Wilson read letters of protest from property owners Baglione; Cameron; Collier; Hewitt; Nilham; Erickson; protest presented by Attorney Barnett on behalf of property owners was read by Mr. ~'~'ilson and ~:r. Johnston. ~ttorney Shern~n Wilke of Sacrament~ presented protest for c~ners Daum, Milliman, Van Sickle and Fingado. John Kenwood entered a protest. Nate Wilson protested on the grounds he did not receive notice of hearing. Erna Worland protested on sa~' grounds as other protestants. Phil Seagrave protested and asked that his letter of protest be made a part of these minutes. Attorney Wilke asked if verbal protests will be given the same cs~sideration as written protests. Mr. Wilson stated full consideration would be given all protests, whether oral or written. Answering question asked from grs~p it was stated that Mr. Wilson is not a member of ~he ~oard, but counsel for the Board, retained as required by law. Earl Livingston, Jr. protested not receiving notice of hearing. Attorney Wilke stated that Grover B. Dull, Sacramento County Judge, and Tahoe Meadows property owner, did not receive notice of hearing and-was unaware of whether ~ not him property had been included, and protested if his property is included. District Attorney Bob Roberts stated he was present only as an observer, and would not take any part in the proceedings or corer_ant on same. Also that he had not been called on for legal opinion. Rodney Robertson of Attorney Barnett's office, also a property owner in the District, asked for the assessed value of property in South Tahoe Public Utility District. l~r. Wilson emtimated Si,100,000.00 c~ ali ttle more. Robertson asked if theft figure included property to be annexed in December, 195~. Wilson replied in negative. Robertson asked what indebtedness was contemplated. Wilson stated 20% or less if ~0% not needed, also that District is in bad shape because of exclusions granted after boundaries formed. The District needs all property included in original bcundaries. As is makes work harder for representatives of District in trying to protect all owners equally. Robertson asked how much of the bonded indebtedness would be applied to schedule A, B C and D. Wilson stated that ordinarily it is policy in the matters to recommend that the bond issue be used as a in the assessment project end there be from elsewhere of adjustment between the two. Usually it is desirable to finance this type of improvement ~l G. 0. bonds. The reason is that as District expands the rate of taxation is self-adjusting, and as people come in and improve the District they assume greater share to pay off. It was realized that the balance of bond issue had to be retained until taxes would be able to construct line throagh Tahoe ~eadows to service upper end of~)istrict and below the Highway. It was concluded that the cell on the ~. ~. bonds be limited in this project to the 3 mentioned. f~r. kobertscm asked if it were possible the G. 0. bonds could exceed 20%. Wilson stated people outside of District have nothing to do with 0ond s. Mr. Morrison asked what he w~uld get for $4000.00 assessment. Wilson stated he would get his share of sewage collection system. Also he could use it on permit from Board of Directors of the District and upon paying something towards general obligations of District. In District ~axation on G. ©. bonds it is not intended that Board of Directors will deny to those outside District the right to use the facilities for ~hich ~heyare assessed. The ~oard has done its duty and will continue to do so, and certainly it is their duty to deal fairly with all. mr. Morrison asked about a map and what basis was used to arrive at percentage of assessment. ~,~r. Wilson stated it was based on front footage - so many feet of line, so many feet of frontage. Attorney Wilke asked if prope~.ty inside and outside of District was assessed on same basis. Wilson replied in affirmative. In response to question k~r. Wilson stated that before project was started a letter was obtained from the County Health Officer as to necessity of disposal or drainage system. Attorney Barnett stated theft land area has no bad effect as far as protests are concerned. Wilson stated only effect land area has is wheth,:r majority of 4/5. Statement of law. Sir. Wilson stated theft protests will be considered, although it is possible to overrule as high as 100%. Mr. Robertson asked if the the sewer system is d~signed to handle over and above present needs, if so wh$ excess gallonage is it de-~igned to hand lc. l,~r. Caldwell stated it would be necessary to go into ~e background to answer the