TRUCKEE
D O i
ACTION
To: Board of Directors
From: Kathleen Neus
Date: July 06, 2011
Subject: Update on Status of Nevada County LAFCo and Consideration of a
Professional Services Agreement with Baracco.and Associates
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
Agreements for professional services which exceed $15,000 require Board approval.
2. HISTORY
The District recently received a new proposed Sphere of Influence (SOI) to review
from Nevada County LAFCo. Based on review of LAFCo's proposed SOI, the District
determined that LAFCo's proposal was not in the best interest of the District nor its
rate payers. The District hired Bruce Baracco, a private LAFCo consultant, to put
together a request for a preferred SOI for both the Water and Electric utilities. This
document was submitted to Nevada County LAFCo on June 10, 2011 and is included
as Attachment 1.
3. NEW INFORMATION
There are four general issues in regards to Nevada County LAFCo, these include:
Issue 1; The LAFCo staff proposed SOI and the District's preferred SOI are
substantially different;
Issue 2; There are parcels served by the District that were never annexed by the
District and are therefore NOT within the District's service territory;
Issue 3; There are four areas believed by District staff to be within the District's
jurisdictional boundaries that LAFCo records show as outside the jurisdictional
boundaries (un-annexed); and
Issue 4; Lastly there may be some parcels that should have voting rights in
District elections that cannot currently vote and there are parcels that should not have
voting rights that may be able to vote in District elections.
Issue 1, Differing SOIs
As presented at the June 1, 2011 Board meeting, the differences between LAFCo's
proposed SOI and the District's preferred SOI are that the District's Electric
Department wants to add two additional areas and eliminate one area from the current
SOI. LAFCo proposes a general reduction in the SOI. These additive areas include
the Northstar area (3 square miles) and an area from the Stampede Dam generation
point moving west to include Russel Valley and Hobart Mills (25.5 square miles). The
deductive area is east of Glenshire/Hirschdale area (8 square miles). A map showing
these areas are included as Attachment 2. There are no proposed changes to the
Water Department's current SOI. Attachment 3 is a map showing the preferred Water
SOI and the LAFCo proposed SOI.
Issue 2, Parcels Served by the District that are Not Located in the District's Service
Te rrito ry
There are parcels interspersed within the District, and for one reason or another, are
District customers but have never been annexed into the District's service territory.
The map included as Attachment 4 depicts four areas that the Water Department
currently serves, or it is logical to serve, but are not included in the current service
territory. The areas include: an area at the intersection of Highway 89 south and West
River Street, Exhibit B; an area in the Sierra Pine subdivision near the intersection of
Pine Cone Rd. / Pine Cone Ct., Exhibit C; and lastly two areas on either side of the
Coyote Run subdivision and a small parcel at the corner of Highway 267 and Truckee
Airport Rd., Exhibit D.
The Electric Department serves several other un-annexed parcels. The map included
as Attachment 5 depicts three areas that either the Electric Department currently
serves or are logical that that they serve in the future. These three areas include: a
parcel of land located south of Red Mountain Rd. on the south side of Donner Lake
(Exhibit A); the same area as the Water Department located at the Highway 89 South
and West River Street intersection, (Exhibit B); and an area at the southeast end of
the Truckee Tahoe Airport, (Exhibit E).
Issue 3, Jurisdictional Boundaries
The jurisdictional boundaries are the territorial range of authority or control of the
agency, also referred to as service territory. District and LAFCo records differ with
respect to the areal extent of the jurisdictional boundaries in the previously annexed
service territory of the Glenshire Mutual Water Company and the Donner Lake Water
System. The District considers that all of these areas are currently within the
jurisdictional boundaries of the District. LAFCo records omit portions of each area.
Staff believes that these discrepancies are the result of LAFCo taking action on low
detail maps rather than the legal description of the areas in question. Attachment 6 is
a map showing the location of the jurisdictional boundaries in question.
Issue 4, Voting vs. Non-voting Rights
Lastly there may be some parcels that are annexed into the District as either a water
or electric customer that should have voting rights in District elections, and cannot
currently vote due to errors in voting records. There are also parcels that should not
have voting rights in District elections as they are not annexed that may be able to
vote in District elections due to similar errors. It will require analyzing voting data from
both Nevada and Placer counties to identify and possibly correct any discrepancies in
the voting records. This analysis is currently ongoing. Although this is not directly a
LAFCo issue, resolution of Items 2 & 3 may resolve this condition for some parcels. If
this issue is not resolved through the LAFCo process, then staff can request the
Registrar of Voters for the respective county to correct their records. Attachment 7 is
a map showing these areas.
