Subject: Monthly report
______________________________________________________________________
1. Donner Lake water system condemnation: The greatest amount of my time during
the past month has been spent on preparation for the Donner Lake water system trial. I
have sat in on the depositions, participated in the settlement conference and discussed
the matter in detail with our attorneys. This issue will continue to take much of my time
until it is resolved.
2. MOU renegotiations with IBEW Local 1245: Another matter that takes my time is
meeting with the Union to renegotiate the terms of the MOU. We are close to a final
package that I can submit to the Board for consideration. I hope to do that late in April.
3. Discussion of Mello-Roos: I have had further discussions with John Murphy
regarding a possible reimbursement agreement to be entered into by the District and
East West Partners to begin the process of evaluating formation of a Mello-Roos District.
I hope to submit this to the Board in April for your review and possible approval.
4. Financing of IDACORP contract: I have spent much time on the financing of the
$26 million COP related to termination of the IDACORP contract. It is moving along on
time to make the necessary payment on April 3, 2003.
5. Finance Master Plan: Mary and I are reviewing a preliminary draft of the Finance
Master Plan. We hope to submit this to the board in April. We will begin to work on a
supplemental budget for 2003 at the same time.
6. Broadband business plan: I spent time recently working with Alan Harry and Rick
Kaufman on a financing plan for the Broadband system. Decision points will come to the
Board quickly now as we resolve the last of the critical items.