question. In the beginning a certain District was laid out which has to be sewered. T~t is common practice, and good engineering practice to make a topographical map. From this map the sewage system was laid out to serve every lot. This of course would mean a much larger system than is desired. Than the system is pared down to trunks east and west on the highway. Pumping station site was selected because it was the lowest part of the area and anywhere else vould required deeper cuts. It could be moved farther south or west. He stated his previous remark that other locations could be used he meant any site within that general low water area. Anywhere else would run into difficulties. Plans are based on thorough analysis. Selection of a disposal site was carefully studied, and the site selected will serve the system. Twenty acres of sandy soil, sufficiently elevated and well drained. ~ievada was considered in the design. Primary facilities to serve Nevada are in tie plan. Trunk line for Nevada so-called Beach trunk. Robertson asked if the plan allows for expansion. Caldwell sai5 yes, plans call for reasonable e_xpansion for period of five to ten years. Robertson asked if the assumption is that the Bijou Park area might require lO0,O00 gallons tz~day, is the system designed roughly to accomo~ate more than lO0,O00. Caldwell stated in system of this kind account is taken of contribution on per capita basis and ground water infiltration. Robertson asked present maximum capacity. Caldwell stated it varies but provision for enlargement had been made in building structure- space for a second pump. Wilke asked capacity. Caldwell stated 1,O00,O00, to ihclude infiltration. Robertson asked pres~nt requirement. Caldwell replied about 300,000, based on average. Robertson asked if system designed to handle Nevada. Caldwell stated designed to handle ~- evada in base trunk and pumping station. Yevada and surrounding District. N~r. ~,~orrison asked about financing. },~r. Wilson stated District cannot afford to build Beach trunk without Nevada. I~orrison stated he paid 14% of taxes in the District. Wilson stated Bpard gave same con-~ideration to large and small taxpayers. All negotiations were on the basis of aiding the District. wa $ Mr. Wilson/asked why ~evada did not have their own system. He replied because the lay of the land is such that it ~oesn't lend itself to adequate disposal. Also it is i~variably to the advantage of adjacent communities to combine their sewage problems. ,.~.ttorney Barrett suggested binding contracts be ~de with i~evaSa, Wilson stated that was the intention. He also stated Lakeside so cut up by exclnsions it is not servable condition at this time. Robertson asked about additional facilities for ~:evada. Caldwell stated nothing additional in designs except pumping station. Caldwell stated pumping station is 18' by ~0', to accomo~ate anything from ~00 to 1000 gallons a minute. Station would be same size. Robertson asked if any effort hsd been made to negotiate for right-of way ~r easements through these areas. Wilson stated not yeti. In reponse to ~:,~r. Robertson's question Wilson stated that it is usual practice to open bids and then revise cost figures. No work being anticipated until next spring-this winter will be used to work out such details. Robertson referred to the Johnston l~roperty and stated map indicates a $~400.00 saving on the t~o lines. ~.r. Stewart stated one line is outside District. Mr. Ronzone suggested an alternate course for the line which he estimated would save $10,000 in assessment. Stewart stated County Engineer had no contour map of area and that B. ~ C. had to make their o~n. Ronzone asked what fall per foot from Stateline to Bijou Park Blvd. Stewart stated depends on size. Nrs. Worland asked size of pipe on Laurel Ave. 8 Inch, said Stewart, minimum of seven feet per 1000 on 8" pipe. l0 inch- 5~ feet. Mrs. Terry asked if it would be possible to protest later if assessment goes higher. Wilson replied only natural if new property is eliminated from present assessment higher rate would have to be used to provide same money. Law does not provide other hearing but protests would be considered seriously. ~rs. Perry stated if rate goes abo~e $0.00 she wishes to protest. Wilson stated if rate goes higher will only be done on notice of public hearing. Nra. Nilliman asked why Tahoe Meadows which has a lot of highway frontage was not assessed. Stewart said because they cannot use the sewer, l~rs. Milliman stated thc. t answer applies to her but she was assessed. Stewart stated she can use it. ~rs. tv~illiman said she could not see why she should be assessed where she would ~eceive no benefit. Also that she would like to be property advised when another meeting is held. Robertson asked if Tahoe ~,.,teadows should come in the District in the ~uture if they would have to reimburse the District for previous ex- penditures. Stewart stated Tahoe ~,~eadows ca~not come in because of the contour and the State Highway would not permit the necessary individual crossings. Wilson stated there is no line in front of Tahoe t~eadows, and no assessment of Tahoe Meadows as they will be sewered entirely internally. Nra. ~illiman .stated there is a double line at Perrys. Ronzon~e. stated line goes through lower pert of Morrison,s property. Wilson stated assessment will only be on frontage regardless of whether or not there are two lines. Wilke asked if the contract with Tahoe ~Teadows gave T. ~.~. advantages. Wilson stated that the line through Tahoe ~eadows is not a collecting line - just a transmission line. Property owners along the Lake front will have to put in their s~n lines. It is correct that T.N. will not be assessed because the line is not usable as a collecting line. Ronzone asked if the statement had been ma~e the line was not usable but could be used. Wilson stated line on Beach not collecting line only tra~asmission line. Owners will be required to put in their own collecting lines. Robertson asked if there is a contract with T. M. Wilson said yes, by which we are provided with pumping station site. Morrison asked at what cost. Wilson replied, the cost of constructing a fence. They are, in effect, giving us perpetual right to locate pumping station on property in consideration for construction of fence. Robertson asked if Tahoe ~eadows was included in the original petition to form the District. Wilson sai~ it was not in the boundaries of the petition. Wilson read the agreement between the District and Tahoe Meadows. oarnett asked ifthere are any other agreements. Wilson replied only other cont ~act is with Harvey West allowing a fifteen-foot access to Bijou Park Boulevard. I~r. Lippman asked if everything ~r. Wilson said had 100% backing of t}.e Board. Crocker stated Wilson is the Board's counsel and is dealing with counsel at this meeting, that Board members ar~~ just people endeavoring to buuild a sewer. Barnett re~arked that the Directors have personal liability for malfeasance of office. Suggested they confer with District Attorney, and that is is t!-~eir duty to devise some other system. Crocker stated the Board is co n sd ier lng everything, having only one thought in mind as a ~oard. First, a desire to build a sewer, and as harmoniously as possible. Seco.nd, every Board member is a taxpayer and suffers the same as other taxpayers. Third, any assistance or information will be gratefully received by the Board. Wilson stated in reply to question of his stand on ~oard's possible action in view of a 97% protest that he would make no recommendation, he was only stating the law. For clarification, he stated the Board makes it a l~'adtice to inform themselves fully on all matters, legal and otherwise, and that it has long been known that theere is flagrant violation of pollution in the area. i¥~orrison asked where McAbee fitted into the picture. Wilson replied that all contracts with McAbee had been cancelled ~ung stated the letters supporting this were in the office file, ~s w&'ll as corres- pondence pertaining to ~cAbee's fee. Andy Robertson asked how the assessment was determined on extra- territorial property, and how ~he following figures became available: Milliman 150 foot front - $750.00 assessmen$; Erickssn 150 foot 750.00; Daum 200 foot $500.00; Morrison $3900; Young $2500; Conolly,s 1900. Stated he could find~ no relation of number of feet to amount of assessment. Stewart stated the error, if any, is strictly on a front footage basis, as the highway rate is $5.00 per foot. Wilson stated there seems to be confusion between the meaning of commercial end residential property. What is actually meant is commercial area. Stewart stated Bijou Park is c omercial area. ~rs. Milliman asked whey he~ 150 feet of commercial property should be assessed at $750.00 while Daum's 200 feet of commsrcial propert~ should be $500.00. Stewart stated he made his report on footage basis entirely, and he had not seen notices. Mr. Moody asked what the figures are on Daum's property. ~orrison asked Andy Robertson after he appeared before Supervisors and asked for exclusion why he he been thrown into assessment District without notice. Andy Robertson stated he had told ~r. Wilson and ~r. Eorrison that he was under the impression ~ was recommending the extra-territorial resolution that it was a resolution authorizing the formation of an assessment District, and that he had t~ admit he was stupid in not studying the resolution. The Supervisors assumed, on his statement, that the resolution ~llowed the formation of three districts. It was &lso his tm~erstanding that when the District was formed certain n~jor external portions were excluded and not be changed. It was stated that based on the statement that the disposal system was a necessity, the Board. of Supervisors could have done nothing but pass the resolution. Wilke stated that was not a correct statement of law - that it was still up to the d iscretic~ of the Supervisors - they were not legally bound to pass it. Barnett asked if the Health certificate was solicited. Wilson said yes. Barnett asked if condition was so violent that it was needed. Crocker stated that the Lake ~zs polluted 25 feet from shore. Ronzone said there was no pollution. M~rrison asked who solicited the h~alth staten~ent. Wilson stated the procedure used in this project w~s the same as used throughout the State. What is done is to obtain from the County Health Officer, with whom conferences hsd previously been held, and who fully understands the situation, a statement of the conditions. ~e is also sent a copy of the resolution passed by t?~e Board. Morrison asked if anyone would buy District bonds under present situalion. Wilson stated that quarrelling within a District hurts price of bonds but doesn't prevent their sale. Robertsc~ stated he understood two firms of engineers refected the project, considering the Distri.~t too small to ~ccomo~ate sewer system. Mrs. ~illimau aksed if everything is up to the ooard with advise from their attorney. Wilson: that is a point of law, aud the point is that in the matters involving the conduct of the afl'airs of this District this Board si ts in equal dignity to the Superior Court in its trial of cases, and in eo~ual dignity to the Board of Su~ervisor~ in conduct of affairs of the County, subject to such statutes, cc~tracts, etc. as are in existence. Mrs. ~illiman: The Board has the power. Wilson: They are the legislative body. The law says the Board of Directors of this District, a sanitary district, or a City Council, would sit in equal manner. Morrison: When do you intend to pass on. these protests? Wilson: I want all property owners to get the fullest end fairest hearing possible, and expect the Bpard ~o do this. I am o~posed to giving decisions tonight, out want to give people every opportunity to express their wishes. What ~ should do is eliminate the chaff, ill,feeling, ill tempers, and decide everything in manner which will most benefit Lake Tahoe. I think every member of this Board should state fully what they have done to date regarding the project and its history. gorrison said we should have s legal meeting. Wilke asked if affidavits of posting and notices could be pr~uced. Wilson stated engineers provided li~t of names to his office and notices were mailed on the 17th. Moody stated there were two errors that he knew of in the assessment. He requested they be corrected b~fore the next meeting and a list of assessments be posted. Robertson asked if there is a map on file. Wilson stated it is customary to figure on engineers map. Brown & Caldwell work from a work sheet in their office~. Robertson stated he had been advised b~ engineering firms that a map is required by law. Wilson stated it is usually the practice to follow results of engineers computation. The diagram is reproduction of every parcel of property in District. Notices typed from work sheet in engineer's office that contain the number of feet used to determine assessment. Crocker stated there are two or three g~oups in the District and the Board would like to know what each of these groups want from the Board. The Bpaard is in existence for the purpose of serving the pople of Lake Tahoe. Mor~ison stated he was not opposed to sewers, just wanted to k~ow what he was paying for. Crocker asked if Morrison would be willing to come into the District. Morrison stated he would if he go~ a good deal. Wilson asked engineers why they think Tahoe Meadows should not be assessed. Robertss~ stated T. ~. ~asmore landthan the whole district. Stewart stated it was about 40%. Ronzone asked how much Tahoe Meadows would have to pay other than inspection fee and hook-up charges. Caldwell stated in the first plac~ the Beach road trunk is not a part of the contract. The easement that is given by T~hoe 5~eadows is an easement to put in the trunk and the right to connect with property affected. They will pay their share of the rest of the system. Robertson: Will they pay you X number of dollars to reimburse you? Caldw¢ll: If recommendations are acdepted they will. The fees that would be worked out for parcels outside the district will proper~y reflect not only original cost of facilities but will reflect cost of interest c~harges on the bonds. Barnett asked what Nevada would be charged if a contract is made with them. Wilson stated there is no contract, written, at present, but a petition has been drawn up for formation of a district in Nevada, and the estimated cost to them will be $140,000.00. Barnett asked what kind of an understanding. Wilson replied word of mouth. Barnett asked if the Board is ccmmitted to the present plan, stating his clients are not opposed to sewers, just cost and location. C~cker stated Board is not committed, and would like to place the Board in position to satisfy everyone. Caldwell: This plan you refer to as the McAbee plan is not McAbee plan at all. This plan, as well as we could deterlne involved a number of pumping stations, at least two, with many areas left without any feasible means of sewering. Not $12,000, but $20,000. This is the third si~e considered, and the engineers would be ~ery happy to show you why it is located here, and examine any other possibility. Crocker: That leaves the door open to these gentlemen to come in with e~ny suggestions. Wilson: Where are these three locations. Caldwell: AbOut 150 feet apart. Wilson: We had thought to get property nearer the BouleVard and further fram the Lippman home. Barnett asked what was basis for prediction of ~/~ population increase, and what was the~ idea of three different projects. Wilson: To make bonds more salable. Wilke entered protest of Ray C. and Helen L. Perry, Lots 81 and 8~, assessment list, and Earl D. S~thard and ~j. ildred R. Sothard, Lot #1 Block L, First subdivision Lakeside Park. George Eric kson entered his protest. The meeting adjourned at ?:00 p. m. with th~ time and place of next meeting set for lkO0 p. m. December l~th, at Conolley's. APPROVED: Presi de~ Respectfully suomi~ ted r?---crfer~ and ex-o4'f~c~cretary MINUTES (~,F SFECIAL ~EETING 0F S 0UTH TAtlOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT December 12, 1952 In the absence of the President of the Board of Directors the meeting was called to order at 2:35 p. m. in Conolley's by member William A. Young, who announced that due to the lack of a quorum no business could be transacted during the meeting. Directors Crocker and Johnsion were absent. ~.r. Stewart of the Engineering Firm of Brown & caldwell, also E. R. Wilsoh, counsel for the District, were present. The minutes of the previous meeting we re read. Mr. Wilscm stated 1hat a portion ~f the engineers' report did not get in the files, and that notices of public hearing were sent out ~n the basis of a complete report having been filed, and that mailing of notices is a purely clerical matter. He also stated the necessary information for mai ling notices did not reach his office until November 19th, nine days short ~f the proper time. ~ir. Wilke asked if notices and proceedings ha5 been insufficient and proceedings would have ~o be started over. Mr. Wilson stated legal notices should be n~iled and a full report on file. '.~'ilson stated it had been his understanding that money from G.0. bonds could only be used for disposal facilities and the balance of this money would be held until the Nevada proceedings were completed, after which this balance would be used to construct a trunk line on Beach Road. ]Ee stated the District was divided into three parcels for better marketing of the bonds. ~nswering q~.estion regarding bids, Wilson stated: Project 52-1 involves cost of $7~.000.00. Low bi~ was $6~,373. The engineers' estimate was within $~00 or ~00 of the cost, in this as in all three projects, being $63.500. ~roject 52-~, engineer's estisSte $35,500. Low bid $32,~40. Total cost $38,688.00. Project 52-3, engineer's estimate $61,900. Low bid $60,475. Total shortage of all three projects $114,084. schedule A, engineer's esti~ te $72,100. Low bid $82,500. $10,400. over engineer's estimate, schedule B, engineer's estimate $99,~O0. Low bid, $99,9G~. .$49~o over estimate. Total project cost of Schedules A & ~, with incidentals, and leaving nothing for contingent~es, $~0~,075. Total project cost in excess of assessments Excess over $265,000 voted. If it could all be sold there would be a shortage of $75,159. However, can only sell $220,000 therefore we are faced with shortage of $102,159. ~.r. Ronzone asked Mr. Wilson's opinion of the firm of waterbury & Chapek. He answered he was unfamiliar with the firm. Mr. stewart stated they operated around sacramento mostly. Mr. Robertson asked for a statement of position dollar-wise. Wilson answered, $102,159 sh~rt, exclusive of providing for contingencies for which something should be supplied, and that we certainly should have $115,000. Ronzone .:sked if thi~ included easements. Wilson said no~ Ronzone aske~ if there had been an estimate of those costs, stewart stated would not exceed $20,000. Morrison stated property owners are terrifically assesses in Lake Valley especially in view of School ~ond issue to come up in the near future, and with only approximately 100 days a year to earn money. Wilson stated North Tahoe had manage5 and if they are to survive at all it will probably be because they have a sewer system. i~obertson stated the Board feels there must be assessment - his clients feel it should be eliminated, and if the people can know exactly what the system will cost them, the ooard would be surprised how many would want to come in. young stated no official action could be taken because of lack of quorum. Er. Robertson stated he suggested the meeting be terminated and a date for another meeting be set, st which plans with, or without assessment be submitted, with detailed information available on the ~evsda situation. He also stated he felt absent Board members had been grossly inconsiderate in not being present, and he recommended, without stigma attached, th~.t the Board consider resignation of a ~oard member to be replaced by someone from the so-called opposition, which would provide e cooperative ~oard. Wi!k~ stated he felt no legitimate reason for Board members being absent. Young stated he w~s only acting as Chairmen and it was up to the absent members to make their own excuses. He stated he had ms~e every endeavor to maintain harmony in the District and for his pert any plans submitted to the Board would receive impartial consideration. He stated he was acting to the best of his ability st all tises and wished only to serve the people honestly and according to their wishes. He would welcome suggestions, and as to a member resigning he su~ested named of possible Board members ~e submitted, preferably someone in residence all year. ~orrison asked if it would be legally possible to add to the Board. Young stated the Board can be increased to five by dividing the District. As it is members can be elected at large. With a five-men ~oard they would have to be elected from each District. ~rs. Perry stated most of the people realized ~r. Young he8 been the recipient of much criticism because of hl~ accessibility, but she felt he deserved c vote of thanks for his efforts. Young stated he had tried only to do what the people want and to bring a ~wage system to South Tahoe. A~so that s community is no better than the people in it. Ron~one asked if financing could not be figured out with present plans why the District should not be dissolved and started l0 years hence. ~,~r. sothard stated only about ~0% needed sewer system - others going in to help them. Young stated that was endeavor of Board, and to wait ten years when we are already behind ten years would put us twenty years back. He also stated it would be unwise to ask for further bids, as they nearly always came in 1§% to E~% higher. He stated the District hs~ a contract with Brown & Caldwell and they have fulfilled their part of the agreement, and already earned pert of their fee and it would be foolish to throw that money away. That is why every endeavor should be made to use present plans. ~orrison stated the State cannot force people to accept sewer system. Stewart stated the law says individuals or groups of indiviSuals. Wilson said Pollution Act would permit injunctions against the District. Eorrison stated could not be done in unincorporated area. Wilson said they act on a District basis. Wilson state8 there had been treatment site difficulties, due to the fact that every time contact was made the story wes different, and that due to the fact $800 per sere had been asked for Z~ acres, eminent domaain proceedings had been decided on for twenty acres. Ronzone asked about a settlement with ~eAbee. Wils~u stated no settlement as yet but ~cAbee had asked for $?~00.00 and it was assumed he would take less. Robertson asked if the SZZ?,000 figure contemplated legal and engineering fees. ¥ilson stated ~he use~ for inxidentals in Schedules A & ~ 15~%. Robertson asked if $$0,000 could be considered ss a rought figure and sUggested $~$~,000 as cost, $~0,000 fees end $~0,000 for right-of-way, totalling $~07,000 Wilson stated theft would be $1Z~,000 short. Ronzone asked the fee for eminent domain proceedings. ~ilson said it mig~ take s day and might b~ longer. Explained acreage demands and acre demand. Said it was policy not to goto trial unless it was to protect public funds ~rom being given away, and that in years of experience he he~ found it necessary on one or two parcels of land only. Ronzone asked if the Board hsd considered settling for less. Wilson stated Board would consider $~00 a fair price and it might be necessary to pay $800 an acre for twenty acres, but certainly not for thirty-five acres. Robertson aske~ if any estimate of cost of operation hsd been made. Stewart stated about $1~00 per year. ~eller asked about e~ployees, etc. Stewart repeated ~1500 s year end possibly under, for power and maintenance. Eeller sske~ about manpower. Stewart stated a part-time employee would do or the services of a pri~ate contractor. Robertson asked if the ~l~O0 included personnel. Stewart stated it would include power, part-time employment for periodic check, and that it is difficult to estimate maintenance for breakage, etc. Wilson stated 10~ on taxes would raise ~100, and that type of con- struction contemplated would make operation very simple. ~rs. ~illiman asked how pumping plant would be run. Stewart stated by electri,city. ~.rs. ~;.illiman asked if it would require maintenance man 24 hours a day. Stewart stated probably once a day or every two or three days. Robertson asked if the $1500 was low for operation for year. Stewart stated it would cover cost of pumping and disposal. ~ard to figure on obstructions, etc., out probably a couple of hours a day. Keller stated he thought it w~'~uld be necessary to increase taxes to cover all expenses. Young stated administrative cost not much - one meeting a month for which directors were paid $10, secretary hired on hourly basis. $500 a year should cover. Keller asked if contact had been made with po~er company relative to supplying power for the 40 h.p. motor. Young said no rate established. Ronzone suggested someone should check with power company on cost of bringing in power. Mr. Perry stated power company usually makes charge for transformer to bring in 440, also poles. Robertson asked if the engineer could give a figure on operating for one year. Stewart s~id he could n~ guess on obstructions, but plant would be in good shape and shoul~ need only minimum of repair. a figure he picked out of the air. Keller stated that would be 50~ tax. Stewart stated he w~s of the opinion that would be in excess. Wilson stated that exclusive of levies for retiring bonds 50~ would raise $5500. Keller said 80~ for retiring bonds and 50~ for m~inten- ance would be $1.~0. Wilson said no reason why system could not be operated within 50~ Stewart guessed it would be under that. Asked about a power shortage Stewart stated a gasoline motor would provide power. Everything would be automatic, with all mechanical features considered. Wilson stated based on storage batteries. Nits. Nilliman stated she still felt it Would take a man on duty ~4 hours. Stewart stated cities of 40 to 50,000 had systems with no one in c~arge.  orrison asked about disposal. Wilson stated terraced channels for ffluent and ordinary redwood septic tank for disposal, to be cleaned ~nce a year. ~?rison asked if disposa~ wouldn't take some manpower. Wilson said a very small amount. Stewart said it would be controlled by gates. Stewart asked that for the record it be stated he had answered the question on operating cost, and he still considered $1500 would do ~it, in response to remark of Nr. Lippmsn. N~r. Wilson explained varies types of sewer systems, and stated if South Tahoe ~ad same system as N~rth Tahoe it would be necessary to have ab~,ut four pumping stations~to lift water 200 feet for primary treatment, and it would be a m~ch more complicated system. He men t i one d sun trea tment. N~rs. Piedemont asked about the winter, l~ilson said float there was dilution. Second there would be a small fraction of sewage to dispose of in the winter. Stewart stated not only sun but bacteria action was involved, and possibly there would be some cleaning to do in the spring. Morrison asked that in the event the proposed 20 acres would not be enosgh if it might not force the community into a disposal plant, which would mean real money. ~r. Sothard asked about the odor. Stewart stated solids would be in septic tank and water would be taken away to furrows. Odor from water only. Robertson asked if it were likely