CALIFORNIA 9573.4 , TELF_1=HONE 587-3896 March 16, 1979 MANAGER'S REPORT 1 . General Status of the District During the past two weeks there have not been any significant water or electric outages. However, on March 15th, in the afternoon, there was a temporary outage in the Sierra Meadows--Ponderosa Palisades area caused by the severing of one of our power poles by a vehicle. The problem was quickly re- paired; the costs will be billed to the offending party. 2. Annual Report I met with Gail Grimes during the past ten days and we jointly put together a great seal of information that should go into the annual report. Gail is currently preparing the data in copy form, and is also preparing a report layout for presentation to the Board. Once the concept has been ap- proved by the Board, we will go ahead and do the complete report, then come back to the Board with the final version of the report for the Board to read, modify if they so choose, and hopefully, approve. After that point, the re- port will be a finished product and go to the printers for printing. 1 am firmly convinced that this annual report„ when finished, will be one of the most valuable tools this -District has ever produced to aid in com- municating with its customers, making the people of Truckee aware that the TDPUD is their District and advising what the District does any why it does it. 3. Update on Stampede_ Dam Project On Monday, March 12th, I received a call from a Mr. John Anderson of ^" the Western Power Marketing Administration of the Department of Energy. Mr. Anderson informed me that they were writing a letter to the Sierra Pacific Power Company advising Sierra Pacific that the power plant would be constructed and requesting that, under the current energy law, Sierra Pacific wheel the power to the TDPUD. The reason for Mr. Anderson's call was to let us know what they were doing since, in previous correspondence with the District, he had noted that in 1976 the Manager of the District had indicated that the District would want to construct their own power line. Mr. Anderson's position, and presumably that of the Western Power Marketing Administration, was that as long as there was an existing Sierra Pacific line that went in the vicinity of Stampede Dam and also came very close to Truickee, this existing facility should be used rather than disturb the en- vironment any further with a new line. I told Mr. Anderson that I personally agreed with the Department of Energy's approach on this and felt that there would probably be very little difficulty in working with Sierra Pacific to achieve a wheeling agreement. I feel that we are cooperating very nicely with Sierra Pacific these days and believe that they would be quite willing to wheel the energy to us unless there are really good, sound technical reasons that pre- vent them frorn doing so. -1- GRUMER & YFOTENHAUER, LTD. ..

Maass, President --- Truckee-Donner Public Utility D.Istrict Foss: Office Box 309 Truckee, California 95734 Re: Function and Effect of LAFCo Special Districts Advisory Committee to LAFCo Latent Distr;.ct Powers Dear Jim: Pursuant to the request of the Board of Directors, this office is submitting this report on LAFCo for poss..ble use at the March 19, 1979, meeting. Function end Effect of LAFCo: The function of the Local Agency Formation Commission is to aid in the orderly formation and development of local agencies. The first paragraph of Section 54774 of the California Government Code summarizes the purpose of the Con-itnission as follows: Among the: purposes of a local agency formation commission are the discouragement of urban sprawl and the encouragement of the orderly formation and development of local governmental agencies based upon local conditions and circumstances. One of the objects of the local agency formation commission is to make studies and to obtain and furnish information which will contribute to the logical and reasonable development of Local governments in each county and to shape the development of local governmental agencies so as to advantageously provide for the present and future needs of each county and its communities. (Unless otherwise stated all "Sections" refer to a section of the California Government Code.) The Commission has broad powers and may determine the area boundaries within which a distict may operate, may approve or disapprove proposals for annexation or consolidation of districts, and may limit an existing district to the services it. presently provides.. The Local Agency, Formation Commission was created and exists by virtue of the Knox--Nisbet: Act, and it appears to be the intent of that Act to give the Commission general powers to coordinate the services provided by the various districts within the County. f GRUNIER & PI.OTENHAUER, LTr_.). A"YFORNEYS A'r LAW f ecial Districts; Advisory Committee to I,AFCo: Section 54858 states that the Commission may refer any proposal to a Special Districts Advisory Committee. The appointment of and proceedings by the advisory committee shall be made and taken substantially in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 2, Part 3, Division 1, of the Government Code (Sections 56220 et seq.). Since the Commission does have such broad powers over the district, an advisory committee would probably be a helpful method by which the •districts could make their desires known to the Commission. Latent District Powers: The powers of the Truckee-Donner Public Utility District are set forth in Section 1646E of the Public Utilities Code, which reads as follows: A district may acquire, construct, own, operate, control, or use, within or without or partly within and partly without the district, works for supplying its inhabitants with light, water, power, heat, transportation, telephone service, or other means of communi- cation, or oneans for the disposition of garbage, sewage, or refuse matter, and may do all things necessary or convenient to the full exercise of the powers granted in this article. In addition, a public agency possesses those powers necessarily or fairly implied in or incident to the powe-.rs expressly granted and those essential to the declared objects and purposes of the agency— not simply convenient, but indispensable. lIard,en v. Superior Court, (1944) 44 Cal.2d 630, 284 P.2d 9; Von Schmidt v. iVidbur., 94. "105 Cal. 151, 38 P. 682. In other words, when relying oil an express power the District may do whatever is convenient to the exercise of that power, but when relying on a general object or purpose, the act must be indispensable to that purpose or object. Section 54851 provides that. the Commission may adopt a rule that would determine that no new or different function or class of service shall be provided by any existing district. If such a rule were adopted, the. Truckee- Donner Public Utility District would be limited indefinitely to supplying water and power..
