}.LiNAGER'S t~0Fff: General :~,Ianager th]ssell read his letter of resignation as follows:
"After serious consideration, I have reached the conclusion
that the position I accepted with the District never existed
and will not exist as long as present conditions exist. I
feel that I am doing~the people of South Tahoe and the Board
of Directors of the South Tahoe th~blic Utility District a
discredit as long asethe present conditions exist. Therefore
I am requesting that the Board of Directors accept my. resigna-
tion as General Hanager and District I~gineer of the South Tahoe
~blic Utility District."
Director Pa~rost moved that 51r. Russell's resi~nation be accepted. The motion
died for lack of a second.
Director Pad, est further moved that the Board accept Mr. ~]ssell's resignation
effective January 31~ 1961. This motion also lost for lack of a second.
Director ~?akeman requested an executive session on the reasons for ~{r. Russell's
resignation.
Attorney ~Teidman stated that in his opinion an executive session aras legal since
the subject involved an officer and employee of the District. }~Ir. ,r~ssell did
not request a public hearing on the matter and President rlall, ~vithout objection,
called an executive session.
The regular public meeting reconvened at 10:35 P.H. President ?fall's report on
the executive session included the following statement:
"This Board, several monthsa~,~o, made a decision to hire
a general manager for the express purpose of placing the
District on a firm business basis. Thereafter, four
members of the Board adopted Ordinance No. 65, which
provided the general manager with specific management
authority. One Board member has questioned the
propriety of Ordinance No. 65 on the grounds that }.Ir.
Russell did not have sufficient experience to exercise
the specific management authority granted by Ordinance
No. 65. The opinion of this Board r~ember is still un-
changed and it has motivated him to attempt to undo
the action taken by the remainder of the Board in
employing a general manager and providing for specific
authority of the General Hanager."
President ?{all stated that unless there Aras an objection he would accept the
resignation of ~Jr. ~ssell effective at the regular meeting January 19, 1961.
Attorney ~?eidman was asked by a representative of the press, if, in his opinion,
as a result of his presence at the executive session~ ~ether the session ~ras
legal. Attorney Weidman replied that in his opinion the executive session was
]e~lly conducted because the discussion related to officers and employees of
the District and how the general manager could exercise the authority granted
by the Board.
Director Pankost stated that he had not at any time since }.Ir. Ih~ssell had been
}Janager, made an attempt to interfere with L~r. Russell's authority as general
manager, lYirector Pankost further stated that Ordinance No. 65 should be re-
pealed. Director Pankost expressed his opinion that as a Director he did not
think it wrong to talk with employees of the District. Director PanI{ost further
stated that when he observed construction which, in his opinion ~ras questionable,
he reported the spine to Hanager P~ssell, who sometimes differed with Director
P,?nkost's opinion. Director Pankost finally observed that if it was against the
law for an? member of the Board, or even a private citizen, to talk ~th
employees of the District, he was not aware of ii,.
President Wa.l] asked ~Jana.%rer ~lussell if he would have ar~z desire to leave the
District's employ if it were not for one Board men]bet's lack of cooperation.
.~,lana.ger Russell replied in the negative.

P,()LL CALL:- On call of the roll there were present: Directors Wall, Souza,
W~d,~eman, Pankost and. Goeringer. Also present were General ~Iana=er ~ussel];

Hiles of the Tahoe Sierra Tribune; Walt Little of the Lake Tahoe News; Joyce
Johnson of the Nevadn State Journal; Luther },,iayo, and Arlene Thomas.
~,~. BUSIES: President ?fall gave any of the visitors present an opportunity to
bring up their business so they need not stay ii, rough the entire session.
Arlene Thomas asked Attorney ?tei~nan if he had conferred with the District
Attorney on the validity of the previous recall petition against Director Pankost.
Attorney Weidman stated thnt he and District Attorney Jack ?fin/der spent nearly-
four hours discussing this problem, and legal research on it, and agreed on the
following points:
1. A petition for recall does not have to be addressed to any specific
body.
2. ]'~ere the person sought to be recalled is the Clerk of the Board,
as well as a director, the petition should be presented to the Board of Directors.
3. That the specific matter at issue was whether a recall petition
presented to the Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Publ2c Utility District,
but addressed to the Board of Supervisors, Connty of 1'21 Dorado, State of Califor-
nia? was a mntter which the District Directors could properly consider.
4. That the question was moot since the dec~sion had already been
made and an opinion was nnnecessary.
.Ur. Weidman stated that on Point 3, that is, the question of whether or not the
Directors could properly consider the previous recall petition, he and the District
Attorney had researched the law but fonnd no applicable law in this field.
~'feidman's opinion remains that since the petition was addressed to the Board of
Supervisors and not the Board of Directors, and that all of the si~ers were not
present when the petition was presented to the Directors, that the Directors could
not properly consider the petition. !Ie stated however~ thai, 'this opinion would be
disputed by some attorneys.
President "~fall stated that nnless there was an objection he would instruct the
Attorney to proceed no further in requesting a formal I)istrict Attorney's opinion
on ;~ttorn.v Genera]'s opinion.
Director Souza. moved, seconded by Director ?fakeman, that the President appoint a
co~nittee of himself and one other Board member to interview applicants for the
ffeneral manager of the District, and :in addition authorize the committee necessary
travel expense to conduct interviews. Director Pankost moved to a~end the motion
to request travel expense be approved by the Board before any travel for interviews
was made. The amendment died for lack of a second. The original motion carried

· :tNAGER's IU.~POPff: !!ann,get Priday stated that the construction oF the pu~npinz
stations has picked ,ap as the contractors have added manpower and he called_ on
Tr. ~oyer to ~ive ?note of the details. }.Ir. ?lo~,er reported that the A1 Tahoe
p,m~p station was 85yi complete but he feels tha't action should be taken by
La?;ran¢? Construction if the completion date is to be met. lie also feels that
there are problems which can be met, and construction possibly com. pleted on
time but he questions whether it will be in operation by the completion {late
o'P .~!areh 1. !Ie feels~ however~ that it will be close.
7ans,ger priday then reported that ameet, inF; had been held on Februam~ 9 at

Pelative to the mechanics for annexation to the District~ as suggested by him
at, the prior meeti~ have been started ,,'md he recommen{Sed that Bro:'rn & LCaldwell's
report on annexation fees~ dated January 19~ 1960, be adopted for those parcels
lying without but conti~:ous to the boundaries of the District. /kttornev
'Veidman stated that it is possible that Ordinance No. 51 provides for this. In
addition to this, ?tr. Priday continued, any new subdivisions x~shinz to annex
to the District must first design and install its mm collection system under
the direction of the District and then turn it over to theDistrict for main-
tenance and operation~ free and clear to the District~ with the District's only
obligation being responsibility for the constrnction of any additions for the
benefit of expansion.
?,[ana,pjer Priday stated that lie had reviewed the plans and specifications for
Assessment District 1960-4 as prepared by the ~n~zineers~ Cio.ir A.Hill £: Assoc-
ia, tes, and it is his recommendation that they put out for bids.
!~r. Priday further stated that he felt that a Pesolution should be set. up pro-

was approved for adoption by unanimous vote.
:,fr. John Itoltom~ Attorney, stated that relative to Project 1960-3, he would like
to call for bonds in the neighborhood of ~Jarch 10~ 1981~ the reason being that

NU,~%~ BUSINESS: - Tentative bo(reda(les of :)~.~tmct 1961-1 ~ ,' ,, ,
· ~:ne~lneer :,;o~ er said
that in accordance with the imstructions from the Board of Directors~ they have
studied the probable boundaries for the southeastern portion of the District
and would like to present them to the Board for discussion. He them produced
a map showing the boundaries of the existin~ assessment districts and the proposed
61-1 District and explained their reasons for settin~ these boundaries.
:,..~er also recommended that separate consideration should be ~iven to 61-1
r~ther than all of them - -Lakeview Tahoe~ Heavenly VAlley !!omes~ etc.
Director Pa~mst brought ot~t the fact that the area near Ski Run be included
in the 61-1 considering the cost in this area will be considerably more and
the enzJneers lmve ~o fear inasmuch as the desi~ of the sewer installation has
been i nvesti gated. '
P~esident ?.rail asked ?'~r. IIoltom if there is any reason that I,akeview Tahoe and
Heavenly Valley Itomes should or should not be in the 61-1 District?
Rn,~jneer }.'Ioyer said that it i.s perfectly feasible to install se~m~e lines in
these subdivisions but he would recon~nend that these be clone under separate
Assessment ~istricts than 61-1 which is outlined in orarf~e.
Director Pankost moved that these difficult areas and the service areas
Mdcb would be higher in cost to sewer be included in 61-1 assessment and the
costs be distributed accordingly. ."'.!orion was lost for lack of a second.
Director Souza moved that the District take in the area ontlined as 61-].
:Jotion was seconded by DirectorWakeman.
On the discnssion~ Director Pankost stated that in the past it has been the
policy of this Board to accept small portions of expensive areas into the less
expensive in order to equalize the cost. In the discussion~ Director
pointed out there are two opinions on this subject and one is that the addition-
al cost should be distributed and the other is that 61-1 should be kept to
itself.
On the question~ the motion to take in the area outlined as 61-1 was carried
by a 3./4 vote with Director Pankost voting "No".
OLD BUSIN~]~$: - General LIanager stated that from time to time petitions have come
into the office and have not been given disposition because of the cost of
handling of individual petitions. I have investigated these and found that
they all seem to be in proper~ order but there are a co!~ple we would -uestion th
that were quetionable and were taken out as they did not ~eem to follow Distri;t fee
policy. I asked TM
::,r. ~hultz to give me a letter" and he read a letter in reply
statin~ that Betty Gay and D~rvl ~'or ' '~
~:' .~ ,, ~. -,~ r~son were the miners of the property.
Director Pard,:ost does not feel that this Board can accept this statement since
when this property was excluded it was excluded on one petition - that of Betty
Ga,.,,,. Other than that one~ I think the other petitions are in order.
Director Souza moved that the Board accept all the petitions recommended
and not hold up all. petitions because of this one. Director 7fakeman seconded.
9irector 7akeman amended the motion 't,o theo.~[hect" that if this property is all

