Congressman Herger is in support of not selling off the Power Marketing Administrations(i.e. WAPA). . CEC California Ground Source Heat Pump Collaborative- Staff participates in quarterly meetings of the California Energy Commission's GSHP Collaborative. The Collaborative was formed to oversee the development and promotion of the GSHP industry in California. The Geothermal Resources Association out of Davis, CA has applied for about $500,000 of grant assistance to implement a statewide GSHP contractor training program. The GRA has asked TDPUD to participate as a co-applicant for $160,000 from the CEC Geothermal Funding program. TDPUD has agreed to participate as a co-applicant and will receive many benefits for participating including enabling local contractors to receive low-cost GSHP training. The focus of the proposal is to strengthen the infrastructure of the GSHP industry in California by developing GSHP training for HVAC, plumbing, drilling, excavating and other contractors. Utility Energy Forum Planning Committee- Staff assisted other electric utility representatives in the planning of the 15th annual Utility Energy Forum meeting held May 1-3 in Granlibakken, North Lake Tahoe. The theme of the conference was on Partnerships. The Conference speakers included: Staff on TDPUD's partnership programs including the GSHP pilot project; Truckee Chamber Executive Director on the Business and Energy Efficiency Partnership and Truckee economic development; and a TRB Bank representative on working with the local utility(TDPUD) to provide low-interest loans for efficiency projects(i.e. GSHP pilot participants). Employee Safety/Training Safety Committee- The TDPUD Safety Committee met May 30. Wellness Program/Healthy Meals- This continues to be a popular program with TDPUD employees. We had a "healthy" lunch on May 9. Wellness Program/Health Education- Staff has been working with Tahoe-Forest Hospital Staff to develop a fitness "course" in the TDPUD building using mostly existing facilities. Many exercises do not require special equipment- a chair, wall, floor or step may suffice. Fitness Training- Nancy Swayzee, consultant for Tahoe-Forest Hospital, will continue to conduct "fitness" workshops designed to minimize or avoid employee back injuries. Exercise Room- TDPUD Employees now have an exercise room equipped with a stair-stepper, exercise bike, and treadmill. There will be workshops designed to train employees in the proper use of the exercise equipment. The exercise program is designed to increase the health and fitness of employees to reduce lost work time and insurance costs, ect. • Fire Extinguisher Class- Poole will conduct a fire extinguisher workshop for TDPUD employees June 6. TDPUD employees also viewed a videotape from the Truckee Fire Protection District on the proper use of fire extinguishers. STAFF REPORT June 13,'1996 TO: Peter L. Holzmefster, General Manager FROM; Kathy Neus, Support Services Manager SUBJECT: Staff Report for May AGENDA # PURCHASING AND WAREHOUSING 1. Bids for wire, cable and transformers were opened at the end of May and were awarded to the low bidders. Orders have been placed. 2. Material is being ordered with pipe repair clamps of all sizes being the biggest mover. Material has also been delivered to the water crew in the field. • 3. Things are beginning to really pick up in the Electric Department. Several jobs have been staged; also, material was delivered to the alley downtown. 4. There was 7,400 feet of PVC pipe and accessories ordered and delivered to Southwest Gas for the joint trench bridge crossing project. There was also an emergency order for metal conduit sweeps. 5. Specifications on the new knuckle boom truck for the line crew were sent out to vendors in May with the bid opening scheduled for June 14, METER READERS 1. May was the first month that the AMR (automated meter reading) meters were read in Glenshire. One route took about an hour and 15 minutes with the other taking just under two hours. The time to read these books before AMR took two people all day. The time will improve once the reading order has been adjusted. There are two routes at Donner Lake that are slated for meter change-out in June. 2. The Meter Readers were able to help the water crew by flagging(traffic control) on a water leak repair in Prosser Lakeview Estates. 3. There were 9260 meters read, 541 service reports and 180 481hour11013s done for the month of May. • VEHICLE MAINTENANCE 1. Tom finished the specifications for the knuckle boom and checked on the delivery of the pick-ups for Warehousing and for the Water Department. As it turns out, we are not getting a different color truck painted, but two new trucks off the assembly line. They are due at the end of June. 2. There were four BITs, two drive line inspections, 12 service inspections (preventative maintenance) and three monthly aerials performed during the month. BUILDING AND GROUNDS MAINTENANCE 1. There were only two quotes submitted for landscape maintenance. Sierra Landscape and Irrigation provided the low quote and were awarded the job. 2. Scott has acquired exercise equipment for staff use. In order to fit the equipment into the building, Steve Wallace removed the shirt rack in the locker room and built a new one. 3. All filters have been replaced throughout the building and the plan is to have them on a quarterly replacement schedule instead of whenever there is time. Light bulbs have been replaced throughout the building also. 4. 