FROM: Peter L. Holzmeister, General Manager
SUBJECT: General Manager's Report
AGENDA # 1 1
A) SPPCo/WWP merger - Attached is a notice issued by FERC that SPPCo and
WWP have filed their application for merger. We must intervene by September 9, 1994
in order to be heard by FERC. Our next Board meeting is scheduled for September 6. 1
will ask Bob McDiarmid to prepare a report and recommendation for you to consider at
the September 6 meeting. If Bob advises that an earlier special meeting is necessary, I
will be in touch with the Directors to that effect.
B) Transmission study - Staff of NCPA continues to review the availability of
transmission over Donner Summit. This follow-up study to an earlier study performed by
SPPCo is being conducted with full cooperation from PG&E and grudging cooperation
from SPPCo. Initial computer runs indicate substantial capacity on the transmission
system during a 1994 heavy summer load scenario. The final computer runs and reports
will be reported during the next few months. Attached is the schedule for study
completion agreed to by the parties.
C) Truckee River Operating Agreement - A local committee has been meeting to
discuss the interests of the Truckee River Basin parties in California as part of the effort
to negotiate a Truckee River Operating Agreement. Part of our discussion focused on the
need of the several water purveyors in the California portion of the Truckee River Basin
to identify their current and projected water needs and planned sources of water. I will be
working with our neighboring water districts to define our collective needs.
D) Tahoe Donner Golf Course wells - The Water Committee and staff continue to
meet with representatives of the Tahoe Donner Association to discuss a joint venture for
development of wells. Sauers Engineering will be preparing an analysis of costs and
benefits to assist us in developing our position.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: JULY-AUGUST, 1994,STAFF REPORT
Submitted by Mary Chapman, August 10, 1994 -1
MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORTS: .TUNE, 1994
1) BUDGET REPORT:
Enclosed are copies of the June financial reports. We are currently 50% of the way
through the fiscal year. The June budget report shows that we have received 53% of
the budgeted operating revenue and we have spent 51% of the budgeted expenses
for the year. Because of the timing of the electric sales and purchased power
expenses for the year, it is appropriate for us to be slightly ahead of the 50% mark.
The June budget report shows that we have received 48% of our budgeted water
operating revenue and have spent 46% of the budgeted expenses for the year. It is
also appropriate for us to be slightly lagging the 50% mark as of ,tune in the water
department, particularly in the commercial sales category. These are the accounts
that are metered. Their bills are generally higher in the summer months which will be
reflected in the next three budget reports. On the expense side, pumping costs will
also increase over the summer months.
2) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
The Electric Income Statement shows a year-to-date loss of.$89,999.47 and a loss of
$129,773.26 for the same period last year. The Water Income Statement shows a
year-to-date loss of $121,298.80 compared to a loss of $171,279.02 for the same
period last year. The main difference between the gain in the year-to-date budget and
the loss for the same period on the financial statements is the non-cash items such as
depreciation and amortization expenses. If we were to include these amounts in our
budgeting process, the financial statements would not show a loss. We would also
raise more cash to pay for facilities replacements.
3) STATEMENT OF GENERAL FUND:
While we are only showing $468,948.29 left in the General Fund, there are two
outstanding amounts due from the State for Prop 55 related costs that the District has
paid for, but had not yet been reimbursed as of June 30, 1994. These two requests
appear at the bottom of the statement. We have since received the reimbursement
Post Office Box 309 0 11570 Donner Pass Road • Truckee, California 96160
request for $466,095.59. Each time we receive a reimbursement from the State, our
long term debt balance goes up a like amount.
4) INVESTMENT REPORT:
As interest rates continue to rise, so does the yield on the District's investments with
the Local Agency Investment Fund. At the last board meeting, the Board committed
$376,392 from facilities fees and all of the remaining acquisition funds to various water
department projects.
COMPUTER OPERATIONS:
The installation of the Miscellaneous Accounts Receivable software has been
completed. Everything went well. The only thing that we need to do is to order
printed invoices. This system will allow us to send out regular progress billings on
construction jobs and development agreements. It will also allow us to send out
monthly statements and collection letters on delinquent miscellaneous billings.
OTHER:
The District has entered into an agreement with Automatic Merchandisers, Inc. to
maintain the coke machine. The following is an accounting of the monies on hand:
$ 24.08 Balance at 111l94
640.68 Collections
-550.20 Payments to Shoshone
-11.24 Purchase of cash box
$ 103.32 Ending balance 8f10194
The ending balance of $103.32 will be deposited in the employee flower fund. There
were also 94 cans of soda which will be bought back by Shoshone. Those funds will
also be turned over to the employee flower fund upon receipt. The vender will keep
the price of the sodas at 50 cents per can.