In order to work through these four general issues and provide adequate CEQA
review of the proposed changes, a consultant with extensive LAFCo experience is
needed. As the prepared SOI document is reviewed by the different counties, Nevada,
Placer and Sierra counties, updates needing input from the consultant will be required,
until a final document has been perfected. In addition, assistance in performing a
CEQA review will also be needed. Baracco and Associates issued the District a
proposal on June 1 2011 outlining the scope of services and associated fees. A copy
of this proposal is included as Attachment 8.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds exist in the FY11 Budget for this project. The costs will be allocated
between the Water and Electric Departments according to the following table.
Issue Cost Allocation
Water Electric
1 10% 90%
2 50% 50%
3 100% -
4 50% 50%
5. RECOMMENDATION
1) Approve a Consulting Services Agreement with Baracco Associates totaling
$22,675.00 plus a 10 percent change order authorization for an amount not to
exceed $24,642.50.
2) With respect to Issue 2, if the Board wishes to annex properties currently
served by the District, then direct staff to begin annexation process.
OR
If the Board does not wish to annex properties currently served by the District,
then direct staff not to pursue annexation.
3) If the Board wishes to correct the jurisdictional boundaries to be compliant with
previous Board Actions, direct staff to pursue this issue with the desired
outcome for these areas to be accepted by LAFCo as being in the District's
jurisdictional boundaries.
OR
If the Board does not wish to correct the jurisdictional boundaries to be
compliant with previous Board actions, direct staff not to pursue this issue.
4) Direct staff to work with the Nevada and Placer Counties Registrar of Voters to
resolve voting inconsistencies.

Electrical Service
The District is a transmission-dependent utility(TDU) located high on the Eastern slope
of the Sierra Nevada, within NV Energy's control area, and is not interconnected with any other
utility. The District has a Network Integrated Transmission Service (NITS)with Nevada Energy
that enables TDPUD to utilize the NV Energy transmission system for delivery of electricity to
the District's electric distribution system. During the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2010, the
Electric System served 13,145 customers, comprised of 11,643 residential customers, and
1,502 commercial customers. During such period, the Electric System supplied 147,646,706
kWh of energy and had a peak demand of 37,875 kW.
Truckee Donner PUD is a network transmission service customer under the currently
effective joint NV Energy open access transmission tariff (OATT) administered by the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Truckee uses this network service to import into and
transport across NV Energy's grid all of the power necessary to serve Truckee's load. This load
is served from four substations and one distribution interconnection with NV Energy. The
substations and interconnection voltages are: Donner Lake Substation 60kV; Tahoe Donner
Substation 60kV; Truckee Substation 60kV; Martis Valley Substation 120kV; and Glenshire
Recloser 14.4kV. (Refer to Figure Vlll for the Electrical Distribution System and Receiving
Points(Substations)).

Electric Jurisdictional Boundary ,;-
Truckee Donner electric service territory is comprised of approximately 44 square miles
in eastern Nevada County and approximately 1.5 square miles in adjacent Placer County. The
Electric System serves the vast majority of the service area of the District and has more than
218 miles of 12.47 kV and 14.4 kV distribution lines, including about 83 miles of underground
distribution cables and 135 miles of overhead service lines.
Power Supply
The District has an ownership interest in one of its sources of electricity, and has many
contracts with differing terms and durations by which it purchases electricity. TDPUD has
sufficient generation and agreements to purchase power through 2017, and can purchase
additional power as needed. The District's ownership interest is for the life of the project and
extends far beyond 2012. In addition, the District has numerous other contracts for power
supply that have different end dates ranging from 2012 to 2028. Refer to Summary of Power
Supply Contracts(Attachment 1),for a list and brief summary of the District's power contracts.
The District also works cooperatively with the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems
(UAMPS), the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), the Northern California Power
Agency (NCPA), NV Energy, and Liberty Energy. TDPUD is bordered on the north, east and
south by Liberty Energy, and on the west by Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Additionally,
there are a number of `green areas' along the District's boundaries in which no energy
customers are served.
