APPROVED BY:
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Appoint the General Manager, Brian Wright, as the District's negotiator for interest in
real property for the development of future District facilities: APN# 019-440-081 and
APN# 049-040-024.
BACKGROUND:
For many years, the District has been evaluating opportunities to develop additional
utility operations and maintenance facilities, including covered storage for critical
equipment, materials and fleet, as well as additional administrative space. In 2019, the
District began the process of developing an updated facility master plan to meet the
current and future needs of water and electric utility operations and administration. In
the early drafts of the updated facilities master plan, multiple options were presented,
including the re-development of the District's current operations yard and the
development of satellite facilities to be located on District-owned parcels along Trails
End and Pioneer Trail.
In 2023 and 2024, due to several limitations presented by the District's currently owned
parcels, including accessibility and size, the District contracted with JKA Engineering
and Architecture to develop a conceptual plan as a third option for a new single campus
facility. JKAE Architects is scheduled to provide a presentation of the updated facilities
master plan to the Board at the District's regularly scheduled meeting on November 6th.
ANALYSIS AND BODY:
Staff have been made aware of potential opportunities to procure land owned by
Tahoe-Truckee Sanitation Agency along Joerger Drive, in alignment with the District's
long-term strategic plan and future facilities needs. Staff is recommending the Board
appoint General Manager Wright as the District's negotiator for real property, to explore
these opportunities in more detail.
