MANAGER'S REPORT
July 7, 1980
1. General Status of the District
Since the last Board Meeting, there have been no major outages of power with the
exception of a deliberate power turn-off when there was the danger of a fire from
a leaking propane tank on West River Street. At that time, we turned off Feeder "C"
which affected parts of Gateway, West River Street and the lower end of Northwoods
Boulevard.
There have also been some minor outages of water in the Armstrong area due to the
SAD#5 activities. A rather major event was the failure of the Southside #1 pump
on June 20th. Byron Jackson Pump Company was called in to remove the pump and
motor; they discovered that a bearing in the pump had failed causing the pump to
short out and become inoperative. On June 20th, until July 3rd, the Southside Sub-
service Area was supplied water entirely from the Southside Spring or the Town Tank.
These sources proved adequate although they were operating at close to 90% of cap-
acity - especially on the weekends. On July 3rd, the new pump motor was installed
and the Southside Well #1 was placed back in service. It appears to be operating
normally.
2. Purchase of Power - report regarding contact with Department of Water Resources
and Western Area Power Administration re possible purchase of power
Although I was not able to visit Sacramento and talk to the Department of Energy,
Western Area Power Administration, directly, I have talked to John Andersen of that
�^ Government Department on the phone on two separate occasions. It appears possible
that we may be able to work out an arrangement with WAPA to purchase power from
various Central Valley projects to augment any power that we obtain from Boca and/or
Stampede Dams. Before the next Board Meeting, I intend to visit the Department of
Energy and explore further the process by which we can apply for preference power
from the Federal Government.
The power that may be available from the Department of Water Resources does not
appear to be as economically attractive as that from the Federal Government since
what they will charge us for power would be the same as PG&E's wholesale rate for
power. When this rate is added to the wheeling cost of getting the power to us,
it probably will not have any economic advantage over the power purchases we now
make from Sierra Pacific Power Company.
3. Water System Work Program for 1980
I have outlined to the employees of the District a water system work program to
cover the next three to six months of reasonable weather. In essence, what we
are doing is transferring one of the Meter Readers from the Meter Reading Depart-
ment to the Water Department and hiring three temporary employees to form three
two-man teams. Each team will have a specific area of responsibility. One team's
efforts will be directed to correcting commercial metering installations so that-
Manager's Report

Page 2
the meters can be properly read and the proper revenue collected. Another team
will be in charge of repairing or replacing water services that were connected in
1979 by contractors or homeowners without authorization. The third team will car-
ry on the daily work of the water system maintenance, pump checking, leak repair,
etc. I believe the program of work we have laid out will greatly improve the
revenue from commercial water sales and eliminate future problems with leaking
services.

Re: 1980 Work Program for the TDPUD Water Department
The Water Department of the PUD faces the busiest season of its history. Not
only do we have a number of construction projects in progress (such as SAD#5
and the Airport water line) ., but we also have in excess of 100 services left
over from the 1979 construction season that need to be corrected and brought
up to District standards. These water services were installed without auth-
orization by contractors and homeowners.
Since 1975, various District Managers have been aware of the need to upgrade
our commercial water metering setup. Two years ago I started a project to
ascertain exactly what needed to be done. We now have an inventory of every
commercial water service and what needs to be done to bring that water service
up to a condition where the water meter can be read on a monthly basis and the
billing for the water will be accurate, not simply an estimate.
In addition to the construction activity, the improperly installed water ser-
vices and the upgrading of the commercial metering, there still remains the
normal day-by-day on-going work of the Water Department such as monitoring
pumping stations, repairing leaks, installing new services and handling cus-
tomer complaints.
To make at least a major dent in all four of the previously mentioned areas of
effort requires more than our permanent full time servicemen. Therefore, the
District has hired three temporary people, all skilled to some extent in plumb-
ing or mechanical devices and all quite capable of being intelligent helpers in
the Water Department. Additionally, we are transferring Bruce Waltrip from the
Meter Reading Department to the Water Department to work for the next three to
six months. These actions will give us a total. of six people in our Water
Department. These six people are being divided into three two-man teams, each
of which will have a fairly specific assignment.
The first team will be headed by Bruce Waltrip and include him and one helper.
The function of this team is to take care of correcting commercial metering
situations on a priority list basis so that the largest commercial users of
water are properly metered and can be properly billed. Bruce Grow and I have
reviewed all the commercial water services that have metering problems and
have prioritized the list so that the biggest potential users of water will
be taken care of first. Each commercial water meter installation that requires
correction will get: 1) a new meter, 2) a remote read-out on the new meter, and
�\ -1-

