MISSION STATEMENT
The Board of Directors of the District has engaged in strategic planning sessions for the past four years. An important
outcome of that process was agreement on a Mission Statement for the District. The Strategic Plan and Mission
Statement recognize that Truckee Donner PUD is actively involved in three distinct business efforts, and suggests that we
should consider becoming involved in one additional business effort. Our three current business units are:
Water supply and distribution
Electric distribution
Electric power supply(aggregation)
The new business unit suggested for further strategic evaluation is telecommunications.
The Mission Statements for the District as a whole and for the current business units are as follows:
a. The District mission is to be valued by our customers as a local agency with a long term service record,
committed to the well-being of the Truckee community, bringing innovation, competence and trustworthiness in the
delivery of water and electric services.
b. The water business unit mission is to provide moderately priced, high quality potable water, delivered at the
pressure and quantity sufficient to meet the needs of residences and businesses in the Truckee Donner PUD service
territory.
c. The electric distribution business unit mission is to provide low cost and reliable delivery of electric energy,
at voltages sufficient to meet the needs of the residences and businesses in the Truckee Donner PUD service territory.
d. The mission of the electric power supply business unit is to be the aggregator of choice for every residence
and business located in the Truckee Donner PUD service territory, by contracting for delivery of low cost electric energy
and capacity in sufficient quantity to meet the needs of our customers.

BUDGET MESSAGE
With submission of this document we present to the Board of Directors the budget for 2005 for the Truckee Donner Public
Utility District. The complete Budget this year consists of three separate documents, one of which is actually entitled 2005
Budqet. A second document is entitled Five-Year Plan of Capital Expenditures: 2005 Through 2009 and the third
document is entitled Detailed Budget Data for 2005. The Five-Year plan of Capital Expenditures and the Detailed Budget
Expenditures are the first documents to be prepared, and the 2005 Budqet is a summary presentation of the those
documents.
The 2005 Budge t consists of five distinct parts. Part 1 is the plan of operations, maintenance and repair for the electric
system. Part 2 is the plan of operations, maintenance and repair of the water system. Parts 3 and 4 are the capital
budgets for the electric and water systems respectively. Part 5 is a group of appendices that are useful in understanding
the first two parts. The first four parts include a listing of planned expenditures and the sources of funds that will support
those expenditures. The various narratives describe departmental objectives and provide valuable information regarding
the structure of district operations.
For budgetary purposes District operations can be viewed as involving two distinct tasks (1) we serve water and electricity
to approximately 12,000 customers day by day, and (2) we expand our water and electric systems in response to growth
in the community. These two tasks have different funding sources. The day by day provision of water and electric
services is funded by monthly water and electric rates, while expansion of the water and electric systems in response to
growth is funded by developer contributions in the form of direct payments set forth in development agreements, facilities
fees, and connection charges. We have endeavored to carefully retain this funding in the budget. However, more
analysis needs to be done during 2005 to determine if we are adequately identifying and recording operating costs as
separate from growth costs, and if our monthly rates and developer fees are properly established.
During the strategic plan workshop that was conducted prior to preparation of the budget the board and management
recognized the need to further develop the District's organization. We discussed the consistent growth that has occurred
in Truckee for the past twenty years and the need for our organization to keep up with that growth. We discussed the
need to improve levels of service to our customers and the need to respond more quickly to customer needs. We also
recognized that as the organization grows it becomes involved in increasingly complex functions that need to be carefully
2
managed. The middle-management and professional staff of the District is growing. This budget proposes the addition of
a finance professional and a human resources professional.
This budget recommends an electric rate increase of $1.00 per month per customer to be effective on March 1, 2005.
The budget also recommends a water rate increase of$1.73 per month per customer, also to be effective March 1, 2005.
We have much to keep us busy during 2005.

