APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Director Maass moved, and Director Kuttel seconded, that the minutes of
December 15, 17, 30, 1980, and January 5 and 12, 1981, be approved. ROLL CALL:
all Directors, aye; Duffy, absent. SO MOVED. The minutes of the special and
regular meetings on January 19, 1981, had not been prepared yet; they will ap-
pear on the next agenda.
Director Kuttel moved, and Director Maass seconded, that the minutes of
February 2 and 9, 1981, be typed in final form as corrected by Director Huber.
ROLL CALL: Duffy, absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED.
Director Maass moved that the Board reconsider the already approved min-
utes of December 1, 1980. He noted his concern regarding the first sentence
having to do with the Hilltop quitclaim deed and recreational covenants. (A
motion made in jest and obviously not intended to be made a part of the per-
manent record.) He asked that the page be retyped deleting the motion anfl
its noted failure. Director Kuttel seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Duffy,
absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED.
STATEMENT OF GENERAL FUND AND BILLS FOR BOARD APPROVAL
Director Maass mentioned that, previously, the Board directed that $200,000
be taken out of the General Fund and deposited into a Restricted Fund for the
Mortis Valley Substation. He asked that the Manager report regarding the trans-
fer at the next meeting.
Director Maass commented that the McDonough, Holland and Allen bill was
allocated totally to the general account and should be broken down between the
Electric and Water Departments. Mr. Holt explained the Sierra Pacific Power
Company bill for the design and construction of the substation. It was noted
that the Truckee Sanitary District sewer billing for 1979/80 was allocated
totally to the Water Department and should be spread out between the Water,
Electric and General accounts.
In response to President Huber's question, Mr. Holt advised that Baucum's
Lock and Key Service's bill was for rekeying the District's locks - something
he felt should be done periodically. With respect to Public Employer Person-
nel Consultants' bill, the Chairman asked the Manager to check into the status
of the various projects assigned to Mr. Lloyd.
The Sierra Sun billing brought up the question of whether or not it would
be possible for the District to satisfy legal requirements by advertising in
another newspaper. District Counsel Simon will research the matter and report
to the Board.
The Cook Associates' bill, which had been inadvertently left off the bills
for Board approval and listed separately, was mentioned.
3/2/81 pg. 1
Director Maass commented with respect to the editorial by Bill Vander-
schmidt which appeared in the February 26th issue of the Sierra Sun. He in-
dicated he did not feel the District should respond to the newspaper and noted
that it was the PUD's policy for only the Board President to provide informa-
tion to the news media in order to eliminate any possibility of biased or er-
roneous statements being made. He quoted Mr. Vanderschmidt' s editorial in part -
"Simply, a public entity, operated by elected officials and the actions of which
touch everyone of us, has burrowed even further into its cloak of secrecy. It
is virtually impossible for a paper with as small a staff as that of the Sun to
cover the regular, long-winded and tedious board meeting of the PUD. Without
the cooperation of the manager and/or the board members, you are going to be
able to learn little or nothing about what goes on in this particular inner
sanctum." Director Maass stated that, by a reporter calling the Manager or
individual Board Members and requesting information, he is not doing a good
journalistic duty because it allows a censor to what is public information.
What has been printed in tne Sierra Sun in the past has, many times, been er-
roneous. As a result, the District has spent thousands of dollars in advertis-
ing in small display ad form in addition to the required publications in the
legal section. In this gunner, the District has been able to provide informa-
tion to the public that is factual. Thereafter, he moved that the bills pre-
sented for approval (including the Sierra sun advertising bill) be paid.
Director Kuttci seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Duffy, absent; all other
Directors, aye. SO MOVED.
I
MANAGER'S REPORT
Request for Board direction re Toomey - The Manager advised that the Manager
of the Donner Creek Mobile Home Park requested four electrical services to
be connected. It was uncertain whether or not the connections would be to
existing services or to the proposed new development which has not yet been
approved by the County. Appropriate deposits were made and meter drops were
accomplished; however, connections were not made.
FIRE HYDRANT MAINTENANCE - CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION APPROVING SPECIFICATIONS
AND ISSUING A CALL FOR BIDS ON PICKUP
After review of the truck and truck bed specifications and some discus-
sion concerning special equipment to be installed on the truck. Director
Maass moved that the Board adopt Resolution No. 8119 approving specifica-
tions and calling for bids on a truck for fire hydrant maintenance. The date
and time established for the bid opening is April 3, 1981, at 4;00 P.M. The
motion was seconded by Director Kuttel. ROLL CALL: Duffy, absent; all other
Directors, aye. SO MOVED.