3) in some cases, a new location for the meter. This project is going to be
a tough assignment and will require ingenuity and, perhaps, frequent consulta-
tion between Bruce Waltrip, Bruce Grow, Dave Rully, Bob Slattery and myself.
The second two-man team will be headed by Bill Tamietti and will be responsible
for correcting all of the 100+ services installed in 1979 by contractors or home-
owners. This team will reinspect each unauthorized service and correct it as
needed making sure that it provides a curb stop, a meter idler and a gate valve
installed in such a way that, in the future, the meter idler can be removed and
a water meter installed.
The third team will be headed by Dave Rully and will take care of the on-going
coordination with the various construction projects. It will also handle the
day-to-day operation of the water system.
To provide supervision for this overall effort, Dave Rully has been temporarily
elevated to the position of Water Service Working Foreman in accordance with the
Memorandum of Understanding between the District and IBEW Local 1245. Starting
July 7 , 1980, I am requesting that each team leader, through Dave Rully and Bob
Slattery, provide me with a progress report of what they have been able to ac-
complish and any problems that they have encountered.
Each of these three teams has been assigned a vehicle.. I anticipate that we will
have, for the summer, two backhoes available for the various purposes of the Dis-
trict. The team handling the correction of unauthorized water services will
probably need a backhoe more frequently than any other crew. However, there will
also be the need for a backhoe by the other two water teams as well as the Elec-
trical Department. I anticipate the second backhoe will be obtained on rental or
short term lease basis.
The success of our Water Department efforts during the next several months will
depend upon good supervision and good coordination. In the interest of safety
�.. and effi.ciency, each of the three temporary helpers should always work with a
full time regular District employee. Dave Rully will make the assignment of
temporary helpers to the three teams.
The warehouse and purchasing functions are instructed to cooperate fully with
the three water teams to insure that they have the material they need when they
need it.
There will also be, in addition to the three employee teams discussed above, some
peripheral activity in the Water Department involving consultants. Sandell-Avery
Engineering is currently engaged in installing the equipment necessary to allow us
to inhibit pumping during certain peak electrical load periods of each day. This
work will continue for the next two or three weeks until the system is in and
working. Additionally, Sandell-Avery Engineering is in the process of reprogram-
±ng our data logger and its associated micro computer. The program changes being
made will allow the data logger printer to print out on a daily basis the running
times of the various pumps in the Tahoe Donner water system. This information
will be quite useful in helping the District determine the need for additional
pumping capacity in this particular system as Tahoe Donner grows.

TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
CUSTOMER CREDIT POLICY
Each applicant for service and each customer will be required to establish
and maintain credit satisfactory to the District as a condition of receiving
electric and/or water service. Credit will be deemed established and main-
tained if the applicant:
1 . Owns or has an equity, satisfactory to the District, in the premises
.— to be served.- or
2. Furnishes a guarantor, bond, cosigner or certificate of deposit
to the satisfaction of the District; or
3. Is moving directly from another premises within the District where
credit was previously established and the account for such premises
was maintained in his name; or
4. Is able to provide the District with a credit reference from a
previous utility where he had service under his name for twenty-four
months or more and the customer did not have more than two late
notices during the last twelve months of service.
A customer's credit may be deemed to be no longer maintained to the District's
satisfaction if such customer's service has been discontinued for nonpayment
of charges, or if customer has two or more bills delinquent, during the last
12 months of previous service. A customer receiving service may be required
to re-establish credit in the event his conditions of service or conditions
affecting his credit have materially changed.
DEPOSIT REQUIRED WHERE CREDIT NOT ESTABLISHED OR MAINTAINED
There a customer or an applicant for service does not satisfactorily
establish and maintain credit in accordance with the Customer Credit Policy
above, a deposit may be required as security for the payment of bills.
District may discontinue service if customer fails to make such deposit as
requested by the District. The amount of such deposit shall equal two times
the highest monthly bills during the previous twelve months, but shall not be
less than $50.00.
Deposits for residential service normally will be held for a deposit period
of one year. Deposits for nonresidential service normally will be held for a
deposit period of two years. At the end of each customer's deposit period or
at District's option, the District will return customer's deposit if at such
time the customer has established his credit to the satisfaction of the
District.
Upon termination of service, the District will return such deposit less the
amount of any charges remaining unpaid.
Page 1
INTEREST ON CREDIT DEPOSITS
No interest will be paid if service is discontinued within one year from
the date on which deposit was made.
For each 12-month period in which the customer has paid bills for electric
service within delinquency standards established by the District, interest on
deposits will be computed annually and accrued at the rate of 5% per annum.
Following the first 12-month period, interest will be accrued on a prorated
basis for deposits held less than a full year.
Interest on deposits will be paid on the date of return of the depositor
on the date of its application to the customer's account.