OPERATING, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PLAN
ELECTRIC PORTION

ELECTRIC OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION
The electric budget projects expenditures of $17,471,793 and revenues of $18,062,083 resulting in $590,290 being
available for capital investment. This budget recommends that the customer charge portion of the electric rate be
increased by$1.00, from the current$5.00 per month to $6.00 per month.
Generally speaking, the District electric system is in very good financial health. We solved the wholesale power crisis in
2003 and set the District's finances on an excellent course. When we solved the power supply contract with IdaCorp
Energy we were required borrow $26 million. We adopted a short repayment period to shorten the impact on our rates.
There are only eight years left on the debt. Meanwhile, in 2005 we will begin to receive an allocation of low cost hydro
power from the Western Area Power Administration which will save us conservatively approximately $200,000. Other
than the power supply related debt, the electric fund is virtually debt free. Our goal in preparing annual budgets and
managing electric system operations is to manage the District's finances carefully through the next eight years. At the
end of the eight years, when the power supply debt disappears, we should be in a position to lower rates significantly.
We now turn our attention to growth and development in our service area, and how best to respond organizationally and
financially. Organizationally, the budget for 2005 recommends that we add a human resources manager and an
accounting and finance manager in the administrative services department. These positions are important to developing
the management professionalism of the organization and allowing the administrative services manager to deal with long-
term and big picture issues.
This budget recommends that we replace several vehicles that have reached the end of their useful life. We have been
getting over ten years out of our vehicles, thanks to the skill of our vehicle maintenance staff. However, our productivity
depends on having a fleet of reliable vehicles to move our crews around our service area. It is time to bring new, more
fuel efficient vehicles into our fleet and retire the older vehicles.
We need to set our rates to generate adequate cash reserves within the electric utility. This budget maintains the current
level in the rate stabilization fund.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors consists of five elected members who serve four-year terms. The Board meets twice each month
on the first and third Wednesdays. The first Wednesday is a regular business meeting and the third Wednesday is usually
a workshop meeting.
The basic responsibility of the Board is to represent the owners of the District who are also our customers. The Board
establishes policy and goals for the proper governing of the District and grants authority to staff to perform the day-by-day
tasks necessary to serve customer needs. The Board reviews performance of staff by receiving reports and comparing
performance to goals. The policies adopted by the Board represent the values that the District seeks to achieve in
providing service to its owner/customers.
The Board conducted its annual strategic plan workshop and identified issues for focus during 2005. This process has
brought great clarity to the strategic direction of the District. This year, like last year, we were forced to look at the growth
that has occurred in Truckee for the past several years. The growth rate appears to continue into the foreseeable future
and is having an impact on the District's processes, structure and finances. The budget for 2005 continues to deal with
these issues. The Board will spend considerable time in 2005 discussing these issues.
The Board will look at organizational development issues. Truckee's continued growth requires the District organization to
change. We are adding sophisticated professional staff. Upper management of the District needs to redirect its work
effort to long-term planning and big picture issues. The Board will discuss organizational structure and redefinition of
management tasks. Also, the board will discuss the kinds of issues it should focus on.
The Board will be asked to look at the financing of operations as distinct from the financing of growth in our service
territory. We have a long standing policy that growth pays it way. We have not taken a disciplined look at whether this
policy is being fully implemented and whether the policy is adequately expressed and understood. This is an area for the
board to spend time studying.
The Board has two new directors bringing new ideas to the governance of the District. The board has expressed an
interest in attending workshops sponsored by the Special District Institute and then conducting a workshop in Truckee to
develop the new board team.
8
We cannot ignore our wholesale power supply contract. Looking into the future we realize that Truckee long-term power
supply involves relationships with UAMPS, NCPA, Sierra Pacific Power Company, Western Area Power Administration
and others. We will spend time in 2005 looking at future power supply options to be implemented before the current
contract with Constellation Energy Services expires.
2005 will be a busy year for the Board.

