Engineering Consultant Keith Knibb; Attorney Steve Gross. OTHERS PRESENT: Don Dane and Tom Green of NCPA. PUBLIC INPUT There was no public input. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE INCREASING WATER RATES The Board discussed a proposed water rate increase at several previous meetings and held a public hearing on the matter at the last regular meeting. If passed, the ordinance will increase water rates by 75 cents per month for each residential customer and a comparable percentage for each commercial customer. Director Maass moved, and Director Aguera seconded, that the Board adopt Ordinance No. 9603 establishing water rates. ROLL CALL: all Directors, aye. SO ORDAINED. CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION DISPENSING WITH COMPETITIVE BIDDING AND AUTHORIZING STAFF TO NEGOTIATE FOR THE PURCHASE OF A USED LOADER Staff believes that the District can save money and do a better job of snow removal if a used loader is purchased. Now that the town is using contract firms to plow streets, they're so busy that we can't rely on them to respond early and often during storms. Staff needs to access facilities during storms, so they need to be kept clear of snow continually to be able to remain productive. Director Maass moved that the Board adopt Resolution No. 9637 directing that competitive bidding be dispensed with in connection with the District's purchase of a used loader. Further, if an appropriate used loader can't be located, that staff come back to the Board with a request for approval of the purchase of a new loader. The motion was seconded by Director Aguera. ROLL CALL:Aguera, Jones, Maass and Hemig, aye; Sutton, no. SO RESOLVED, 12118/96 Page 1 CONSIDERATION OF DETERMINING THE DATE OF THE FIRST REGULAR BOARD MEETING IN JANUARY 1997 January 1, 1997 is the first Wednesday of January. District bylaws state that if a scheduled Board meeting falls on a legal holiday, then the meeting shall be held at 7:00 PM on a date to be determined by the Board. The town holds its meetings on the first and third Thursdays of the month, so they are scheduled to use the Board room on January 2, but they've agreed to move to another location if necessary. Director Maass moved, and Director Aguera seconded, that the Board meeting be scheduled for January 2 in one of the District's conference rooms and that the location change be appropriately noticed. DOLL CALL: all Directors, aye. SO MOVED. DISCUSSION OF UTILIZATION OF NCPA SERVICES TO ACQUIRE FUTURE WHOLESALE POWER SUPPLYAND RELATE© SERVICES Done Dame and Tom Green of the Northem California Power Agency attended the meeting and described how NCPA can serve the District's wholesale power needs in the future. They reviewed TDPUD's several disputes with SPPCo regarding transmission access, FERC Order 888, SPPCo's compliance filing and the District's intervention. They described NCPA's desire to enter into an agreement to provide network resources to TDPUD. The Directors asked several questions and then requested NCPA to prepare a proposed agreement for consideration at the next Board meeting. DISCUSSION OF A DRAFT PUBLIC INFORMATION PROGRAM This matter was postponed until the next meeting. DISCUSSION OF WATER AND ELECTRIC FACILITIES FEES Keith Knibb presented a draft report to the Board describing options for dealing with water facilities fees. This meeting was a repeat of the last discussion of water facilities fees because two Directors were unable to attend that earlier meeting. After considerable discussion, the Board asked staff to prepare a report using the global approach and return to the next meeting with an action item for the Board's consideration. MONTHLY STAFF REPORTS The monthly staff reports were reviewed and there were no questions. ADJOURNMENT There being no rther basin before the Board, the meeting was adjourned.

