TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT 4
POST OFFICE BOX 309
TRUCKEE, CALIFORNIA 95734
TELEPHONE 587-3896
June 4, 1979
MANAGER'S REPORT
1 . General Status of the District - Attahced to this report are the water produc-
tion figures for the month of May. These figures show a marked increase in water
consumption due to golf course watering at Tahoe Donner.
During the past two weeks, we have had two water outages in Ponderosa Pal-
isades cussed by the failure of Ponderosa Palisades booster pumps to operate when
called. The cause of the failures has been determined to be an operating problem
rather than a real equipment failure. One of the two booster pumps in the Booster
Station was removed because the electrical terminal connections were badly burned;
it was thought by the water crew that the pump may have been damaged. While the
pump was removed, the telemetry needed to be rewired so that the second pump would
always come on when water was called for. Inasmuch as the rewiring was not accom-
plished when the call for pump turn-on came, the call came to the pump that had
been removed; therefore, nothing happened and the tank ran low on water. When the
problem was discovered, the necessary corrections were made, and the station is now
back to normal .
2. Annual Report - We are still waiting for the semi-final draft of the annual
report copy from Gail Grimes. I anticipate receipt this week.
3. Energy Conservation Booklet - I have circulated to the Board a manual that is
fairly complete and readable on the subject of energy conservation in the home.
These booklets are available to us at a very reasonable cost (less than $1 .00 a-
piece) . After reviewing the booklet, I would like the Board members ' opinions as
to whether or not we should purchase a supply of these manuals for distribution
to customers with "high bill" problems.
4. Infrared Heat Loss Audit - We have received a letter from an aerial survey com-
pany offering to provide infrared aerial surveys of our District as part of an energy
conservation program. Numerous co-ops and power agencies in the middle west have
used these aerial surveys to great advantage in helping their customers reduce dom-
estic power costs. What these aerial surveys show, when they are made on a cold day
or night, is the houses or buildings with high heat loss. In the mid-west, where
these aerial surveys have been used rather extensively, the owners of the buildings
shown to have a high heat loss are notified by the utility and asked to make correc-
tions or to insulate in the interest of energy conservation.
5. APPA Annual Meeting - The annual meeting of the American Public Power Associa-
tion, of which the District is a member, will be held in Seattle, Washington the
17th, 18th, and 19th of June. Inasmuch as I will be in Vancouver, Canada on the
15th and 16th of this month, 1 propose to stop over in Seattle for at least one
day to visit the APPA meeting . A copy of the program for this meeting is attached
to this report for Board information.
Another convention worth noting is the American Water Works Association
annual meeting which, this year, will be held in San Francisco June 24-29. Some of
the sessions at the AWWA convention seem to have very appropriate material for our
District. A copy of the program is attached for the Board 's information.

Re: Environmental Impact Assessment for the Proposed Airport
Water Transmission Main and Related Facilities
Dear Board Members;
We have reviewed this document prepared by your District Engineer,
Cook & Associates.. The report adequately addresses the anticipated
effects of the proposed project and we are generally in agreement with
the contents.
A few of the Required Mitigation Considerations (Pages 23-25) create
some complications to the proposed construction.. It is requested
that the following revisions be considered for inclusion in the draft
report.
1. Page 23 - General Considerations, Item 1.
Page 24 - Highway 267, Traffic Considerations, Item 3•
Page 24 - Public Convenience, Bridge Street Considerations, Item 1.
Change the date from September 3rd to August 1st. It is our hopeful
intention to perform those portions of the project this summer
which will best reduce the overall impact of this project and
related work planned by Cal Trans. This may require beginning some
components prior to September 3rd, with completion in the 1979
season.

Change winter closing date from November 1st to (916) 587-6028
"December lst or whenever instructed to do so by
the agency issuing the encroachment permit for the
area in which the work is being done." This change
may allow work to take advantage of a long construction
season i one should occur. In this area, both the
county d state subject their permits to end active
construction as dictated by weather conditions.
3• Page 23 - Seismic Considerations, Item 4
Change valve spacing from 1,000 feet to 2,500 feet. Close
valve spacing increases the project cost, but does not
necessarily mitigate seismic impact. The American Water
Works Association Manual M. 11 - Steel Pipe Design and
Installation, Page 159, states, "In long lines traversing
N open country, line valves may be several miles apart."
