TRUCKEE DONNER
Public Utility District I
Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: April 18, 2007
Subject: Standby public hearing
Why this matter is before the Board: This matter involves Scheduling a public
hearing related to adoption of water and electric standby charges for the 2007-2008 tax
year. This requires Board action.
History: The purpose of the standby charge is to collect revenues to help pay operating
and maintenance expenses. The idea is that vacant lots benefit by being in close
proximity to water and electric lines, and should, therefore, contribute to maintenance of
those lines. We have not changed the standby rates in many years, and we do not
propose changing them at this time.
New information: This item relates to holding a public hearing to consider renewing
the existing water and electric standby charges on vacant parcels in the District. Public
notice of the hearing must be published for two successive weeks with at least five days
intervening between publication dates. The first notice to be published two weeks prior
to the hearing (May 23), and the second notice to be published one week prior to the
hearing (May 30).
Recommendation: I recommend that the Board call for a public hearing on June 6,
2007 at 7:00 PM for the purpose of receiving input on the adoption of water and electric
standby charges.