GENERAL MANAGER
The District's general manager and executive secretary staff the department. The general manager is the administrative
head of the District with responsibility for managing the day-by-day affairs of the organization. The executive secretary
assists the general manager in all aspects of his duties, especially in arranging for board meetings and keeping proper
custody of the records of the District. She also provides administrative assistance to other members of the District's
management staff. The executive secretary maintains the District's home page on the Internet, and assists the water and
electric planners in preparation of development agreements.
An important role of the general manager is to help the board deal with the various issues that come before it for action.
The general manager prepares board agendas, and makes certain that matters appearing on the agenda are adequately
researched and presented to the directors in a meaningful way.
During 2005, the general manager will work closely with the Board and staff on the issues identified during the strategic
plan workshop. He will be intimately involved in developing a plan for reorganization of the District's structure. He will
work closely on broadband business implementation, growth and development issues, and development of a corporation
yard. He will work with the board as the new and incumbent directors work toward establishing the new board team.
We have talked a great deal about management structure and management processes. The general manager works
closely with the assistant general manager, the administrative services manager, and the water utility manager. Together
this group forms the upper management of the District. As general manager, I expect to evolve this group into a kind of
management cabinet during 2005. To do so, I need to develop the middle management of the District so the cabinet team
can focus on long-term and big picture issues. A staff workshop will be conducted facilitated by Bob Rauch to inaugurate
this development process.
implementation of the broadband business unit will have a huge impact on the Truckee community and on the District's
organization. The general manager needs to be closely involved in this process.
The District has been changing. It is important to keep open communication with the rank and file employees so that they
remain committed to the District's mission and strategic goals. During 2005, the general manager and the cabinet team
need to spend more time clearly communicating the strategic plan to the District's employees. He needs to work with the
11
Labor/Management Steering Committee to provide the employees with a forum to be involved in District strategic
planning. He also needs to work with the department heads to improve overall communication and supervision practices
at the District. During 2005, a new memorandum of understanding will be negotiated with the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers. The general manager, assistant general manager and human resources manager will be involved in
that process.
The general manager also needs to communicate effectively with the District's customers. He needs to be personally
involved in preparing written descriptions of District programs and goals. He will need to help market broadband services
to residences and commercial customers.
During 2005, the general manager needs to focus attention on strategic issues, especially organizational, finance and
growth issues. It is clear that the continued rapid growth within the District's service area is the critical factor impacting
District productivity and finances. We need to thoughtfully grow the organization to provide excellent customer service
and we need to develop the best mix of revenue sources to support the larger organization.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
The administrative services department is organized into the following functional areas: customer services and collections,
customer billing, meter reading, accounting and finance, data processing, personnel and risk management.
Over the last several years, the department has been modernizing its functions to improve staff efficiency. During 2005,
the department will continue to automate processes where practical to free up personnel time to perform valuable
customer care and accounting functions. We will increase our efforts to archive billing, accounting and customer records
on electronic medium. We will be introducing the electronic billing program to customers early in 2005. We will explore
having NISC, our software vendor, provide additional services. We will also look to change the District's after-hours call
center vendor to one that is well staffed and will integrate customer calls with the District's new outage management
system.
With all of the changes in technology implemented over the last few years to improve department efficiency and customer
programs (customer deposit options, meter reading, billing, payment options and collection procedures), the staff will work
in 2005 to update its customer policies relating to these changes.
In the last few years, the department has changed. The department has taken on new functions and implemented new
technologies and procedures. Job descriptions may no longer properly reflect the work being done. Therefore the jobs in
this department will be evaluated and new job descriptions prepared as needed.
Updates in the District's electric and water master plans, as well as, all of the proposed development in the Truckee
community have identified a substantial need for new electric and water infrastructure to be built and upgraded in the
upcoming years. Because of the significant cost to construct infrastructure, increased purchased power costs and
possible entrance into the telecommunications business, the Board determined that it needed a comprehensive financial
master plan. We will continue to update the financial master plan with financial information as it becomes available.
As the District's staff has continued to grow and the personnel laws have become more complex (HIPPA requirements,
DOT requirements including drug testing, state compensation reform and general reporting requirements), we have
arrived at a point where we need to add a position to manage the human resources functions of the District. As the
accounting rules and requirements have become more complex and the District's accounting activities have become more
14
voluminous, we have arrived at a point where we need to add a position to manage the accounting functions of the
District. This budget includes two new positions, a human resources manager and an accounting and finance manager to
fill those needs. If the District enters the telecommunications business, there will be a need for staff in this department to
market new services to customers.

PLANNING SERVICES
The planning director is responsible for customer communications, energy and water conservation services and
administration of the District's public benefits program.
During 2004, the planning director developed the District's commitment to the green building movement. He has been
active in a local group promoting green building projects in Truckee. It is important for the District to demonstrate its
commitment to conservation by participating in programs such as this. He will continue his involvement in 2005.
The planning director is also managing the District's water conservation program. We need to continue to talk about wise
use of irrigation water.
During the past years, we have conducted a program to clearly brand our District's name and services in the community.
Since 2001, we have been less active because we have been denied access to cable television advertising. In 2005, we
will need to communicate with our customers regarding electric and water rates, Donner Lake water, and broadband
business implementation. The planning director will play a key roll in this activity. We will continue to use the local
newspaper and other local publications to communicate our message to our customers. We will most likely use first class
letters to communicate important messages. We will also continue to support local nonprofit agencies as our way of
showing that we are here to serve the community.
The program message will focus on our community commitment, reliable service, local control, clean water, environmental
concern and customer service. In 2005, we will need to aggressively market our broadband services. The planning
director will work with key account customers to bring telecommunications services to their businesses.
An important focus of the planning director is to position the District prominently in the Truckee community. He will pursue
a program of community involvement and support in 2005. He will continue to involve our District in a wide variety of
community events by means of corporate sponsorships and general support.

