Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Page 2 Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Truckee Donner Public Utility District as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Emphasis of Matter The consolidated financial statements referred to above include only the primary government of the District which consists of all departments that comprise the District’s legal entity. The consolidated financial statements do not include financial data for the District’s legally separate component units, which accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be reported with the financial data of the District’s primary government. As a result, the primary government financial statements do not purport to, and do not present fairly the financial position of the reporting entity of the District as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the results of operations, or its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the District has issued separate reporting entity financial statements, for which we have issued our report for the 2019 and 2018 statements dated May 22, 2020. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the accompanying management’s discussion and analysis on pages 4 through 8, the schedule of the District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability on page 49, the schedule of contributions on page 50, the schedule of the District’s change in the net OPEB liability and related ratios on page 51, the schedule of the District’s OPEB contributions on page 52, and the schedule of investment returns on page 52, be presented to supplement the basic consolidated financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic consolidated financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic consolidated financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures in the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic consolidated financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic consolidated financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Page 3 Other Supplementary Information Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the consolidated financial statements that collectively comprise the District’s consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidating statements of net position on page, and the related consolidating statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net position and cash flows as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 on pages 55 through 59 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic consolidated financial statements. The consolidating statements of net position, statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net position and cash flows have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic consolidated financial statements or to the basic consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the consolidating statements of net position, statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net position and cash flows are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Page 4 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As financial management of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District (the District), we offer readers of these financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the District for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. This discussion and analysis is designed to assist the reader in focusing on the significant financial topics, provide an overview of the District’s financial activity and identify changes in the District’s financial position. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with that presented within the basic financial statements. The reader should take time to read and evaluate all sections of this report, including the footnotes and other supplementary information that is provided, in addition to this management discussion and analysis. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The District’s current assets increased $2.9 million (8.1%) from $35.3 million at December 31, 2018 to $38.2 million at December 31, 2019, predominantly due to higher than anticipated revenues and lower than anticipated purchase power costs for the Electric Utility. The District’s current assets increased $1.5 million (4.5%) from $33.8 million at December 31, 2017 to $35.3 million at December 31, 2018, predominantly due to higher than anticipated revenues for the Electric Utility. The District’s total net position increased $7.9 million (6.4%) from $122.4 million at December 31, 2018, to $130.3 million at December 31, 2019. The total increase in net position from operating activities was $2.9 million, primarily due to higher than anticipated revenues for the Electric Utility coupled with strong capital contributions for both Electric and Water. These contributions are related to infrastructure constructed for new development and improvements within the District’s service area. There was a reduction in net position at the beginning of 2018 of $3.4 million due to a change in accounting principal to comply with GASB statement 75 for Other Postemployment Benefit reporting. The District’s total net position increased $4.8 million (4.1%) from $117.6 million at December 31, 2017, to $122.4 million at December 31, 2018. The total increase in net position from operating activities was $8.2 million, primarily due to higher than anticipated revenues for the Electric Utility coupled with strong capital contributions for both Electric and Water related to infrastructure constructed for new development within the District’s service area was offset by a reduction in net position. Operating revenues increased $1.6 million (4.4%) from $37.7 million in 2018 to $39.3 million in 2019. Electric revenues increased 4.9% in 2019 compared to 2018 respectfully. A 3% rate increase in 2019 along with a colder winter can be attributed to the increase. Water revenues increased 2.6% in 2019; a 3% water rate increase also occurred in 2019 slightly offset by the colder winter resulting in later irrigation patterns by consumers than the prior year. Operating revenues decreased $0.7 million (-1.7%) from $38.3 million in 2017 to $37.7 million in 2018. Electric revenues decreased 4% in 2018 compared to 2017 respectfully. A 3% rate increase in 2018 was offset by a milder winter than 2017 respectfully. Water revenues increased 4% in 2018; a 3% water rate increase also occurred in 2018 and the milder winter resulted in earlier