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 July 7, 1980 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. 4.

Milton Seymour, General Manager V f r 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- All Employees July 2, 1980 Page 2 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. AMS/smc CC. Dan J. Cook, Civil Engineer Steven E. Grumer, Esq. Board of Directors -2- 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. MC: 6/25/80 Page 2 NOTES TO OFFICE PERSONNEL REGARDING CREDIT POLICY: 1. GUARANTOR The guarantor must sign a form guaranteeing the required deposit (form attached) .

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. By C STEVEN E. GRUMER SEG:lg cc: All Directors A. Milton Seymour, Manager TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT POST OFFICE 60X 309 TRUCKEE, CAL_IFORNIA 95734 TELEPHONE 587-3896 MEMORANDUM February 4, 1980 To: Board of Directors From. . A. Milton Seymour, General Manager 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 -1- J / 5 Water Department 1 new serviceman/technician Salary range - $19,250 + overtime 1 half-time helper Salary range - $ 6,500 - $ 7,000 Administration Department 1 general clerk/typist Salary range - $10,000 - $11,000 �^ 1 estimator/mapper/inspector Salary range - $18,000 - $20,000 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.

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. -4- /Dl 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. - 2 - r- 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. i Respectfully submitted, COOK ASSOCIATE r Dan J.

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 JGG/vkp cc: B.