Re: Altitude Valve Award
Dear Karl:
This letter is being sent in response to the questions of Pat Sutton at the
last meeting regarding the bid of Joe Suter for the altitude valve installations.
The purpose for the statutory requirement of competitive bidding . is to
prevent waste of public money, corruption and favoritism. Cyr v. White
(1947) 83 C.A.2d 22, 187 P.2d 834. In the absence of a clear abuse of
discretion, a court will not overturn the decision of the board.
It is common for a board to waive irregularities in bids. In the case of
Diablo Beacon Printing v. City of Concord (1964) 40 Cal.Rptr. 443, 229
Cal.App.2d 505, the City of Concord advertised for bids for the publication
of the city's legal notices. There was included as a requirement for bidding
that all bids must indicate the publisher's circulation within the City of
Concord. The City accepted a bid that was submitted without the required
indication of circulation and the Court of Appeal held that the City could
properly waive the omission.
For the foregoing reasons, I do not believe there is any problem in waiving
any irregularities in Mr. Suter's bid.
Very truly yours,
STEVEN E. GRUMER, LTD.

Re: FUTURE STAFFING REQUIREMENTS
During the past year the District has grown in many respects. First,
there has been a significant increase in the amount of electricity that we
are serving. Second, there has been an almost 25% increase in the number
of electric customers we are serving. The same can be said for water.
There has been an increase of approximately 40 miles of electric distribu-
tion line, primarily in Units 8, 9, 10 and 11 of Tahoe Donner. There has
been a significant increase in the amount of paperwork required to administer
the District. There is an ever-increasing demand for more and more accurate
information about the District's operations. As we have moved from the small
country, slow going community District to a rapidly growing purveyor of energy
and water in a complex and often turbulent society we have added sophistica-
tion to our billing system, plant record systems, collection systems and book-
keeping systems.
All of the above growth aspects of District operations are requiring more
and more man hours of time. Indeed it has now reached the point where employ-
ees have to turn aside important projects to carry on the daily function of
providing electric and water service and for the billing thereof. We have just
completed a very trying year that taxed the District's capabilities to the ut-
most. We have managed by using part-time and temporary employees, by overtime
and lots of hard work on the part of the regular crews. During the coming year
we will see a considerable expansion in our Water Department in the way of the
Airport Well, two booster stations and new transmission line. We also expect
the new substation to be built.
In order to accomplish the things that we must do and the things that
we should do, it is rapidly becoming imperative that we add more permanent
personnel. Our draft budget, which has gone now to the Budget Committee,
includes funds for the personnel additions or changes as I have outlined be-
low:
Electric Department
1 new lineman Salary range - $22,300 + overtime
1 half-time helper Salary range - $ 6,500 - $ 7,000

