Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: February 23, 2005
Subject: Appointing NCPA commissioner and Alternate
Why this matter is before the board: This matter involves appointing a member
of the board to represent our District on the NCPA Commission and to appoint an
alternate NCPA commissioner.
History: Steve Hollabaugh described our involvement in NCPA at the board
workshop meeting two weeks ago. NCPA is an important partner of ours in our
management of wholesale power supply and costs. For many years, Jim Maass
was the NCPA commissioner from Truckee. With Jim leaving our board, we
need to appoint a new NCPA commissioner. Director Taylor has attended the
NCPA annual strategic plan meeting and is willing to accept appointment as
NCPA commissioner.
Historically, the other directors of TDPUD have been nominally identified as
alternate commissioners, along with the general manager. Steve Hollabaugh is
the District's power supply engineer. He has been attending NCPA meetings
each month for the past few years. He is completely informed about NCPA
programs and issues. He has worked closely with Jim Maass during the past few
years on NCPA matters. I believe he is the best person to serve as alternate
commissioner.
It would be most difficult for any other director or for me to serve as alternate
commissioner. It requires a person who is following NCPA issues to attend an
NCPA commission meeting, and participate in the discussion and vote.
Recommendation: I recommend that the board designate Director Tim Taylor as
NCPA commissioner and Steve Hollabaugh as alternate commissioner.