'Engineer ;:!oyer presented the enzineers ' recon~nendati on ~ speci fi cations,

l)irectorWall reported that the Water Bond Con~ittee met yesterday(February
15~ 1961) at noon. He stated that it is the opinion of this Con~n~ttee that
the water systems of this Valley will have to be integrated under a Public
Utility District before they can adequately serve the area with a water utility
and fire protection and it was the unanimous opinion of the ~o~ttee that it
must be done by a water bond election but due to the' public attitude~ they did
not believe it should be attempted at this time. Director Souza moved that the
Committeets report be accepted and that the Water Bond Election be cancelled.
On second by Director Wakeman~ motion was carried unanimously.
CHANGE OItDEI~- Mr. Priday presented Change Orders - five - on 1959 - 1 which
had been brought in by Brown and Caldwell~ the total amount of which was
$12~284o65~ and recommended that these be approved.
Director Souza moved to accept the ~anager~s recmmnendation as to the Change
Orders which were as follows:
No. 26 - represents an increase of $4~719.75
No. 21 - an increase of $100.70
NOo 28 - A decrease of $904.00
No. 24 - an increase of $744.50
No. 28 - an increase of $5~815.68
Director Pankost moved that these be accepted on the Manager*s recommendation.
On second by Director ~ouza~ the motion was carried unanimously.
Director Wall changed the order of the meeting to permit Mr. Duce~ Auditory
to present his report~ which was as follows:
Mr. Duce stated that all Directors had received copies of the Report of F~-59
and 60. During the first of this exazrination (about January 1960) the books
were not posted to date and they made some rather pointed criticisms~ some
of which carried over to this year. This was mainly the handling of cash
and illegal conaection~. As a result of their recommendations~ the Board
saw fit to hire Mr. Mallery to ~'tighten up control~ etc. The Con~nittee and I
went over the repor~ carefully and I believe that action has been taken on
most of the reco~nendations and/or criticisms. Due to the fact that the
District grew so very rapidly~ it was necessary in this fiscal year to make
a lot of transfers. Steps are now being taken to obviate this necessity.
On the whole~ I feel that appropriate action should be taken to consider
depreciation on this plant.
Due to the great amount of work necessary to get this audit done~ the current
work was behind for several months. Mr. llallery has brought all postings up
to date as of January31~ 1961~and I have reviewed his work very carefully
and make a strong recommendation that the Board be appraised every month as
to how it stands with regard to expenses. Mr. Mallery should make the report
on the third Thursday of eahhmonth for the previous month,
Director Wall instructed Mr. Mallery to present a written report on the third
Thursday of March for the month of February.
Director Wakeman moved that this audit report be approved, On second of the
motion by Director Souza~ the motion was carried unanimously.
Attorney Weidman was instructed by Director Wall to take the necessary legal
procedures to publish this financial report.
Director Wakeman asked if there is not some way in which this District can
take action in connection with these illegal hook-ups. Manager Priday said
that there is an ordinance but he would question the legality of acting on this.
Director Wall appointed a Committee of Directors Wakeman~ Frank Souza~ and Don
Clarke as a Research Con~alttee to begin research immediately to establish an
integrated unit of all water systems of this Valley.
CLAIMS:- Claims were presented and recommended for l~ent by the General Manager
and checks and warrants totalling $27,927.~8~Check Nos.1742 through 1802 and
Warrant Nos. 960-972.
AIXIOURI~:- There being no objection~ the meeting was adjourned by the President
at 10:45 P.M, until the next regular meeting on March~2, 1961..~ .

?irector Pankost stated that this i.$ p, little ridiculous - one cC the
richest men in the Valle]- is d~mpin,~; 10~000 ?lions of ~ewa. fje into the
!ai:e. ~oonor or Inter all of TaTceland Vt.!laze will have to co:ne in to
tho District. If you ..coopt this pe~ition~ ye. are bi~derinff the
qrov~,h oF this Valley.
9iroctor Wall stated that the lloe. rd bas c?c~pt~d n poi. icy that is not q?~ite
clear and, if it can be done, he thinks it should be clarified. My first question
in this connection is:
What does "contiguous property" mean?
What does "ownership really mean - is it the ownership of
record in the County Offices?"
Attorney Weigh replied that the determination was made as to ownership as
required bylaw, but he could not answer the first question.
President Wall said that the Board should take steps to clarify these two
points - what do we mean by "contiguous" and what do we mean by "ownership"?
He then instructed the Attorney to bring back the answer to these questions.
Director Pankost objected and stated that, when a piece of property is re-
corded in Your name, it is your property and you are the owner of record.
President Wall said that, unless there was an objection, he would appoint
Director Pankost, Attorney Weidman, and General Manager Priday to bring
back a statement of policy for this Board to adopt concerning;these two-
questinns - - the exact definition of Wtownership" and how rights-of-way
and streets affect the "contiguity" of property.
Director Souza asked "How soon do you think the Con~nittee can bring in a
decision?" Director Pankost replied that he thought about the time of the
next meeting. He will get a ruling fro~ the Attorney General and the Division
of Real Estate.
Director Souza said that he would like to be on that ~o~ttee and President
Wall stated that, unless there is an obgection, he would appoint or include
Director Souza in the Co~tteeo
Director Pankost stated that he will get letters to the various officials and
if he can get a reply back from them a week from today, he will try.
President Wall said that if Mr. Pankost, as Chairman, will notify him in time
to call a Special Meeting next, he will do so. If not, we will let the ~atter
go until the next meeting.
President Wall further instructed the Co~ittee of four - Earle FoPankost,
Chairman, unless the Co~ttee objects, to hold a meeting tonight to decide
how it is ~oing to proceed.
President Wall asked Attorney Weidman about the motion to accept the Gay-
Morrison petition and was told that the only report we can give these people
is that the report of Mr. Schultz in not correct. President Wall asked if
the ownership of both of theee parcels is exact.
Director Pankost said: 'I ~ant it to be specifically understood, as I a~
fighting a lone battle re~arding the annexation of this piece of property to
the District, tb~t the people ~re good friends of~ine and I have never had
anything but ~ood relations with them. I, personally, as a Real Estate Broker,
would not have sold this piece of property if I had known it was to be allowed
to come into the District."
President Wall stated that no decision could be made ~onight because of the
differences of opinion.
Director Waken said that, in order to Clairfy the recerd in his own~ind,
when the Holiday Lodge wanted to bring in its l~rge piece of property, there
was quite a lot of discussion, etc., and that is why he did not want such a
situation to develop again and that is why we are going through all of this.
Director Pan~ost moved that I~ESOLUTION NO. 283 -A~ESOLUTION OF TBE BOABD OF
DII~ECTOP~ OF TI~ SOUTH TAHOE I~JBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT AUTHORIZING ADVERTISING
FOR BIBS FOR FUR~ISHING OF E~UIPMEET TO SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT,
be approved. On second by Director Wakeman, Director Pankost amended his
motion to read that the specifications state that the automobile be of USA
manufacture. On the vote, the motion and the amendment hereto, was carried
unanimously.
President Wall asked if any one in the audience would like to bring up any
business and Mr. James Keller stated that he is the owner of the Lots 1 and 2
for which he has petitioned for annexation but the others are not his as he
sold them and he cannot bring them into the District without all of those
buyers ~.ng':him.
President Tall stated that he thought we would like to have this in the Minutes.
Director Pankost asked if those lots were sold prior to exclusion and Mt.Keller
replied that they were not but had been sold after they were excluded.
The next item on the Agenda was the request for the purchase of a Friden
Calculator (used) at a price of $340°00 including sales tax. General Manager
Priday stated that, to duplicate this machine with one ~f today, new, would
cost at least $820°00. Mr. Mallery has been using%he machine and agrees
with this statemat.
Director Pankost moved that the Manager be instructed to purchase the Friden
Calculator in question and, on second by Director Wakeman, the motion was
carried unanimously.
APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDERS:- General Manager Priday presented the following
Change Orders which he recommended for approval:
No. 4 - Reason for change required by realignment - $663.18 in
favor of Lagrange.
No.20 -
Description of Change - ~nstall pavement on San Francisco