Water Supply
The District's water supply comes from groundwater in the Martis Valley, located in the
southeast portion of the District's service territory. The service area includes 46 square miles
and ranges in elevation from 5,800 feet above mean sea level (MSL) to 7,500 feet MSL. The
system includes 16 active wells (of which 13 are potable and three are non-potable), 33 storage
tanks, 27 pump stations, and 226 miles of water transmission mains. (Refer to Figure VII for the
Water Supply, Storage and Distribution System).
Potable water production in 2010 averaged 4.53 million gallons per day (MGD) with a
peak of 9.53 MGD on July 6, 2010. Due to a pipeline replacement program, placing the
Fiberboard well into service to provide non-potable irrigation water to two golf courses, the
implementation of volume-based billing, and the installation of an automated meter reading
(AMR) system, the District has reduced its water usage from a peak in 2007 (average daily
demand of 6.67 MGD and maximum daily demand of 14.84 MGD)to the current levels. During
the 2004-2010 time period, the number of water system connections increased from 11,503 to
12,573. There are currently 11,876 residential water customers and 697 commercial water
customers served by the District.

PREFERRED 2011 SPHERE of INFLUENCE
Electric Sphere of Influence
The Truckee Donner PUD is proposing a Preferred 2011 Sphere of Influence (SOI) as an
altemative to the proposed 2011 SOI presented to the Commission on May 19, 2011. Three
proposed changes to the Electric Department SOI will result in the addition of 28.5 square miles
and the deletion of 8 square miles to the Electric SOI. There are no proposed changes to the
Water SOI. (Refer to Figure I: Preferred Electric SOI)
These changes include:
Northstar Area
1) The addition of 3 square miles (which encompasses the Northstar area) called the Northstar
Load. The Northstar Load replicates the unique nature of the District's load profile, consisting
of winter and weekend peaking. Given the opportunity to serve this load would improve the
District's existing efficiencies through economies of scale. This area is also adjacent to the
District's distribution facilities and to the District's current SOI boundary. With the close
proximity of this area to District headquarters, the District would be able to respond in a more
efficient manner than it is currently being served by Liberty Energy.
Hobart Mills & Russell Valley Area
2) The addition of a 25.5 square miles area, which includes Hobart Mills (Hobart Mills Load),
Russell Valley (Russell Valley Load) and north to the Stampede Reservoir Generation
Facility. The addition of this area to the District SOI would extend into Sierra County.
The District is currently under contract with the WAPA for hydroelectric generation
located at the Stampede Reservoir Dam. The operational load at this generation facility is
fed through the Russell Valley. In addition, there have been recent proposals to build
renewable generation such as Bio-fuels in the Hobart Mills area. These renewable
generation projects (when proposed) tend to move very quickly. The District needs the
opportunity to participate in local renewable generation when it presents itself. This future
renewable generation could enhance the District's renewable energy portfolio.
3) The removal of 8 square miles of the existing SOI to the east of the Glenshire Subdivision
and Hirschdale. This area east of Glenshire/Hirschdale consists of very rugged terrain and
the District has no plans to serve this area in the next 20 years. Therefore, this area is
proposed to be removed from the SOI.
Renewables Portfolio Standard
The District established its Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) in 2007, which is
currently 21%. This is higher than the Califomia RPS (currently 20%), and the Liberty Energy
RPS(currently 20%). Both California and Liberty standards are expected to increase to 33% by
2020. Currently, renewable energy accounts for 27% of the District's power,which will increase
to 40% or more by 2014. As a new service provider in the area (having begun on January 1,
2011), it is estimated that only 12% of Liberty Energy's portfolio is from renewable resources.
As a consequence, TDPUD will reduce its carbon footprint (and the generation of Greenhouse
Gases)to a greater degree than Liberty Energy or the State as a whole. Increasing the SOI into
the Northstar, Hobart Mills and Russell Valley will promote the most effective and efficient way
to provide electrical services to the area.

Water Sphere of Influence
Maintaining the current Water SOI will allow for the provision of water service from the
District in an efficient, cost effective manner. In addition, there will be no `pancaking' of
administrative charges -- subjecting customers to multiple transmission charges for long
distance power deliveries. The District is capable of delivering high quality water to service
areas in Placer County, and will lower the carbon footprint associated with water delivery due to
fewer miles driven and a higher RPS from electric service.
