Holzmeister, General Manager SUBJECT: Monthly report ;During the past month, a few big items took a great deal of my time and other items played a lesser role. Pre aration of 1995 Budget One of the big items that took up my time during the past month was the 1995 Budget. ft is now in draft form and ready for the Board to deal with it. SPPCo issues ® Two other items that received a great deaf of my attention were the power supply and Glenshire issues. These items will continue to be high priorities for me during the next couple of months. A great deal of work remains before we have fully restructured our relationship with SPPCo and NCPA. Also, a great deal of work needs to be done with respect to the customers in the Glenshire portion of our service territory. MOU bargainingissues 1 have spent time during the past month organizing issues for discussion with our employee union. During December, l expect to spend considerable time in the meet and confer process. Truckee River Operating Agreement The Truckee River Basin Water Group continues to meet each month and Pat Sutton and 1 are attending these meetings. The group is developing a definition of a well to clearly establish that our wells do not draw water from surface sources. The group is also struggling with the mechanism by which it formalizes its existence. Our Board will probably be asked to consider executing a memorandum of understanding under the terms of which we become a formal member of the Truckee River Basin Water Group. Gooseneck Ranch Ron Parr of Gooseneck Ranch has asked us to move forward with annexation of their property into our District. Keith Sauers has begun the process of preparing annexation paperwork and this item will come before the Board soon for discussion and authorization. Meetincus During the past month, I have prepared Board meeting agendas, chaired weekly management team meetings and conducted an all-employee meeting.

All other devices, ie , fire suppression systems, medical facilities etc . will be tested in the fall . In implementing an annual test cycle for all backflow devices and to complete the Districts files I have offered to perform the first test at no charge to the customer. This gives me an opportunity to inspect, test and photograph the device (s) and installation, as well as accomplish some public relations work. The response has been very favorable, in October I tested 13 devices at 9 different locations . PVFP OPERATIONS Water production for October was 76 . 8 million gallons from all sources including Hirschdale.

Subject: Regional Science Bowl Greetings Folks, it is time to plan for the Regional Science Bowls ... and I need your support, as well as other utility folks in Northern and Central California. Before I ask, here is a little background, because some of you may not be familiar with the Events. There will be two Northern California Regional Science Bowls on February 11, 1995 in Redding and February 25, 1995 in Sacramento at CSUS. Twenty or more high schools are expected to participate in each event. The Science Bowl is designed to reward students who learn science and math disciplines and to provide fun and excitement in the learning experience. It is a two- team match, double elimination competition. Each team consists of four players, an alternate, and a coach. The Bowl is run similar to quiz show games complete with lockout buttons, timers, moderators, and scorekeepers. The top teams in the competition will receive prizes. The Number One Team from each Regional will get an all-expense paid trip to the National Competition in Washington DC in April 1995. There is no registration charges for high schools to participate. Here's the support I need from you. 1. A monetary contribution to the Regional Science Bowl. Any amount will help and will go to cover prizes, T-shirts, lunches during the tournaments, and travel 'expenses for teams not sponsored by utilities or other organizations. Could you consider $500 to $1000? 2. Names of volunteers from your organization to help run the Science Bowl in Redding and/or Sacramento. Also, any leads on corporations to hit up for money and volunteers. And 3. A recruiting effort to get high schools in your service territories to participate in the Regionals. In return, you will receive sponsorship recognition at the Regionals ... and the knowledge that you have really made the difference in promoting math and science in high schools. Besides that, the event itself is very, very fun. All the volunteers, coaches, and students enjoy preparing and competing. Very best regards, Guy Nelson �G Regional Science Bo Coordinator ' STATE OF CALIFORNIA—THE RESOURCES AGENCY PETE WILSON.