Your consideration of Dan Cook's report and these comments at
your meeting on June 4th will be appreciated. Prompt action
on the Negative Declaration will allow us to begin work on this
project of mutual benefit to the District and Tahoe Donner.

SUBJECT: QUINTANA CONSTRUCTION, WEST RIVER STREET
WATER CONNECTION
DATE: August 28, 1975
At the request of the Board I am documenting for the
Board events that may have a bearing on the problem of
Ouintana Construction connecting into the county water
line on the county side of the meter. These events will
be reported as I recall them.
Mrs . Sutton came into the office during the week of
August llth and asked me what I knew of Quintana' s water
on West River Street. My reply was that I knew nothing
about it as Dan Cook had been involved in the West River
Street water main and I would not be involved until the
District had accepted the main. She then inquired if
there had been a request for service from Quintana. My
reply was that I did not know as I would not normally be
involved in a water application. The connection request
would be made through application taken in the front
office. The job would be completed and I would have no
knowledge of the connection.
Mrs . Sutton then asked what Ken Krajewski knew about
the connection. Mr. Krajewski indicated that he knew
nothing of the matter_ Mrs . Sutton asked to see correspon-
dence from the District' s file concerning such connection
and anything concerninrg the county and/or Quintana' s water.
Mrs . Sutton examined the file related to this matter and
indicated that there was some correspondence missing. Ken
Krajewski was questioned and said that he was not aware of
any correspondence. However, upon further questioning
he was able to produce some further correspondence.

Ken and I went to see for sure that water service
had in fact been run to Quintana' s building on West River
Street now occupied by Yates Body Shop. We discovered
that water was running to Yates Body Shop. At our request
John Quintana came into the District office and told Ken
he had connected onto the County water line.
I phoned Terrence Lowell and asked if he knew any-
thing about Quintana' s connection. He replied he did
not but requested that I keep him informed of what was
discovered.
The following day I spoke with Quintana and Freitas
in our office. Quintana indicated he had made a water
service connection to our water main at a point across the
road from Standard Oil. That connection is the one I
attempted to explain to the Board on August 19, 1975 .
Mr. Quintana was unable to attend that meeting. Since
that time Mr. Quintana has come into the office. During
. his visit I asked him to show me where he had made the
connection. He indicated that he would not show me any-
thing or tell me anymore but that he would meet with the
Board. Mr. Quintana has been invited to attend our next
regular Board meeting on September 2nd.
Mr. Lowell phoned the District on Friday, August
22nd and gave the District his permission to turn off the
water at the county barn in order to be sure that Quintana
had connected to the county system. Tuesday morning,
August 26th, Mr. Craig, Mrs . Sutton and, myself went to
Yates Body Shop while Mr. Krajewski turned off the water
at the metering point at the county barn. When the water
was turned off at the county barn the water stopped flowing
at Yates Body Shop. This leads me to believe, beyond a
doubt, that the water to Yates Body Shop is connected on
the customer side of the water service at the county barn.
I have sent a letter to Mr. Lowell explaining that the
connection is on his side of the service and that the

Re : Quintana
Dear Directors :
You requested that Paul and I give you a report on the Quintana
connection to your system. To better understand the current
problem a review of the West River Street Assessment District
may be in order.
1 . Development was being retarded along West River Street due
to lack of fire flow.
2 . Private fire systems were proposed and conceptually okayed,
however, the property owners and the Fire Protection District
felt the reliability of the community system was worth the extra
cost.
3 . Several public meetings were held with the property owners
' along West River Street --- some vocally opposed - some in favor.
4 . The Assessment as formed was the end result of the petitions
returned to the Board by 70% land owners effected .
5 . The purpose of the A.D. was to provide fire flow.
6 . Mr. Quintana applied to the Board to have his property included -
which was approved .
7 . Plans and Specifications , Notices , Resolutions and Assessments
were prepared in accordance with the Petition and directives that
the water main not be constructed in such a way as to provide service
to those beyond the limits of the A .D.
Service and line extensions beyond the A .D. are to come before the
Board for approval and must contribute to the overall cost.