SCADA UPDATE
Installed an outside antenna on my house for better reception and
transmission on the SCADA system. Continued discussions with
Eric, Bill, Matt and Mirdaud from Sandel/Avery Engineering
regarding programming and operational "bugs" within the system.
These "bugs" are being eliminated. The SCADA system has been an
outstanding asset, allowing us to monitor, override, balance and
control the water system during this period of extreme demand.
Frost Office Box 309 • 11570 Donner Pass Road Truckee, California 96160
WATER QUALITY
Water samples were taken the four tuesdays of the month. Routine
daily rounds were made taking chlorine residuals throughout the
system.
STATION MAINTENANCE
Adjusted bowls on all four boosters at Southside Station and on
the well pump at Sanders to increase gallons per minute . Pulled
motor and pump from. Martiswoods estates for replacement . Set in
new gasket in the Airport Well pump near the packing gland to
repair large leak. Some screening of the drain/overflow lines on
the water tanks was accomplished. There was also some screening
of the cupola gents on the water tanks .
STANDBY GENERATOR
Installation has continued at several stations for the standby
generator. I continue to coordinate system ,shut downs for
installations at all sites . The contractor has not yet completed
any stations that have been field inspected by staff. A "punch"
list has been given to the contractor for work to this point . We
have been briefed on the operation and have run several pumps in
a few stations with the standby generator.
PROSSER HEIGHTS/NO OTHER WAY
The retaining walls at the tank site have been completed,
including the safety railing. Installation of the hydro station
pipe line has been completed and the installation of services has
begun. The hydro station walls have been fully erected and we
are awaiting the arrival of the tank and pumps prior to setting
the roof. The well driller has been on site all month and has
drilled the well to full depth. Testing is to begin the first
week of August.

Subject : Dept . work for July 19?4
The crews from Sears Construction have started work on the pipeline
replacement work for Tahoe Donner. Greenleaf is near completion and
they have started on Lausanne .
We experienced three large after hours blowouts this month which
caused our crews to respond immediately. The first was on Snowshoe
Circle, we were able to do some valuing and shut it off
immediately . The second was on a cross-country line between
Schussing and Saint Bernard. This leak was running at a couple
hundred gallons per minute. we were able to cap this one by one
a .m. The third leak was at the Southside complex. The leak was on
an eight inch line and was running at such a volume as to cause
Sierre Meadows Tank to loose over ten feet in less than one hour.
We had to cease all pumping to the tank to repair this leak as it
was on the discharge line of the pumps . Sierra Meadows ran out of
water for about two hours . However we were able to make repairs and
resume pumping by six a .m.
We had 22 new hookups this month and responded to about the same
number of U. S .A. locates . We made 9 service upgrades also.
There were 6 leaks repaired by our crews this month. I expect this
number to increase for the month of August .

our commercial service crew has continued to make good progress on
the backlog of work.They are continuing their focus through August .
We have been putting in a considerable amount of time after hours
running and monitoring the pump system. The demand is huge .
We have also responded to a number of water quality calls
throughout the district . Service calls and complaints were also
numerous .

Subject Electric Department July Report
AGENDA ITEM
July was a productive month for the Electric Department in that several projects were
completed that had been started in preceding months. Additionally, work commenced to
complete a development project and maintenance projects were completed within our
substations. The following is a listing of projects undertaken by the department.
Pole and line replacement in the Meadow Park area was completed.
Pole and line replacement along East River St was completed.
Work commenced on completing the Alder Hill Development project - an underground
subdivision located between the Tahoe Donner and Prosser area.
On July 2nd, a vehicle travelling south on Northwoods Blvd crossed the center line and the
north lane and collided with our power pole. The pole was sheared off at ground level and at
the telephone level approximately 25 feet above ground. The remaining facilities were
suspended in air and only a momentary outage was experienced by the customers on that
Tahoe Donner circuit. A crew was dispatched and a line truck was affixed to the damaged
pole until repairs could proceed after the 4th of July holiday. On July vth, the line crew
proceeded to replace the damaged pole and the project was completed on July 6th.
On July 71h, some consumers in the Prosser Heights, Prosser Lakeview, and Pannonia
Ranchos subdivisions experienced an outage. A transformer fuse opened as the result of a
bird contact and the resulting fault current caused a connector to fail approximately I mile
away. As the failed connector only effected I phase of the 3 phase line, only those
customers whose transformer was connected to the de-energized phase experienced a loss of
power. Power was restored to all customers in the area in approximately 2 hours.
Bids were opened for the Martis #3 project and Harker& Harker was awarded the bid with
construction to begin the second week of August
Meetings were held with Southern Pack Railroad in conjunction with the Truckee Diner
Restaurant planned for the comer of Hwy.267 and West River St
The TDPUD electrician (Jim VvIlson) spent considerable time monitoring Zintek and finding
numerous problems with the work being done for the Water Dept. contract 7 pages of work
to be corrected has been reported to me at this time.
Jim also held a class for the meter readers on basic electricity and safety.
3 air handlers were repaired by Jim in an effort to bring the upstairs temperatures in line.
Vegetation eradication within the substations was completed.
Fence and gate repairs were completed in Donner Lake, Tahoe Donner, and Truckee
substations.
At Martis substation, battery maintenance was completed
Broken insulators within Truckee substation were repaired
A recloser maintenance program was designed. After further review by the electrical engineer,
the program will be implemented
2 linemen attended a week-long underground operations class in Reno.
The service crew completed 46 new services and responded to 74 other types of service
orders for a total of 120 service orders for the month of July.
Routine maintenance on District poles and services was also perfom7ed by the service crew
on an ongoing basis
A few of the projects being planned for commencement or completion during August are as
follows:
The Martis #3 project
The Truckee Diner commercial project
The Tahoe Forest Hospital upgrade of facilities
Wolfe Estates underground subdivision
Alder Hill underground subdivision
Truckee Airport upgrade of facilities
Donner Plaza commercial development
While the above list is by no means a complete listing of the District's planned development, it
is a list of the most probable projects to be undertaken during this month. l look forward to
reporting to you on those and other projects in next months staff report