PURCHASE O USED ,� OADBi WHEREAS, the District has determined that the acquisition of a loader would benefit its operation; and WHEREAS, purchase of a used loader in good and reliable working order would be more cost effective that purchasing a new piece of equipment; and WHEREAS, the loader must meet the reliability criteria and demonstrate a long term value to the District in terms of functionality, performance, and expendability,• and WHEREAS, the following factors are relevant to the decision to purchase a used loader.initial cost, age, condition, delivery schedule, conditions of warranty; and WHEREAS, there are so many factors that determine the condition of a used loader and the condition, in turn, determines the fair price and, therefore, it is necessary to review the purchase of a used loader on a case-by-case basis using judgement and flexibility rather than written specifications; and WHEREAS Public Utilities Code Section 20206.4 generally requires that the District seek competitive bids in connection with the purchase of goods and equipment; and WHEREAS, various California court decisions, including Graydon v. Pasadena Development Aaenc, 104 Cai.App.3d 631 (1980), hold that if the subject of a contract is such that competitive proposals would be unavailing or would not produce an advantage and the advertisement for competitive bids would thus be undesirable or impractical, a public agency may dispense with competitive bidding, and WHEREAS, due to the facts set forth above, competitive bidding would be unavailing and would not produce an advantage to the District, and the advertising for competitive bids would not produce an advantage to the District and would be undesirable; and WHEREAS, the District has determined that, due to the numerous important factors in the acquisition of a used piece of equipment, it is in the District's best interest to investigate used loaders meeting the District's specifications that are advertised for sale, including price, but without price being the controlling factor; . NOW,, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors adopts the above recitals as its findings; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Board of Directors that, for the reasons set forth above, the District finds that competitive bidding for a used loader would be unavailing and would not produce an advantage to the District and the advertisement for competitive bids would not produce an advantage to the District and would be undesirable. BE lT FURTHER RESOLVED that the District shall therefore dispense with competitive bidding for the acquisition of a used loader and that District staff is hereby authorized to purchase a used loader after negotiating with the seller of the equipment best suited to the District's needs and as set forth above.

Budget: I have spent a great deal of time during the past month on budget matters, first preparing the draft 1997 budget and, more recently, preparing to implement the adopted budget. 2. Water Superintendent I am proceeding with the Water Superintendent recruitment process. We have sent out a questionnaire to all applicants. Today, Friday the 13th, is the deadline to receive the questionnaires back. I will now begin to screen the resumes and questionnaires with help from a staff committee, and choose six or eight candidates to interview. 3. FFRC and power supply.• The biggest issue I am dealing with at this time is arranging for our future power supply. 1 am working with Bob McDiarmid„ Lisa Dowden, Tom Green of NCPA, Whit Russell, and Steve Hollabaugh. During the workshop of December 18, 1996 we will fully discuss with the Directors what is happening regarding this critical issue. 4. NCPA: I am continuing to work with the other utility general managers who are members of NCPA to help restructure that organization to deal with deregulation. I am now spending approximately two days per month in Roseville participating in NCPA related activities. 5. Water debt refinancing: During the past month we completed the refinancing of water system debt. I recently cleaned mountains of draft water refinancing documents from my office so I can now move on to other pressing issues. 6. Customer communications: In preparation for the December 18th workshop 1 have been working with Scott Terrell on the customer communication program. Scott and I are reading a report published by the American Management Association entitled "Beyond Customer Satisfaction to Customer Loyalty"to determine if it might be an appropriate guide for our efforts. We will share more with you about that in the near future. PLH/smc F REP December 12, 7996 TO: gaerd of.Directors. f`ROM. Kathy fVeus, uppert Services ffanagor . SU$,1€C November staff`report Af METER READERS 1. Meter Readers are current in their readings. The weather hasn't been a problem yet, but I'm sure as soon as the snow falls times will change. It will also give us a chance to check out the devices and see how well they work in the weather. 2. There were 9,657 meters read for the month of November; 307 service reports completed and 170 48 hour/1013 non-payment notices delivered. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving there were 72 service reports alone. The Water Crew was enlisted to help for that day. BUILDING AND GROUNDS MAINTENANCE 1. It's been "management by crisis"again. There have been some new leaks in the building in areas that haven't had problems before. 