DONNER
Public Utility District
CONSENT
To: Board of Directors
From: Ed Taylor
Date: June 04, 2008
Subject: Adopt a Resolution Amending Various Donner Lake Parcels from
Assessment
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
This matter involves amending the assessment for certain parcels within the Donner
Lake Assessment District. Only the Board can make changes to the assessments.
2. HISTORY
The Donner Lake Assessment District can only assess parcels that benefit from the
water system.
Since the District took over providing water services to the Donner Lake area,
amendments to parcel assessments have been made for:
* A parcel was deemed unbuildable.
* A parcel should have a one and a half assessment for a main house and a second
unit.
* Lots merged into one parcel should have one assessment.
* A parcel was too small to build on.
* A parcel was too isolated from the water system improvements and would not
receive a benefit.
* A parcel is used for utility purposes only.
3. NEW INFORMATION
The following parcels require assessment amendments:
* Stephen Cook, APN 18-390-23: parcel should be charged a one and a half
assessment for a main house and second unit. Mr. Cook has been charged a double
assessment. The reduction will be $3,462.77
* AT&T, APN 17-170-22: parcel is used only as communications site and will never
benefit from the water system. The assessment has been paid through 06/07. AT&T
requested a permanent waiver for the remaining balance of $5,012.09 (see attached
letter).
* John Pawek, APN 069-130-58: assessment impound was part of his development
agreement. Official Board action is required.
* Jon Dickson, APN 17-182-01: parcel too small to build on.
The common area parcels still need board action to officially remove them from the
Donner Lake Assessment District. A workshop will be held in July regarding this
issue.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact is a reduction of $8,474.86.
5. RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the resolution amending parcels impacted by the Donner Lake Assessment
District.

RE: Donner Lake water assessment, APN 17-170-22
AT&T has maintained a communications site at 10065 Donner Lake Road since June
2003. The building on the site will only require electric services from Truckee Donner
Public Utility District and will never need water services.
AT&T would like to request an exemption from the Donner Lake Assessment District
charge for the tax year 2008/2009 forward. The assessment has been paid through the
tax year 2006/2007. The parcel will never benefit from the rebuilding of the Donner Lake
water system.
AT&T would appreciate your consideration on this matter. If you have any questions
regarding this request, please contact Paul Tasin, 925-823-7706

Carolyn Huffman, AT&T Operations Manager
Sincerely,

Reso ution No. 2008-XXX
Amending Resolution No. 2001-09 by
Amending Certain Donner Lake Assessments
WHEREAS the Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 2001-09 which made
determinations, confirmed assessments and proceedings, ordered the acquisition and
construction of improvements and took certain other actions relating to Donner Lake Water
Assessment District No. 00-1; and
WHEREAS, subsequent to adoption of Resolution No. 2001-09, certain information has
come to light regarding specific property of record as follows:
1. Specific property owner of record whose parcel was assessed as two full assessments
and should be assessed as multiple dwelling units; and
2. That certain parcels are too small to build on, should be removed from the water
system improvements and shall therefore never benefit from the improvements made
by the assessment district; and
3. Certain parcels are used for public purposes and will never benefit from the
improvements made by the assessment district; and
4. A certain property owner's development agreement states responsibility for the
assessment; and
WHEREAS THE District determines that, based on the above findings, certain assessment
confirmed in Resolution 2001-09 should be amended or repealed;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
DISTRICT AS FOLLOWS:
1. The parcel assessment for Stephen Cook, 13264 Donner Pass Road, Truckee, CA.,
APN 18-390-23 shall be adjusted to$10,388.28, rather than$13,851.05.This exception
is consistent that a parcel should get a one and a half assessment when there is a main
house and a second unit on the same parcel.
2. The parcel assessment for AT&T, 10065 Donner Lake Road, Truckee, CA., APN 17-
170-22 will only require electric services and will never need water services, therefore
shall never benefit from the improvements made by the assessment district and
assessment should be exempted.
3. The parcel assessment for John Pawek, APN 069-130-058, shall be assessed
according to a development agreement dated November 2001.
1 Resolution 2008-XX
4. The parcel assessments on the following parcel, said parcel being too small to build on
or being located such as to not benefit from the water system improvements, shall be
rescinded: Jon Dickson, APN 17-182-01.
5. All other resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors shall remain in effect except to
the extent that the terms therein conflict with the terms of this resolution.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Directors at a meeting duly called and held