8 . After the Bids were received (Quintana was asked to bid on the
job ) a protest hearing was held - Mr. Quintana filed a written pro-
test and asked to be excluded from the District .

9 . The Board, did not let Quintana out of the District, however,
his $4 , 600 assessment was reduced to $0.00 . The 320 L. F. of 6"
main to the east was also eliminated from the project at that time.
10 . Mr. Quintana asked to have the eliminated line reinstated
June 26th and to have the line extended some 300 feet beyond the
contract plans position. John stated in his letter, "as I under-
stand it our original assessment was slightly in excess of $4000
for this service" .
11 . Mr. Quintana was informed by our letter of July 7 , 1975 that :
1. His payment would be S7,266 . 19 .
2 . That Dart must contribute .
3. The line will be installed as per the contract plans .
` 4 . Payments must be made in full by July 10, 1975.
Copies of the letter were sent to Nevada County and to Wes Zachary.
12 . A final inspection of the completed work was conducted July 30 ,
1975 and the Notice of Completion was approved August 19 , 1975 .
13 . Mr. Quintana apparently connected his consumptive water line
into the County Building prior to the completion of the West River
Street Assessment District.
14 . Mr. Quintana entered into an agreement with the County some 26
_ days after the West River Street Assessment District work was done
r, and some seven days after the Notice of Completion was filed to :
1. Install a water line within 250 feet of the County Building .
r 2 . Provide 1,000 G. P.M.
i 3. Constructed in accordance with all T.D. P.U.D. requirements .
4 . "Said water line will also furnish water to" . . . Yates Body
Shop.
5. The Countyvall pay 112 of the line extension cost up. to
$3 , 644. 10 .
Conclusion :
A . Mr. Quintana has a contract to extend the now existing line
easterly to a point within 250 feet of the County Building to provide :
1. Fire flow to the County.
2. Water service to Yates Body Shop.
B. Mr. Quintana connected to the County Water Service for his (Yates ' )
consumptive water service with full and prior knowledge (July 7) that
consumptive water was not being provided by the 12" assessment
district line . As is the case with all other commercial property in
the assessment district.
C. The Board ' s policy as expressed by the contract plans would be
violated if he sold 112 of his assessment to the County.

MEMO TO OTHER DIRECTORS
FROM: Pat Sutton
RE: Quintana `later Hook-up
-- I believe that you deserve a detailed accounting of my
involvement in this matter since accusations and misinter-
pretations have been made in writing to the Board by Mr.
Quintana., and since the Manager' s reports have not contained
all the details . My interest in this matter could. just as.
well have been pursued in a like manner by a private citizen,
but since I am on the PUD Board I felt some responsibility
to try to untangle it. The following chronblogica.l repot-
is based on my -,mitten notes and best recollections . I have
not intentionally misrepresented any person, comment or event.
July 1, 1975: At the Board meeting on this date , the Directors
received copies of letters from the Nevada County Derartment
of Public ?".orks (June 23) and John Quintana (June 26) to
Ken Krajewski re: water service to both properties and
firefl.ow for County Maintenance Facility from the 7:RSAD lin e .
Dan Cook was at our meeting, and he asked for a ter_ta.tive
okay on a Change Order which would reinstate the construction
of the line extension toward Quintana' s property. He ex-
rlained that we-were not altering the WRSAD boundaries to
include the County property, but that Quintana' s property
was already geographically located withhthe Assessment District,
but had been given a zero assessment last fall when Quintana
asked to be excluded from the improvements . His exclusion
at that time had not affected the remainder of the 1"/RSAD , and
his extension could be reinstated now through a C-4"U-
without affecting the Assessment District.
In response to my question about the contents of the letters
from ^i.lintana and Nevada County regarding grater service for
both rroperties and fireflow for the County, Dan indicated
the water would come from the east instead of '.RSAD as far
he knew. v-¢. A") 8o /cs7y
July ? J 1975: At the adjourned Board meeting held. this date , Paul
bald a written Yemo to the Board giving amount of Quintana' s
adjusted assessment for his line extension as relayed by Dan
over the rhone that day. It was to be paid by July 10 in
order for the contractor to receive authorization to proceed
because the rest of the job would be finished by then. The
Board an--,roved the amount of the C .C.O. ` 3 to make the
Quintana extension. and the due date for the assessment t-o
be raid.