Director Pankost moved that, on the reco~nendation of General Manager Priday,
these Change Orders be approved. On second by Director Wakeman, motion was
carried unanimously.
CLAIMS:- Claims, as listed~ were recommended for payment by the General Manager~
with checks Nos. 1818 through 1860 in the amount of $2,457.51 and Warrants Nos.
973 through 982 in the total amount of $73,365.64 presented for signature.
Director Souza moved that these claims be paid as recommended by the General
Manager and, on second by Director Clarke, motion was carried unanimously.
Director Pankost stated that a check Writer with signature attachment should
be purchased and General Manager said that he requested Attorney Weidman to
ascertain if it would be legal.
President Wall stated that, as of now, all standing committees are cancelled
and, at the next meeting, he will appoint new committees. He also stated that
the Board nor the district has a flag and he would like to have one of the
United States of America and one of the ~tate of California at these meetings.
Director Pankost moved that Manager Priday~ together with himself, take the
necessary steps to have a flagpole put in and that a suggestion be made to
our Manager to cause a flagpole to be installed on the grounds of the Treat-
ment Plant and purchase the necessary flags. On second by Director Wakeman,
the motion was carried unanimously.
Mr. John DeLagrange, Contractor, offered to donate a flag to this District for
use in its Conference Room.
Engineer Meyer read Change Order No. 5 - Beach Trunk, which calls for the removal
of and replacement of existing MttNo. A-2 at an approximate cost(increase) of

MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL FiEET~NG
OF THE BOARD OF I)IRECT01~S OF TIlE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
l%{arch 3, 1961
The Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility District met in a special
session on March 8, 1961, at the offices of the District, ~ewage Treatment Plant~
Johnson Read, Lake Valley~ California. The meeting was called to order by the
President at 8:40 P.M.
ROLL C~TJ,: - On call of the roll, there were present Directors Clarke, Pankost,
Souza, Wakeman, and Wall. Also present were General ~nager Priday, Clerk & Ex-
Officio Secretary Mallery~ Mr. Walter Schultz, Realton, Mr. Dick Seaton and Mr.
James Keller, Jr.
PURPOSE 0FMEETING:- To hear and act on the Report of the Special Committee
relative to the District's policy on annexation of previously excluded proper-
ties and to consider two petitions which were postponed.
Chairman Pankost read the report of the Co~nittee which was as follows:
"In order to clarify certain words and phrases as set forth as Annexation
Policy in the Minutes of January 26~ 1961~ the Comittee unanimously
recon~nends to the Board for adoption:
(~) That the petitioner must be owner of record (a "record owner" may be
construed to be the person and~or persons in possession under recorded
Contract of Sale).
(2) That the land proposed to be annexed must include petitioners'
entire parcel and/or all contiguous property under the ownership of
petitioner not physically separated by a dedicated street or road".
President Wall opened the meeting for discussion and Director Clarke and Director
Souza asked for clarification of certain statements after which the Report of
the Co,~nittee was unanimously approved.
The President then asked if it was clear to all as to the following: 1. The annexation of a previously excluded parcel
2. Ownership is that at the time of the petition
3. In case of petition, the purchaser or owners of property must
petition in all of the contiguous property under the same ownership.
Director Pankost said that, also to further clarify this~ it was understood that~
as far as the petition is concerned~ "contiguous territory" means the property ad-
joinin~ ~he petitioned property and owned by the petitioner. In this area, half
or more of the property is under contract of sale. Thus, one person may hold the
deed to a certain parcel of land but he may have sold it long before the holder
of the contract of sale controls the said property.
President Wall then said that the Board has two cases of questionable petitions.
Director Souza asked that~ in the case of property~ say~ owned by Earle and him-
self; next to that he and the Manager owned a lot~ would that be questioned or
who would be considered to be the one Owner?
President Wall said that unless there was an objection~ he would make it clear for
the Minutes that this means "IDENTICAL ~EBSHIP".
Director Pankost said "to better clarify that, the lots sold under Contracts of Sale
were sold prior to exclusion and it is my understanding that the purchasers of these
lots requested that they be excluded and~ as a person not owning property could not
have it excluded, it was done byMr. Keller and Mr. Keller's only relief is to re-
cord these contracts of sale".
The President then said that he would like to talk of the case of Mr.James Keller,
Jr. He has two(2) lots on petition and previously had several, of which many have
been sold by him under Contracts of Sale. He is~ therefore, recording these Contracts
of Sale and is presenting a newpetition.
President Wall then brought up the case of Betty Morrison Gay and Daryl Morris-
on who are represented by~r. Walter Schultz and read the last paragraph of
Attorney Weidman's letter of March 2, 1961, which was stated as follows: "It
would therefore seem, under the annexation policy heretofore adopted~ that the
petition of Elizabeth Morrison Gay and Daryl ~orrison should be denied unless
they also petition and are joined thereby by JolmEugene Morrison and Irlene
A. Morrison for annexation of the adjoining Lakeland Village property."
Mr. Schultz then presented a report from the Western Title and Guaranty to the
Bijou Realty~ reading as follows:
"Gentle,'uen: ~ , :~

':r. Schultz questioned tt~e "possession of land", statinf~ that the point he ~,'eo.ld
like to make is that the ~,~'ord "sale" or "contra~t of sale" does not mean title.
In order to understand the rights of the tvo children in Lakeland Village, the
important fact is that the children are prohibited from encumberin~ the'total
property; and ~;qmt they are petitioning is the land to ~'zhich they have the le:~al
right. This does not mean that all Contracts of .qo. le have the same stipulations.
President 'Tall said that his reaction ',~ould be that the policy set by the Board
should stand and it may be that the Board ~:.o. ld like to make an exception.
Director Pankost said that all contracts carry,~ the sa,me stipnlation. The reason
that this Board cane up vi. ih the policy is because there are more parcels sold
under contract of sale in this area than in o,.ny other piece. To determine
xdmt makes an enctmbrance.~ I do not believe even ! Superior Court could decide.
9irector 'Takeman said that :it is his understandinff that the Duke Valley arr;a
~.dll evidently have to do somethin~ to its septic systen~s but~ if they cannot
encumber the property~ v!mt are they ffoin(~ to (to?

7,¥. 7[~eller asked ~hv., not add to the policy "and has a le:'lal ri?'~ht to p.~,~e"-',~:ton'

i;~irector Souza read from Beverly and 7ei&~c~n's letter as follm'rs:
"The record o:mership discloses It!mt it, is/in the naae of John '75~,~ene

President ?fall called for a vote on the motion to authorize Attorney

Director Pankost said that the motion is entirely out of order, and Director
ClarI:e as[,:ed on what basis did he l~ind this motion out of order. Director
ParLkost replied that it ~xs oct of order becanse the Board is asl:in~ for an
opinion on one petition only.
President Z'al] ~tated that this is the reason why he asked for this vote
on one ~arcel - becat~se we are i.n a Special }.[eetin,~ and not a re,~lar meet,-
in~. Therefore, I accept this motto.n, as in order at this time. All those
who ~,p.hold the order of the motion~ please so si.~ify ~z saying "Aye". The
decision of the Board upheld the motion with ~rector Pad, est votinf~ "No".
'-~ana.~er Priday vw.s therefore instrncted to contact Attorney Noltom in this
connection.
}.'ir. Keller handed his Petition for Annexation to !'ir. ~.!allery who read same
by which he requested that his Lots Nos. ] ,.md 2, Block 102, Bi jou Park

Director Pent-:est moved that this petition be approved and motion v~as

Director Par~Tcost then asked ?Lt. Keller if the property petitioned is his
personal property and if he had any contiguous property nnder his control
to which q~estion Ur. Keller answered in the negative relative to contignous
property.
Director PanI~ost amended his motion to state that the property ~.~i]l be
accepted for annexation when it is found that there is no conti~ous
prl~perty under ~ir. Jim Keller's control.

BL~-?P.' ~.!r. Mallery explained, compared, and slated reasons for increases or decreases
from last year's budget.
Director Imbach asked what ~as considered an ~pense. It was stated that an -~xpense is
oue in which an individual covers a specific job, trip, for the District only. All
expenses regarding the job or the trip will be against the particular Expense Account.
General Manager Priday stated the Budget was figured less this year than last year and
that the ?'.iaintenance and Operating ~xpenses are down and also other expenses which were
taken out of General Fund last year are now in proper accounts.
Mr. Priday Stated that the proposed budget includes the salary raises that might come
due. The request which }..Ir. Prid~y made to have the General .Manager's salary increased
to an additional ~500.00 per year; Office :, hater from ~550.00 per mont, h to ~600.00;
the Plant Supervisor from ~575.00 to ~,~62o.00 per month, is also figured into the budget.
Mr. Priday stated that the proposed budget includes the salary fo~ '6he possible hiring
of a Senior OperatGr. The Senior Operator will be available at all times in case of
illness of the Plant Supervisor, vacations, etc. The salary is figured as $480.00 to
0575.00. The five steps listed below could be followed for the increases:
l. Starting schedule, 2. three month's, 3. one year, 4. two years,
5. 3 years to reach the maximtnn amount quoted above.
},ir. Malle~sy stated that the Postage Figure is e:'cpensive because of the Assessments. Also,
mention was made that the possible increase of .01¢. for postage was not figured into
this figure but should the increase become effective, the postage figure should cover same.
The insurance figure was a rather difficult one to fi,~rure; however, Mr. ~llerv slated
the figure on the proposed budget would be ,ample to cover same. ~
The Accounting figure will be less this year and the reason given ~as that the Auditors
will be doing the Audit and possiblely some work in Placerville as far as Bonds and
Interest are concerned. The figure set is .~2o00.00.
~IIscel]aneous covers expenses which are not specifically allocated. This year figq~es
is $.55,~00.00 and last year fi~mare-~61,100.00. This is a cut of ~5600.00.
Director Imbach asked what the election cost was. It was stated that the cost was be-
tween ~l,000.00 and ~1,100.00 -'-Attorfaeyc.'Jei,dman stated also that the ?later Bonds which
were called off cost $300.00 each.
The Power Figure is $17,800.00.~:. Mr. Souza stated that a new meter device was installed
at the Plant so full advantage can be had of the Power Industrial 2ate.
}-,ir. ~
:.Iallery stated that since the Plant is new - the repairs were figured not to be much
of an expense.
Fire nsurance was checked ~ith Mr. Gibson and he stated the figure was high but it was
best t6 leave it at that.
The $10,000.00 figmre for Machinery and Equitraent covers the purchase of three (3) pick-
up trucks. Two are for the Inspectors and one for the Plant Supervisor who will handle
all of the Pumping Stations as well as the Sewage Treatment Plant. (Copy of Proposed
Budget attached to Directors Study Session Hinutes).
Discussion regarding a $20~000.00 5gater Survey which Brown and Caldwell was to prepare
took place. General Manager Priday stated he had not received a bill from Brovm & Cald-
well and this ,~vey was to have been completed around late sm,.aer-early fall of 1959.
Mr. Harlan Moyer stated that Brown & Caldwell were engaged as a ".tater Consultant and
this was not a project; it was a .~ster Plan for the Future Growth of the District. The
,~20,000.00 figure was to be for preparing an Engineering report which would contain
feasibility studies for this District to go into the Water Business and if so - how so.
Brown & Caldwell agreed to furnish this service and not to exceed $20,000.00.
Attorney Itoltom stated the Preliminary Report was contracted for but based on the report a
study was to be made and the proceeds of the ~gater Report Study would reimburse the District,
Director Imbach asked where the ~20,000.00 is to come from and Mr. ~llery stated that
if the assessed overall valuation is conservative - the ~20,000.00 could very well be
figured in the budget.
General ~ianager Priday suggested the S20~000.00 be put in the Budget for ~?ater Survey
and increase the budget from S25,000.00 to $26,000.00.,~: It was agreed
F~l~~t~x~g~~.that we increase the estimated assessed valuation for the compila-
tion of the 1961-62 Budget to $26~000o00

noon,~with Mr. Ikn~ner, ~,ir. Chism~ ~. Moyer and ~,ir. Souza.
e - Harper and Baxter - A stop order was put on ttarperand Baxter on June 11,
1, ceasing all excavations until such time as paving is done and the paving
is to the Satisfaction of the Engineer on the job. Mr. Souza stated that
Itarper and Baxter are not doing the repaying and they have a time limit on their
contract. In the event they do not do their paving, they cannot open any new trenches
and the District will have to step in and do the job.
Re: - GeqFge Miller - Streets are being redone for Tahoe Sierra Subdiv. ?23. They.
have not completed mixing the surfacing but they will do it. The width will be 22
and will have the necessary coverage required by Mr. Downer. ~ir. Miller ~ solely
responsible for the final street paving.
Re: - .Roy Price -Agreed to start repaying the trenches only.
For 60-3 and on 1st Street - 60-2; the County is contributing one dollar per lineal
foot to complete those areas that will be necessitated by only one-half of a job.
It was mentioned that the Utility DiStrict should know answers to many questions
that will arise regarding the paving of streets~ type of paving~ widths, etc. Mr.
Priday stated that he had a discussion with Mr. Downer and stated that Mr. Downer
does have a list which he will try to obtain.
Mr. Moyer stated that it would have been very helpful if the County would ~ave not
been willing to obtain funds other than the limited amount on particular pavings
of Streets and it would have been helpfull too if all the streets were paved in
the same materials. Mr. ~yer stated~ however, that the Contractor can do the
work in the way he so desires.
Mr. Imbach asked if there was a letter written as to what Mr. Downer would accept
regarding the streets~ etc. ~.-Priday read a paraooTaph regarding repaying and
resurfacing and mentioned that no final money will be released to the Contractor
on any project that has not been~cepted by the County.
Mr. ~Takeman suggested a Committee be formed towork on the streets and that way all
problems could be looked into and checked before presenting to the Board. Mr. Priday
stated that at this time it would not be ~se to form a committee and that a Mro
Fred Wheeler is being hired and he will take care of the problems, tlowever, when
the roads are again in poor condition - Mr. Priday stated that~ould be the time to
form a Committee.
Mr. Moyer stated that the Contractors do no more than operate by their contract. All
troubles on the repaying will have to fall back on the Contract. ~ge can only operate
with the information that the County will give. The County Order is a part of the
contract and we have to operate ~dthin that framework. The District cannot go by
word of mouth from the County but must go by the Contract.
Mr. Wakeman suggested a Committee be formed to handle such as Mosquito Control~ Street
Lights, ~?ater, Power~ Heat~ Garbage, Transportation, Telephone, SeWage~ Drainage. Mr.
Priday stated that if this could be worked to set up certain standards and have the
County adhere to same it mk~ht prove to be good. ~. Souza stated a Chairman will
be selected on June 15, 1961 - regular meeting.

necessary and to reject all work and materials that do not meet the requirements.
NEVADA CONTRACT: Mr. Priday stated that at the last meeting of the Committee - new
agreements were necessary.
1. Administer charges involved between California and Nevada.
2. Rough Draft had been made in 1959 by D'Angelo in regards to this new
Agreement and in reading same it is an agreement in which is being considered.
3. The Douglas County Improvement District No. 1 was availabe to help out
in the Capital Improvement of the Beach Tru~ Line,Bijou and Force ~ins.
If Nevada were to buy the capacity of 500,000 gallons a day, they would buy the
right to use the Treatment facilities up to 20%. However, they might only use
3007000 to 400~000 ands s long as they do not exceed the 500,000 they will pay the
fixed amount. If they must have more capacity7 they should buy and pay for same and t~e~
Contract should so state this. ~
Provisions should be made for Additional Se~tge from Nevada and they again ~ill contribute
towards the cost and how they will contribute should be definitely stated.
.~fr. Burlingham stated that ~u~ny items regarding the Nevada Contract were not to clear
to him. Mr. Clarke suggested a meeting should be held7 before the Directors meet

Plant for further discussion regarding the Nevada Contract. President Souza asked
that everyone have their questions ready for this discussion.
LAND I,F~SE: ~,.lr. Priday stated that the rent paid for the land is an exorbitant one
and suggested that since nothing can be done locally or in Sacramento, Attorney Weidman
be given permission to go to Washington and check i~to this agreement. Check to see if
an extension, at a nominal fee, can be had. Mr. Priday stated the thougt should be to
purchase land rather than to rent. President Souza asked Attorney Weidman to

4.94 Acres is six and one-half Units (6~) which is based on a frontage Assessment
Rule. It is over 12,000 sq~re feet and it is also over 120 feet deep, fronting
only one street. 0nly one-half of the property is available for sewer and in the
event the individual was to build on the other portion of this property~ arrange-
ments must be made for a sewer. This can be done under another Assessment or on
a Cash Basis.
Mr. Roy T. Jameson, owner of nine (9) lots- Bijou Park Acres, was present for the
hearing and stated that he did not wish to protest but attended the hearing for
i nformati on.
Mr. Jameson asked if it *as necessary that he connect to the sewer i~nediately
and Mr. Priday stated that the only time he would be required to connect would
be when the County and State Health Officers state the septic system cannot be
replaced. Mr. Priday suggested to Mr. Jameson, however~ that it would be less
expensive to have his laterals put in now.
Prior to adjournment of the meeting, The President Pro Tom requested the
photographer - ~. Donald Richardson from the Sacramento Bee, to take a
picture of the audience that was not in attendance.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:30 P.M.

S"EWER LINE I~TENSIONHEADOW VIEW (G~T.ETT0) Attorney Holtom stated that ~. Bruno
Galetto was assessed i~ 1939-1 for la'te~als and a line which was never installed.
It went to BOND and his property is being charged for a Sewer Line never installed.
It would be preferable that the work involved in the actual installation of the
Sewer Line be included in the work of 1961-1 because of what has happened.
To obtain the approval and express to the Board their agreement to be included in the
1961-1 preceedingwithout the necessary Publication of Notice, Attorney Holt~n stated
that Mr. Galetto was asked to contact all parties involved regarding the property for
their decision and consent to be included in the 1961-1 Assessment. ~r. Galetto
stated that all parties were agreeable.
Mr. John Lagrange, Lagrang~e Construction Company, stated that the 1959-1 Assessment
District was his job and he was told by the Engineers to cut the project off at that
area. He also stated that by having this in the 1961-1 Assessment, the District
is saving money.

Director Burlingham moved, seconded by Director Clarke that Resolution No. 311~
be accepted. The vote was unanimously carried.
E~CLUSIONS: Director Wakeman explained the problems confronting the District
regarding excluded properties. He stated that starting from the beginning of
the District in 1952 to the present time, we have had the problem of approximately
1,000 total exclusions and there are still approximately 940 exclusions left. Also,
that two-thirds of the District is paying a disproportionate share of the Administra-
tive cost of the District because of the great number of excluded properties.
From l~y 5, 1961~ to July 5~ 1961, fourteen (14) parcels were serviced legally~
fees collected, and brought into the District~ which means approximately the
District is able to annex five (5) parcels per month. Using the figure of
940 - Director Wakeman stated it would t~e sixteen (16) years to process all
exclusions.
Director Wakeman further stated that after sending out 940 letters explaining
excluded parcels and petitions to annex to the District, which is a direct
expense to th~ District, to date we have received ten (10) signed petitions in
return° '
ith legal ad-flee to handle these exclusions and it should be made a Special Item
on the Budget.
Director Wakeman also explained the problem which confronts land owners and buyers in
the Tahoe Area as far as back taxes due the District are concerned. Furthermore,
there are many property owners that are not aware of the fact that their property
is excluded and are faced with the problem of paying a very high tax bill when
they are annexed. Many of these people cannot pay the back taxes on a cash basis
and still wish to be included in the District and wish to pay on a time basis.
It was mutually agreed that a Special Con~nittee should be formed to further study
this proble~ and Director ~'Take,nan appointed Director Imbach as Chair~nan of the
Con~nittee. Mr. Imhach will appoint two others to help him.
Regarding the propesed extension of 1959-1 Sewer Line to service five (5) lots in
blocks 20 and 29, A1 Tahoe, excluded.:~properties~ Mr. PridaY stated that these lots
are all within the Globin tract and the people adjacent to the Street where the Sewer
Line now ends do not have a line rnnning near their house and they are allw illing to
willfng to pay for same. .Mr. Priday stated that we can contract for an additional
mnount of line to connect these people. The parcels-involved are listed below:
1. .lack F. Mrs. Mary alaggxore, Mrs. Lewis Bothwell
Lot 18, Blk 20, A1 Tahoe, (LApproved 9/1/60 )
2. Brownie Parietti '
Lot 12, Blk 20 - A1 Tahoe, ( Approved 4/6/61/)
8. Glen E. & Ida May Rock, A1 Tahoe, ( Approved
Lot 5~ Blk 29, A1 Tahoe
4. Mr. & Mrs. R.H. Kuhl
Lot 3 and 4, Blk 29, A1 Tahoe
Mrs. Kuhl stated that she had previously presented her problem regarding her
and at that time she left tlie meeting with the understanding her property would
be assessed for the Sewer and would go to Bond. Mrs. Kuhl stated that she was
buying the property from ~,{r. 61obin and he excluded her property without her
knowledge.
Mrs. Kuhl also stated that she is representing five (5) individuals this evening
and stated that all~ including herself, had signed petitions and asked for re-
annexations; also~ that they have signed at least. Six (6) petitions. She was
told that she had no problems and left the previous meeting mentioned and since
that time has sent in other petitions and also signed a new one with Hr.Mallery
just to make sure one was available. Mro Globin was (hmer of Record of Mrs.
I£uhl*s lot and she stated that she has gone through a 'great deal of expemse
to clear this lot with Mr. Globin. She also mentioned that the Board should have
no alternative but to extend the S~.?ER down the street and the five (5) parcels
involved should not be liable for a mistake from the Assessors Office. Mrs.
K~I stated that she and the other property o'~ners cannot pay the money and do
not feel that they should have to.
Attorney Weidman stated that this problem ~ras brought before the Board approxi-
mately in July of 1960 and at that time the Board of Directors had been accept-
ing petitions of cases who needed SEWER service and if they needed immediate
SEqgER service, they would compute the back taxes for~he parcels that were
excluded and they would'2pay the taxes. Attorney Weidman also stated',.:that at
that time~ it was agreed to informally accept these petitions and when they did ~
connect they would be liable for back taxes. The Policy still was to accept
these petitions and'.when several petitions were in we would have an -Mmexation.
In reviewing this problem~ Attorney Weidman stated that Ordinance No. 51was in
effect at that time and in accepting some of these petitions we did not say how
the people would pay their back taxes. With regard to how that would be connected,
Attorney Weidman stated that he could not recall.
Mrs. Kuhl stated they were not fighting paying back taxes but were unhappy about
paying in cash. (Also, Mrs. Kuhl's stated that she and the other individual's
would appreciate having Mr. Mallery compute the back taxes)
Director Wakeman asked Mrs. Kuhl if there were houses on these properties. .Mrs.
Kuhl answered there are eight (8) dwellings year around.
Attorney Weidman stated that Mrs. Kuhl and the other owners involved were told
they would be put in a future Assessment District.
Attorney IIoltom stated that since the District is obligated to Mrs. Kuhl and the
other property owners mentioned, they be included in the 1961-1 Assessment under
"Change in Modification". Director Burlingham moved that Attorney Holtoms
suggestion be accepted and Director Imbach seconded. The vote was mqanimously
carried.
General Manager Priday mentioned to Mrs. Kuhl that for her own information the
1959-1 Assessment District was $384.00.
DirectorImbach moved that the District continue to receive petitions for
annexations but the next action on these Annexation Petitions would be taken at the
first meeting in October~ except action will be taken on any netitions for annexa-
tions submitted which are accepted for payment in full of all'back chKrges xn

and Mr.N. Goeringer. Also~ Mr. Imbach stated that Mr. Johnsnn said in October

Owners of these parcels would like to connect into the Beach Trunk Line and
propose to pay the cost installation in cash. They wish to have an Assessment
District formed and have agreed to go ahead with same if accepted.
Mr. Johnson was interested as to what procedure they might take to get into the
District and what the cost would be. Fie stated that an estimate had been made
in the past of $110,000.00 Mr. Johnson presented a map and pointed out the
area that is involved; mentioned thataapproximately 180 Units would be in the
Assessment District and if the past estimated figure for the Assessment
District were to be used, this would amount to approximately $800.00 plus per
lot.
~. Johnson also stated that a contract was signed in 1952 with the District
which has evidently been forgotten and not carried out. A Pumping Plant
was to be put in.
Mr. Johnson stated that he would like to see an arrangement made with the District
for the lot o~mers that have already put their 'q~YE" in. Petitions could be
signed by these people to be included in the District, pay their taxes, inspec-
tion:fee, and service fees from the time they went into service and also pay

can be given.

share from Stateline to the Pumping Plant.
Mr. Johnson also stated that in Tahoe Meadows there are some lots that,

cluded, with the exception of one lot ~ich has a residence~ until such

other than was in the letter they sent to the Board o'F Directo;-s May 9, ]961~ with
the attaclment of the cost anal?sis of the project concerned. Mr. Aberley stated
that if the Board were to ~rant their reqnest for additional compensation - their
Company would still be in the red for this job. ~rthem~ore~ Mr. Aber]ev
and Mr. Caldwell both stated that they felt the job was handled in a sat~isfacto~
manner~ and they also feel that they are justified in asking for the additional
compensation. Mr. Caldwell stated tha~ they liad not been notified regardi~
inefficient work for this particular job. '-
~Jr. Priday stated that. three (3) days after bis arrival 1959-1 was filed and
accepted as completed and the word had to be taken from the Engineer, but since
that time, Mr. Pti. day stated that he had taken a closer look and mentioned a
few items such as (1~ Belleview Pump Station, (2) where is the installation set in
regards to the property lines, (3) correspondence from Brown 2~ Ca]dwell to Lagrange
regarding the poor .job in streets 1959-1~ etc.
Mr. Aberley stated that he had recommended .~1,000.00 be withheld to complete the
cost of road repairs. ~,~iention was made that .~1,000.00 would not cover repairs
of two streets and that a guarantee is of no value if the people must continue
to go over bad roads, streets, etc. Mr. Aberley stated and agreed that ~Jl,000.O0
was not sufficient to cover the repairs and also stated that when the Board had
accepted the job as completed~ they were aware of the fact that the road work
was not comibleted.
~{r. Priday stated that he feels plenty of time has passed and that the job should
be completed immediately.
A list of items found to be unsatisfactory for 1960-1 and 1959-1 were given to Mr.

were not clear to him and President Souza suggested that he and Mr. Caldwell
meet with Mr. Priday in regards to clarifying same.
BUP-~'kU OF RECLA~,~TION: Mr. J. WiMder and Mr. H. Dunlap were present at the
Study Session and President Souza stated they were there to assist the Board
regarding Water Problems.
Director Burlingham asked what possibility there might be in finding unclaimed
water sources,(problems, etc.) and Mr. Dunlap stated that the water study would
tell and show where these sources could be found. ~
Mr. Wi~(ler stated that the Water Study would inform all as to where the water
would and could come from; whether rights could be had and where same are; what
the possibilities and ri~ts are, etc.
Mr. Imbach asked if any Water Studies have been made in this area and the answer
was that Water Studies have been made but very little construction was
actually done.
The primary concern of this Study interest is this portion of the Lake Tahoe
Basin. Mr. Dunlap stated that being a Federal Agency, they must work on the
overall problem, and the E1 Dorado Portion is their main interest.
5ir. R. Kniesley stated that some ten (10) or twelve (12) years ago a Survey was
made of this area; Washoe project designed; funds allocated;litigation passed,
etc., and to now bring a Federal Agency in here would only be an insult to the
people that have already made such a Survey; to over-ride all the work that has
been done by a previous .Agency is not very complimentary; furthermore~ if the
Federal Agency were to step in~ many of the present staff would resign; possible
law suits and cause a great deal of unhappiness.
Mr. Dunlap mentioned that the Bureau of Reclamation does not wish to interfere
with the Inter-State Compact Commission and if -this does occur, they would
rather not have the Study.
Attorney Weidman called attention to Act 96-102 and mentioned that an error,
oversight~ or - in regards to this particular paragraph was ~,omitted and asked
the visitors, ~Ir. Dunlap and Mr. Wi~der~ if it would be possible to include in
this clause a statement which would insnre the people of this area that joint
control would still be. It was stated that this answer would have to come from
the Agency; however, as to this being an error or an over-sight - they did not feel
this could be either becanse at the time the Act was drafted, the Tahoe Area
~ss not considered.
104
Attorney Weidman e~sked if the Agency anticipates any future wholesaling of water.
Hr. Dunlap stetted that the A~ency have these po~ers 'for the ~rholesaling at the
present time but not for dist'ribution.
Mr. R. Kniesley stated that nothing can really be gained by having a new Studyh
here and to do a new study the present Compact will no lo~er be of any value.
Mr. I(niesley also stated that there is very little water here in this area~ and
if this is thrown into litigation~ which would cause only trouble~ the entire
Compact is gone; however~ if this were limited to inquires on the other side
of the ridge~ this ~ould not interfere with the Compact whatsoever.
Mr. Dunlap stated that there is not sufficient water to satisfy everyone; when
do tie start looking for more; where is it to come from. Also~ Mr. Dunlap
stated that unless the people in the area wish this Study~ there is no one
that can force such a Study on them. A decision must be made within the
next week or two.
Mr. Clarke asked if any thought could be given to specifically directing and
asking the Bureau of Reclamation to consider this a problem especially from
the point of view of Importation of ~ater. Our problem is Importation of
Water and anything else they do in this area will be a duplication of an~ of
the Other Surveys. ~
Director Burlingham asked ~fr. Kniesley if a Survey for other water sources could
be obtained without bothering this present Compact. Mr. Kniesley stated that
the Department of Water Resources have made this Survey.
President Souza asked Mr. Winkler and Mr. Dunlap to check with the Bureau of
Reclamation for further information requested during the Study Session and
have ready to present to the Board for the regular meeting~ July 20~. 1961~
8:00 P.M. ~ Sewage Treatment Plant. Mr. Kniesley stated that Colonel A.M.
Barton be contacted regarding the Survey~ information, etc. ~ also.
~e ~ould
The cost of the Survey will be a Study by the County and / ~' ' be a part of
the County Expense. ~
The Study Session adjourned at 5:35 P.hi.

Director ImbaCh asked why do the Contractors request extension of time. Mr.
Priday stated that delay can be due to weather conditions, difficulties regarding
proper clearance of easements, etc., which are not the fault of the contractor.
Mention was made that the Assessment District's 1960-2, 3, and 4, are clear and
there are no outstanding eas~nents.
Director Burlingham asked if the District could expect all Special Assessments
to be completed, black-topping, etc., this year. Director Burlingh~n ~as told
that this could be expected.
Other questions regarding easements such as - are easements acquired before or
after a contract is let; what is the regular procedure on acquiring easements, etc.
Attorney l~oltom stated that the Engineers advise the Board as to what easements
are required for the Special Assessment District~, the Board in turn appoints a
right~of-way Agent to follow through on the required easements.
Director Imbach stated that once the specifications and engineering work is
completed, and the easement requirements are known, why does the Board not take
action inznediately to procure them. Attorney Holtom stated to Mr. Imbach that
the Board takes imediate action, and where necessary, an Eminent Domain
proceeding is filed; however, the Board is reluctant to file such a proceeding
until it is sure that someone who hasthe authority from the District has checked
thoroughly into all phases of any problem.
Director Imbach stated the reason for his questions regarding easements was that the
one in question was quite an old one and he would like to make'sure that a future
easement will not take as long to clear. Mr. H.Reeves, South Tahoe Public Utility
District's right-of-~ayAgent stated that the easement descriptions are now received
prior to a Protest Hearing. Mr. Reeves also stated that prior to this time, the
easements and documents were not received until possibly weeks later.
Statement was made that the easement for 1960-1 is quite an old one and the Board
cannot go back and clear that but they feel that in the future such a proble~ as this
will not happen again.
President Souza stated that there is definitely a change in theoperation of the
District now and it was very hard to get together the cooperation that was asked
for and thecoor dnation of some of our Contractors in the past; however, President
Souza stated that because of the change - it is up to us and our General Manager to
see the people in the area are getting thecooperation and coordination needed.

Weidman made a trip to Sacramento July 20~ 1961~ to further investigatethe
Water Study Problem. A lengthy discussion regarding the water meeting which
was held at Sacramento took place between Attorney Weidman and Board. Attorney
Weidman stated that he was very impressed with the Bureau and he also stated
that they are extremely interested in the fact that this is a water deficient
area and also could become more deficient~ possibly an export problem.
Attorney Weid~an stated that if this water study were to take placer it would
in no way interfer with the present Compact.
Attorney Weid~anwill draft a Resolution regarding this water study for
presentation to the Board in~nediately as the .Bureau of Reclamation nmst have
~n answer soon as a meeting is due next weekin Denver and all proposed studies
will come up at that meeting for budgeting.
Director Burlingh~n stated that he met with Mr. EoF.Fischer re~arding the maps
and lines showing the location of fire hydrants in the Valley. Mr. Fischer
mentioned to Mro Burlingha~ that Tahoe Keys is the only area tha%does have
adequate hydrants for fire protection. As far as increases in size of pipes
and location of same~ the Brown & Caldwell Study covers this very well and if
the District would want to go into such - the Brown& Caldwell Study would
be a good starting point. Mr. Fischer had also stated that he will provide
a copy of the Underwriters Report to anyone ~ho would like one.
Director Burlingham also stated that until the Private Utilities present a
UNITED FRONT and ask for something that viii help them, there is very little
the District can do to help withWaterS~pply.
Attorney Holtom recon~ended that Resolution No. 315, which is in regards to
the problem Mrs. R.Ho Kuhl presented at the July 6, 1961, meeting - be adopted.

of the Tahoe Meadows area in the District and the disposition of pendin~
matters between the District and Tahoe Meadows~ including the' pending

any time.
3. The charges in connection with the assessment district shall
be allocated among the Tahoe Meadows property owners using lots as laid out on
the map of Lakeshore Manor as the units, except as it may be mutually agreed

be filled a~ad replaced and the ground levelled and tamped. Metually agree-
able provisions fOr the restoration of all roads involved in the work shall be

Dear Win:
The work under this contract has been essentially completed by
the contractor. Except for installing the new pedestals for the
sewage pumps a nd replacing the ~efective water seal pumps, the
stations ~re. ready for final inspections and acceptance. Work on
the a0ove items is in procuress ~t this time and it is anticip~te~
that completion will ~e in a few days.
Since the c~mpletion is far past the contract t~me allowed, the
qucstion of d~mage to be assessed should be considered by the Board and

The above tauulations s~.ow the pertinent facts relating to construction
under this contract. The Board of Directors on ~.~rch 16, 1961, decided
that no further time extensions to the contract would be granted. There-
fore, the contractor has been in default since date. The General Condi-
tLons ~f the Contract (Paragraph 10-09) provide that if the Contractor
does not perform within the time allotted the Contractor will pay to
the District the sum of two hundred ($200.00) ~r day for each working
day delay beyond the time prescribed.
On the basis of the contract dates previously set forth it would
appear that damages could be assessed up to July 15, 1961. However, the
problem of the defective pumps was noted prior to this date and since
this is ~eyond the Contractor's control, it is Oelieved that some
consideration should be made on this 'behalf. Therefore, it is recommended
that the Board consider damages only to June 15, 1961, which was the
date when the stations were fully oper~01e an~ essentially complete.
This is a period of 65 workin~ days and would result in damages of ~13,000.
If these damages are assessed the remainin6 amoun% due would ~e de-
creased to ~16,714.93.
There restrains some minor items of work to ~e done, two of which
are e~tra work beyond the contract. In order to complete the work it
is recommended that the ~istrict have the wor~ done aha deduct the
costs the.eof from any payment reu~ining under the contract. Very truly yours,
CLaiR ~.HiLL ~ ~OCI~T~S

"PIT CON PILOT PLANT (II.Moyer)"" ,, ,, ,,
"In view of recent develoI~nents surrounding S.T.P.U.D. and because the complete answers to
the problems incurred by these develolmnents~ I make the following suggestions to this
ttonorable Board:
1. That an overall look be given to the recent program regarding annexations. Will
whatever action you take have a bearing on the thinking of the Water Pollution Control
Board when we are called before them to show cause w~ywe should not be issued a "Cease and
Desist Order"?
2o That negotiations with Nevada District be given full deliberation with possible
consideration as to whatever capital expenditure we might have to make~ that they bond
their District for 509 of that amount.
3. That if Nevada District does not obligate itself for the 50~ we must~ therefore~
consider the question of whether to put before the people of this District~ the proposition
of a One l,fillion Dollar ($1,000~000.00) bond issue for land acquisition for spray ~isposal.
0r~ as an alternate~ a Two ~{illion Dollars (82~000~000.00) bond issue for out-of-the-
basin disposal. This subject should be given a priority as this area cannot afford to be
stalemated by a disposal problem."
NeW BUSINESS: l,{r. Priday read a letter from the Water Pollution Control Board and Director
Burlingham stated that he would like to clarify the word "SE~¥AGE" which was referred to in
this letter. Director Burlingham stated that it was not sewage which overflowed as stated
in this letter.
~ir. ttarlan Moyer stated that the flow was not sewage but a material which meets all
public health standards. The effluent discharged from here is completely sanitary
and in no way damages public health. Also~ ~ir. ~foyer s~ated the Lake is not polluted
and cannot be polluted insofar as public health and safety is concerned. This area is
being advertised as the area being polluted and is due largely to newspapers mininforma-
tion.
President Souza suggested that a letter be written to the Water Pollution Control Board
statin~ what we have flonnd out and what we know~ what we will do~ and if there is any-
thing to be corrected before the scheduled meeting, to advise us so we can be a~re of
such. ~ffe ~ant them to know that we ~ish to cooperate ~ith them~ Mr. Souza s~ated.
Director Burlingham moved that our Attorney make a reply to this letter indicating that
the sewage is not the thing which is in question. President Souza seconded.
Director Clarke amended the motion that the letter writing be turned over to the Attorney~
Engineer~ and General l,~nager and phrase it in the manner in which },ir. Souza suggested.
President Souza seconded and the vote carried unanimously.
~GENCY PURC~E (S?IL~ SYSTI~f),,- $20~000.00 - : General ~ianager Priday recommended that
emergency purchase of approximately ninty-five (9'5) sprinklers to the spray system be
granted. The figure of $20~000.00 ~ill include the materials~ installation~ and labor
needed to install the additional sprinklers.
~r. ~oyer stated tlmt this should be in operation within one week after the materials
arrive.
Director Imbach moved that $20~000.00 be expended to purchase the additional materials
for the spray system. Director Burlingham seconded and vote carried unanimously.
EXTE~SION OF TI~E -~kSSESS~IENT DISTRICT 1960-1: General Manager Priday recommended that

Contractor being charged for the cost of engineering from July 2$th to the date of
compl eti on.
President Souza moved that the Extension of time (10/15/61) be granted to George E.
~{iller with no cost to the District~ Director Burlingham seconded and the vote was
unanimously carried.
C~L~GE 0RDEI~S: General ~nager Priday reco~nended that Chan~,e Order No. 5~ 1961-,1~
Joe D. Miller be approved. This is to remove existing rodhole and extend line 102 feet

to accept Change Order No. 5 be granted for the three (8) day extension. Director Bur-
lingham seconded and the vote was carried unanimously. (Ch~nMe Orders 80 and 31 - to be
presented at a later date).

present were General ~,~nager Priday~ Clerk of Board Mallery~ Attorney Weidman~ ttarlan
Monet/ - Clari Ilill & Associates~ Donald Richardson - Sacramento Bee.
PURPOSE OF ~PING: - Report on the Pit-Con Process
Mr. ttarlan Moyer stated that within one week the first operation should be ready to start.
One pump has not arrived and some welding is to be done. By the middle of next week the
first test runs will be ready. As to how successful this operation will be can be determin-
ed within a thirty (30) day period~ Mr. Moyer stated. Within sixty days a report will be
ready from the first and second stages and what results will be; also~ what the most
economical process will be.
Mr. Moyer also stated that money for expansion will be needed by late spring and whether
expansion should be considered on the present basis or on the higher grade of treatment.
Also~ that Clair tHll &Associates will be able to tell the District what costs will be
for expansion of the plant to handle increasing flows.
Director Wakeman stated that "It is our goal to turn out the finest effluent in America".
Also~ that the effluent thatcccmes from our Treatment Plant at the present time meets the
drinking water standards~ water is pure according to Public Health Standards~ and as a
result of the PIT CON PROCESS this ~ter will be even more improved.
~. Imbach stated that he felt a Public Information Agency should be hired to explain our
treatment plant, means~ ways~ etc.~ to the people. They are not aware of what is actually
taking place at the treatment plant~ nor do they understand the function of same~ and for
that reason Mr. Imbach suggested that it would be wise to have someone that can give this
message to the people and make it completely and thoroughly understood - as it now stands~
the people are misinformed in this area as well as in other areas as to what is really
happening here at Lake Tahoe.
Another suggestion was made to have Public A~encies come here~ take tests and compare ~heir
tests to any of the water in the State and t~is ~ay we will be giving the people and the
A~encies facts to have and they can adjust their thinking and modify their ideas of water
through their o~n test. We can take samples~ show them~ give them to the Agencies and ask
them to prove otherwise - we can publish our findings~ they publish theirs~ etc.
Director Imbach stated this would be a good time to get this information to the people and
also to give the information regarding the Pit-Con Process to the people step by step.
Mr. It. Moyer stated that when we are sure of our tests, process, etc. - thenwill be the
time to hire Professionals to get this inform&lion over to the people.
~'~. Donald Richardson of the Sacramento Bee stated that the most talkative people presently
are the ones that do not know to much about the Sewage Treatment} the ones that do know
something of the sewage, effluent~ etc.~ are being very dogmatic.
Discussion was held regarding a draft Resolution to be presented to the Board of Directors
by AttorneyWeidman for presentation to the Water Pollution Control Board. Attorney
Weidman s~ggested the October 19, 1961, meeting be adjourned to October 24, 1961, 9:00 A.M.
to accept this Resolution.
FOREST LAND: Mr. Harlan Moyer presented maps to General ~'~anager Priday and Attorn%v Weidman

Pb%~POSE OF ~..~ETING: The meeting ~was held for discussion of the presentation whibh will
be presented to the Water Pollution Control Board at 9~00 A,M.~ October 24~ 1961~ at the
Tahoe ValleyFire iIouse~ by Attorney Weidman,
This presentation contained statements made by Attorney Weidman~ Mr, Harlan Moyer~
Engineer for Clair Hill & Associates~ and Mr, Frank C. Souza~ President of the Board
of Directors for the South Tahoe Public Utility District.
Attorney Weidman reco~nended that the Board of Directors approve President Souza~s
statement which he will make to the Water Pollution Control Board, l~mident Souza's
statement is as follows:
"TESTD~i0NY OF FRANK C, SOUZA~ PRESIDENT OF THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS~ SOUTIt TAHOE PLrB%IC UTILITY DISTRICT
h.~. Chairman and members of the Lahontan Water Pollution Control Board.:
As President of the Board of Directors of South Tahoe Public Utility District~
I would ~ike to present a statement approved this morning,fy the Directors at their
adjourned regular meeting.
The treatment of sewage in the manner~ now performed by the South Tahoe Public
Utility District is a vital and necessary factor in the economy of the South Tahoe area.
Recognizing this fact~ South Tahoe Public Utility District~ in order to prevent
pollution~ contamination and nuisance sine 1959 has spent the following sums of money:
New sewage treatment plant $ 1~575~000
Pump stations~ force mains~
trunk sewers~ holding ponds
and additional disposal
facilities 418~000
Sewage collection line systems~
in excess of 4~275.000
Total expenditures since 1959~in excess of.... ...... $ 6~268~000
The result of this sewage treatment and collection system is a high quality of
effluent for disposal.
The one release of this highly treated effluent was of a short duration~ under
emergency circumstances and was a matter which all concerned with our District tried
to avoid. This one release of effluent did not contaminate or pollute the waters of
Lake Tahoe or its tributaries. It did not cause a nuisance to the co~nunity.
One inference drawn by the public from the public information was that the
South Tahoe Public Utility District was discharging untreated or improperly
treated sewage directly into Lake Tahoe Waters thereby threatening the purity
and beauty of the Lake. Another inference dra~n by the public from the public in-
formation was that the District was causing a nuisance byway of odor and un-
sightliness in discharging untreated or impropeely treated s~zage directly into
Lake Tahoe waters. Your Board and our Board know that these infdrences are not the
facts.
We must recognize~ the effect upon the economy of the South Tahoe area through
the inferences which have been dra~n by the public about the one recent release of
sewage effluent. There is now a necessity for official bodies conceruedwith this
matter such as your Regional Water Pollution Control Board to publicly declare
that the South Tahoe Public Utility District has not contaminated or polluted the
Lake Tahoe waters or cmused any unreasonable odors or unsightliness to detract from
the surrounding atmosphere,
~at is needed is to avoid pollution of the minds of the people of the South
Tahoe area by public statem~bs which can be misinterpreted from official bodies or
health officials at any governmental level,
In addition there should be a clarification of the record that the South Tahoe
Public Utility District since the operation of its new ~reatment plant and collection
system has not contaminated or polluted the Lake Tahoe waters or caused any nuisance
~ odors or unsightliness$ The public should for the record be aware of the efforts our
District is making to prevent any pollution of the area in the foreseeable fut~e.
Our Board~ the ~nagement and its professionalconsultants have taken ever~/ step
possible in the past and will take every step necessary in the fut~e within the
limits of our District to prevent any reoccurrence of this type of a release and
to find a safe~ practical solution for the permanent disposal of our effluent."
~[r. Clair Hill of Clair Hill & Associates stated to the Directors that the quality
of effluent here is much better to what can be put in any steams that he Imows of
in the State of California and he fl~ther s~e, ted thatT.he could not see how anyone
could consider this one release pollution. He stated this effluent is better than
any he has ever seen,

Attorney John Wei~an stated that before his presentation he would like to state that the
list of sewage failures excepting one are failures that happened before the new Se~age
Treatment Plant ~s constructed. He also stated that the ~?CB should not consider the
past failures as many thousands of dollars have been spent to correct this.
~. J. Leggett stated that he was aware that the list referred to the past faihwes but
he was %~ing to state to his Board Members t~at this problem could come up again.
Mr. J. Weigh stated that the Board of the South Tahoe ~blic Utility District agrees and
~11 stipulate that this one release has been the only overflow of highly treated effluent
from the treatment plant or disposal area since the operation of the new Sewage Treatment
Plant - November 29~ 1960. Also~ that the tests taken and presented to the ~CB showed
no proof of cont~ination or pollution and that this one release did not create a public
heil th hazard.
~{r. H, Moyer~ engineer for Clair Hill & Associates~ employed by the South Tahoe Public
Utility District stated his qualifications and educational background,
Mr. Moyer also stated that the District comprises a land area within the Lake Valley of
approximately 5~000 acres, Also~ the District at the present time has approximately 850
total connections to its systems. Mr. Moyer also explained the treatment facilities~
final disposal~ capacity of the holding pond~ and acquisition of possible future land
disposal sites~ expansion of the treatment facilities.
~{r. R. Culp of Cornell~ Howell~ Hayes and Merryfield of Corvallis~ 0regon~ stated that the
one release discussed did not contaminate~ pollute or cause a nuisance to the Lake Tahoe
area~ from results of tests taken. Also~ ~{r. Culp stated that water of this type in other
parts of the State is discharged both to land and to streams without damage.
Mr. Clair Itill of Clair Hill & Associates stated briefly his qualifications and
educational back~round and also stated that for the past fifteen years a large part
of the work of his Company has been in water supply and sanitary engineering. Mr.
Hill further stated that he has spent nine years as a member and later chairman of
the California Water Con~nission and its predecessor~ the State Water Resources Board.
He further stated that it was his privilege to hold hearings throughout the state and
many other special studies that were conducted under the supervision and general
direction of the Water Resources Board.
Mr. Hill stated that the effluent from the Sewage Treatment Plant is of the highest
quality discharged from any plant that he is familiar with and he stated that includes
a good many.
Also~ that the Sewage Treatment Plant is a very complete plant and the effluent is of
a very high quality and compares very favorahly with the Criteria in Bulletin~'No.3
of the Department of Water Resources; also~ that their Company's concern and
the Districtts concern has been and is the final disposal of the effluent; that the
economy of California and the Tahoe Basin is based~ among other things~ on growth and g
growth means problems~ and he further stated that no one can deny that the South
Tahoe Public Utility District has not made tremendous progress in its work~ and in
the disposal of its sewage effluent ~ has found an interim solution.
Mr. Ilill also stated that he could not see what good a "Cease and Desist" order can
accomplish and it can do tremendous damage and delay progress.
Mr. J. Weidman stated that the District feels their testimony shows that there has
been no contamination~ pollution~ or nuisance which created a public health hazard~
and the District feels no cause exists for the "Cease and Desist" order against the
South Tahoe l~tblic Utility District.
~. Herbet Foster~ Bureau of Sanitary Engineers~ State Health Department stated that
if their department thought that there was a contamination as indicated in the ~ater
Pollution Control Law~ they would surely have taken some action and would have a great
concern over this problem; however~ Mr. Foster stated that on September 17th he
visited the South Tahoe Public Utility District and found sewage leaving the area of
disposal and flowing into the road side ditch and he stated that no sewage was to
leave forest service land~ get into ditches~ etc.; he further mentioned that the
District is looking for land~ action should be helpful to the District - contact
various Agencies~ present their case and all departments and agencies can help the
District in obtaining land~ etc.
Mr. Foster was asked by the WPCB if he had written letters~ notified theBoa rd
as to the se~zage found at the roadside ditch. Mr. Foster replied that he did
not write a letter or notify the Board hut] he did contact the operator and told
him that sewage was overflowing and asked him to watch it. Mr. Foster said the
sewage was flowing below Johnson Ditch along the road.
Mr* W.F. Priday~ General Manager of the South Tahoe Public Utility District stated the
area which Mr. Foster spoke of is a drainage area and that it was not overflow but
over-saturation~ which is a great difference; furthermore~ that particular ditch
is still forest land.
NEVADA: The Board of Directors asked regarding the Nevada Contract - ~. W.F. Priday
stated that until the District can obtain land there will not be a mew agreement with
Nevada and the present one is being used - - Nevada is up to date on their financial
payments~ and Nevada will also help finance for additional land.
Mr. H. Moyer stated that since land disposal of effluent is the only answer and
method to be used in the Valley~ additional land must be acquired and to do this~
necsssary funds are needed.
One of the WPCB members stated the District has been in violation of the Boards re-
quirements and that the meeting today was to discuss this. lie stated that positive
action should be taken in handling this situation and that he would like to see the
South Tahoe Public Utility District~ through its Board~ present to our Board (~PCB)
written proposals as to what is going to be done in a specified time so the WPCB
can have some follow-through.
President Souza stated that there is definitely much thought given to this problem
and the Board of Directors for the South Tahoe Public Utility District is doing
everything possible to keep such an occurrance from happening again. Whatever the
~PCB asks for ~. Souza stated that the District will see they get and they will
also be advised as to what the procedure of the South Tahoe tk~blic Utility District
Board will bey construction~ etc.
~. Arthur L. Trumbull~a resident of the Lake Tahoe Area~ stated that he feels the
South Tahoe Public Utility District is making great progress and that all should
belp the District. The Plant is growing and there has been but one violation the
past two years and if the ~PCB stops this plant from growing they will hurt this area;
they are proving to the Board that they are making improvements and progress and if
anyone or anything stops the district~-everything can go wrong.
Mr. Dick Armstrong~ member of the ~PCB, stated that he feels out of the fifteen (15
offenses listed and in the past two and one-half years one violation (which was a
man=made emergency release) appeared - and that the South Tahoe Public Utility District
has shown in good faith that this was an emergency release~ he feels that the South
Tahoe Public Utility District has certainly improved the area by not having problems
in this length of time· '
Mr. J. Leggett stated that the ~PCB does not want sewage in the Lake~ and that he wanted
his Board to Imow that he has received great cooperation from the South Tahoe Public
Utility District in the past.
Mr. J. Leggett mentioned that the Lake can be polluted with distilled water and }.{r. Perry
~%roodcock stated that he was certainly happy to hear Mr. Leggett's statement and that
he was sorry more people could not have heard same as there has been a misunderstanding
regarding the definition of the word 'pollution'; the people of tile area and elsewhere
do not consider the pollution as a very highly treated water and the original publicity
on this matter gave the impression that Lake Tahoe was polluted with sewage· Mt.Woodcock
stated that he thinks the people of California that enjoy Lake Tahoe should be aware that
the Lake was not and is not polluted with sewage.
Mr. W.B. Schreeder~ Sanitary Engineer~ l~blic ltealth Service~ stated that the information
they have to date on Lake Tahoe is that the Lake is not polluted; furthermore~ he feels
that the ~PCB would have difficulty proving that this last release~ as defined by the
California Code~ polluted Lake Tahoe or a portion of Lake Tahoe. He further stated that
no studies have been made of this Area~ and if it continues to grow~ The South Tahoe Public
Utility District will be faced with the problem of what to do with the treated effluent -
and his Department would have no suggestions for the South Tahoe Public Utility District·
Mr. Donald Clarke~ Director for the South Tahoe Public Utility District~ stated that
great caution should be given to the terminology used - the Resolution of the WPCB did
not state pollution ef Lake Tahoe~ the South Tahoe Public Utility District did not say
that it did; the ~PCB members did not say so; however~ the minute the news hits the
press and the wires~ Mr. Clarke stated that the impression is that Lake Tahoe is polluted -
and noted for having raw sewage. Mr. Clarke further stated that all in this area are very
much interested in the area and its growth~ the Board of Directors are all property
owners and we are spending much time~ costly time~ on this problem. We should all
definitely thin[( twice as to the terminology we use; it can be harmful rather than
beneficial to th~s area~ Mr. Clarke stated.
Mr. Jack Winkler stated to the ~rPCB that he would like proof of the kBS findings.
A member of the ~PCB stated that because the Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility
District have shown extremely good faith and have interest in improving the District~
he felt that in the event of a reoccurrance of th~s same problem~ definite action should
then be taken.
lfr. Frank Souza thanked the Vlater Pollution Control Board for the hearing and stated that
the South Tahoe l%~blic, Utility District is aware of the problems discussed and the in-
formation which the Water Pollution Control Board requested will be presented by
Harlan lfoyer by December 31~ 1961