SUPPORT SERVICES
The support services department is responsible for vehicle maintenance, purchasing and warehousing, and building and
grounds maintenance. The department staff consists of a support services manager, a buyer, a warehouseman, a
buildings and grounds maintenance technician, and an automotive mechanic (plus a part-time contract mechanic). This
department accomplishes much with a small staff.
The District has made a substantial investment in its fleet of vehicles. We cannot accomplish our mission in the
community unless our fleet of vehicles is mechanically sound. The support services department is responsible for vehicle
maintenance, repair and replacement. The maintenance of our fleet has lengthened its life expectancy. However, our
severe winters and mountainous geography take a toll on vehicles. Appendix X lists all vehicles in our fleet and the
projected year of replacement. This budget recommends replacement of several older vehicles. We find that % ton pick-
ups with gasoline engines are not the best buy for our needs. We recommend moving to % ton diesel pick-ups for the
water and electric crews. We also recommend purchasing hybrid SUV and % ton pick-ups where that kind of vehicle is
appropriate. With the increase in the price of gasoline, diesel and hybrid fuel vehicles will save money.
The department is responsible for the purchase, receipt and proper storage of material used in our water and electric
systems. This function places the support services department in a crucial interface role between the operating
departments and the finance department. The smooth flow of information across this interface is important to managing
the District. The strategic plan identified the need to improve this aspect of management information. The 2005 budget
recommends implementing a warehouse bar-coding system to improve the availability of information. We need to change
the warehouse operation to restore order to the purchasing and accounting for materials. As part of the organizational
restructuring we will evaluate a type of closed warehouse.
We have talked for years about our need for adequate space for storage of material and vehicles. The strategic plan
identified the need to develop a new corporation yard. Our plan is to sell land acquired from the Steele Family Trust and
use the proceeds to design and build a corporation yard. In 2005, we will sell land to complete the planning. We would
like to be in position to build in 2006 and 2007.
19
The support services department is responsible for maintenance of the District's buildings and grounds. As our buildings
expand, this department will need additional resources to do its job and it will need to focus more on a manageable set of
related tasks.
The support services manager will be involved in administering the sale of any District owned land that we decide to sell in
2005. She will also be involved in planning for the corporation yard.

ELECTRIC OPERATIONS
The electric operations department is responsible for operating, maintaining, repairing and expanding our electric
distribution system. The department is currently staffed by a superintendent, two electric system engineers, a planner, an
inspector, two electricians, one electrical technician, one substation lineman, two foreman, one leadman, six journey
linemen and two apprentices. No additional staff is recommended for 2005.
During 2005, we will experience significant growth in our service area. We will work with developers who request service.
This activity dominates the work program of our engineers, planner and the field crews. However, we cannot ignore
routine system maintenance. During 2005, we will refocus the attention of one of our system engineers to system
reliability. We will review the system protection scheme and make adjustments as necessary. The construction crew will
install a new type of fuse and bird guards on the poles in the Prosser Lakeview area to reduce the number of outages
experienced in that area. We will return to a pole replacement program throughout the District to maintain the integrity of
our overhead system. We will continue the tree trimming program that has helped reduce outages during the past two
years. Priority will also be placed on insuring that our system complies with General Orders 95, 128 and 165
requirements.
With the increased engineering staff we will be able to complete the development of construction units thus providing
much needed assistance to the estimating and accounting departments. We will also be able to update our electric
SCADA system.
With the rapid growth of Truckee comes increased load on the electric system. Thus, without implementing electric
system capacity improvements, areas of our electric distribution system may begin to experience problems. The budget
for 2005 recommends implementing several electric master plan projects funded by facilities fees.

