Your request is to waive the requirement of a separate electric fund designated as the Donner Lake Electric Revenue Fund in order to save on bookkeeping expenses. I understand that this fund will be consolidated into a "total electric account", and Sierra's payments will be made accordingly. By this letter, Sierra waives "Section 18.

If this is acceptable, please have the Chairman of your Board of Directors execute this letter below and forward a copy to: John Madariaga, General Counsel , Sierra Pacific Power Company, P.O.

Box 309 Truckee, California 95734 Re: Separate Accounting, Tahoe Donner Dear Directors: During the consideration of your previous (1980) budget and addressing the recommendations of Arthur Anderson, I strongly recommended that you retain the dual accounting system of the water system dealing with the Tahoe Donner Subservice Area and the balance of the Truckee system. The dual accounting, in my opinion, has fulfilled its useful life and intended purposes. The dual system has been maintained now for five consecutive fiscal years and the results are conclusive that the Tahoe Donner Subservice Area does not represent an economic drain on the balance of the water system income/expenses. It is my opinion that the extra effort that has gone into maintain the dual system was well justified in the past. It is also my belief that for fiscal 1981 and beyond that the dual system is no longer necessary and should be discontinued. Very truly yours, COOK ASSOCIATE DJC/cab an J.
