I COMMITTEE REPORTS President Huber informed the Board that she attended the July 17th Tahoe Donner Association Board meeting and, after explaining the anemometer program, obtained permission for the District to place test anemometers on existing PUD tanks located within the Tahoe Donner Subdivision. The Board directed General Manager Holt to contact the California Energy Commission with respect to proceeding with the anemometer loan program. I The Secretary was asked to request a copy of the July 17, 1981, Tahoe Donner Association Board meeting minutes. MANAGER'S REPORT Solar home monitoring by the State of California - Manager Holt advised that he had been contacted by the State of California with respect to monitoring a solar home located within the District. The State has already made arrangements with an individual to place a data logger in his solar home, and is asking that the District install the PUD meter at the same time. The Board was in agreement. Civil service disciplinary procedure - Gene Holt noted that he has presented what he feels to be a workable disciplinary procedure to Counsel for review as to compliance with Federal and State laws. Western Area Power Administration - Mr. Holt presented the Board with Guidelines and Acceptance Criteria on Customer Conservation and Renewable Energy Programs and the Suggested Reporting Formats for the WAPA programs (prepared by WAPA) for their inspection. Rules and Regulations - The General Manager provided the Board with a copy of the Elizabethton Rules and Regulations for comparison with the proposed TDPUD rules and regulations, a copy of the current PUD disconnect policy and copies of some of the existing State laws which are applicable. He suggested a future workshop session with the Board to review the proposed policy. Boca-Prosser hydroelectric - Mr. Holt advised of a recent telephone conversa- tion with representatives of Tudor Engineering in which they noted the Energy Commission has set aside one million dollars in funding for hydroelectric pro- jects. 7/20/81 pg. 1 SPECIAL BUSINESS CONSIDERATION OF JAMES HANSEN AND ASSOCIATES PROPOSALS Several Directors indicated to Ken Peters and Bob Barta, Hansen repre- sentatives present in the audience, that they were interested in discussing Hansen's proposal to provide engineering services for mapping the District electrical system. The Manager and Board discussed the District's need for a complete mapping system and the importance of updating the maps on a regular basis. Mr. Holt advised that there is a procedure for updating, and it will be used. He further noted that $15,000 was set aside in the budget for this service. I Discussion ensued as to whether or not this expenditure would require going through the bidding process. District Engineer Cook noted that, if the Board is asking for independent judgment and thought, it would not fall into the bidding requirement category under State laws. Director Maass moved that Counsel, the General Manager and the District Engineer meet and confer relative to this matter and make a recommendation as to whether to go with Hansen & Associates' proposal or go out to bid. A memo is to be written to the Board regarding this matter prior to the next Board meeting. Director Duffy expressed concern about an open-end contract, but thereafter seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Kuttel, absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED. With respect to Hansen's proposals to provide engineering services to determine the cost of a long-range power supply from coal-fired steam elec- tric plants and for analyzing geothermal in Northern Nevada and Northeastern California, Director Duffy moved that the Buard reject both proposals at this time. Director Maass seconded the ."notion. ROLL CALL: Kuttel, ibsent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE RESCINDING ORDINANCE NO. 8010 AND ESTABLISHING DISTRICT POLICY REGARDING THE AIRPORT WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN ANh .SERVICE TO PARCELS ON HIGHWAY 267 At 7:30 P.M., the Chairman opened the public hearing. The Board re- viewed the proposed ordinance relative to the Airport Water Transmission Main and service to parcels located along Highway 267, and District Counsel Simon's memorandum pertaining to the matter. The proposed ordinance contem- plates a moritorium on water service along the north side of Highway 267 un- til such a time as the Planning Commission has come to a conclusion regard- ing the construction of a frontage road and has properly designated all acreage. The Board's primary concern was that, because of the lack of County planning, it is extremely difficult to anticipate the utility services that will eventually be required. I Jeff Bordeline and Reg King, representing Martis Valley Meadows, spoke of their concerns regarding service to the proposed subdivision which will be located on Highway 267, approximately one half mile northwest of the Truckee Tahoe Airport (on the Placer/Nevada County line). It was their general opinion that the Board should examine the Martis Valley General Plan adopted in 1974 and plan utility service accordingly. Much discussion ensued as to the un- reliability of the General Plan caused by zoning changes and changes having to do with population density. During the course of the discussion, District Engineer Cook noted that the Airport pipeline cannot serve fire flow to Mar- tis Valley Meadows. I Charles White, member of the Airport District Board but speaking as a private citizen, noted that, as yet, the Truckee Tahoe Airport District has not adopted a master plan; it was his understanding that the County is favor- ing an Airport frontage road. He advised that the Airport Board will be dis- cussing the master plan at the next meeting which will be held at 9:00 A.M., Thursday, July 23rd. Director Maass indicated that he would attend the meet- ing. 7/20/81 pg. 2 Director Masss moved to continue the public hearing to the next regular meeting. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. I Director Duffy noted that he felt the local Districts responsible for providing services in the irea should join together and express their con- cerns over the planning in the Martis Valley vicinity. At 8:50 P.M., President Huber continued the public hearing to the next meeting, August 3, 1981, at 7:30 P.M. Director Duffy moved that the Board direct the District Engineer to draft a letter to the Nevada County Board of Supervisors noting specific con- cerns over the planning in the Martis Valley area and requesting em appearance to discuss the issue. Director Maass seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Kuttel, absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED. I I MARTIS VALLEY MEADOWS The Chairman requested that District Engineer Cook write to the Planning Commission expressing the District's concerns over the inadequacy of the Martis Valley Meadows environmental impact report. RESOLUTION RESPECTING THE PROPOSED ALLOCATION PLAN OF THE WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION; POSSIBLE ADOPTION Robert Barta of Hanson and Associates advised that he attended the West- ern Area Power Administration meeting held on July 14, 1981, and presented a summary of that meeting to the Directors. He noted that July 2?th is the dead- line set by WAPA for receiving comments on the proposed allocation plan. After review of the proposed resolution, Director Maass moved that the Board adopt Resolution No. 8156 commending the Western Area Power Administra- tion proposed allocation plan of July 2, 1981, and finding it to be equitable, fair and responsive to the needs of concerned entities with the following ad- dition to the second resolve clause: "...fair and responsive to the needs of all concerned entities presented to the District up to this time." Director Corbett seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Kuttel, absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED. President Huber indicated she would prepare a transmittal letter to forward a copy of the resolution to the Western Area Power Administration. Relative to consultant costs, Director Maass moved that the Board auth- orize Hansen and Associates to finish up the request for an allocation from the Western Area Power Administration for the District at an amount not to exceed $2,000. Director Corbett seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Kuttel, absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION PERMITTING AN ENCROACHMENT - GENE THOMPSON Mr. and Mrs. Thompson were present in the audience, and Mr. Thompson explained the situation to the Board. Their home is located on Cedar Point Drive at Donner Lake. The property has only a 45 foot access with the utility easement cutting directly through the only possible area in which to build a garage. The General Foreman has reported that the proposed infringement will in no way interfere with or restrict the operation or maintenance of the Dis- trict's facilities within the easement. The portion of the building roof the line will be crossing will be in excess of twenty feet below one phase; GO-95 requires a minimum clearance of twelve feet over a structure upon which a person can walk. After some discussion, Director Maass moved that the Board direct Mr. Simon to prepare a hold harmless certificate for the Thompsons to execute with any legal fees incurred to be borne by the Thompsons. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson agreed. Director Corbett seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Kuttel, absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED. 7/20/81 pg. 3 SPECIAL BUSINESS CONSIDERATION OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT - PONDEROSA ESTATES During discussion of this item, at approximately J:40 P.M., Director Corbett left the meeting, as he was not feeling well. He indicated he would remain in the building in the event that his presence was required. With respect to the proposed development agreement between the Dis- trict and Mssrs. Roth and Payne, Mr. Simon indicated Mr. Payne's attorney had contacted him and asked for an opportunity to review the document, as he is a principal in the partnership contemplating the development. I Some of the Directors asked for additional facts to be stated in the agreement - that construction has taken place without Board approval, that advertising noted water service would be provided by the PUD prior to a com- mitment by the District, that the well had been drilled without District approval or inspection, and that clearing of the tank site had been started prior to authorization. Relating to the developer's construction and payment obligations re- cited in the proposed agreement, it was noted that Section A, Item 7 re- lating to the well will have to be rewritten. Section A, Item 9 is to in- clude a provision relating to the proper abandonment in accordance with District standards of the Prosser Well. Section B, Item J4, the insurance amount should be corrected to the present amount of coverage held by the District. Throughout the agreement whenever inspection of construction is concerned, "from time to time" is to be changed to "100% of the time." John Roth, present in the audience, indicated he agreed with these changes and additions to the agreement. Bill Nork and Peter Sinclair, Hydrogeologists testing the Ponderosa Estates well, were present and volunteered to answer questions concerning the well which was drilled without benefit of District approval or inspec- tion. It was Mr. Nork's opinion that, basically, the well, as drilled, is adequate for the Ponderosa Estates development although he could not speak to the manner in which it was drilled or sealed and whether or not District standards have been met. Mr. Nork indicated the well would have a negligible affect on nearby domestic wells. I CLOSED SESSION After some discussion, the Board adjourned to closed session it 10:05 P.M. to discuss the legal aspects of the Ponderosa Estates development agree- ment . RETURN TO PUBLIC SESSION The meeting was reconvened to public session at 10.