2. The yard is ready and storm damage material has been brought inside....So, bring on the snow. 3. Sam Re is still learning his way around the building. The Fire Department did a walk through of the building with Sam leading the way and that helped a little. PURCHASING AND WAREHOUSING 1. Sue is doing a wonderful job in the buyer/clerk position. She has a real eye for detail and is picking things up quickly. 2. With the change in the weather, buying has slowed down to a crawl allowing us time to try to catch up on the warehousing and some paperwork that was set aside for a rainy day. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE 1. Tom continues to keep busy. The new foreman's truck was delivered at the end of November and he's been working to put it in service. 2. Tom completed 15 preventative maintenances, four bit inspections and three miscellaneous repairs. KN/smc STAFF REPORT December 9, 1996 To: Board of Directors From: Bob Quinn, Electric Superintendent Subject November Activity Report AGENDA ITEM November found the crews of the electric department working on several development projects, maintenance tasks, and a major master plan project. The following projects were worked on.- Service to a Glenshire Water Co. well was installed and energized. This project began this past summer and was finally completed after the customer completed his required electrical work necessary for the final installation of our facilities. The railroad added facilities along Glenshire Rdd which required the installation of a primary underground feed and padmount transfomter. This was completed and the new service energized The new Alpine Apartments, located in the Meadow Park area and under construction, required the installation of three padmount transfom7ers and the associated primary underground feeds to each. One service and meter was installed at this time for construction with the remaining services to be installed sometime in early 1997 Crews worked in Tahoe Danner re-sagging primary lines in the Weishom area. Again in Tahoe Donner, crews worked to clear G.D.95 infractions along Stockholm. This project was not completed and will continue as priorities allow. The new Martis #3 circuit was completed after several years of work by both contactor and TDPUD caws. On November 12th, load was placed on the new underground circuit and the overhead lines crossing over the Truckee River from Hilltop to East River Street were removed This was a major project extending over a long period of time and it is a relief to have it finally completed The substation technician and the electrical technician continued to install facilities within the substations for the new SCADA system. We are on schedule with this project, and with help from staff of NCPA, should be on line by early february. The service crew completed 25 service orders and responded to 94 underground service alerts. The USA's dropped considerably with the shutdown of S.W.Gas for the year: Bob, During November, the District saved$1,977.89 by buying energy from NCPA. The year to date savings is $93,646.14. Below is a brief outline of the energy the District purchased from NCPA for the 1996 Months through November and Year to Date. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Since most of these projects are ongoing, Staff continues to report the basic information and highlights the activities that have occurred during the reporting month. When a project or activity is completed it is reported, then deleted from this report. Strategic Planning/District $Savings Business Customer Key Accounts Program- Staff is finalizing the development of a Key Account Management Program proposal. This newly developed program will be designed to foster a positive, open line of communication with our business customers and determine how they feel about TDPUD's service and how they see working with TDPUD in the future. This program will be tied into a marketing program for TDPUD. The goal of the program is customer satisfaction and retention. TDPUD Staff will be looking at the possibility of developing a Time-of-Use rate for TTSA. TDPUD Competition Plan- Staff is planning to prepare a report about the different utility issues we are currently being challenged by. The report will Include a discussion of the different approaches TDPUD can take to meet these challenges as well as an analysis and recommendations to respond to competition. This comprehensive report is being postponed until the evaluation results of the GSHP pilot, the large Business Customer meetings and other competition related projects and issues are available. Energy/Water Showcase Program- TDPUD Staff, Sauer's Engineering and Sandel-Avery Engineering have provided their final comments to HDR Engineering on the energy- efficiency TDPUD water system report. Once we receive the final report in December we can decide whether the water system control strategy as well as other options may be worth implementing based on their cost-effectiveness to the District. TDPUD GSHP Cost/Economic Study- A study to determine the cost-effectiveness of installing GSHPs into the TDPUD building for heating and cooling has been completed by the Davis Energy Group. Staff has asked DEG to also provide a life-cycle costing analysis on the project in addition to the simple payback analysis. The report indicates that TDPUD can benefit by using GSHP in the building and also act as a community GSHP demonstration