POWER SUPPLY
This department is headed by the assistant general manager (who serves as power supply engineer) and also includes
the GIS coordinator and a mapping technician.
The highest priority for this department is to guide the District in acquisition of its wholesale power supply. The power
supply engineer will continue to represent the District at UAMPS and NCPA. He will continue to manage two FERC cases
involving requests by SPPCo for increases to their transmission rate. Also during 2005, we will begin to receive deliveries
of low cost hydro power from the Western Area Power Administration. He will manage the District's contracts with
Constellation Energy and Sierra Pacific Power Company.
The role of the power supply engineer includes optimizing the benefits of the Constellation and Western contracts by
taking advantage of opportunities in the market to buy energy outside the base load contracts.
We need to think beyond the Constellation Energy Services contract. The power supply engineer will represent our
District at the Utah Association of Municipal Power Systems. He will make recommendations to the board regarding
possible participation in generating plants to be constructed by DAMPS.
Our geographic information system coordinator has helped us install a state-of-the-art data management system. This
new system is forming the foundation connecting our water and electric maps, customer service information, modeling
capability, automated design and reporting system. In 2005, we will take this system to the next level by making the
system maps available to the water and electric crews in the field. The budget recommends acquisition of field computers
that can be used by the crews to access up-to-date information and make redline edits to the maps as they perform work
in the field.
During 2005, we will also implement a work management system that creates an interface between the GiS and the NISC
systems. This is a crucial part of the improved management information system that the strategic plan identified as a high
priority.

WATER OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION
The water operations budget projects expenditures for 2005 of $7,188,258 and revenues of $8,009,131 resulting in
$820,873 being available for capital investment. This water operations budget recommends a water rate increase of
$1.73 per month. We have discussed the problem with the declining block commercial water rate. We retained the
services of Reiter Lowry Consultants to conduct a water rate study and recommend a new metered rate structure. We will
need to complete this project early in 2005.
Huge changes are taking place in the water operations. We have rebuilt the Donner Lake water system. We have
received a low interest loan from the California State Revolving Fund. We have completed connection of the Glenshire
water system to the main District water system. The community is coming under increasing development pressure.
Water service is complex in a mountain environment. Our water supply is in the Mattis Valley in the southeast portion of
our service territory. Our customer base is spread over forty-four square miles and covers an elevation change from
5,800 feet to 7,350 feet. We have 11 wells, 200 miles of pipeline, 36 storage tanks, and 26 pump stations. This complex
system is expensive to operate, maintain, repair and replace. Looking out into the future, i can predict that water rates will
increase gradually year by year. However, when one considers the impact of good quality water on one's life, the price is
a bargain.
In the past the water fund has relied on the financial strength of the electric fund to keep it going. During 2003, we
established a Surplus Land Trust Fund to advance money needed for water capital projects. Now, we need to manage
water system capital such that it does not continue to rely on electric system funds to finance its needs. The water fund
needs to stand on its own.
The strategic plan identified five issues that impact the District's water utility:
Replacement of aging water system infrastructure
Development of improved management information
Development of a corporation yard
Sale of District-owned land
Development of the District organizational structure to meet future demands
27
The budget for 2005 recommends that we continue to replace leaking water lines in Tahoe Donner. We need to take a
look at how we conduct pipeline replacement programs with the goal of saving money and easing the burden of managing
contracts. This will be a discussion staff wants to have with the board.
The budget provides funding for development of a new well, rebuilding and expanding the Sierra Meadows pump station
and the Airport well building. The budget provides funds to conduct a pilot study of removal of arsenic from the Northside
well. Additionally, it recommends replacement of aging vehicles with new, fuel efficient models.
As discussed in the electric portion of the budget, continued growth in our service territory consumes much of the
productive capacity of our organization. Growth is occurring so rapidly now that we need to increase the ability of the
organization to function. Therefore, the budget recommends adding a construction inspector position.
We need to complete reconstruction of the Donner Lake water system. We also need to sell real property at Donner Lake
and Glenshire and perform a final accounting of the costs for those two projects so we can true-up the financing.
The 2005 year will be a challenging year for the water utility. We now need to make sure we fully understand the financial
commitments we are making, the revenue sources we are relying on, and the financial position we need to maintain.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The narrative contained in the electric portion of the budget describes the general function and organization of the Board
of Directors. It will not be repeated here. This section will describe specific water issues within the 2005 budget.
The District needs to complete the reconstruction of Donner Lake water system and arrange for permanent financing.
The board will review the status of the project to date and will develop a strategy for completing it. The Glenshire water
system project also needs to be completed by selling the surplus land and performing a final accounting.
The Board will deal with the water rate study being conducted by Reiter Lowry Consultants. We need to restructure the
commercial metered rate which currently has a declining block structure. We will also review a possible residential
metered rate to encourage wise irrigation of landscaping.