irrigation patterns by consumers than the prior year. Other operating revenues in 2017 include CalOES and FEMA reimbursement funds from extreme winter storms during January and February 2017. TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2019 and 2018 See accompanying auditors’ report. Page 5 Operating expenses of the District increased $2.3 million (6.8%) from $34.1 million in 2018 to $36.4 million in 2019. The Water Utility had a 9.9% increase in operating expenses primarily due to internal labor shifting from capital to operations. This was planned as the District is deferring smaller pipeline replacements for a large project in 2022. In addition to the shift in labor the District as a whole experienced increased insurance, regulatory and maintenance material costs. Operating expenses of the District decreased $1.6 million (-4.5%) from $35.7 million in 2017 to $34.1 million in 2018. Operating expenses in 2017 for the Electric Utility included all of the extran expenses associated with the extreme winter storms that occurred in Q1, and were subsequently reimbursed by FEMA and CalOES in 2017. Non-operating revenues increased 53.5% at $0.96 million in 2019 compared to $0.63 million in 2018 due primarily to an increase in investment income. Non-operating expenses decreased 7.4% from $0.71 million in 2018 to $0.66 million in 2019 primarily due to a decrease in interest expense. Non-operating revenues increased 57.0% at $0.63 million in 2018 compared to $0.40 million in 2017 due primarily to an increase in investment income. Non-operating expenses decreased 8.3% from $0.78 million in 2017 to $0.71 million in 2018 primarily due to a decrease in interest expense. No new debt was incurred in 2019 and 2018. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Report of Independent Auditors, the Basic Financial Statements, (which includes the notes to the financial statements), Required Supplementary Information and additional Supplementary Information. REQUIRED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of the District are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the District’s finances similar to a private-sector business. They have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned and expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. These statements offer short-term and long-term financial information about the District’s activities. The reporting entity consists of the primary government, which provides two utilities (electric utility and water utility), and the blended component units. Further details about the component units are provided in note 1(A). The Consolidated Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the District’s assets, deferred outflows of resources and liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources and provides information about the nature and amounts of investments in resources (assets) and the obligations to District creditors (liabilities). It also provides the basis for computing rate of return, evaluating the capital structure of the District, and assessing the liquidity and financial flexibility of the District. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position. This statement provides a measurement of the District’s operations over the past year and can be used to determine whether the District has successfully recovered all its costs through its rates and other charges. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows provides relevant information about the District’s cash receipts and cash payments during the reporting period. This statement reports cash receipts and cash payments resulting from operating, non-capital financing, capital and related financing, and investing TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2019 and 2018 See accompanying auditors’ report. Page 6 activities. When used with related disclosures and information in the other financial statements, the statement of cash flows should provide insight into (a) the District’s ability to generate future net cash flows, (b) the District’s ability to meet its obligations as they come due, (c) the District’s needs for external financing, (d) the reasons for differences between operating income and associated cash receipts and payments, and (e) the effects on the District’s financial position of both its cash and its non-cash investing, capital, and financing transactions during the period. The changes in cash balances are an important indicator of the District’s liquidity and financial condition. The Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the basic financial statements. This includes but is not limited to, significant accounting policies, significant financial statement balances and activities, material risks, commitments and obligations, and subsequent events, as applicable.

Electric revenues increased 4.9% in 2019 compared to 2018. A 3% rate increase in 2019 along with a colder winter can be attributed to the increase. Water revenues increased 2.6% largely due to a 3% rate increase implemented in 2019 slightly offset by the colder winter resulting in later irrigation patterns. Electric revenues decreased 4% in 2018 compared to 2017. A 3% rate increase in 2018 was offset by a mild winter compared to the 2017 extreme winter. Water revenues increased 4.0%; a 3% rate increase in 2018 was implemented. Additionally, irrigation patterns for consumers started earlier in 2018 due to the milder winter than 2017. Total operating expenses were $36.4 million in 2019, $34.1 million in 2018, and $35.7 million in 2017. Increased operating expenses in 2019 can be attributed to increased tree trimming costs to reduce the risk of wildfire along with increased insurance and maintenance material costs. Electric expenses normalized in 2018 compared to 2017 as 2017 includes extraordinary expenses incurred from the extreme winter storms that year that were subsequently reimbursed by CalOES and FEMA. Non-operating revenues and expenses increased $0.4 million in 2019 and increased $0.3 million in 2018 due to an increase in investment income coupled by a decrease in interest expense. In 2018 the District implemented Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB) Statement of Governmental Accounting Standard No. 75 “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits other than Pensions” (GASB No. 75). The primary objective of GASB No. 75 is to improve accounting and financial TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2019 and 2018 See accompanying auditors’ report.