Sutton to Board re : Quintana 9/15/75 na,-e 2 I,V
JUly 7 , conkinued:
Letter this date from Cook to Quintana re: extension of
,1RSAD line "to the east 320 feet from the railroad crossing."
Attached summary detailed "C.C .U. #3 Quintana" including
the lineal footage of 6" main to be added to rroject. This
letter is marked received in PUD office on July 9 , so Mr.
Quintana should have received it prior to paying assessment
on July 10. and he should have known what he was _Haying for.
July 8, 1975: Paul' s letter to Quintana containing phrase
,uinta.na/Nevada County property," with attached memo to
Board dated July 7 and containing same phrase .
About July 17 or 18 , 197 5:
I happened to observe what appeared to be a trenching operation
across the County yard in direction of Q uintana' s building.
July 24, 1.975: After a Dart Committee meeting with Airport District
Board, I asked Dan about the WRSAD project. He inquired
whether I had heard anything about '?uintana being unhappy
with his line extension. I hadn' t heard anything about this ,
and Dan said that during the construction of the line extension,
Quintana had wanted the line to be built farther down West
River Street. Dan said that he had instructed the contractor
to terminate the line and place the hydrant precisely according
to the anDroved C.C .U. , which was what Quintana had paid Tor.
Aim-ust 13, 1975: I became aware that some contract for water
was being arranpAed between the County and Quintana. P•y -
curiosity was aroused since I recalled the corres,_.ondence. to
Ken in late June which indicated some sort of arrangement
between the County and Quintana , and since I was aware that
i•-- there was no water main in front of Quintana' s Property, and
since I knew that the :r7RSAD Quintana Char_p7e Order had not
gone as far east as Quintana apparently wanted it to go.
My -primary concern at that time was the integrity of the WRSku
line until that line had been accepted by theDistvict and
until some policy decisions had been made by the Board regard-
ing future hook-urs. It had always seemed to me that the
�Board would have to establish some policies on this line to
guide IT-S administration since it had been paid
for by property owners , rrimarily to provide themselves with
fi_refl.ow to meet reouirements necessary for the development
of their properties. _ I was concerned that the County and
Quintana wRxa might be making some arrangement to extend the
WP.SAD line before the necessary decisions had been made by
the Board on future hook-ups and extensions .
That afternoon I asked Paul where Quintana would get water
service for his building since there is no water main passing
by his property. He indicated that he didn' t know. I asked
ZZ
i Sutton to Board ret Quintana 9/15/75 _pale 3
Au�-t)st 13, continued:
him if ^uintana had a-n-oli.ed for a hook-ur. He indicated he
didn' t know. I asked him who would know He wasn' t sure . I
asked him if Ken Krajewski might- know. He said that he would
find out.
I told Paul the basis for my concern: the integrity of the
WRSAD line , and the -possibility of a contract between Quintana
and the County which might involve that line .
Aug-u.st 15, 1975s I discovered that Quintana' s building was occupied
and had water service . I told Paul that I wanted to discuss
Quintana' s water service with Ken and that I wished him to
arranp-e it and be present.
I asked Ken where Quintana was getting his water. Ken said
that as far as he knew Quintana didn' t have any water. I
assured him that the building did have water, including a toilet
that flushes , and a water box out in front. Ken said that he
didn' t know how or where Quintana could have obtained water.
He conjectured that he might have a line in the river, that he
might be connected into Twin States.)water line in the river,
or that he might even be connected into the County building
next-door.-
Ken then volunteered that he was Positive that it was not coming
from the WRSAD line . I asked him0 how he could be so positive
_ about that if he didn' t know where it was comin-- from.- He said
because there was only one road crossing up by the homes . We
agreed that there was so evidence of any other road crossing
or any disturbance of the terrain along the r oad which might
indicate aline installation.
Alrost in unison both Paul and Ken volunteered that the WRSAD
.Line "fell short , " both usinr7 the same phraseology. I asked
: what they meant by that, and they indicated that the line had
not been extended as far as it was supposed to have been extended.
