General Status of the District There have been no electrical or water outages of any note since the last Board Meeting. As of this meeting date, Units 8, 9, and 10 in Tahoe Donner are in the process of being connected to the rest of the system. The in- stallation of services in these units will begin this week. 2. Sierra Pacific Power Company - Rate Increase At an informal hearing held by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Reno on October 4, 1979, the parties to the rate increase agreed on a final rate settlement. The new rates will be $3.96 per kilowatt for demand charge and 2.16cP per kilowatt hour for the energy charge plus a fuel charge for all fuel costs in excess of 1-8248(t per kilowatt hour. In addition to the above charges there will be a monthly customer charge of $1,100 each month. This rate will take effect in approximately three to four months when acted upon and approved by the full Energy Regulatory Commission. The District will then receive a refund for all the overcharge back to August 13,11979, To give you an idea of the refund, our September bill was some $3,923.50 higher than it would have been under the final rate settlement. Based on this, I would guess that we will have probably between $12,000 and $20,000 in refund coming depending upon the exact date of Commission approval. 3. Boca and Prosser Dam Hydro Project We have received a Notice of Petition to Intervene in the initial permit processing before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The petition filed by Sierra Pacific Power Company states that they have the exclusive right to build any power plants at Boca Dam. It is based on a contract or agreement between Sierra Pacific Power Company and the Washoe Conservation District dated December 29, 1936- I have forwarded this on to Tudor Eng- ineering for their review as well as to Martin McDonough. If the contract is good, then we may not be able to construct a hydroelectric station at Boca or we may have to do it in cooperation with Sierra Pacific.

Box 309 Truckee, CA 95734 Dear Milt: As per our conversation in your office yesterday, I am confirming to you that Jim Porter's letter to Steve Grumer dated September 26, 1979 represents my agreement to settle all outstanding matters with the P.U.D. as set forth therein. Also, I understand from you that I have now overpaid my electric connection fee for the new building by $25.00. However, I owe a water connection fee of $720.00 for a 1" line. This fee covers connection charge, tapping fee and facility fee. Accordingly, enclosed is my check for $720.00 - $25.00 = $695.00. With this payment it is my understanding that all fees for the new building have been paid and all amounts due on the, existing building have also been paid. Thank you for your cooperation.

Truckee-Donner Public Utility District P. O. Box 309 - - - --� Truckee, California 95734 Re : David R. Belding Southside Highlands #1 , Lot 46 Southshore Drive Donner Lake Water Zone Gentlemen : During the morning of Sunday, September 16 , 1979 my family and I were at our home on Southshore Drive at Donner Lake when we began experiencing electrical problems . Certain lights on one circuit would dim considerably, and several minutes later the same lights or lights on another circuit would become intensely bright. After breakfast the problem seemed to have remedied itself , but while I was watching a morning football game a popping noise came from the television and the television blacked out. The reset button on the rear of the television set would not re- activate the unit. About one-half hour after I experienced difficulty with the television set my stereo receiver emitted flames and smoke and it also became inoperative. As a result of these problems I removed my family from the residence and returned to our home in Reno, Nevada. The first thing Monday morning , September 17 , 1979 I contacted your organization and was informed by Evelyn that Pete Silva would check on the matter. Later during the day I talked with Mr. Silva who indicated that he had inspected the exterior of the home and found that a bad ground had caused the problem. I asked Mr. Silva whether the ground was on a line that was the responsibility of the homeowner or a line that was the responsiblity of your organization, and he informed me that Truckee-Donner Public Utility District October 1, 1979 Page Two the line in question was my responsibility. I made an arrange- ment with Mr. Silva to be present at the property with an elec- trician whom I was bringing with me from Reno, Nevada. On Wednesday , September 19 , 1979 I met a repairman at my home and he cut the service to the meter and removed the meter. My 'electrician, Mr. Roscoe Hilburn, repaired the bad aluminum wire ground which was located on the power supply side of your power meter. Both your repairman and Mr. Hilburn agreed that from the condition of the aluminum wire ground it was obvious that such wire was not giving a proper ground and that the problems had been caused by such aluminum wire. Upon questioning by myself and Mr. Hilburn your repairman reiterated that the ground wire on the power supply side of your organization's power meter was my responsibility, and not the responsibility of your company. Mr. Hilburn, an electrician for over thirty years , informed me that the bad ground was on the portion of the power supply line which was. the responsibility of your organization. Prior to even checking the problem it was necessary . for your repairman to remove the power meter , and of course I would not be allowed to remove such meter and check the wires and grounds without your agent being present and doing the removal. Upon checking with other electricians and the local . power company in- Reno, Nevada I. have been advised by all indivi- duals that the ground problem in question was the responsibility �^^ of your company. I have further been advised by the repair or- ganization which serviced my television set that their experience with local utilities has always been that such companies have responded to repairs to appliances made necessary as a result of bad grounds on the company side of a power meter. Enclosed please find a photocopy of invoice number 80681 from Professional TV Service which shows total repairs necessary to my television in the amount of $170 .00 . Also enclosed please find my Master Charge Draft Number 5499011 showing that on September 27 , 1979 I paid the $170 .00 charge for repair of my television set. Truckee-Donner Public Utility District October 1 , 1979 Page Three Please immediately forward this correspondence and the enclosure to your insurance carrier so that payment for my damages can be made to me immediately. If you or your insurance carrier have any questions whatsoever please contact me directly at my office telephone number listed on this correspondence , or please feel free to contact Mr. Ron Rogers at Professional TV Service at 702-786-6781. As of this date I do not know what repairs will be necessary to my stereo system, and I have also noted that my electronic burglar alarm system is inoperative. If I am not able to remedy the problems with these items by replacement of fuses they will also have to be repaired and I will submit invoices for such repairs to your organization for payment.