ORGANIZATION The Truckee Donner Public Utility District (the District) was formed and operates under the State of California Public Utility District Act. The District is governed by a board of directors which consists of five elected members. The District provides electric and water service to portions of Nevada and Placer Counties described as Truckee. The electric and water service operations are separately maintained and operated. These financial statements reflect the combined electric and water operations of the District. All significant transactions between electric and water operations have been eliminated. These eliminations include power purchases and rent for shared facilities. The District’s blended component units consist of organizations whose respective governing boards are comprised entirely of the members of the District’s Board of Directors. These organizations are reported as if they are a part of the District’s operations. The entities are legally separate, however, in the case of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District Financing Corporation, financial support has been pledged and financial and operational policies may be significantly influenced by the District. The financial results of these blended component units are not included in this report. However, the District has issued an additional consolidated report that includes these component units. A copy of that report can be requested from the District. Truckee Donner Public Utility District Financing Corporation is a legal entity that was created to issue and administer Certificates of Participation on behalf of the District. (See note 5). Separate standalone financial statements are not available for the blended component units described above. Unless noted, disclosures relating to the component units are the same as for the District. B. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements of the District have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets and liabilities, that are a result of exchange and exchange like transactions, are recognized when the exchange takes place. C. USE OF ESTIMATES Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 and 2018 Page 17 NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For the purpose of the accompanying statement of cash flows, the District considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents and are shown in the financial statements as “Cash Funds”. E. INVESTMENTS The District pools cash and investments. The District’s investment policy allows for investments in instruments permitted by the California Government Code and/or the investments permitted by the trust agreements on District financing. The District’s investment policy contains provisions intended to limit the District’s exposure to interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk. Investment income from pooled investments is allocated to all funds in the pool. Interest is allocated on the basis of month end cash amounts for each fund as a percentage of the total balance. The District categorizes the fair value measurements of its investments based on the hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy, which has three levels, is based on the valuation inputs used to measure an assets fair value: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The District does not have any investments that are measured using Level 3 inputs. F. DESIGNATED ASSETS The board has designated certain resources for future capital projects, replacements, and operational needs. G. RESTRICTED ASSETS Restricted assets are assets restricted by the covenants of long-term financial arrangements or other third party legal restrictions. Restricted assets are used in accordance with their requirements and where both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, restricted resources are used first and then unrestricted as they are needed. H. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are reported net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $13,100 and $18,100 for 2019 and 2018, respectively. Receivables are considered past due after 30 days and routine collection efforts begin. District Code allows for the Treasurer to write off delinquent account balances up to 0.17% of the amounts billed. This write off process occurs semi- annually. I. MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES Materials and supplies are recorded at average cost. J. DEBT PREMIUM, BOND ISSUANCE COSTS, AND DISCOUNTS Original issue and reacquired bond premiums and discounts relating to revenue bonds are amortized over the terms of the respective bond issues using the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs are expensed in the period incurred. TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 and 2018 Page 18 NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) K. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT RECEIVABLE Special assessment receivable represent amounts due from property owners within the Donner Lake Assessment District for improvements made by the District pursuant to an agreement with the property owners to improve their water quality as discussed in note 7. L. AMORTIZED EXPENSES In 2003, the District entered into a broadband dark fiber maintenance agreement with Sierra Pacific Communications (SPC) which is included in the line item “other non-current assets” in the accompanying Statement of Net Position. SPC subsequently assigned the agreement to AT&T. The agreement is expected to provide benefit to the District over the estimated 20-year life of the agreement. (See note 4). M. CAPITAL ASSETS Capital assets are generally defined by the District as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $10,000 and an estimated useful life of at least two years. Capital assets of the District are stated at the lower of cost or the acquisition value at the time of contribution to the District. Major outlays for plant are capitalized as projects are constructed. Depreciation on capital assets is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows: Distribution Plant Electric 23 – 35 years Water 15 – 40 years Computer software and hardware 3 – 7 years Building and improvements 20 – 33 years Equipment and furniture 4 – 10 years It is the District’s policy to capitalize interest paid on debt incurred for significant construction projects while those projects are under construction, less any interest earned on related unspent debt proceeds. No new debt related to capital assets was issued in 2019 and 2018; no interest was capitalized in 2019 or in 2018. N. COMPENSATED ABSENCES Under terms of employment, employees are granted sick leave and vacations in varying amounts. Only benefits considered to be vested are disclosed in these statements. Vested vacation and sick leave pay is accrued when earned in the financial statements. The liability is liquidated from general operating revenues of the utility. O. REVENUE RECOGNITION Unbilled revenues, representing estimated consumer usage for the period between the last meter reading and the end of the period, are accrued in the period of consumption. Water customers without meters are billed on a flat-rate basis, and revenues are recorded as billed. Revenues from connection fees are recognized upon completion of the connection. Income that the District has earned through investing its excess cash is reflected within income from investments when earned. TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 and 2018 Page 19 NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) P. REVENUE AND EXPENSE CLASSIFICATION The District distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items in the preparation of its financial statements. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing electric and water services in connection with the District’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues are sales to customers. The District’s operating expenses include power purchases, labor, materials, services, and other expenses related to the delivery of electric and water services. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses, or capital contributions and other. Q. POWER PURCHASES AND TRANSMISSION In 1999, the District entered into an agreement with Sierra Pacific Power Company dba NV Energy (SPPC), whereby SPPC will provide transmission services to the District through December 31, 2027. The District uses this transmission service to import energy over SPPC’s transmission system to serve District load. In addition, the District purchases scheduling services from Utah Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) and the scheduling services are included in the monthly power billings from UAMPS. The purchase of transmission services from SPPC represented 7.8% and 7.7% of total purchased power costs in 2018 and 2019, respectively. In December of 2005, the District entered into an agreement with UAMPS. Subsequently, the District entered into several pooling appendices for power capacity and energy that relate to various time periods from January 2008 through March 2028. Also in 2009, the District signed an agreement with UAMPS for approximately 5 MW of the Nebo natural gas generation plant capacity. In August 2012, the Horse Butte Wind project began commercial operation and the District owns approximately 15 MW of nameplate capacity that generates about 5 MW on average. The District has also invested in the Veyo Heat Recovery project that came on line in mid-2016. The District receives about 1.7 MW of carbon-free generation from this resource. In September 2019 the District entered into 25-year Purchase Power Agreement with UAMPS for a 6MW share of the Red Mesa Solar Project. The Project is being developed by UAMPS and the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority for use by UAMPS members. It is scheduled to be online by June 1, 2022. The Red Mesa Solar Project price for energy is among the lowest wholesale price paid by the District for any resource. It is estimated that a 6MW share equates to about 10 percent of total annual District energy requirements. In August of 2007, the District entered into an agreement with Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) for the delivery of Stampede Dam Hydroelectric generation. In accordance with this agreement, the District is entitled to a portion of the power generated by Stampede Dam. This generation is dependent upon the amount of water that is made available to the generator. This agreement is effective through 2024. In 2018 and 2019, the UAMPS contract, along with its appendices, and the WAPA contract for Stampede Dam Hydroelectric generation comprised the majority of a diversified power portfolio that balanced risk and costs for the District. TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 and 2018 Page 20 NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) R. CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM PROCEEDS California Assembly Bill 32 (AB32) is an effort by the State of California to set a 2020 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goal into law. AB32 requires California to lower greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Central to this initiative is the implementation of a cap and trade program, which covers major sources of GHG emissions in the State including power plants. The California Cap and Trade Program is designed to achieve cost-effective emissions reductions across the capped sectors. The program sets maximum statewide GHG emissions for all covered sectors each year (“cap”), and allows covered entities to sell off allowances (“trade”). An allowance is a tradable permit that allows the emission of one metric ton of CO2. The California carbon price is driven by allowance trading. The District is subject to AB32 and has excess allowances due to reducing carbon-based generation in its power portfolio. In 2019 and 2018, the District sold its excess allowances in the program auctions and the proceeds were recorded as $1,503,495 and $1,186,320 operating revenue for the respective years. The auction proceeds are held in a restricted fund and are used to purchase qualified renewable power. (See note 2) S. INCOME TAXES As a government agency, the District is exempt from payment of federal and state income taxes. T. CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL ASSETS A portion of the District’s capital assets have been obtained through amounts charged to developers for plant constructed by the District; direct contributions of capital assets from developers and other parties; as well as assessments of local property owners. These items are recognized within capital assets as construction is completed for plant constructed by the District based on the cost of the items, when received for contributed capital assets based on the actual or estimated fair value of the contributed items, or upon completion of the related project for development agreements. The District records amounts received within capital contributions when a legally enforceable claim is established. Until the District meets the criteria to record the amounts described above as capital contributions, any amounts received are recorded within unearned revenues on the Statement of Net Position. U. OTHER – PENSION SIDEFUND As a result of implementing GASB Statement No. 68, the pension side-fund payoff that occurred in 2011 and which had been reported in the financial statements as an asset was written off due to the District’s participation in CalPERS cost-sharing multi-employer retirement benefit plan. However, the liability for the payoff remains until paid in full thru 2022. The intercompany fund transfers for the principal portion of the debt service between the electric and water utility is included as “other.” V. PENSION For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the District’s California Public Employee’s Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) and the additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 and 2018 Page 21 NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) W. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS IMPLEMENTED BY THE DISTRICT GASB Statement No. 83, Certain Asset Retirement Obligations, addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain asset retirement obligations (ARO’s). The District has determined that this pronouncement had no impact on the District’s financial position or results of operations. In May 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 95, Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance. The objective of this Statement is to provide temporary relief from certain new accounting and financial reporting requirements to districts in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the statement being effective immediately, the District has adopted this pronouncement for fiscal year 2019 resulting in postponement of implementing GASB Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities and GASB Statement No. 88, Certain Disclosures Related to Debt, including Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements. Other statements impacted by this statement are not effective for the fiscal year end 2019. The District will continue to evaluate the financial statement impact of adopting this Statement. X. DEFERRED OUTFLOWS OF RESOURCES AND DEFERRED INFLOWS OF RESOURCES Deferred Outflows of Resources: This separate financial statement element represents consumption of net position or fund balance that applies to future period(s) and so will not be recognized until that time. Deferred Inflows of Resources: This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net positon or fund balance that applies to future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources until that time. Y. UNAMORTIZED LOSS ON BOND REFUNDING For current and advanced refunding results in defeasance of debt, the difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the old debt (Gain or loss) is deferred and amortized as a component of interest expense over the remaining life of the old debt or the new debt, whichever is shorter. These amounts are reported as deferred outflow on the statements of net position. Z. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN UPCOMING YEARS GASB Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities, addresses identifying fiduciary activities of all state and local governments. The general focus of the criteria is on (1) whether a government is controlling the assets of the fiduciary activity and (2) the beneficiaries with whom a fiduciary relationship exists. Separate criteria are included to identify component units and postemployment benefit arrangements that are fiduciary activities. The District has not determined what impact, if any, this pronouncement will have on the financial statements. This statement is effective for the District fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. GASB Statement No. 87, Leases, addresses accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. This Statement increases the usefulness of financials statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases by establishing a single model of lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about leasing activities. The District has not determined what impact, if any, this pronouncement will have on the financial statements. This statement is effective for the District fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 and 2018 Page 22 NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Z. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN UPCOMING YEARS (Continued) GASB Statement No. 88, Certain Disclosures Related to Debt, including Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements, addresses information that is disclosed in notes related to debt including direct borrowing and direct placements. It also clarifies which liabilities the District should include when disclosing information related to debt. This statement is effective for the District fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. GASB Statement No. 89, Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period, addresses interest costs incurred before the end of a construction period to be recorded as an expenditure in the applicable period. As a result, interest costs incurred before the end of a construction period will not be included in the historical cost of a capital asset reported. The District has not determined what impact this pronouncement will have on the financial statements. Application of this statement is effective for the District’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. NOTE 2 – CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND INVESTMENTS Cash, cash equivalents and investments are recorded in accounts as either restricted or unrestricted as required by the District’s certificates of participation indentures or other third-party legal restrictions. Restricted assets represent funds that are restricted by certificates of participation covenants or third party contractual agreements. Assets that are allocated by resolution of the Board of Directors are considered to be Board designated assets. Board designated assets are a component of unrestricted assets as their use may be redirected at any time by approval of the Board. Upon Board approval, assets from board designated accounts may be used to pay for selected capital projects. Such accounts have been designated by the Board for the following purposes: Electric Capital Replacement Starting in 2009, the Board set aside funds designated for future electric infrastructure replacement. Electric Vehicle Reserve Beginning in 2009, the Board set aside funds designated for future electric utility vehicle replacements. Electric Rate Reserve In compliance with Board rules, the District created an electric rate stabilization fund in anticipation of future costs. During both 2019 and 2018, there was no utilization of these funds to offset increased power costs in lieu of raising electric rates. Water Vehicle Reserve Beginning in 2009, the Board set aside funds designated for future Water Utility vehicle replacements. Prepaid Connection Fees In compliance with Board rules, the District has set aside prepaid connection fees to cover installation costs of water services. TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 and 2018 Page 23 NOTE 2 – CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) Debt Service Coverage and Operating Reserve Fund Effective 2007, the Board has voluntarily set aside funds to improve the District’s cash-to-debt- service ratio.

The DLAD Improvement Fund also has a reserve fund as required by the California – Safe Drinking Water – State Revolving Fund (SRF). This fund is required to set aside $40,043 semi-annually for ten years beginning in 2006. The reserve fund was fully funded as of December 31, 2016. AB32 Cap and Trade Auction Fund The District electric utility is identified as an “Electric Distribution Utility” under the Cap and Trade regulations and is therefore eligible to receive a direct allocation of allowances that can be sold in an auction. The proceeds from quarterly allowance auctions are held in this restricted fund and are used to purchase qualified renewable power. These funds are intended to mitigate the burden on the consumer without impacting a carbon price signal. Other (Area Improvement Funds) The District received funds from the County of Nevada, which are to be used only for improvements to specific areas within the District’s boundaries in Nevada County. These areas include various Nevada County assessment districts.

TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 and 2018 Page 25 NOTE 2 – CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) Adjustments necessary to record investments at fair market value are recorded in the operating statement as increases or decreases in investment income. Market values may have changed significantly after year end. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The District applies the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application, which requires governmental entities, to report certain investments at fair value on the Statements of Net Position. Investments are valued at fair value at December 31. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The District categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable. Level 3 inputs are valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant inputs are unobservable. The District classifies its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The District has the following fair value measurements as of December 31, 2019:  US Government bonds are valued using observable inputs (Level 2 inputs). INVESTMENTS AUTHORIZED BY THE DISTRICT’S INVESTMENT POLICY The District adopted an investment policy in 2006 which allowed for investments in instruments permitted by the California Government Code and/or the investments permitted by the trust agreements on District financing, including investments in the local government investment fund pool administered by the State of California (LAIF), Placer County Treasurer’s Investment Portfolio (PCTIP) pooled investment and Utah Public Treasurers’ Investment Fund (UPTIF). The District’s investment policy contains provisions intended to limit the District’s exposure to interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk. At December 31, 2019 and 2018 the District’s deposits and investments at fair value were held as follows: 2019 2018 Cash on hand 2,400$ 2,400$ Deposits 1,287,103 1,538,997 LAIF 13,390,301 10,284,840 PCTIP 8,271,436 8,068,948 UPTIF 8,856,197 8,813,143 Money Market Funds 132,506 160,980 Government Bonds 1,730,450 1,753,275 Totals 33,670,393$ 30,622,583$ TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 and 2018 Page 26 NOTE 2 – CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) DISCLOSURES RELATING TO INTEREST RATE RISK Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in the market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater is the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the District’s investments to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the District’s investments by maturity for 2019 and 2018: Investments and Deposits Maturity LAIF 3 months or less PCTIP 3 months or less UPTIF 3 months or less Morgan Stanley Treasury 3 months or less Fidelity Money Market Government Portfolio 57 3 months or less Dreyfus Treasury Securities 3 months or less Federal Farm Credit Banks 03/02/2021 DISCLOSURES RELATING TO CREDIT RISK Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. LAIF, PCTIF and UPTIF do not have a rating provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Morgan Stanley Treasury is rated AAAm by S&P and Aaa-mf by Moody’s. Federal Farm Credit Banks is rated AA+ by S&P and Aaa by Moody’s. The Dreyfus Treasury Securities is rated Aaa-mf by Moody’s and AAAm by S&P. The Fidelity Money Market is rated AAA-mf by Moody’s and AAAm by S&P. CUSTODIAL CREDIT RISK Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The District’s investment policy does not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits. However, the California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless waived by the government unit). The market value of pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 all deposits were fully insured or collateralized. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker/dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the District’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for investments. With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct investments in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government’s indirect investment in securities through the use of mutual funds or governmental investment pools (such as LAIF).