I told them that my information from: Dan Cook A,,--as that the line
extension had been constructed exactly as planned and according
to what was paid for by Quintana and as outlined in Dan' s letter.
I told Ken I would ar.•preciate it if he would find out where
Quintana was getting- his vrer.
I left the office shortly after with the intention of going to
the Post Office . When I observed Kent in his pickup jijj"
at the Gateway Fire Station, I decided on the spur
of the moment to go down to Quintana's building and talk to
.dim Yates , the tenant, myself. He wasn' t in so I proceeded to
the Post Office . Ken' s pickup was then at the downtown Fire
House , so I decided since he wasn' t in much of a hurry to check
on Quintana' s water- service after all I )d-_j;:90oack to Yates Body
Shop and waiter for Jim to return. After -erhars half an hour
23
Sutton to Board re : Quintana ramie 4
Avp�ust 1.5, continued:
I decided to �-_o on home and return later. When I did see
Jim later, after Ken and Paul had checked with him, he did
not ar.-oear to have any knowledge of the source of his water
service since it was installed before he occupied the building.
He said that his lease did not include free water, and he
presumed he 'd be billed monthly by the PLTD for water. He
was sure the stater wasn' t coming from the river because he ' d
be aware of a pumring operation.
Later I saw Paul at the office again, and he recounted his
conversation with Jim Yates , which coincided with mine , and
Paul indicated he was trying to make contact with Quintana.
I asked Paul to examine the Work Orders for water hook-ups
and hook-up applications with me so that we could determine if
the District had any record that Quintana, Yates , or Nevada
County had apr.lied for water, been connected, etc . We did
not examine Work Orders , but did look over the hook-up appli-
cations . Quintana had only made application for an electrsc
hook-up and Yates had sit-ned an electric service application;
Nevada County had ar,r.lied for both water and electric hook-ups
to its new building in March, 1975.
That afternoon I tried to call Wes Zachery, Der.uty County
Lnaineer, who had v ritten the June 23 letter to Ken. He was
on vacation for the next week or, so, and Terry Lowell , the
Director of Public Works , was out of the office for the rest
of the afternoon.
Auanst 18 , 1975 (Monday) : I placed a call for Terry Lowell who
returned it about midday. I asked him what kind of arrange-
rent the County was making with Quintana for water. He said
he was finalizine' a contract with Quintana to provide water
service and fi.ref low for the new Maintenance Facility; it
would involve extending a i,�,ater line and Installing a fire
hydrant, etc .
Terry Said that the County would pa},r half of Q uintana' s
assessment for NIRSAD . I told him that the :'IRSAD line was
already extended as far as it was going* to be extended under
Quintana' s assessment. lie thought the line hadn' t been
finished yet. I assured him that "Acceptance of the 11RSAD
Line" was an Agenda item. for the PUD meeting the next night,
August 1-9 . I told him that the extension was not only com-
pleted, but had been installed according_ to the V:RSAD plans
and the Quintana. C .C.O. according_- to my information from Dan.
I asked Terry how the-County coii].d make a contract with anyone
to sur.•rly them with water and fi_reflow from our lines without
eonsultina the District. He said the County' s contract with
Quintana would require the contractor to make arrancrements
for any Line extension, hook-up, etc . , and that the work would
have to be done according to our specifications and directions .

Ilk
AuFrust 18 , continuedr
I said it certainly didn' t appear that the District knew
what was going on. He felt, to -the contrary, that Ken knew
because Zachery had conferred with him.
He read some letters in his file on the fireflow for the
new County facility. The letters included copies of letters
from Dan Cook to Ken Krajewski on October 25 and November 8,
1974, detailine: plans for a County-Quinta-na water installa-
tion from the south and east of the County -property, including
sketches , etcl; letters from the County to the Truckee Fire
District, etc . , including ones dated this summer, indicating
that the County -planned to obtain firef low and service from
t he MSAD extension. We both rremarked that there should
have been xhmmk some recent letter of confirmation from the
PUD on the ;'iRSAD arrangement, but Terry couldn' t find anything
like that in his file .