ENVIRONMENTAL GRANTS APPLICATION -SECTION 11 ,
FOR REQUEST TO BE -CONSIDERED, THIS FORM MUST BE COMPLETED AND
SUBMITTED WITH APPLICATION.
Name of Organization: Truckee Donner Public Utility District
Amount Requested: $2,500
A. Statement of purpose of organization. Include the geographic area and population in
the ftat ment.
rUCKee Donner Public Utility District(TDPUD) is a public(non-profit) utility
with primary responsibility for providing reliable , safe, low cost services
relating to the electrical and water, needs of its customers . TDPUD' s service
area is 44 square miles and includes Truckee with the exclusion of Glenshire.
TDPUD has 8,000+ residential and business customers which translates into a
o ulation served of approximately 20,000. The project described below which
involves the Truckee Donner Chamber of Commerce would greatly expand this pro-
ject' s influence. TDPUD is involved in establishing policies and programs
that achieve cost-effective conservation and support the efficient use of
energy and water resources . The goal of the District is to conduct its activ-
ities in a manner which demonstrates a concern for effects on the environment.
B. Describe the purpose for the grant funds requested.
The purpose of the request for grant funds is to assist TDPUD in a partnership
with the Truckee Donner Chamber. of Commerce to demonstrate water and energy
efficiency measures in the new Chamber headquarters located at 12036 Donner
Pass Road. The location/project is highly visible and is designed to involve
many volunteer activities , primarily educational . The project expects to
attract a culturally diverse group of people. This project is easy to
replicate and is expected to provide long term benefits to the Truckee-Tahoe
area. The request would be used to acquire energy and water conservation
measures identified in the plan(see attached) that we could not acquire
through project designed donations .
C. State the environmental benefit to be achieved through use of these funds.
The primary environmental benefit of this project is the reduction in the
burning of fossil fuels at power plants achieved through the promotion of
energy and water conservation measures . Fossil fuels burned at power plants
usually include coal , oil , and natural gas . The resulting air pollution
emissions may include carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide. ect. The more
customers/ consumers become aware of the cost-effective cost savings that can
be achieved through energy and water conservation measures, the more we expect
to see these measures incorporated into Truckee homes and businesses . Not
only is there a reduction in power use and fossil fuel burning with energy
conservation measures, but also the same affect occurs with less water -use
resulting in less electrical pumping required to bring groundwater from Martis
Valley to our customers.
D. Total Project Budget: $ 2 500*
* We anticipate this amount to be the portions of the energy and water effic-
iency measures not acquired through donations and volunteerism.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
1 . During the winter months we had opened a section of the
back fence for snow removal. Staff removed the temporary
fencing and reattached the original fencing, securing the
fence properly.
2 . Assisted John Dyer in the location of the test bore holes
by giving John copies of "as builts" for sewer, storm
drains, water and electrical .
3 . I have spent numerous hours on the phone, and exchanging
faxes in regards to the roof re--coating. I have
communicated with Peter Madsen (the roofing
contractor) , Dan Varvais (coating manufacturer rep. ) . and
Steve Gamble (sales rep. ) . The three of them met at the
P.U.D. to resolve the problem with the coating. The
solution is to wash the roof with a mild solution, embed
the peeling spots in the coating(so the coating adheres to
itself) and then to put a light coating over the entire
roof. This solution satisfies the building department also.
All work and material will be at the expense of the coating
manufacturer and the roofing contractor. I hope to see the
work done in the next week or so.
VEHICLES
1. The B. I .T. program was completed on Units #16 , #18 and #34 .
2 . Tom received the boom certificates for Units #10, #12 , #17
and #18 . The booms were inspected last month and no
discrepancies were found.
3 . We also received a certificate from the Highway Patrol for
two consecutive years of satisfactory rating for our B. I .T.
program. Having a satisfactory rating means that there were
no discrepancies (minor problems) or major problems (which
result in a vehicle out-of-service violation) .