NOTE 4 – TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES In 1999, the District initiated a project to expand its basic service offerings to include internet access, cable television and voice delivered over fiber optic networks (the broadband project). The District completed the broadband design project and obtained the necessary regulatory approvals and franchises needed to construct and launch the broadband project. A local cable television service provider filed an objection in September 2004 with the Nevada County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the entity responsible for providing regulatory approval for the broadband project. After denying the cable television provider’s request for a reconsideration of their approval of the District’s project, the cable television provider filed a lawsuit against LAFCO. The District was not named in the lawsuit. A ruling on the lawsuit was received in January 2006. LAFCO prevailed on all portions of the cable television provider’s claim. The cable television provider filed an appeal; however, in June of 2007, the Court ruled in favor of LAFCO, upholding the initial ruling. Since 2009, the District has been exploring options to sell or lease the existing infrastructure to provide a return on investment in the project. Expenses incurred by the District to date on the broadband project total $2,834,079, of which $496,990 was expensed in 2014 for legal fees and preliminary feasibility studies. In 2019 and 2018 there were no material expenditures for this project. In 2018, The District signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Plumas Sierra Telecommunications to offer services utilizing these four fibers from Reno to Sacramento in future years.

The District submitted expenditures to the State for reimbursement of $12,732,965. The semi-annual principal and interest payments are $400,426 and commenced in 2006. In 2004, the remaining balance of $12,227,122 was used to pay off the temporary lines of credit obtained in 2001 and 2002 to fund the Donner Lake project. (See note 7). On October 12, 2006, through the Truckee Donner Public Utility District Financing Corporation on behalf of the District issued $26,570,000 of Certificates of Participation to refund 100% of the outstanding balance of Certificates issued in 1996, complete the funding of the Donner Lake Assessment District water system, and fund water system capital improvements. The refunding portion of the 2006 COP’s, totaling $8,465,000, has an average interest rate of 4.10%. The refunded 1996 COP’s had an average interest rate of 5.41%. The net proceeds of $7,500,557 (after payment of $63,733 in underwriting fees, insurance and other issuance costs) plus an additional $1,315,194 of reserve fund monies were used to prepay the outstanding debt service requirements on the 1996 COP’s. The terms of the Certificates call for payments to be made only from the net revenues of the Water Division and the debt is secured by this revenue. These revenues are required to be at least equal to 125% of the debt service for each year. In 2015, a portion of the 2006 COP was refunded. Since a portion of the 2006 COP was used for advance refunding of previous COP, that portion could not be advance refunded at the time of the refunding. The new 2015 refunding did not require a reserve fund. The reserve fund was liquidated and applied towards reducing the debt principal. The estimated net present value savings were $1,600,000 or 10% over the remaining life of issuance. In 2016, the remaining portion of the 2006 COP was refunded. Due to the refunding an estimated net present value savings of $222,000 was achieved. Under the Safe Drinking Water Bond Law of 1986, the Department of Water Resources provided a $5,000,000 loan to the District in 1993. The loan was to finance capital improvements to the public water supply and to reduce water quality hazards. The terms of the loan call for payments to be made only from the net revenues of the Water Division, which are required to be sufficient to pay the debt service for each year. In June 2011, the District refunded (refinanced) an existing $7.8 million pension side fund obligation for its participation in CalPERS. Prior to 2011, the annual side fund payments were expensed and described in the Notes to Financial Statements. The pension side fund liability was amortized through June 2022 with a 7.75% rate. This liability was not required to be reported on the District’s Statement of Net Position, but the future pension expense was included in budget and rate calculations. The new refunding rate of 5% reduced the District’s annual pension costs by almost $100,000 through 2022. In 2016, the District refunded the pension side fund again earning the District annual savings of $30,000 or $164,000 in total. As a normal part of its operations, the District finances the acquisition of certain assets through the use of installment loans. These loans have been used to finance the purchase of vehicles, equipment, and certain water system improvements. There were no additional installment loans in 2019 or in 2018.