1 have been working with Southwest Gas on converting the building to natural gas. There is a potential problem, that being too small of a gas line going to the boilers. Southwest is looking into the matter. Also, Scott is obtaining a quote for a ground source heat pump system for the building. I have been working with Southwest Gas, participating in Union negotiations and have begun preparing specifications for overlaying the District office yard and parking areas with asphalt. KN/smc i STAFF REPORT June 13, 1996 To: Board of Directors From. Bob Quinn, Electric SupenntendenCJX� Subject. May Activity Report AGENDA ITEM MMMMMJ For the most part, during May, crews of the Electric Department worked on projects that had been budgeted for or related to maintenance or line upgrade. With the exception of a few days, the weather was cooperative and on the days of rain, crews were assigned to system mapping and line patrol. A budgeted project that was completed during the month was the re-conductoring of a section of line on our Tahoe Donner Circuit #3. This project increased the size of wire coming from the substation and will allow us to transfer more load to that circuit should the need arise. Last year we acquired the right to serve our customers that had been being served by Sierra Pacific within our boundaries. The Glenshire area was cut-over to our system last year, hov&-ver, within the central part of Truckee an area near the cemetery required the • construction of additional lines. Our crews and SPPCo completed work in this area and completed the customer transfer agreement between the TDPUD and SPPCo. With the new line acquired from SPPCo crossing 1-80, our old line serving the cemetery and the Cal-Trans lighting was removed. Sha-Neva, now a customer of ours, installed a new purrp house requiring the installation of an underground primary run and a padmount transformer. The pole at the source of this project required re-configuration to acxorrodate the underground riser. Crews began installing facilities for the new hospital office building on Donner Pass Road. This project will be completed during June. A squirrel shorted the primary bushings on the station service transformer in Donner Lake substation that resulted in a short outage in the Donner Lake area. Power was restored and the transfomner replaced. A gate was fabricated and installed across the road leading into the Martis substation. Vandalism to material and equipment prompted the decision to restrict access to the area. In the alley behind commercial row, facilities were installed that will peen-ut undergrounding services to the adjacent buildings. This was necessary as a customer has requested 3 phase . power to his business and we are unable to serve him with existing facilities. Eventually, it would be most desirous to install these same facilities the length of the alley. This is one area we will be evaluating carefully for joint work with SW Gas next year. Jim Wilson continued to provide support to the Water Department at various water facilities. Additionally, the service crew completed 28 overhead service orders, 3 underground service orders, and responded to 231 underground facility locates (USA's). The high volume of USA's is due to SW Gas pipeline installation. Finally, Manny Lopez retired on May 31st. Manny served the District for over 24 years and during the last few years was a lineman on the service crew. Truckee Donner Public Utility District Board of Directors Joseph R.Agues 14 J.

Holzmeister ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: May, 1996 STAFF REPORT Submitted by Mary Chapman, June 14, 1996 r CUSTOMER SERVICE: The customer service staff remains very busy processing service transfers and requests for new services. BILLING: Billing is current. • On May 20, an ORCOM staff member was here to upgrade our Itron software. Everything went very well. It will take a couple of billing cycles before we will be able to tell how much staff time we've saved with the new meter reading system. ACCOUNTING: Accounts payable and payroll are current. We are currently working on the May financial reports. Orcom staff has been here all week upgrading our Work Order software and installing the new Fixed Assets software. The new Work Order software is much improved and will streamline some of our manual processes. The new Fixed Assets system will be used to track the District's distribution and general plant assets. This system will automate our last manual accounting system. While it will take some time to key in all of the assets that we track, we think that it will keep us more current and save a lot of staff time. 0596MOLY.RPT • Post Office Box 309 11570 Donner Pass Road m Truckee, California 96160
