Memo to:
Kris berry, Placer LArco nxecutive Officer
HanlC Weston, Nevada LAPCo Chairman
Michael Holley, GM TDPUD
Kathy Neus, TDPUD
Kathy Neus recently contacted this office about TDPUD's Plans to apply for annexation of more than 50
properties in Placer County, including parcels held 6y Union Pacific Railroad in order to provide electrical service
(consistent with a fringe agreement with CalPeco-Liberty rnergy) and parcels in multiple ownership and developed
or designated for residential or commercial use. Of these latter properties, a large number are already served 69 the
District for water and/or electrical power, while others are adjacent to District water and electrical Jistri6ution
infrastructure.
Nevada LAPCo is the principal county LArco for Truckee Donner Public Utility District, and is therefore
responsible for reviewing all TDPUD proposals, unless pursuant to Government Code Section 56588 the
Commission agrees to transfer jurisdiction to Placer LArco and Placer LAf-Co agrees to accept jurisdiction.
In order to expedite processing, Nevada LAPCo policy delegates authority for transferringjurisdiction for multi -
county district proposals to the Executive Officer, if the proposal is of minor significance and the proposal would
benefit the public.
This annexation can 6e characterize] as one qualifying for automaticjurisdictional transfer (to Placer LArco) in
consideration of the following:
1 . The parcels in question are either already served 6,9 the district, or are adjacent to served properties as well
as to district tran5m1ss1on/J1str16ut1on facilities, or (in the case of the UPR properties) subject to a "fringe
agreement" between the District and electrical utility CalPeco-Liberty 17-nergy.
z. The annexation proposal is consistent with both the District's current sphere of influence as well as the
proposed update of the sphere of influence.
5. The District's capacity for providing service has been well documented, in Nevada LArco's cast County
Water Municipal Service Review and the preliminary draft of Nevada LArco's municipal service review of
the electrical services in the east county area.
4. Placer LArco has indicated it would prefer to process the proposal since the properties are located in
Placer County.
Therefore, Kathy should contact Kris E)erry, Placer LAFCo executive Officer, to discuss the proposal and
Placer LAPCo's application requirements. Nevada LArCo will transfer all the parcel and other data that has
been accumulated on the proposal to Placer LArCo and work with Placer LAI=Co and the District to ensure a
smooth transfer. it would be appreciated if Placer LArCo would Provide notice to Nevada LA Co at each stage
of the annexation process. if I can 6e of assistance at any point, please don't hesitate to call or e-mail tkis office.