Water Jurisdictional Boundary Conflict Areas
While there are no proposed changes to the 2011 Water SOI, a number of areas are currently
served water by the District and are within the existing Water SOI, but are not recognized as
being part of the District. (Refer to Figure IV: Water Conflict Areas)
The Truckee Donner Public Utility District's Water jurisdictional boundary includes the
following areas which are currently in disagreement with the Nevada LAFCo, and Placer County
records:
1. Township 17N, Range 17E, Sections 9 & 10(Juniper Hills Subdivision)
2. APN 48-080-45-000(East Glenshire)
3. APN 48-220-06-000(Northwest Glenshire)
4. APN 069-130-001-000(Southwest Donner Lake)
The Truckee Donner Public Utility District considers that each of these areas currently,
and has always existed with the jurisdictional boundary of the District, or the annexed water
districts of Glenshire Mutual Water District and Donner Lake Water System.
In all previous Sphere of Influence reports (1983, 1996 & 1998) prior to 2002, the
Glenshire Mutual Water District's jurisdictional boundary included Area 1 (Juniper Hills) and
Area 2. The 1983 Sphere of Influence report shows that Area 3 was excluded from the
Glenshire Mutual Water District's jurisdictional boundary, but that this area was included in both
the 1996 & 1998 reports. In addition, the 2005 East County Water Services Municipal Services
Review also denotes the Glenshire Mutual Water District's jurisdictional boundary having
included all of Areas 1, 2 & 3.
On December W', 2001, the Truckee Donner Public Utility District passed resolution
No. 2001-34, requesting approval from Nevada LAFCo to provide service outside of the
District's jurisdictional boundary, thus permitting the District to provide water in the territory
currently served by Glenshire Mutual Water District. In this resolution, the District's board
anticipated the annexation of "the portions of the Company's service territory that are outside
the District's jurisdictional territory". This clause was made under the belief that the Glenshire
Mutual Water District's jurisdictional boundary included Areas 1, 2 &3, based on the knowledge
of what was described in the 1983, 1996 & 1998 Nevada LAFCo Sphere of Influence reports.
Area 4, is a long parcel situated within Placer County, in the SW comer of Township 17N
Range 15E Section 15, where its northerly border is congruent with the Nevada, Placer county
boundary, and its SW parcel comer congruent to the SW comer marker of Township 17N
Range 15E Section 15. Similarly to the areas within the Glenshire Mutual Water District's
jurisdictional boundary, this parcel has been depicted as being fully within the Donner Lake
Water System jurisdictional boundary in the 1983, 1996, and 1998 Nevada LAFCo Sphere of
Influence reports, as wells as the 2005 East County Water Services Municipal Services Review.
Page 8 of 12
On June 21, 2006 the District passed Resolution No. 2006-19, requesting that LAFCo
take proceedings for the annexation of the Donner Lake Service Area in Placer County. In this
resolution, the District considered a map, named Exhibit A", as being the jurisdictional
boundary of the Donner Lake Water Company,which was consistent with the LAFCo Sphere of
Influence reports of 1983, 1996 and 1998, as well as the East County Water Services Municipal
Services Review. This boundary, as depicted in every LAFCo commissioned report denoted the
Donner Lake Water District jurisdictional boundary running congruently to the southerly and
westerly borders of APN 069-130-001-000, wholly including it within its boundary.
In the 2002 Nevada LAFCo Sphere of Influence report,the commission voted to approve
the annexation of the both the Glenshire Water Mutual District and Donner Lake Water District.
The Nevada LAFCo Resolution 02-15, orders that the "Truckee Donner Public Utility District
Sphere of Influence map (which denotes all of these areas either belonging to the jurisdictional
boundary of the Glenshire Mutual Water District or the Donner Lake Water District), as adopted
by LAFCo on February 26, 1998, remain in effect." This would conclude that the LAFCo
commission, using Nevada LAFCo `s own 1998 Sphere of Influence report and corresponding
maps,which wholly include Areas 1,2,3, and 4, as being the true jurisdictional boundary for both
the Glenshire Mutual Water District and Donner Lake Water System, of which the Truckee
Donner Public Utility District would annex.
It is for these reasons, the Truckee Donner Public Utility District feels each of these
areas belongs, and should remain within the District's Water jurisdictional boundary.
