REPORT FROT WATER CO^'NITTE'EE
The Committee met with all members present on Wednesday,
December 28. The main item of business was consideration of
problems related to the Dart request to begin the environmental
process on two new well sites , which had been referred to the
Committee by the Board at the December 19 Regular r"eeting.
The Committee did not attempt to evaluate the Dart proposal,
but specific concerns about the proposal, including those
expressed individually by Directors since December 19 , were
reviewed.
The Committee concluded, early in the discussion, that the
specific concerns about the Dart proposal are related to a. more
basic problems the lack of a suitably revised water agreement
to provide guidelines for the development of additional water
source and transmission facilities to serve Tahoe-Dor_ner' s
rea ui-r.ements .
The Committee discussed criteria which could be incorporated in
a. revised water agreement in order to accomplish objectives
related to specific concerns about the Dart proposal.
The objectives which the Committee has tentatively defined area
1. The District will participate in the selection of
sites for well development.
a) Wells supplying total demand will be located in
�.... more than one general area.
b) Wells will be located so that they are non-related.
c) Wells will be located as near to the -point of
use as possible .
2. The District will require more than one transmission
route to deliver total suprly to the subdivision.
3. The District will require proposed well sites to be
evaluated by an independent hydrology consultant,
responsible to the District before approval is given
to development.

MANAGER'S REPORT
JANUARY 4, 1978
1 . REPORT ON FEEDER "F" REBUILD FIELD INSPECTION BY R. W. BECK
Preparation of the report on Feeder "F" rebuild field inspection by
W. Beck was turned over to Bob Slattery and Pete Silva; their report is at-
ched.
STATUS OF CUSTOMER REFUNDS DUE TO S.P.P. Co. REBATE
Work is progressing on calculating the consumption by each customer
for the rebate period. This is being done in conjunction with the preparation
of new meter pages. The calculations are taking longer than anticipated with
approximately 1-i books being completed per day. We are finding that because
of numerous changes in customers on the same meter and meter change-outs, the
time required to complete a book is longer than anticipated. It may be the
end of January before this process is completed.
Meanwhile, the computer programming company is at work writing a
new program that will make it possible for the refund computations to be made
on the computer. Relating to this particular problem, is the promised delivery
of the high-speed printer this week.
3. REVIEW OF SEPTEMBER FINANCIAL REPORT
The Board has asked for clarification of an item described as real
property - PUD house. This asset is listed as having a value of $24,959. In-
vestigation reveals that this amount was apparently conjured by our auditors
three years ago, and represents the value of the PUD house plus other prop-
erties that are not part of plant-in-service.
To truly clarify this matter, I recommend that research be under-
=aken to determine the facts and develop a list of all PUD property, manner
n which such property was acquired, acquisition cost, and of which depart-
ient it is an asset. This can perhaps be included in the workshop sessions
scheduled with the auditors prior to the issuance of the final audit report.
The second item on September's Financial Report relates to interest
charged to the Water Department. There should be a $98.00 item shown for the
current month for interest charged to the Water Department; this interest is
interest on sewer assessments. The report erroneously shows the amount as
$288.00. The reason for the difference is that interest chargeable to the
Electric Department for a truck loan was mistakenly charged to the Water De-
partment.
4. UPDATE ON STORM DAMAGE
During the recent storm period from December 15 through December 30,
1977, 18 distribution fuses were blown and one 60,000 volt primary fuse was
blown. The primary fuse is on the high side of the transformer bank serving
MANAGER'S REPORT
January 4, 1978
Page 2
UPDATE ON STORM DAMAGE - continued
Tahoe Donner. It appears that the fuse is improperly sized for the trans-
former and circuit breaker installation. The distribution fuses that were
blown were located in various areas of Donner Lake, down town, and Prosser
_,', -ights. All blown fuses were caused by short circuits from wind and trees
filling across the lines. Four poles were lost due to falling trees; some
istomers were without service for up to two days. The total outage time
.as approximately 400 customer hours; an estimated labor and material cost
to repair damage is $7,000.
5. ALTERNATIVES FOR AFTER-HOURS CALL-OUT PROCEDURES
The first customer that calls in with a power outage or water
problem is connected to the tape recorder and is informed of the after
hour emergency numbers to call ; if a second customer calls in while the
first caller is on the line, he is switched to a line without a recording
and is unable to get an answer. This causes extreme frustration on the
part of the customer.
A second problem occurs after the service man has left his home.
Subsequent calls are answered by his wife or are unanswered. This creates
a burden on the employee' s wife and dissatisfaction on the part of the
customer.
To alleviate this situation, I have looked into the following pos-
sibilities:
a) Increasing the number of answering devices;
r1 b) Employing an answering service; or
c) Employing a local shut-in resident to answer all service
calls.
The first alternative can be accomplished through the telephone
company for a $90 installation charge on each additional line and $24.40 per
month on each line for the answering equipment.
To utilize the services of a company such as the North Shore Answer-
ing Service, the cost per month would be $43.50 for the first line and $33.50
per month for each additional line that they answer. Each line would have an
allowance of 150 calls per month with a 20C per call charge for each call in
addition to the basic allowance.
The third alternative is more of an idea that a firm suggestion.
However, if a suitable individual could be found in the Truckee area, we
could arrange with the telephone company to have a line extension to their
house so that after hours all calls would be switched to a telephone in the
answering party's house. They could then contact the appropriate lineman or
serviceman if necessary. Additionally, a line could be obtained from the tele-
phone company to extend the calls from our radio base station to the answering
party's house so contact with the trucks in the field would be possible. A
vice such as this might be very worthwhile if a reliable person could be
id.