As a part of the takeover, the District replaced the entire water system, which cost approximately $15.6 million and was completed in 2006. The District initially estimated the replacement cost to be $13 million. The Donner Lake property owners agreed to reimburse the District for the full costs of the replacement. Therefore, an assessment was placed on each Donner Lake homeowner’s property for a pro- rata share of the $13 million payable immediately or with an option to pay over 20 years. The assessment is collected by Nevada County and Placer County on behalf of the District and is secured by the Donner Lake property owners. A monthly $6.65 water system upgrade surcharge is paid by the Donner Lake customers to reimburse the District for the $2.6 million cost incurred in excess of the assessment. In April 2004, the District obtained financing in the form of a State Revolving Fund Loan for $12,732,965 at a rate of 2.34%. The District is required to fund a reserve account by making semi-annual reserve payments in the amount of $40,043 for a 10-year period. The reserve fund was fully funded as of December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the assessment receivable from the property owners was $1,562,702 and $2,294,810. These amounts are shown as Special Assessments Receivable in the Statement of Net Position.

PENSION LIABILITIES, PENSION EXPENSES AND DEFERRED OUTFLOWS/INFLOWS OF RESOURCES RELATED TO PENSIONS (Continued) The District’s net pension liability is measured as a proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability is measured as of June 30, 2019, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2018 rolled forward to June 30, 2019 using standard update procedures. The District’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the District’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. The District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for the Plan for the measurement date of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 is as follows: June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018 Change 0.32145%0.31157%0.00988% Percentage Share of Risk Pool Percentage of Plan NPL Measurement Date At December 31, 2019 the District reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources: Deferred Outflows of Resources Deferred Inflows of Resources Changes of assumptions 396,231$ -$ Differences between expected and actual experience 824,788 - Differences between projected and actual investment earnings - 225,054 Differences between employer's contributions and proportionate share of contributions - 319,814 Change in employer's proportion 348,223 - Pension contributions made subsequent to the measurement date 780,764 - Total 2,350,006$ 544,868$ 2019 Deferred Outflows of Resources Deferred Inflows of Resources Changes of assumptions 1,010,564$ -$ Differences between expected and actual experience 297,214 - Differences between projected and actual investment earnings 58,050 - Differences between employer's contributions and proportionate share of contributions - 244,597 Change in employer's proportion 215,948 - Pension contributions made subsequent to the measurement date 704,797 - Total 2,286,573$ 244,597$ 2018 TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 and 2018 Page 35 NOTE 8 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Continued) B.

The Table includes 15 years of mortality improvements using 90 percent of Scale MP 2016 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the 2017 experience study report. All underlying mortality assumptions and all other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2019 valuation were based on results of a December 2017 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. Further details of the Experience Study can be found on the CalPERS website. Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability as of December 31, 2019 was 7.15%. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the tested plans run out of assets. Therefore, the current 7.15% discount rate used is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not necessary. The long term expected discount rate of 7.15% will be applied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF). The stress test results are presented in a detailed report that can be obtained from the CalPERS website.

PENSION LIABILITIES, PENSION EXPENSES AND DEFERRED OUTFLOWS/INFLOWS OF RESOURCES RELATED TO PENSIONS (Continued) The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building- block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rate of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long term (11 + years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent. The table below reflects the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation. The target allocation shown below was adopted by CalPERS’ Board effective on July 1, 2018.

C. PAYABLE TO THE PENSION PLAN At December 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively the District did not report a payable for outstanding required contributions to the pension plan. D. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN The District maintains two deferred compensation plans: a 401(a) and a 457 plan, (the Plans) for certain qualified employees. The District matches 6.78% of eligible employee contributions. In 2019 the total match was $162,913 compared to $137,045 in 2018. The District has no liability for losses under the Plans, but does have the duty of due care that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The District has not reflected the Plans’ assets and corresponding liabilities (if any) on the accompanying Statement of Net Position. E. OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) General Information - As discussed in Note 1, beginning with the year ended December 31, 2018, the District adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. The District’s retiree Benefits Plan (the Plan) recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. The Plan’s fiduciary net position has been determined on the same basis as is reported by the Plan in calculating the fiduciary net position (Net OPEB Liability), deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resource and associated OPEB expense. The District administers a single-employer defined-benefit post-employment healthcare plan. Dependents are eligible to enroll. Benefits Provided – Retirees are eligible for a District contribution towards premiums for the retiree health plans(s) if they have 10+ years of District service. The maximum District contribution is based on years of service. The Retiree is eligible for 50% of the following maximums, with a minimum of 10 years of service, plus 5% for each year of service over 10 years: $475 per person enrolled in the plan, if not eligible for Medicare, and $375 per person enrolled, if eligible for Medicare. Employees Covered – At June 30, 2017 (the valuation date), the benefit terms covered the following employees: Category Count Active Employees: 68 Inactive Employees, spouses, or beneficiaries currently receiving payment(s):53 Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefit payment(s):0 Total 121 TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 and 2018 Page 38 NOTE 8 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Continued) E. OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) (Continued) Contributions – The District pays benefits as they come due and contributes additionally to the Trust annually. The District’s annual contribution to the Trust as of December 31, 2019 was $100,000. Net OPEB Liability – The District’s net OPEB liability was measured as of December 31, 2018, and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2017. Actuarial Assumptions The total OPEB Liability in the December 31, 2018 measurement date was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified: Inflation: 2.00% Salary Increases: Base salary increases in year one: 2.750%. Additional merit-based increases based on CalPERS. Investment Rate of Return: 7.59% Healthcare cost trend rates: 6.50% in the first year, trending down to 3.84% over 57 years Mortality Rates: Based on CalPERS tables Actuarial Assumptions (Continued) The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 7.59%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that the District contribution will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to cover all future OPEB payments. Therefore, the discount rate was set equal to the long-term expected rate of return.