I
CONSIDERATION UFJ1M0_0F_UNLKKSTANDING RELATIVE TO PAYBACK PROVISIONS -
PONDEROSA ASSOCIATES
The Board indicated they had not had a chance to review Mr. Cook's draft
Memo of Understanding as it was received on today's date. The matter was
put over to March 16, 1981.
CUSTOMER SERVICE - CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING POLICY ON OWNER/
RENTER RESPONSIBILITIES
District Counsel Simon noted thp.t, in the draft resolution prepared by
his office, the terminology had been changed to be more accurate. The Chair-
man mentioned checking into the feasibility of initiating lien procedures
against owners for non-payment of utility bills by rentors. Thereafter,
Director Maass moved, and Director Kuttel seconded, that the Board adopt Res-
olution No. 8120 establishing District policy regarding owner/renter respon-
sibilities (service transfers - utility bills) as prepared by Mr. Simon. ROLL
CALL: Duffy, absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED. I
PUBLIC HEARING
DISTRICT ENGINEER'S AND COUNSEL'S RECOMMaiDATIONS - CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE
ACCEPTING TRUCKEE CROSSROADS WTER LINE
At 7:30 P.M., President Hubor opened the public hearing regarding the
Truckee Crossroads water line. She noted that Hr. Katt, one of the developers,
provided material for reviow by the Board anc consultants too late for adequate
3/2/81 pg. 2
study. Mr. Simon received the material at 4:30 P.M.; the Board and Mr. Cook
did not receive the material until arriving at the Board Meeting. She sug-
gested that the matter be tabled.
Although they had not yet arrived, District Counsel Simon noted it was
his understanding that both Mr. Katz and Dave Shields would be present at the
meeting.
k
I
Director Maass directed the Board's attention to the letter from the Fire
Marshall which did not include all the information requested by the Board.
Mr. Delaney's March 2nd correspondence stated that the TDPD will require a
minimum fire flow of 2,500 gallons per minute for the shopping center; it did
not acknowledge that water would be provided from the Deerfield line only, and
there would be no connection to the West River Street line at this time.
I
I
District Engineer Cook noted that, at this time, he could not recommend
acceptance of the Truckee Crossroads water line as he has not reviewed the
recently provided documents.
Director Maass moved, and Director Kuttol seconded, that the public hear-
ing be continued to the next meeting at 7:30 P.M. ROLL CALL: Duffy, absent;
all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED.
DON TOOMEY APPEARANCE
Don Toomey arrived at the meeting during discussion of the Truckee Cross-
roads water line. He indicated he had been requested to attend by the District.
It could not be determined whether or not such request by District staff had
been made. Gene Holt advised Mr. Toomey of the discussion which took place
earlier in the meeting during the Manager's Report having to do with a request
by the Mobile Home Park Manager for four electrical hookups.
After some discussion by the Board, it was determined that a physical in-
spection of the Donner Creek Mobile Home Park should be made. If the requested
connections are within the already existing Park, there is no problem; if the
requested connections are located in the area of the Park not yet approved by
the County, no meters will be set.
Mr. Toomey again expressed concern over being requested to attend this
meeting - he indicated attendance necessitated an early return from Utah.
ELIMINATION OF PRIVATE WATER SOURCES AND LINES WITHIN THE DISTRICT - REPORT
BY ENGINEER
District Engineer Cook noted that investigation of the elimination of
private water sources and lines had not yet been completed. The matter will
be carried over to the March 16th meeting agenda.
STATUS REPORTS - POSSIBLE ACTION
MARTIS VALLEY SUBSTATION
Mr. Cook referred to the R. W. Beck letter of February 23rd which indicat-
ed they had completed the review of the SPPCo work product for the Substation
and prepared a letter summarizing the results of the review. R. W. Beck is
proceeding expeditiously with the preparation of the necessary supplementary
information for incorporation into the Special Use Permit. The review of the
initial assessment has been completed and comments will be submitted to the
Board for consideration at the March 16th meeting. Mr. Cook further noted that
the parcel map has been recorded and County Counsel has provided an opinion that
will shorten the time-line by approximately six months. The Martis Valley Sub-
station should be operational by late fall of this year.
PROJECT 79-1, WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
Mr. Cook advised that he initiated the Southside Well No. operation and
pumped approximately 50,000 gallons to waste prior to taking the sample required
by the State Health Department and Farmers Home Administration. The results of
the chemical analysis will be in hand approximately March 5th. It is his un-
derstanding, he stated, that when the results have been received, all of the
conditions will have been met and the project may proceed.