I al-so asked him if he had any idea where Quintana right be
wetting his water service since no one at the PUD knew anything
about it, and since Quintana hadn' t applied for service . He
said he didn' t know. I t old him that I had observed what I
thought was a- trenching operation across the County yard a
r,onth previous toward Quintana' s building. He said that he
was told there were some drainage -problems and perhaps that
was what I had observed. I asked him if there -was any possi-
bility that Quintana might have tied into the County water
ser vice , since Ken had suggested it, or if Quintana might
have crossed through the County yard to connect to the PUD
water line in the street to the east of the County property.
Terry indicated that he had no knowledge of either possibility.
He said that a connection to the County service would be
illegal he thought.
I saw Paul briefly at the office . He informed me that Quintana
had been in the office and had said that he had connected to
the County water serviee . Further discussion revealed that
Paul had not r:ersonally seen Quintana , but that Ken had told
him that Quintana had been in and that Quintana had told Ken
that he had connected to the County service . I asked Paul
if he intended to confirm this by some method. He said that
he would.
I told Paul that I had reason to believe that some corresnondence
existed thatshould be in our files and that I ,*fished to review
it. He asked where I thought he should start looking for it.
I told him that if there wasn' t anything in the usual files
he should probably try the files in Ken' s office . He said that
he would ask Ken for it "quietly. I asked him what he meant
by "quietly." He explained that since Ken and I had a problem,
he wouldn' t ask for it while I was there because then he might _
not be able to obtain it. I told him that if he was afraid of
that ha--^-rening then held bett-er fire Ken.

Aur-ust 1.8 . continued:
I atterPted to see the Fire Marshall, Reuben h:aki . that
afternoon. Later by Phone we made an appointment for the
next rrorninp.
August 19 , 1975 (Tuesday) I talked to Reuben about fireflow
requirements , etc . He indicated that the hydrant at the
eastern termination of .the WRSAD line (Quintana' s extension)
wasn' t quite as close as they like it, but it was close
enough to ''uintana' s building to satisfy the TFD fireflow
requirements . He confirmed that this hydrant was not, however,
close enough to the County facility and some arrangement
woiild still have to be made for its fireflow,
He indicated that from the TFD viewpoint the plan last fall
to put in a 6" main to the east of the County property was
a better solution for the general area, but that the Fire
District doesn' t involve i_tTself in those kind of decisions
as loner as the fireflow is satisfied , and that whe-be the
water Mould come from would be the PUD' s concern.
I asked to see anything: in the TFD files that would be helpful
in determining what the situation was . There were a number
of letters spanning the past year between the County and TFD,
Cook' s October & November, 1.974 letters to Krajewski , etc .
I asked for copies of Dan' s letter of October 1974 to KK
(because -it contained more details referred to in the Novem-
er letter) and Zachery' s letter to TFD on June 30, 1975
which asked for an extension of time for fireflow require-
ments compliance until mid-July when he expected the WRSAD
line to be completed . (Zachery' s letter, dated before ,." <'...,<
even tentative approval
on ^uintana' s line extension had been before the Board,
stateds "have at this time taken the necessary steps to have
^ the waterline which is currently being constructed by the
Public Utility District on West River Street extended to the
County Facility to meet with your required fire flow."
There appeared to be no correspondence from the PUD confirming
any arra.nt-emer_t for the County to receive service and fireflow
from the WRSAD line .
This lack of written confirmation by anyone connected with
the PUD continued to puzzI6 me . I talked to Reuben again.
later on the phone and he verified that there was no written
confirmation in his file on the County' : plan to obtain
fireflow from WRSAD. He indicated that the TFD wouldn' t
reaard such confirmation as a necessity to grant the extension
of time on the -oresumptior_ that the County knew it had to
make the necessary arran¢ements with the PUD.
AUGUST 19 Board Meetings Paul retorted to- the Board that John
Quintana, accompanied by Newt Freitas of the Co>>nty Road
Department, had been in the office that morning and had talked
to Paul and Ken. Paul told the Board tr_at Quintana had told v945-. <
Sutton to board res Quintana 9/15/75 page 7
Ai)-ust 10, continued:
that he had extended our water line from near the Standard
XYaX Oil Comrany plant to serve his building_. Paul was asked
to show the Directors on the map where the extension was
made , but he preferred to draw a diagram on the chalkboard.