-JO P.M. District Engineer Cook noted that the Ponderosa Estates Well, as con- structed, does not meet the District standards. Director Maass moved that the Board reject the Ponderosa Estates Well and order that a new well be built in conformance with Paragraph 7 of the pro- posed development agreement (which is to be rewritten by District Counsel); further, that Counsel prepare findings in resolution form that are consistent with District Engineer Cook's statement for consideration by the Board at the next meeting. Director Duffy seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Kuttel and Co 'lett, absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED. I '■ !.kL BUSINESS MONITORING WELL RELATIVE TO TTSA EXPANSION - DENDY & ASSOCIATES REPORT By consensus, the Board directed that a letter be prepared by the Vice President requesting that Dendy and Associates proceed forthwith with de- termining a monitoring well site since the TTSA expansion has been approved. 7/20/81 pg. 4 REVIEW OF PROPOSED WATER USE POLICY; POSSIBLE DIRECTION Mr. Simon indicated he would copy the proposed water use policy to the Board with Mr. Cook's revisions and corrections prior to the next regular Board meeting. i" I DISCUSSION ON OPTIONS FOR SUPPLYING DISTRICT POWER IN THE FUTURE; POSSIBLE DIRECTION This item, originally requested by Director Duffy, was tabled at his request. STATUS REPORT - POSSIBLE ACTION AND/OR DIRECTION - WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS - PROJECT 79-1 District Engineer Cook reported that Project 79-1 is progressing very slowly. He expressed concern about the contractor's ability to finish the project by the November deadline. To date, Mr. Cook noted, Knudsen is work- ing on the easy part o" the total effort and has been able to complete less than one half of ';he anticipated work. Mr. Cook will apply pressure in hopes that the contractor wil. accellerate work. STATUS REPORT - MARTIS VALLEY SUBSTATION Regarding the most current statement submitted by R. W. Beck and Assoc- iates for engineering services for the proposed Martis Valley Substation, Director Haass moved that the Board direct Mr. Holt to request Peter Collet's presence at the next Board meeting. He is to bring with him the completed site grading, foundation design, electrical grounding and construction plans, and also be prepared to explain Beck's most recent charge. BILLS FOR BOARD APPROVAL I Director Duffy requested that James Hansen and Associates' bill be listed separately on the next agenda for discussion and consideration by the Board. STATUS REPORT - CIVIL SERVICE PROCEDURE - DISCIPLINARY ACTION PROCEDURE This matter was reported upon by the Manager earlier in the meeting (Manager's Report). STATUS REPORT - BOCA PROSSER HYDROELECTRIC President Huber noted the attempts to have these projects placed back into Senate Bill 306; if they are not included, there is the possibility of funding through the Department of Energy. At this point in time, the Board has adopted a "wait and see" attitude. CONSIDERATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND POSSIBLE AWARD OF COMPUTER BID Director Corbett returned to the meeting during discussion of the item at approximately 10:50 P.M. I General Manager Holt advised that a representative of Arthur Andersen and Company would be present at the August 3rd meeting to present that company's analysis of the bids received by the District. Mr. Holt suggested, and by con- sensus the Board agreed, that he, the Office Manager and Computer Operator should visit utilities with operating computer systems in Klickitat, Washington, and Roseberg, Oregon. Director Maass indicated his desire that all bids received be analyzed in a report for Board review. He went on to express his grave concern over two letters received from bidders which led the Board to believe the District's Office Manager had advised that their bids would not be considered. He read into the record the letter from Burroughts Corporation which stated they had been informed the District had narrowed the computer decision down to three vendors, Digital, Oregon Computers, and Info-Comp. (A copy of Burrough' July 7, 1981, letter has been attached to these minutes for reference.) After some discussion relating to possible improper action on the part of an employee speaking on behalf of the Board without authorization, and the possibility of having to reissue a call for bids due to irregularities. Director Maass moved that the Chairman write a letter to all bidders stating that all bids 7/20/81 pg. 5 are still being considered for possible award on August 3rd. Bidders not h iving submitted a supplementary information sheet are to be asked to do so. director Duffy seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Kuttel, absent; all other directors, aye. SO MOVED. The Board directed that staff have no further contact with the bidders. C3NSIDERATION OF USING THE RADIO AS A MEANS OF ADVERTISING AND NOTICING THE F'JBLIC OF PUD ITEMS OF "INTEREST President Huber noted receipt of a letter from Mira Shea, owner of KTRT radio station, earlier in the meeting. Ms. Shea asked that the matter be put aver to the next regular meeting for consideration.