For the past several months, our Electric Department has not been able
to keep up with all the new services and emergencies. After clearing up
from the last storm, all five of our line crew have been just putting in new
services. We now begin to see the daylight at the end of the tunnel, but we
are still quoting about two weeks between the time of application for service
and the time the connection is made. In the meantime, no maintenance is being
done. Our General Foreman and Line Foreman both feel that another lineman is
necessary to keep up with the new services as well as perform some very es-
sential maintenance so that Winter storms won't hit us quite so hard.
In our Water Department, we have had to forego daily pump checks for
nearly a year. There simply is not enough time or personnel to accomplish
this daily routine. We have been fortunate in that the work done by Avery
Engineering on the telemetry system has enabled us to detect problems in the
water system in Tahoe Donner without the routine daily checks. The work of
our crews has been almost exclusively installing new services and repairing
leaks. Despite their efforts, more than 120 new services were illegally con-
nected by contractors during the past year. Because of this situation we hired
an inspector last Fall to go throughout the District and inspect all new water
connections to determine whether or not they were properly made and if they
were legal. We now have a list of his inspections, which indicates that we
will be very busy during the coming Spring, Summer and Fall months connecting
poorly installed water services. The staff will soon be asking the Board to
pass an ordinance requiring that customers who have illegally connected them-
selves to the water system pay over and above the normal connection fees for
any corrective work to their water service. It is much more difficult to
correct an already improperly installed water service than to install a new
service properly.
In asking for a new water serviceman/technician, we have in mind an
individual with some training in electronics. At the present time we are
entirely at the mercy of outsiders for the maintenance of our telemetry sys-
tem. None of our incumbent employees have any training in electronics and
especially in equipment as sophisticated as a time division multiplex tele-
metry system. While Avery Engineering has done an excellent job, their
charges are high. It bothers me to be forced to pay up to $30 per hour for
an engineer to fix something that could easily be fixed by a $10 per hour
technician.
Because our present computer is limited in capacity, we are now using
about one and one half people to keep current with our billing. Because
of this, our collection efforts on delinquent accounts suffers while we

the candidates we interview. I would anticipate that a minimum starting
salary in the vicinity of $25,000 per year will be required to attract good
candidates.
All of the non-management positions if authorized, will, of course, be
offered to incumbent employees through the bidding process before hiring
from outside. I believe that the estimator/mapper/inspector and super-
intendent position should be designated by the Board as management employees
in that these positions require independent judgment and interpretation of
Board policy. Both positions, if authorized, should consider incumbent em-
ployees and condidates from the outside.

TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
MEETING OF JULY 7 , 1980
ENGINEER'S REPORT
_
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Developer Agreements
Steve Grumer is providing you with a Developer Agreement for
the Truckee Crossroads and the River Street West developments .
for consideration at tonight's meeting. Some time back the
proponents of the Truckee Mountain Townhouses/Goldtown
Condominiums, provided a draft of the Developer Agreement
associated with their project. The proposed agreement as
provided by them is attached to this Engineer' s Report as
page 4 thru 7 .
2. Altitude Valve Installation
Legal Counsel will be providing you with an opinion letter
F, concerning the award of the altitude valve installation to
Mr. Joe Suter who was the apparent low bidder_ We stand
at this time on the recommendations that we made to you during
your June 16 meeting. The funding of the valve installation
is provided in the Dart Agreement and the results will be
a more effective system at a lower operating cost, and we
therefore urge you to award the construction contract to the
construction firm of your selection at tonight's meeting.
t NEW BUSINESS
1. Supplemental Office Space - Portable
Director Huber and myself flew to Santa Rosa and looked over
rather carefully the proposed redi - space mobile offices that
have been offered to the district to ease your space require-
ments in the near term. The purchase price of the units per
the proposal is $ 6,000.00. In addition to the purchase
price, there are a number of incidental items that must be
accomplished:__to make the office space totally useable and
operational for the Truckee Donner Public Utility District.
Attached as page 8 of this Engineer's Report is an estima-
tion of the work necessary to bring the facilities up to an
acceptable standard. The total cost associated with the
modification and repair is $15,500.00. The net cost per
. J7
l03-
useable square foot resulting from the installation therefore,
is $ 19.40. We will have a drawing at the board meeting
that shows the space relationship of the proposed trailers
and the existing office complex.
DISTRICT ENGINEER'S REPORT
1. Current Construction
A. The construction of. S.A.D. 5 is progressing satisfactorily
at th_is time. The contractor has installed the first two
lifts on the 100,000 gallon steel storage tank and is making
satisfactory progress on other facets of the project. At the
conclusion of progress pay estimate 2, the contractor had
earned 38% of the total monies available for the project and
had consumed 23% of the allotted time. The contractor's
performance on the project has smoothed out somewhat, even
though the County revoked the Encroachment Permit. Interestingly
with the revoking of the Encroachment Permit, the contractor's
operation was concentrated in the western portion of S.A.D. 5
and the contractor was much more effective in the total
execution of the project. The revoking of the Encroachment
Permit will show as a substantial plus in the contractor' s
! profit. The Encroachment Permit has subsequently been rein-
stated.
•_ �. B. Hood has initiated the boring and jacking . under the
S.P. Railroad at the present time. Until some adjustment or
realignment of the contractual requirements is accomplished,
Hood is under a $500 per day penalty for the installation.
C. - Harker and Harker will be moving in toward the end
of this week for the construction of the Airport Transmission
Main. There have been several realignments necessitated by
right of way considerations on the Airport Transmission Main,
however, the end product I believe will be equally serviceable
to that which was initially approved by the Board of Directors .
2. Annexation
The annexation of the area that you and I know as C.S.A. 19
is progressing. Enclosed as page 9 of this report is the
most incredible document yet received from Placer County for
your consideration and amusement.

