Craig Deputy District Clerk post Office Box 309 11579 on nor Pass Road IR Truckee, California 96160 LFFU STAFF :REPORT March '17, 953 T(3: Board of l3irectors FROM, Deter t. Nolzmeister, General Manager SUBJECT: Monthly.Manager's Report Following is a report of my activities during the past month. 1. Truckee River Operating Agreement: Pat Sutton and l continue to participate in the Truckee River Basin Advisory Group meetings. The group meets twice each month and there are occasional committee meetings. The time commitment has grown, but the issues this group is dealing with are important to Truckee's future water supply. The group is discussing the future use of California's 10,000 acre foot surface water allocation. There is some interest among some members of the group to use that water to maintain levels of Boca, Stampede, and Prosser Lakes as a means to enhance the recreation economy of the area. l am arguing in favor of using that water for groundwater basin recharge, should that need arise. I will keep you posted as we move through the issues. 2. Wholesale Power Supply. I am still spending time on power supply issues, although 1 am shifting from discussions with Sierra Pacific to discussions with other power suppliers. 1 have been talking with Tom Green of NCPA about arrangements to purchase power from that group. As you may recall, if we can purchase energy from any supplier and have it delivered to the SPPCo system for less than $0.021 per kilowatt-hour, we will save additional dollars for our rate payers. NCPA staff feels confident that we can purchase energy from the NCPA pool at a savings for much of the year. My next step in the process is to detennine the costs, obligations and benefits of becoming a member of the NCPA pool. 3. Gooseneck Ranch: I am also spending time on Gooseneck Ranch issues. l met with Keith Sauers, Mike Connell, Ron Parr and Jim Gee to discuss details of the water system that Gooseneck developers would be required to build. There are periodic internal discussions among staff regarding the Gooseneck Ranch development. 4. IBFW 1 am still in the process of negotiating a new memorandum of understanding with the employee union. This issue can take up considerable time, especially with the variety of issues that are on the table. I am at a point where l need to have a discussion with the Board before l go any further. 5. Gateway Tank. During the past month, I spent some time dealing with the Gateway tank site acquisition. I think I am finished with that project, we can now turn our attention to building the tank. 6. Underground policy: I spent time last month dealing with the issues surrounding the District's underground policy. l am not finished with that issue yet. I will be meeting with people from Southwest Gas and the Tahoe Donner Association to determine what sort of cooperative arrangement can be reached to proceed with undergrounding of facilities in Tahoe Donner. I have the impression that there is not the same interest in other existing overhead subdivisions, so I am not concentrating on them. 1 plan to place an item on the next regular business meeting agenda to clarify the modified policy. I is my understanding, and that of Bob Quinn, that the Board's action was to postpone the requirement that new homes install underground service in existing overhead subdivisions, but that new multi-family and commercial buildings would need to install underground services in existing overhead subdivisions. I propose to draft new policy language and place it on the next meeting agenda for Board consideration. 7. Meter reading technology. I have appointed a committee of employees to evaluate various meter reading technologies. We are aware of new technologies that allow us to read meters very quickly and accurately for less money. The savings is in labor. This is a difficult issue because it could mean that some current employees lose their jobs. I am involving employees in the evaluation of alternatives so that I am able to see al/ sides of the issue before l make a recommendation to the Board. S. Meetings: Various meetings that I routinely conduct or participate in during a month include Board meetings, staff meetings and a monthly all-employee meeting. PLN/smc STAFF REPORT March 16, 1995 To: Board of Directors From: Bob Quinn, Electric Superintendent Subject: February Ninthly Report AGENDA ITEM February brought some good weather that allovved crews to work on projects that had essentially been put on hold during the bad weather periods in January and to correct some system deficiencies experienced during the storms. In Tahoe Donner, in the Pinnacle Loop area, crews modified the style of existing construction to curb the numerous outages experienced in that area during adverse weather conditions. At one of the recent Board meetings, Director Sutton suggested staff look into areas that would benefit the most from placing facilities underground. The Pinnacle Loop/Stockholm area is one of those areas. In Prosser Heights, crews installed switch devices to expedite transferring load during times of emergency between Truckee substation and Tahoe Donner substation. . Crews continued splicing the newty installed underground conductor along Highway 267. In the alley behind commercial row dom7tom, crews performed maintenance work on the secondary system supplying those commercial customers. This is another area in dire need of work when Southwest Gas comes Into the community. Maintenance work on our primary facilities at the Donner Lake interchange continued. This work is in conjunction with a development agreement for the Donner Plaza project currently under construction. Upgrading our existing plant is required before we can add new facilities to serve the new development. Some of the maintenance required includes replacement of deteriorating poles, ameliorating clearance problems, and reconductoring lines. During this past month, all electric staff completed mandatory First Aid/CPR training as well as an OSHA seminar on new OSHA regulations for electrical workers. Electrical staff completed 34 service orders which included temporary power and temporary to permanent power hook-ups and underground facility locates. Staff provided assistance to the water department and worked on water facilities at the Southside Well, Stockholm Pump Station, Soma Sierra Booster Station, Northside Well, Sanders Well, and the Herschdale Pump Station. iDemand meters were installed at Sanders Well, Prosser Heights Well, Airport Well and 2 Booster, and the 11{orthside Well and Booster. One EMF survey was completed at a home on West River Street. Niter maintenance was completed on watt-hour meters presently installed at the Ames Deli, Mattis 7 11, Senior Citizens complex, and the Robert's Building. Plans and estimates for the 40 home low-income housing project were completed and sent to the developer for his review. A pre-development meeting was held for the 104 unit apartment complex to be built next to the Senior Center. Estimates and plans are currently being prepared for this project Meetings were held in the field and in the TDPUD building relating to the new building to be built downtown where the small mall now exists. This will be known as the Town Square project and will commence this spring. In Mattis substation, a recloser and control was replaced and the removed units brought into the shop for maintenance. 72 oil samples were taken for PCB analysis. All samples were free of PCB with concentrations less than 1 ppm. This program of testing is ongoing until all transforraners in the system are tested Staff continued to work on the settlement between the TDPUD and SPPCo regarding the Glenshire settlement. As of this writing we have but a few areas of concern and the details of transition are being worked out. Truckee Donner Public Utility District Board of Directors Joseph R.AgUera .

Kathy Neufs, Support Services Manager SUBJECT: Staff Report for February 1995 GE Da # BUILDING AND GROUNDS I. It has been a quiet month - almost no snowfall, no plumbing problems and no emergencies. PURCHASING AND WAREHOUSING 1. With the potential for some materials to have extremely long lead times, Joe has been working with the Engineer and Planners on quantities that will be needed for the upcoming construction season. Joe is trying to locate material now in order to have sufficient amounts during the summer. 2. Material locations are continually being adjusted to facilitate the dispersement of materials. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE 1. Though February was a short month, Tom was very busy. There were seven SIT inspections and one aerial inspection. Unit 17 had numerous seals replaced in the front and rear, new shocks and maintenance. Unit 11 came in with a coolant leak which turned out to be a broken head, it was out of commission for approximately two weeks.

Water quality analysis during preliminary design showed the presence of surface water microorganisms believed to have entered the well through rock fractures from nearby Donner Creek. Surface water treatment requirements would hav�:, substantially increased the cost for this location., and it was decided not to proceed with rehabilitation in the future the District may want to treat the water and bring this well On-line, A nevv well was proposed for the Gateway service area. A geologic test hole near Interniediate SchoollFreeway onramp indicated low potential due to clay content of the sulbsurface, Another geologic test hole near central Truckee westbound freeway onramp was more pfonlising for Productlon but contained 36 micrograms per liter (pg/1) of arsenic. The present maximum allowable limit for arsenic is 50pg/l, but is expected to be reduced to 5 or 10 y811 in the next fe.-'v years as its Qateinogenic effects become better known. It was decided to not proceed with a production well at this 16cation. Work in the Prosser Heights/Prosser Lakeview area included Hydropnuernatic station and piping for lower pressure customers near Prosser Heights'Iank.

Truckee River Bank has begun to charge us a monthly fee for account services. We've been on what is called account analysis for some time. Since we have tried very hard to transfer as much of the checking account balance as we can to the Local Agency Investment Fund, our average balance at the bank has dropped below a level in which there are no service fees.