His first diagram would have required a road crossing. When
asked about the lack of any visable road crossing+ he there
-9== indicated he couldn' t ex-plain 'Quintana' s hoof:-up after
all.
August 20, 1975:
I went to the office in the early afternoon to do some
research on another matter. Paul gave me a file of Quintana/
Nevada County correspondence to review. It contained cor_ ies
of the same correspondence res WRSAD that the Board had
received from June , 1975
At the coffee pot in the hall I told Paul that this file
didn' t contain the letters. I was interested in seeing since
I already had them.. I told him once again that there should
be other correspondence which should be in some District
file .
Paul went into Ken' s office while I was still in the hall and
I heard him ask Ken if there was anything else . I heard Ken
reply that there wasn' t anything else . Paul returned to the
hall and reported to me that there wasn' t anything else in
the files . I said that I knew that there should 'ce some
other correspondence , and that I had already obtained conies
of several letters , including one from Dan to Ken which very
definitely should be in our file . As I told Paul that it
didn' t matter whether they were available through the District
or not because I could get conies from the other agencies
r involved, Ken was arproaching the hall from his office saying
that there wasn' t anything_ else in the file , He immediately
t urned around and within 30 seconds ar•reared in the Board
Room, where I gone , with a file in his hands . He gave me the
file with the exr»lanation that he didn' t know what I wanted
and he was just looking under "'Quintana." I told
him it was strange that he couldn' t find anything else when
the heading on the file read "Quintana, Nevada County, W!j.Rivbr St"
or a reasonable equivalent. This file did contain conies of
the letters from Dan to Ken last fall_ on the 'Quintana property/
Nevada County property fireflow solutions, letters between
Nevada County and the TF'D , a letter from Y!aki to Cook in
. October, etc .
August 21, 1e715s I talked to Terry Lowell . I told hir-a that I
was ar-Darentl.y wrong about the -possibility that Quintana' s
line might be through the County yard or to the County service .
I exrlained that Paul had resorted to the Board at the August
19 meeting that Quintana had rersonally exrlained to him that
he had extended oub- water line in W , River Street from the
east to serve his property.
Terry said that Quintana had called him the previous day
('�"?ednedday, August 20) and told him that he had connected into
Ai)�-i)st 21, continued:
the County water service . He said that Quintana had also
told him that Ken had told him to solve his problem of water
to his building.: temporarily anyway he wanted. Terry and I
agreed that it was difficult to decide what to believe since
Quintana seemed to have a variety of exnlana.tions . We dis-
cussed the easiest way to determine whether the latest version
was true: turn off the water at the County service and
observe what happened to the water at Quintana' s building.
He said he would reQuest the District to do this.
Terry main expressed doubt that the WRSAD line extension
was actually completed. He said that in a recent shone con-
versation with Paul, Paul had said he "thou?;ht" the INIRSAD
line was finished. I told his: that this was a strange way
of putting it when the Board had taken action to accent the
line on August 19 , and the item was placed on the agenda
during the previous week.
We discussed whether the County contract , which had not yet
been approved by the Board of Supervisors , would put the
County in a vulnerable rosition from the standpoint of raying
half of Quintana' s assessment for the WRSAD extension which
did not serve the County facility' s fireflow needs . Terry
said that the contract provides for a line extension to serve
those needs without stipulating where the water comes from.
Terry suggested that I talk to Quintana personally and ask
him to explain where he was getting his water. I explained
t hat since I was not acquainted with Quintana , and since
Paul was already in touch with him on the matter, I didn' t
feel that I should interfere by making contact with him myself.
August 22, 1975 (Friday) : Paul called to tell me that Terry Lovell
had authorized a turn-off of the County' s water to see if
^uintana had connected into that water service . He had tenter
tively set the time and date of the turn-off for 8 A.T . on
Tuesday, August 26. I told him that I did not feel a great
comr.ulsion to witness this oneration as long as it was properly
observed and if the President of the Board was present.
Z!ug,Ast 26, 1975 (Tuesday) : I decided to witness the turn-off after
all and went'' to the office at 8 A•�-,. After John came , he
and Paul and I xxx reviewed the hook-up ar__.plication list
again for County and Quintana.