project along with the pilot sites. Conservation/DSMIEconomic Development Ground Source Heat Pump Pilot Site Activity- Nine GSHP pilot site units are currently in operation. A tenth site Is partially completed in Glenshire. This final pilot site will be completed in Spring as a result of some minimal damage to the heat exchangers. Is Truckee Community GSHP Pilot Project Monitoring- The monitoring stations for the . Truckee GSHP pilot program have been installed at the five designated pilot sites. There are still a few data collection items needed to be installed(i.e flow meters). The preliminary research findings will be completed by the Spring of 1997. GSHP Bulk Purchase & Installation Program- There are currently about seventy-five potentially interested participants, determined based on their filling out an interest form. Staff will be working to try to identify the actual number of potential participants seriously interested in going forward with the program. The next meeting is scheduled for December 10. There is a GSHP BP & I Core Group planning meeting scheduled for December 3. CFIA Demonstration Project- Staff has been in contact with Professor Samuel Sami of Moneton University in Canada regarding his testing of a Combined Cycle Fully Integrated Air/Air Heat Pump(CFIA). Tests so far have shown that it has comparable performance benefits of GSHPs without the cost of a ground loop. Staff has developed a CFIA mini-pilot draft proposal and a draft confidentiality agreement. These documents are currently being reviewed. GSHP/Water Heater Promotion- Staff is working toward getting the Truckee GSHP pilot monitoring program in place so that we will have data available to perform an analysis of the benefits and costs of using GSHPs in Truckee. The results of this study will be used to determine GSHP's role in TDPUD's Strategic Plan. A draft proposal has been developed to promote the benefits of high efficiency electric water heating to TDPUD customers. Energy Surveys/High Bill Assistance- Staff completed 0 commercial and 2 residential energy survey(s) this month. Staff also responded on-site to 1 "high" bill complaints). Communications/Public Relations/Education Newsletter- The Winter Current Issues newsletter is currently being discussed. The focus of this newsletter is planned to be deregulation. The newsletter is planned for distribution in January/February, Public Information Plan- Staff along with A.D. Marketing and Creative Concepts is currently developing a Public Information Plan for 1997. Staff anticipates presenting the proposed public information plan to the Board in December or January. Business & Energy Efficiency Partnership- The incorporation of energy and water efficiency measures are expected to be retrofitted into the Chamber building by the end of 1997. Currently about 85% of these measures are installed. As soon as all the proposed measures are installed, Staff will finalize and print the Chamber building energy and water efficiency measures self-guided tour brochure. The finished brochure may be disseminated to all customers as a bill stuffer. The Partnership is designed to foster economic development in Truckee by promoting local businesses products and services as well as give customers information on lowering their energy bills. The Chamber Partnership project is also designed to encourage local groups and clubs to tour the facility. TDPUD Staff is available for guided tours. CA GEO-Heat Pump Show- TDPUD, Sierra Pacific and the Geothermal Resources Association out of Davis, CA will be pursuing tying a GSHP section into the Truckee Home & Building Show scheduled for May, 1997. Sierra Nevada Children's Museum- SNCM Staff has asked TDPUD to participate in their Mountain Home Construction Display, TDPUD Staff has offered to assist the project with energy, water conservation and ground source heat pump information including display assistance. In addition, TDPUD Staff has offered to provide home energy surveys for interested customers and educate their kids at the same time. Staff also plans to integrate tours of the Chamber's energy and water-efficient building and grounds along with GSHP pilot sites into the "program". Community/Statewide Involvement Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee- Working with other businesses in reviewing: the Downtown Specific Plan, Business Questionnaire, Doing Business in Truckee Guide, ect. Staff attended the November 5 EDC meeting. Tahoe-Forest Hospital Healthy City Committee- Working with other agencies and community groups in the development of a Healthy City Plan for Truckee.

The Committee is currently evaluating different options for mitigating the PM 2.5/10 problem in Truckee. GSHPs are one of the options being considered. The end result of the Committee's efforts will be to recommend mitigation efforts to reduce PM 2.5/10(particulate matter <2.5 and/or 10 microns) in Truckee. The two main causes of PM 2.5/10 in Truckee are road sand dust and burned particulate matter from wood burning. Train emissions from the railroad merger will be another problem source. The railroad is providing the Town of Truckee with $300,000 to help solve this problem. Northern California Power Agency Member Services Task Force- A meeting was not scheduled for November. California Municipal Utilities Association Energy Services and Marketing Committee- This Committee meets quarterly and is expected to meet next in January.