GENERAL MANAGER
The basic functions of the General Manager and the organization of that department have been described in the narrative
in the electric portion of the budget. It will not be repeated here.
Specifically related to the water utility, the general manager will be involved in completion of the Donner Lake and
Glenshire water systems projects. Long-term financing and revenues need to be determined for these projects.
Communication with Donner Lake and Glenshire customers during 2005 will be a must.
Water utility financing may be the biggest issue the District needs to face during 2005. We need to review our policy
regarding growth paying its way and then review whether our fees are accomplishing the intent of the policy. We need to
develop the appropriate revenue source for operations and the appropriate revenue source for growth. The revenue
sources need to generate adequate cash reserves. The general manager needs to focus attention on these issues.
We need to complete the water rate study being conducted by Reiter Lowry Consultants.

WATER OPERATIONS
The proposed staffing for the water operations department for 2005 consists of a water utility manager, a superintendent,
a water system engineer, an associate water engineer, a planner, a water quality inspector, two foremen, two lead
technicians, five service technicians and two service technicians-in-training, a construction inspector and a contracts
administration clerk. This represents an increase of one position, the construction inspector.
The water operations department is organized into three groups: 1) The first group focuses on distribution system
operations, maintenance and repair. 2) The second group focuses on operation, maintenance and repair of pumps and
motors and on water quality and treatment facilities. 3) The third group focuses on engineering and planning.
The water department has big challenges to manage in 2005. We need to bring a new well on line. We need to complete
the reconstruction of the Donner Lake water system. We will replace leaking water lines in Tahoe Donner. We will rebuild
and expand the Airport well building and the Sierra Meadows pump station. We will conduct a pilot study of arsenic
removal.
The biggest challenge is to deal with developers who bring significant growth in our customer base and demand for water.
As described elsewhere in this document, growth is our biggest challenge. It overburdens our organization staff and our
finances. We need to add the construction inspector to help deal with growth.

ELECTRIC AND WATER CAPITAL PLANS
The capital portion of the budget document contains a listing of the capital projects being suggested for 2005,
along with the recommended funding source. First, the electric system projects and related funding are listed,
then the same for the water system projects. This section of the 2005 Budget is derived in part from the Five-
Year Plan of Capital Expenditures. The first year of the five-year plan is contained in this section of the 2005
Budget, along with other capital projects that are small enough to be eliminated from the five-year plan, but need
to be reflected in the budget document for accounting purposes.
When the designated funding source is operations (OP), it means that rates are paying for the projects. When
customer contributions and developer contributions (CC and DC) are designated as the funding source, it means
that a connection fee or some other fee is paid by a customer or developer. Other sources are facilities fees
(FF) which have been set aside for support of certain kinds of capital projects, and we can borrow funds to pay
for capital projects with such projects listing debt (LOAN) as the funding source.
The use of funds is the listing of specific capital projects and utilizes brief descriptive titles to designate the
individual recommended capital projects. Hopefully the brief descriptions are adequate.
The electric capital projects total $2,874,222 and the water capital projects total $2,613,900 exclusive of Donner
Lake water System and Glenshire Water System. These two projects are funded separately from the overall
District budget and are paid for by means of a stream of payments derived from Donner Lake and Glenshire
customers respectively. This may appear to be a very large number, but our water and electric systems are
capital intensive. The level of reliable service we provide to our customers depends in large measure on the
strength of system infrastructure and the equipment we use.
Broadband is a topic that needs to be addressed. Deployment of the fiber-to-the-premise system has
encountered many delays, some related to our own cautious evaluation of the business plan, others contrived by
41
fearful competitors. We have a complete construction specification. We have contractors ready to construct the
system and provide content. We have investors ready to provide funding. It is entirely likely that we will be able
to move forward during 2005. This is a topic that the board will need to deal with.