ALTERNATIVES FOR AFTER-HOURS CALL-OUT PROCEDURES - continued
Prior to making a commitment, I recommend the three alternatives
receive further study.
UPDATE ON WATER CONSUMPTION
Water consumption for the month of December was approximately 50% of
that of August, 1977. During the winter months, we do not keep daily records
of water consumption; records are kept on a monthly basis. Total consumption
for December, 1977 was 25,770,000 gallons compared with 54,900,000 gallons in
August. Normal December consumption is approximately 1/3 of the August con-
sumption, which indicates that there was an increase in use due to the tourist
influx in the last two weeks of the month.
7. SUMMARY OF COST TO INSTALL SECURITY LIGHTS
Material and installation cost to install a security light on a tree
or building is approximately $157.00. If a pole is required, an additional
$160.00 in cost is involved. The energy cost to provide the electricity for
a security light is estimated at $1 .50 per month. Current rates for security
lights are as follows:
a) With no pole involved $4.00 per month
b) With pole required $6.00 per month.
It requires approximately 63 months to recover the installation cost
of a security light mounted on a building or tree, and approximately 71 months
to recover the amount of a security light mounted on a pole. Our current rates
'require that a 48 month contract be signed by the customer which is not suf-
ficient to cover the initial installation cost.
Based on current costs, we would have to charge $4.80 per month for
a security light mounted on a building or tree in order to recover our initial
cost plus the cost of energy over a four-year period. For a security light
mounted on a utility pole, we would have to charge $8. 10 per month to recover
our costs over a four-year period.
recommend that the matter be referred to the Electric Committee to
determine a new rate for security lights that will enable us to recover our in-
itial construction costs and monthly energy costs plus cover our overhead and
operating expense.

ITEM #2 The Sags & Tensions of Conductors
The line was visually checked for sag and conductor clearances
on January 3, 1978; no problems related to ruling span changes
were noted. Temperature was 30 degrees F and minor snow loading
at some locations. District has no mechanical means of checking
with lines energized.
ITEM #3 Pole F-7

This was part of the negotiated settlement and material to complete
has been furnished by the contractor. Will be completed by District
as time permits.
ITEM #4 Pole F-8
Possible Uplift
This pole was checked from all angles and under all weather con-
ditions (no transit available) . There appears to be no notice-
able uplift strain on pole. Will recheck when survey instruments
are available and correct to engineer's recommendations if war-
ranted.

r-MORANDUM
J: Board of Directors
FROM: Mary Chapman
SUBJECT: September, 1977 Financial Statement
As requested by Pat Sutton, I have been asked to explain a $19 ,260
interdepartmental adjustment which appears on the September financial
statement.
Each year, when we prepare the Standby Revenue bills , a percentage is
assigned to the portion of the total billed for electric standby and for
water standby. This percentage is applied to the revenue received and
credited to the proper department.
The percentage breakdown was applied incorrectly for the revenues
received from January through August, 1977. Therefore, after correcting
the error, an adjustment was necessary to transfer revenues that appeared
in the water department over to the electric department.
Should you have any further questions , please do not hesitate to
ask.

REVISIGi,i RE-Q-UESTED: The second sentence under this item is
difficult to comprehend and should be revised:
"President Sutton st^ted that she had concerns reKarding
the continued dz-velorr^ent beyond the Test River Street
Assessment District water 1ine, since it was constructs ,

GENERAL CORRECTIONS: all ty op�raphical errors should be corrected
in final ap-oroved copy of Minutes kI didn' t call attention to
isolated ty-pos ;but there are some) , ,and personalization of Board
or District should be corrected wherever not specifically called
to attention, including on pages 5 & 6 of draft.
NOTES I think that for her first draft , Susan did a creditable
job of composing- R"inutes with content. I do not wish to continue
spendinra this much time & effort on Minute corrections ; I thought
the feedback viould be helpful on this' draft, however. Hopefully,
some technicalities called to attention in these corrections will
not rrerert -robler s in subeeo uent drafts .
