Patricia S.Sutton
General Manager
September 25, 1995 Peter L. Holzmeister
At a publically noticed meeting of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District Water
Committee-conducted on September-14, 1995,,Director Pat Sutton statedthat she did not
trust the District's General Manager in the performance of his duties and suggested that the
Board spends all of its time solving problems caused by District staff and cleaning up
mistakes of the General Manager. As a result and at the request of the General Manager,
the Board conducted a special meeting to evaluate his performance. His request was
prompted in part by his concern that the statements made by Director Sutton undermined
his ability to manage the District and District staff.
The Board met on September 25, 1995 and reviewed the General Manager's
performance. The Board members present unanimously determined that, as individual
Board members and as a Board as a whole, they do not agree with Director Sutton's
• statements. The Board majority determined that there are no performance deficiencies of
the General Manager and that the General Manager has the full confidence of the Board
majority. The Board does not find the General Manager untrustworthy as stated by
Director Sutton and does not spend its time cleaning up mistakes of the General Manager
as suggested by Director Sutton. Also, Director Sutton's suggestion that the Board spends
all of its time solving problems caused by District staff is not true.
Individual Board members are not authorized to speak or act on behalf of the Board,
unless specifically authorized to do so by statute or at the direction of the majority of the
Board. The thoughts and opinions expressed by Director Sutton are not the thoughts or
opinions of the Board majority and were not authorized or directed by the majority of the
Board.
The Board majority finds Director Sutton's comments inappropriate and
unacceptable.