John & I went with Paul to the Quintana. buildings; Ken went
to the older County building. Freitas was visible outside
near Ken before Ken shut off the water at the County water
box. Eater f lowin-- from a hose attached to Quintana' s build-
ing stopped .
As we returned to the PUD office , Hohn and I both indicated
that we thought the route of the pipe should be located by
the District. Paul expressed som..e concern for causing the
County some embarrassment. I asked him who he thought might
be embarrassed. His answer was vague but seemed to be about

August 26, continued:
the County in general. I told him that my conversations with
Terry Lowell didn' t indicate that Terry Lowell as Director
of Public Works would be embarrassed by whatever turned out.
Paul also indicated that he did not want any of this to be
blamed on Ken; he assured us that Ken knew nothin,= about
any of it; he indicated that he regarded my interest in the
entire matter as a result of a nersona.l dislike for Ken; and
he indicated that he wouldn' t stand for Ken to be blamed in
any way.
We did agree that Paul was to call Terry Lowell that day to
inform him that the turn-off confirmed that Quintana' s water
was connected to the County service , and that the District
has equipment to locate water ripes .
Can this date , in confirmation of his phone conversation with
Lowell, Paul wrote a letter to Lowell retarding the "improper
water connection, " enclosing Section 7 of rules & regulations
ree-arding "Resale of grater."
AuF-ust 28, 1975 (Thursday) : I had an opportunity to talk briefly
with Dan Cook about the Quintana hook-up. He said that he
believed that Quintana' s original plan his development
was for, a warehouse which might not -i eo uired a water hook-up.
Jack Marquette was also -eresent , and Dan suggested that he
right errant to look into buintana' s sewer connection since he
had r_wate ' a toilet that flushes and there is not a sewer
main past his property.
September 2 , 1975 (Tuesday) : I talked briefly to Terry Lowell
who said he had mailed a letter to the District. the r•revious
week re�ardin¢ Quintana ' s hoof.-up to the County sevice.
He assured rr.e I that the County would not be embarrassed by
�-- any revelations about the hook-up or any action the PUD
Board might decide to take . I told him that I did not believe
the Board would take any action that mould renalizze Quintana' s
i
tenant at this time .
Board Yee tin�ir: John Quintana did not at+pear at the meeting
after all. A letter from him was read by his attorney.
Dan Cook cam to meeting about midnight and we talked. with him
about Quintana, :rRSAD line , etc . During the meeting, I
asked Paul about the letter from Terry Lowell, he sAld hoe
wasn' t aware of one coming; in. E
Ser..tember 3, 1.975: I went to Building Inspector' s office at the
Truckee Government Center to see what might be shorn for
water service among uublic documents on Quintana' s voperty.

September 9, 1975 (Tuesday) : Talked by shone with J. Marquette . 28.
He confirmed that there is no sewer line in front of Q uintana' s
property. He said that from TSD' s standroint, Quintana had
a. legal hookup because he did nake apr.lication, :aid his fee
for insr.ection, and it was arrroved R:ay 21.' He told me that
the sever line does cross County yard and is connected into
the County service . He assured me it was in a completely
separate trench from the water service .
September 10, 1975 (�',�ednesday) : Terry Lowell returned my call. I
asked him if Quintana had an easement for his sewer service
across the County yard. He said he did not, and did not have
official permission.
He thanked me for sending him a copy of Q uintana' s September .l
letter to the PUD because he hadn' t received one from Quintana
although a copy to Lovell showed on the letter.
Regarding the water hookup, Q uintana/County contract for water,
and the problem in reneral, Terry questioned whether the PUD
didn' t have some responsibility to determine employee involve-
ment in Quintana water service and QQ uintana' s understanding.
that L7RSAD inclusion would provide his property and County
with water service and fireflow..
I told him that at various times I had been assured by Per.
Krajewski , Mr. Hobensack and .T. r. Quintana that he had acted
completely inderendently in his water hook-up. I had also
been assured on several occasions by
Hobensa.ck that no one was responsible for any x=W misunderstand-
ing on the 7hRSAD line , and no arrangement had been made to
allow Quintana to get water from that line for any purpose .
Since some of these messages had been absolute., and lacking
any other information, I told Terry that at t&is time I had
to presume that no one at the PL"J knew anything about anything
having to do with Quintana. 30