3/2/81 pq. 3
BOCA-PROSSER HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT
Gene Holt reported that he today received notification from the Department
of Energy, Idaho Operations Office, that the District's application for a licens-
ing loan has been received and will be evaluated immediately. When the evalua-
tion is complete, a loan contract will be negotiated and signed providing the
application meets the requirements established in the regulations.
STAMPEDE DAM GENERATING FACILITIES
Mr. Holt advised that applications received in Washington D. C. after
February 12, 1981, are being held until status of the federal budget has
been determined. He indicated it was his understanding that the Department of
Energy's budget may be cut, but Tudor Engineering thinks funding may still be
available.
I
FRIANT HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT - RESOLUTION ENGAGING JAMES HANSEN AND ASSOCIATES
The Directors reviewed the draft resolution approving the employment con-
tract of James Hansen and Associates prepared by District Counsel Simon. As-
signment of other projects the Board may wish to designate on a work order
basis, each to be approved separately, was discussed and agreed upon by the
Board. Thereafter, Director Maass moved that the Board adopt Resolution No.
8121 approving the James Hansen and Associates' employment contract. Director
Kuttel seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Duffy, absent; all other Directors,
aye. SO MOVED.
Ken Peters of James Hansen and Associates was present in the audience
and suggested that either the Manager or a Director attend the Western Area
Power Association meeting being held at the Holidone in Sacramento tomorrow.
Mr. Holt agreed to attend to represent the District's interests.
TRUCKEE CROSSROADS WATER LINE
At this point in the meeting, approximately 8:05 P.M., Fred Katz, Dave
Shields and other representatives of Truckee Crossroads arrived at the meeting.
The Board advised of the action taken earlier in the meeting (that the public
hearing and consideration of the ordinance accepting the water lino had been
continued to 7:30 P.M. on March 16th, and the reason for such continuance).
Some discussion ensued with respect to the Truckee Fire Protection District's
letter which did not acknowledge that there would be no connection between the
Crossroads line and the West River Street line. It was Mr.Katz' contention
that all action requested by the Board had been completed.
I
After more discussion, Mr. Simon suggested that he and Mr. Cook meet with
the developers, attorneys and engineers for the shopping center. The meeting
was scheduled for tomorrow morning (March 3, 1981).
The Board directed that a special meeting be set for 7:00 P.M. on Monday,
March 9th, and that the public hearing be continued to that time. The Board
agreed that a resolution accepting the electrical easements for Truckee Cross-
roads could be considered at that time also.
CRITICALLY DEFICIENT SOUTHSIDE AREA - REVIEW OF RESPONSES IN OPPOSITION TO
RESOLUTION NO. 8109
Gene Holt made note of memoranda dated today prepared by Debi Black
which indicated there are 84 remaining connections in the critically de-
ficient Southside Area. Ms. Black outlined the action taken with respect to
existing applications for water service in the area and advised of the re-
sponses received. Copies of the memos have been attached to these minutes
for reference. She indicated that twelve applicants will receive a refund for
fees paid to date. Steps regarding refunds to the remaining five applications
have not yet been taken. She suggested the Board review responses from these
five applicants on an individual basis.
I
The F.i*rd agreed that refunds should be made to the remaining applicants
who are unable to meet the terms of Resolution No. 8109 by way of certified
mail. If the individuals desire, the Board will review the responses at a
Board Meeting after being properly noticed on the agenda.
3/2/81 pg. 4
TEMPORARY MOBILE OFFICE
Mr. Holt reported that work is progressing on the temporary mobile office
and should be completed within ten days.
I
Mira Shea of KTRT Radio Station was present in the audience and mentioned
that several people in the community have commented to her regarding the alleged
exorbitant cost of refurbishing the mobile office for short term use. Gene
Holt noted that, to date, cost of the repairs and remodeling is approximately
$30,000. Director Maass stated that the District will be able to recoup some
of the money expended on the mobile unit as the refurbishing has increased the
value. He anticipated that the unit would be used for five years; by that time,
the District probably will be rebuilding and be able to sell the temporary unit.
Furnishings purchased, of course, will be moved to the new District office.
I
OFFICE REMODELING
Mr. Cook advised that, essentially, he has completed the improvement plans
for the remodeling of the office and the related construction activities on the
warehouse. Cook Associates is presently preparing the specifications for the
total project. He anticipated tho plans and specifications will be available
at the March 16th meeting for review and possible approval.