CONSIDERATION OF $5,500 PAYMENT FOR UPSIZING WATER MAIN CONSTRUCTED BY NORTH- BILT ON WEST RIVER STREET Mr. Simon advised that, as yet, he has not received the executed re- ".eise of mechanics lien prepared by his office for Northbilt. The matter was put over until such time as the document is received. F ...K.EST FOR ENCROACHMENT - MRS. RAMONA G. JEFFERSON Mrs. Jefferson's request to place < six foot redwood fence around her hame in Sierra Meadows was reviewed by the Board. It was determined that the District has no objection to placement of a fence, and Counsel was directed ta notify Mrs. Jefferson. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACCEPTANCE OF AIRPORT FACILITIES/NORTHSIDE PUMP STATION I District Engineer Cook recomir Lime as there are several items ron -.jted that the start-up of the Airp ful. mded that no action be taken at this lining to be completed by Dart.

Telemetry - Staffing and Operations - Mr. Cook noted that the follow-up staff meeting to develop specific benefit cost ratios for the many facets intertwined within the telemetry problem has been scheduled for Wednesday, July 22nd, at 10:00 A.M. Placer County Annexations - Placer County LAFCo approved the Martiswoods/Sierra Pines and the Ponderosa Ranchos Annexations on July 7, 1981. Placer County is now processing both annexations through the State Board of Equalization for recording. I Water Production - District Engineer Cook stated that Town System use is up by 72% compared to last year; by comparison the Tahoe Donner Service Area is up by 11% compared to last year. The elimination of the losses and excess uses is, Mr. Cook rex^orted, increasingly important from a cost and total source viewpoint. The losses appear to exceed the total yield of Southside sources, or about half of the yield of the Airport Well. Loftis Industries - Best Western Motel - The July 17, 1981, letter from Gary Sivley of Loftis Industries requesting permission to use the Airport Water Transmission Line for consumptive use was discussed by the Board. District Engineer Cook noted that the developers are unable to complete plans for the project until direction is given by the Board with respect to water lines. Director Maass moved, and Director Duffy seconded, that the Board auth- orize consumptive witer use off the 14" line (to Loftis Industries' project from the Airport Transmission Line). ROLL CALL: Kuttel, absent; Huber, ab- stain; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED. Martis Valley With respect to the Martis Valley Meadows environmental impact report, Dan Cook indicated he would correspond with the County and copy the Board. DISTRICT COUNSEL'S REPORT I Phil Notz - Alpine Deli - With respect to Mr. Notz' request for a variance to place a propane tank closer to the property owned by the District than allowed by County regulations, Mr. Simon reported that he contacted the Truckee Fire Protection District. That District has no objections as long as there is no construction on the PUD property. Unuseable fire hydrant on West River Street owned by Oliver Henrikson - District Engineer Cook advised that Mr. Henrikson's fire hydrant is located on the County right-of-way. The Board directed that the fire hydrant be removed, that Mr. Henrikson be billed for the time involved in removing the hydrant, and that Mr. Henrikson be notified that he may pick up the hydrant at the District office. Projsct 77-1 - Roen Construction Company - District Counsel Simon noted he had received a letter from Roen Construction Company stating that company knows of no work yet to complete on the project. He advised he would again write to Roen and identify the work before further action is taken. Relative to TDPUD vs. Roen et al (destruction of the Southside Well No. 2 building), there has been no action. 7/20/61 pg. 7 Truckee Crossroads - A letter has been written by Fred Katz stating that, in his opinion, the metering problem having to do with the shops has been resolved. This was not the District Engineer's opinion. After some discussion. Director Maass moved that the Board direct Dan Cook to advise Mr. Katz and the individual shop owners that, if the metering problem with the shops is not corrected to the District's satisfaction within 30 days of the date of his letter, all service will be shut off. Director Duffy seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Kuttel, absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED. CORRESPONDENCE I Director Corbstt left the meeting