It is the main groundwater supply for numerous public and private entities. This area has seen significant growth in the last few decades with more planned for the future. Maintaining an adequate water supply and protecting water quality are critical for the region's future. The Truckee Donner Public Utility District (TDPUD), Northstar Community Services District (NCSD) and Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) are the three primary public water agencies with jurisdiction in the Martis Valley Groundwater Basin (MVGB). Together, the TDPUD, NCSD and PCWA (Partnership Agencies) partnered to submit a Groundwater Management Plan and to help develop a groundwater model for the Martis Valley basin. The Martis Valley Groundwater Management Plan (GMP) was prepared in 2013 to reflect current water resources planning in the region and to incorporate the latest information and understanding of the underlying groundwater basin. This collaborative effort provided the guidance necessary to align groundwater policy. In addition to the GMP, a computer model of the groundwater basin was developed by the Desert Research Institute, which incorporated available data and enhanced understanding of the groundwater basin. A climate change modeling component out to the end of the century was part of the overall Federal study effort. Partner agencies each adopted the GMP in February 2012 and the model and associated report was completed in 2015. The total cost of the project was approximately $1,000,000, which includes federal funding of approximately $500,000 from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and $250,000 from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; and contributions of $150,000 from TDPUD and $100,000 from the other members of the Partnership Agencies. In mid-2016, the California Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 (SGMA) took effect for which the District was the submitting agency of a SGMA Alternate Submittal in December, 2016 on behalf of the Town of Truckee, Placer County, Nevada County, PCWA, and Northstar CSD (Local SGMA Agencies). The SGMA Alternative Submittal was intended to comply with the new regulations. There was an adopted MOA amongst the six local agencies for this compliance project which covers the time period for preparation of the SGMA Alternative Submittal, possible conditional acceptance of the plan by DWR, and submittal of a first-year annual report. DWR had two years by statute to review the SGMA Alternative Submittal. In 2018, DWR was required to undergo groundwater basin prioritization which is the basis for compliance obligation for SGMA. The MVGB had previously been prioritized as medium priority. DWR’s final Determination was to re-prioritize MVGB to low priority. This was a significant act that resulted in a direct reduction in regulatory burden and future regulatory costs that would be required for groundwater management. To ensure continued stewardship and management of the MVGB, the District and its local partners have agreed to return to the 2013 GMP framework which was never fully implemented due to SGMA. There was a kick-off meeting for the GMP in 2019 and the three local water agencies have hired a hydro geologic consultant to prepare the first annual report as required by the GMP. The consultant’s report will be presented to the GMP Stakeholder Working Group at the annual meeting this summer. NOTE 12 – CLAIMS AND JUDGMENTS From time to time, the utility is party to various pending claims and legal proceedings. Although the outcome of such matters cannot be forecasted with certainty, it is the opinion of management and the utility's legal counsel that the likelihood is remote that any such claims or proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the utility's financial position or results of operations. TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 and 2018 Page 47 NOTE 13 – RISK MANAGEMENT The utility is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, or destruction of assets; errors and omissions; workers compensation; and health care of its employees. These risks are covered through the purchase of commercial insurance, with minimal deductibles. Settled claims have not exceeded the commercial liability in any of the past three years. There were no significant reductions in coverage compared to the prior year. NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT Subsequent to year end, an outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) occurred in the United States, along with various other countries globally. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Cooperative assessed the novel coronavirus outbreak and characterized it as a pandemic. Subsequent to the declaration of a pandemic, a variety of federal, state and local governments have taken actions in response to the pandemic, which have ranged by jurisdiction, but are generally expected to result in a variety of negative economic consequences, the scope of which are not currently known or quantifiable. The duration and intensity of the impact of the coronavirus and resulting impact to the District is unknown.