PONDEROSA ESTATES - JOHN ROTH WELL
Bill Nork, Hydrologist, was in attendance and asked to address the Board
with respect to Ponderosa Estates and the well drilled by John Roth. He brief-
ly gave the history of the Roth well and indicated he had installed an electric
log after completion. He presented the log and a copy of the construction let-
ter to Dan Cook for review. He mentioned he would also copy Mr. Cook with the
drilling report.
Discussion ensued between the Board, Counsel, Engineer and Mr. Nork re-
specting methods of testing wells, draw down and possible effects of the Roth
well on nearby wells. Dan Cook advised that the environmental impact report
for the project has been completed, but a supplement is required respecting
the fault and its relationship to Prosser Dam Road.
Mr. Cook reported that a draft development agreement between the District
and Ponderosa Estates has been prepared and will be presented to District
Counsel for review. President Huber suggested that Bill Nork postpone further
work on the w:ll until the development agreement has been finalized and miti-
gation measures have been established. Dan Cook noted that well testing pro-
cedures will be included in the agreement. Mr. Nork invited the District to
participate in the testing.
District Engineer Cook commented that Nevada City Engineering (Roth's
consultants) has been very cooperative with respect to submittal of plans
and requested corrections.
It was decided that District Counsel Simon would correspond with Mr. Roth
with respect to finalizing the development agreement.
POSSIBLE DIRECTION RE TELEMETRY SYSTEM EVALUATION
I
The Board reviewed the list of electrical engineers and the draft request
for proposals prepared by Dan Cook. After some discussion, it was determined
that the person providing the telemetry system evaluation would be excluded
from doing work on the system. The request for proposals is to be changed
to include this provision.
Director Maass moved that the requests, as amended, be mailed and that we
ask that the proposals be received prior to April 6th. A small advertisement
is to be placed in the newspaper. Director Kuttel seconded the motion. SOLL
CALL: Duffy, absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED.
DIRECTION REGARDING EXTENSION OF DEADLINE FOR INSURANCE PROPOSALS
After brief review. Director Maass moved, and Director Kuttel seconded,
that the Board adopt Resolution No. 8122 extending the proposal opening date
for insurance. ROLL CALL: Duffy, absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED.
3/2/81 pg. 5
AUTHORIZATION TO MAKE LAIF TRANSFERS BY TELEPHONE
Mr. Holt explained the LAIF telephone transfer procedure and indicated
written confirmation would be received on a periodic basis. Provisions of
Resolution No. 8066, which stated that the President, Treasurer, Manager,
Office Manager or Deputy District Clerk shall be authorized to order the
deposit or withdrawal of monies, was discussed. Thereafter, Director Maass
moved that the Board adopt a resolution (#7823) authorizing the same officials
or employees designated in Resolution No. 8066 to make LAIF transfers by tele-
phono. Director Kuttel seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Duffy, absent; all
other Directors, aye. SO MOVED. District Counsel Simon will prepare the reso-
lution.
REVIEW OF WATER USE ORDINANCE - POSSIBLE DIRECTION RE SCHEDULING PUBLIC
HEARING ~
At Mr. Simon's request, the Chairman briefly explained the history behind
this proposed water use ordinance. District Counsel expressed concern over
setting forth District policy with respect to water use in ordinance form.
The Board briefly reviewed his memorandum and, after some discussion, decided
to consult Roy Hampson of the State Water Quality Control Board, Lahontan
Region, to discuss this matter. The item was put over to the March 16th
meeting.
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION AMENDING SECTION 14 OF THE BYLAWS
I
The Board reviewed the proposed resolution amending the section of the
Bylaws having to do with the taping of meetings and length of time tapes are
retained. The draft indicated tapes of the meetings will be kept in the Dis-
trict vault for a period of one year. Director Maass suggested that the tapes
be kept only until the minutes have been approved in final form and bound in
the minute book. District Counsel Simon was asked to check into whether or
not there are any legal requirements pertaining to tapes and the length of
time they should be retained and report at the next meeting.
Also discussed was whether the District should allow members of the pub-
lic to tape the meetings and if the District should allow copies to be made
of the PUD tapes. No action was taken.
I

PONDEROSA ESTATES JOHN ROTH
Director Maass reported that he has learned that an encroachment permit
has been submitted to Cal Trans by John Roth pertaining to the connection
of the District's water system. Mr. Cook noted that there is probably a re-
quest for a Special Use Permit from the U. S. Forest Service also.
Director Maass moved that District Counsel Simon contact John Roth for
additional information in order to complete the development agreement and
advise him that the District may take legal action if he does not comply;