at this point, 11:37 P.M. Donner View Subdivision - District Engineer Cook advised the Board that the District's General Foreman has resolved the access problem relative to the proposed Donner View Subdivision with the owner. I.. J. Young - Relating to the area variance application of Lawrence J. Young proposing to reduce the required setback, it was noted the General Foreman indicated the proposed construction will not interfere with existing or future lines in the area. Director Maass asked that, in the future, employees of the District not advise individuals of their opinions prior to Board review and decision. Deatsch request for abandonment of lot line easement - It was noted that when William Deatsch built his home several years ago, he located the building with- in one foot of the property line and over four feet of the public utility ease- ment in error. Until recently, Mr. Deatsch owned both lots. Whun the home was constructed on Lot 227, it was positioned on the lot to meet County set- back requirements, and lot lines were adjusted. District Engineer Cook recom- mended a boundary line adjustment rather than abandonment of the lot line ease- ment. The Secretary was asked to draft a resolution stating the District would permit an encroachment of the existing building for consideration by the Board at the next meeting. Passive Solar Symposium - President Huber advised the Board of the upcoming passive solar symposium. None of the Board members were interested in at- tending. I Sierra Pacific Power Company refund - Relating to the Sierra Pacific Power Company refund in the amount of $301.91 having to do with gas used in its steam electric generation plants during the period October 1979 through June 1980, authorization to transfer the amount to the Martis Valley Substa- tion restricted fund is to be placed on the next agenda for consideration. Jerry Smeltzer - Popovich agreement - Respecting a request made by Jerry Smeltzer having to do with building restrictions outlined in the Popovich - TDPUD agreement of 1962, the Board asked District Counsel Simon to provide the appropriate response. Logo - President Huber mentioned that a letter from the majority of employees had been received asking that the Board consider using a more business-like form of the selected logo for official documents, letterhead, disconnect notices, etc. After brief discussion by the Board, the Manager was instructed to handle the matter at his discretion. PLANNING DEPARTMENT NOTICES Richard Racich - Respecting the Placer County Planning Department's notice for a public hearing to consider granting Richard Racich a conditional use permit, the Board authorized District Engineer Cook to respond. He is to ad- vise Placer County that the District is presently in the process of deter- mining how the subject area will be served. The property is located at High- way 267 and Truckee Tahoe Airport Road in the Martis Valley area. Meadow Lake Park Tract - The District has received a letter from the Nevada County Department of Public Works requesting that the District approve certain I 7/20/81 pg. 8 I I County documents necessary for right of way dedications in the Meadow Lake Park Tract. The County's letter noted that a portion of Forest Lane, westerly of Meadow Way, would be rejected by the County as the parcel has been re- quested to be abandoned by the adjacent owners because of a building encroach- ment (Koepf and Lange). After some discussion, Director Maass moved that the Board authorize the President to write to the County informing them that, with respect to the portion of Forest Lane westerly of Meadow Way, the District is not interested in an abandonment. SO MOVED BY BOARD CONSENSUS. Truckee Crossroads - FHK - Note was made of the proposed Truckee Crossroads expansion, and the Board advised that another development agreement would be necessary. District Engineer Cook stated that water and power facilities were installed along with the initial construction, and they are adequately sized. Mr. Cook will write and inform them of the necessary agreement. J S M Properties - Mention was made of the proposed condominium units in Unit 2 of Tahoe Donner by J S M Properties. (The standard advice letter will be prepared by staff.) Pierre Scott - Respecting Pierre Scott's proposed development on the south side of Donner Lake, the Board determined there would be no problem with serving electricity, but mentioned the fact that the project is located in an avalanche zone.
