BE PERFORMED BY THE DISTRICT AS A
CURRENT AND ORDINARY LINE EXTENSION
WHEREAS, six properties on Foxmead Lane had their individual drinking water wells
contaminated by the January 1997 floods and residents of Foxmead Lane have expressed a desire
to receive water from the Truckee Donner Public Utility District; and
WHEREAS, the estimated construction cost of the project to provide water service to the
properties located on Foxmead Lane is $21,000.00; and
WHEREAS, District staff recommends that the District extend its water main line, which is
currently serving the Truckee Business Park, 470 feet to serve the six properties on Foxmead
Lane using its own work force under Truckee Donner Public Utility District Code Section
6.60.010 ("TDPUD Code") and Public Contract Code Section 20205.2; and
WHEREAS, District staff recommends that at the time the individual property owners connect to
water service on Foxmead Lane, they reimburse the District for their proportional cost associated
with providing water to their property using the Foxmead Lane water line and pay the appropriate
fee to the West River Street Assessment District; and
WHEREAS, Public Contract Code Section 20205.2 permits the board to do or cause "to be done
directly by the district, and without any contract, any or all work necessary or proper in or about
the making of all current and ordinary repairs or in or about current and ordinary upkeep or
maintenance;" and
WHEREAS, according to TDPUD Code Section 6.60.010, the District construes the terms `all
current and ordinary repairs' and `current and ordinary upkeep or maintenance', as contained in
Public Code Section 20205.2, to include the"repair, upkeep and maintenance of the entire
District water and electrical distribution systems, to allow for routine extension and expansion of
District electrical and water facilities to meet the increased demand placed on such systems by the
growing needs of District customers, and to include minor and routine work which District staff is
capable of performing;" and
WHEREAS, according to TDPUD Code Section 6.60.010.4, an example of work that falls within
the terms `current and ordinary repairs' and `current and ordinary upkeep or maintenance', is
"minor water line extensions, such as that needed to complete a water loop system, having a
length of 500 feet or less;" and
WHEREAS, according to TDPUD Code Section 6.60.010, the list of work falling within the
terms `current and ordinary repairs' and `current and ordinary upkeep or maintenance' is not
exhaustive, and"the District may determine that other similar types of work are included within
the terms `current and ordinary repairs' and `current and ordinary upkeep or maintenance' as
contained in Public Contract Code Section 20205.2;" and
WHEREAS, the proposed Foxmead Lane water line extension appears to be a routine extension
and expansion of District water facilities to meet the growing needs of the District, in that it is
under 500 feet and it is minor and routine work which District staff is capable of performing; and
WHEREAS, the Board has the authority, pursuant to TDPUD Code Section 6.60.010, to
determine the types of work that fall within the terms `current and ordinary repairs' and `current
and ordinary upkeep or maintenance' as contained in Public Contract Code Section 20205.2.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner
Public Utility District as follows:
1. The recitals set forth above are hereby adopted as findings of the Board of
Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District.

be constructed by the District's work force to provide water service to Foxmead
Lane pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 20205.2 and TDPUD Code
Section 6.60.010.
3. The Board of Directors hereby approves that the project be financed by the
District with repayment of the proportional project costs by the Foxmead property
owners as they connect to water service, as well as payment of the appropriate
West River Street Assessment District fee at that time.
4. If any property owner on Fixmead Lane chooses not to participate, the District
will pursue avenues to require hook-up in accordance with law or will record an
appropriate document with the County of Nevada putting future buyers of the
property on notice of the payment required to hook-up to the water system.

District on the twentieth of August 1997 by the following roll call vote:
