BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OIL DIRECTORS OF
0
TRUCKEE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT,
1, The Bureau of Reclamation of the U. S.
Department of the Interior is proposing to enter into
a contract entitled"Contract with Pacific Gas and
Electric Company for the Sale of Interchange and Trans-
missionElectric of Capacity and Energy, Contract No.
14-06-200-2948A, P.G.&E./USSR Draft 8/29/66".
2. This proposed contract establishes a
"Transmission Service Area" within which F.G.brE. is
obligated, under cmrtain conditions, to transmit elec"
tric power and energy generated by the Bureau from the
Central Valley Project. The transmission service area
does not include the area of Truckee Public Utility Dis-
trict.
3. For many years this District has sought
to obtain electric power and energy from the Central
0
Valley Project for use by the publicly owned electric
distribution system of the District, P.G.& E. has con-
tinuously failed and refused to agree to transmit such
power to this District, even thaugh it has facilities to
do so, on the ground that the existing agreement for such
transmission does not include the area of this District,
y
4. This District., is a preferred cust er for
Reclamation power under Reclamation law; P. G. -and E. has
a transmission system which delivers -electric power and
energy near the borders of this District; Central Valley
Project power is much cheaper than any other available
supply; and the provision of the proposed Contract exclud-
ing this District from the transmission service area is
discriminatory against this district and therefore unlaw-
ful.
5. The Secretary of the Interior is respect-
fully requested to propose and obtain an amendment to
the proposed Contract which will provide for trans see
sion of Central Valley Project power to a point on
P. G. & Eols transmission system near the border of this
District. The Secretary of this District is directed to
send copies of this Resolution to the Secretary of the
Interior and to the representatives of this District in
the United States Senate and House of Representatives.