that abatement of nuisance pro- ceedings might ensue if the 20 acres in question were used. Wilson stated consideration had been given to this problem and that the Pollution Board had bee~ fully advised of the program. Robertson said ~r. 5~orrison's point was that if such litigation did occur might it not create the necessity for an expensive treatment plant. Wilson said he thought not, alth~gh the time might come when there is enough growth in population that a primary tank should be lo~ated nearer town. Stewart stated p~esent plans had called for increase for l0 years, possibly up to 1~ or 14,000. Mrs. Milliman asked where the water in the trenches would go durLng the spring run-off. Young stated no sign whatever of run-off in that area, it all goes in the ground, k~rs. Milliman sa/~d ground would absorb only so much. In reply to the question as to the final site decided on Young stated Northwest of Heavenly Valley - along the old rail$oad right-of-way. Wilson stated site selected for three things. 1. Isolation. ~.. Contour. 3. i,~ature of ground, whihh is rotten granite - very porous. ~.~r. Ball asked what p.lans had been made for raising ~100,000. Wilson stated could go ahead with present plan and abandon sewering any other part of District at this time. Could complete the Nevada proceedings and use that $140,000 to make up the difference. Could depart from County rule and increase assessed valuation of District in or~ter to sell more bonds. Can ln~:rease ~ssessed valuation but not ~0%. Or it would be possible to go through and skimp the entire system, which would increase operative cost. ~/r. Rpbertson outlined a suggested plan which would probably eliminate the necessity for litigation on the pert of his clients, and state~ although the plan is not perfect, and would of comrse have to be submitted to the D. A. for some points. Wilson stated this Ms a people's project and the ~oard was interested in building a system in a manner to make everyone happy during con- struction as well as during its use. Robertson stated if present plans are followed every legal step will be taken to stop building and injunctions will be filed. Wilson stated District would prefer no law suites, and if the pumping station could be located elsewhere it would be fine. Ronzone asked if Beach line would have to be eliminated for lack of money. Wilson said this Line would have to be given up. Ronzone stated if Beach line given up no need of pumping station in pt~esent location. Wilson stated that information was not correct. ~r. Wilke asked for a statement as to ~hether District woul& abide b~ decision of Supervisors regarding his clients outside the District. Wilson stated thosd outside the District could not be assessed without permission of Bpard of Supervisors. He said after careful consideration the conclusion had been reached that the fair method was to assess those outside the District as they too w_~uld benefit by the system. Wilke asked then if he could assume without Supervisors consent those outside the District would not be included. Wilson stated thst was ccrrecto Wilke stated his clients were all reasonable people sn~ he felt that when a reasonable plan is submitted they may be persuaded to come into the District. Wilson stated excluded property is a very serious problen. Ger~ral discussion regarding the Lakeside District situation. Norrison asked what other ways might be used to raise money. V~ilson stated could go to own rule and sell full $265,000 in bonds. Otherwise to go ahead and get Mevada site completed before starting. ~rs. Perry stated she felt if everyone had been included in the original plans with no one excluded the cost would have beex much less and people would have been glad to come in. Wilson asked how it would be possible to make people get along with each other, l~r. Wilke and ~.r. Keller stated they felt if people could see an acceptable plan they would come in to the District. ~¥]r. Bull asked why the assessment was $5 per foot regardless of depth of lot. i~,~r. Wilson stated practice and experience had developed this ne thod. Wilson stated if everyone came in financing could be d~ne entirely by G.0. bonds. He s~id if the ~,'ork started with financing by bonds, and couldn't be oompleted without additional bonds it would be impossible to get people to vote more bonds. * to * 33 Wilson stated the Nevada petition for Distric~t does not yet have enough signatures, as soon as it does the. DistriCt can be voted and then bonds can be sold. Mr. Bull asked why some had not received notice of hearing. stated re,~ords had been taken from Assesor's rolls.