3. Clean Water and Water Conservation Bond Act
At this time the State Water Resource Control Board staff
is attempting too rioritize all projects that were determined
to be eligible under the 78 Bond Act. The priorities as
originally set up by the staff and that were the subject
matter of the previous public hearing are to be revised.
A new priority listing is to take into consideration the
Regional Board priority ratings and the information received
at the public hearing. The workshop has been rescheduled to
July 8 and hopefully by the night of the Board Meeting, the
priority listings will be in hand.
4. Airport Pump, Booster and Tank
Initial plans for the Airport' s pump, booster and tank have
been submitted and revised to conform to the District
Standards and returned to the design engineer. The design
engineer has committed to Dart to have worked off all of the
red marks by Friday, July 4, 1980, so that plan approval can
a be accomplished at the July 7 board meeting, and thereby
allowing the call for bids to be accomplished so that the
project can be completed prior to snow fall.

SUBJECT: ANNEXATION OF PLACER C.S.A. #19 TO
TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
Gentlemen:
We are in -receipt of your letter requesting comments regarding the
subject annexation. Research of our files discloses an apparent dis-
crepancy. between the boundary limits of C.S.A. 19 and the boundary of
your proposed annexation. We have not found any documentation that sup-
ports the inclusion into C.S.A. 19 of the colored area shown on the

Re. : TDPUD work done on power lines in vicinity
of Donlac Trailer Park on June 25, 1980.
Power was off for a short Period of time.
Upon resumption of service, fluorescent fixtures
would not function; also, TV picture narrowed and
went into a maze of colors.
Next day, low power was ascertained and prob-
lem corrected by TDPUD workmen. TV dead.
Enclosed, please find TV technician' s opinion
of reason fdr malfunction, and repair bill, for which
I am respectfully requesting remuneration.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely yours,
G. Bonano

RE: WATER LINE EASEMENT ADJACENT TO HIGHWAY 267
Dear Mr_ Seymour:
Mrs. Woolverton and I reviewed your June 25th letter which
sets forth the general position you feel your Board has
toward the subject water line. We are , of course, con-
cerned that we cannot be assured that this water line could
be used by the future developers of our property but we
understand the need for this line in the overall develop-
ment of the Truckee area.
The heirs of the Joerger Estate will agree to execute the
required easement . However, they will continue to be taxed
on the property;- they will incur costs in the review and
processing of this easement ; and . they cannot receive
guarantees- of future water service. Therefore, they feel
Dart Industries should purchase this easement for your
district _
Sierra Pacific Power Company has asked to purchase an
easenent along the boundaries of our property just south
of this location and offered to pay us at a rate of approxi-
mately $2, 400 per acre. We therefore feel that a fair price
for this easement to help offset our expenses would be $3 , 700.
We are in the process of having the easement signed. If
the requested financial arranagement is acceptable, please
let us know how and when you would like to proceed.
Very truly yours,
',/ James G. Gee
