DIRECTOR UPDATE
President Bender said as some of you may know, Director Pat Sutton passed away on Sat-

Robert Jr., Eric, Keith, and Paula. The Board would like to express its deepest condolences
to the Sutton family regarding their loss. Pat was extremely dedicated to public
service. Overall she gave this Board 31 years of service as a Director starting back in 1973.
There was only one break in her service when she served on the Nevada County Board of
Supervisors. In all, Pat Sutton has given over 37 years of service to this District and our
community. President Bender would like to direct staff to present for Board consideration
the dedication of the conservation garden after Director Sutton, and also have staff prepare
a resolution commending Director Sutton's commitment and service to the board. President
Bender stated he was honored to have served on the Board with such a strong person
devoted to public service who was frequently the voice of the common person and common
sense. He asked to have a moment of silence in remembrance of Director Pat Sutton.

nicipal Utilities Financing Authority conference call with Lassen MUD and UAMPS on Janu-
ary 27. Director Hemig went on to say Director Sutton had an intense interest in details and
questions. She kept everyone on their toes. Pat told Director Hemig she felt like she was a
line-backer, making sure nothing got through the cracks. Director Hemig said Pat's recall
was 100%; she was insightful, smart, saw things others did not see, accessible for the
community and fearless. The District should be sure to give her the respect and recognition
of service.
Director Aguera said Pat took him under her wing when he first got elected to the Board.
She taught him Board etiquette and about District business. He said Pat was very thorough,
and if she didn't know the answer, she would do the research.
Director John Hillstrom reported out that he also attended the NCPA workshop. He said he
will miss Pat Sutton's history of the District.
President Bender asked Counsel Gross to describe the process to fill the vacancy on the

call for a special election, or within 60 days, the Nevada County Board of Supervisors will
fill the seat.

budgeted

Public input:
• Feel the District does well by getting consultant opinions
• A consultant has a lot of experience to do a rate study and knows what is going on
• By hiring a consultant, we would know we are doing the right thing
Board discussion:
• What was the cost of doing the water study
• We need to have a discussion about this
• Would like to see the 1995 electric design study
• Know we are going to have to raise electric rates
• Do more aggressive tiers for conservation- shift costs
• Problem with tiered rates is people with electric heat would be hit the hardest
• Do not know if we need to do anything
• What does the Board want to see happen
• This study could look a lot like what we did with the water study and we were pleased
with that process; why not think about HDR to perform this study; they have already
done a study for Standby Charges; there is some value and merits and appropriate
timing in using HDR again
• Do we need to go out and do this study now
• What is the budgeted cost for this study
• HDR is the way to go- they did a good job and Shawn Koorn was good to work with
• Stay with HDR as they know the PUD
• Is there a reason staff would like to do this study now
• Can we put a low income rate in place without a rate study
• We need statistics
• The last rate study was 15 years ago
• Would like another workshop with options from HDR whether the District should do a
full rate study or a rate review and a list the things the Board could do
• Could this open a can of worms- especially with the non primary homeowners
