Ownership (Private and Public) 4. Financial Feasibility Aspects 5. Historical Records - - Reports 6. Insurance Rates Attorney Weidman stated that in the early stages we might have been concerned about ex- porting water but now the problem is for distribution and use of reclaimed water of highly treated water that we will use from this Plant. We want to purify this water and make it useable. President Souza stated that the Board of Supervisors, County Water Agency and Bureau of Reclamation were here today to have us acquaint them with our problems and ask them for advise, how~we can better improve the water sources, etc. President Souza turned the meeting over to the Water Conrflittee Chairman - Robert Wakeman.

Ed Fischer presented a map and pointed out the water line layout and Mr. Fischer stated that by measuring the buildings, types of construction, etc., they reach the water needs.

IEE I G) , an, V lOO ii 4 ? INSI. rP,.A.~C~: Mr. Chuck Gibson spoke of insurance rates as related to water and stated ghat the Insurance Rates are high because if a large fire were to come - it must be able to be controlled and if it cannot be controlled than we are strictly working and talking in re- gards to Life Insurance. The one deficiency here is water Mr. Gibson stated. As far as the Fire Department i,s concerned~ their facilities and abilities are more than satisfactory and more than meet the requirements of the InsuranceRates if we had more water - and the question of water depends on the distribution system and the administration of the water system that is here. Mr. Gibson stated that the main thing is to have a large supply of water that can be delivered by gravity. ~[r. Deane Seegar spoke of the importance of standards for water system construction and that he felt sewage~ fire protection and water supply is a municipal function~ we have not paid clse attention to the water supply and have been working with sewage and sewage disposal and must realize how closely associated these problems are and the matter of standards as far as water systems is concerned is very important. Predictions as to the growth of the area are on the conservative side. However~ ~ir. Seegar stated this co, unity approach is certainly a step in the right direction. Chairman Wakeman stated that the South Tahoe Public Utility District does not plan to go into the water business but has made a study and on the 1st of April the Water Committee will make a recommendation to the South Tahoe Public Utility District as to what they should do regarding water in the Lake Valley. Mr. Bill Charlton spoke of the Forest Service needs and program for water conservation. Mr. Charlton stated that around October of each year he would go into town and hear the remarks such as "with all that rain - you don~t have a thing to do" - - but there is Much to do and stated to the audience that the people should be looking "down our necks" all the time and find out just what the Forest Service does do because what they do has much to do with the type and amount of water the area gets. The consumptive use is very small - very few campers~ water is put into the streams for fishing~ dams have been built to control the water so the water can be released during the late season to be used for fishing~ Errosion control is the main problem~ the Forest Service has been working with the operators of the Ski Areas to prevent errosions~ errosion control is presently taking place at Fountain Place - - - errosion is a constant job. Most of the fires are where water is not available. The Forest Service job is to see that there is a good sufficiency of clear water in this area EL DORADO ~fATER COUNTY - - Mr. Ed Smith: Mr. Ed Smith stated that he has a great~ i, nterest and a great faith in the people of the area and stated that his Committee (El Dorado Water Committee) were glad'to have the problems brought to them. He further stated that he is interested in this area because it is the area which he participated in the administration of so many years ago. He presented a map and pointed out the six (6) different areas of the County and stated that there were 46 that use Forest Lands and'~52 elsewhere -making a total of 98 entities having permits to sell water. There is no study that can be made that can tell one everything and the basic thing is where are we going to get the water? For six" (6) years the Agency has been telling all there is a water shortage here. Cooperation is the main thing now to get water and that the Inter-State Compact Commission has been in existence for ten (10) years means nothing because they have not done one thing go help. MR. I.IAlqlr/ IJUNIdLP~ SECRETARY OF TI~E WATER COt~[flTTEE: Mr. Dunlap stated that studies ~re ~r,: of different areas and the Lake Valley Area definitely proved to be a water deficient area. Mr. Dunlap also stated that they are i~terested as to what is happening here and £f the Committee can be of any assistance to us they would surely like to help. Mr. Dunlap stated that a study of the area can be made and the County must contribute 50~ of the cost for this study and the Bureau of Reclamation another 50~. The study will be for E1 Dorado County~ Lake Area~ only ..... Nevada and Placer Counties were given the opportunity and they chose not to have this study at this time. The study cannot overlook any source of water. Mr. Dunlap was asked if he felt there was a water supply available and he stated yes ~ water could be and must be developed because of the growth of the;:mreao Director Vaughn Burlingham stated that the amter the South Tahoe l~blic Utility District iS now working on will beveryvaluable to us and Mr. Harlan Moyer stated that the Utility District is in the water business and they are also.in the waste water business and the product that comes into this plant is 99.9/10~water. ~. George Baron of the lIeyers Water Company stated that he was interested in the Water Committee and the Exchange of waters~ etc.~ because more water will have to be had. Mr. Baron stated that he regretted to report he was not able to accomplish what he had hoped to and did make appointments to meet with the other Water Companies but only one attended and others had other business. Mr. Don Strand -Angora Water Company - stated that they have installed a storage tank at the '~". Mr. E. Meixner stated that the Lakeside Park Association has put in another well and they are getting adequate water supply. 1 ,fm:rm (am. January 24, 1962 Mr. William Dunkhorst (Tahoe Southside Water Co.) stated that they have no problems and in case of a power failure - they will still have water. Also, they have installed a tank at Montgomery Estates and because it was not thick enough - they have not accepted it and"are installing another about 1/4" thick. They are also making negotiations to work out a 14-18" line to the Highway and through Pioneer Trail and stated thati:he does not feel the water problem~dll be to great in case of any emergency· ~. E. Marsden stated that we are interested in the Western area of the County and further stated that he would rather have:the ;~estern end of E1 Dorado County get the reclaimed water (Grass Lake) than to have Placer County get it and they are working quite bard to get it. We should take steps to retain this water ourselves· General ~nager Priday stated that he felt it was his responsibility to keep up to date on any new inovations that come up, and present to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors have always been very cooperative and interested and have worked willingly on any and all problems brought before them. Also, Mr. Priday invited the Bureau of Reclamation to use our facilities :for their work should they so desire· (WATER SURVEYWlLL START JULY 1, 1962, AND WILL BE C0~fl~rEDDURiNG THE FISCAL YEAR 1963-1964).

Director Imbach moved~ seconded by Director Clarke and unanimously carried, that RESOLUTION NO. 361 be approved. PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE: Mr. Donald Clarke read his statement whihh is in regards to a letter received by the Board of Directors and also which was published in the paper re= garding rescinding of Ordinance No. 65. Ordinance No. 65 is modeled after Ordinances~proved by the League of California Cities and, in essence, is the same type as is in general use throughout the State. Mr. Clarke further stated - "In any event, while this Board now approves the establishment of new positions, it does not interfere in the hiring and dismissal of employees, nor should it, in my opinion. In the interest and sound administration; compliance with the Public Utilities Code; and the prevention of a re~nrn to the "Spoils System" in employee relations, the Ordinance should not be rescinded by the Board". Mr. William Johnson stated that the reason the Taxpayer's Association objected to this Ordinance is not to be taken personal. Mr Johnson further stated that General Manager Priday has done a good job and he also feels that Mr. Pere Woodcock is an excellent Public Relations man - - but the Taxpayer's do object to the District spending money - he further stated that approval of hiring, etc., should be so stated in the minutes so the Taxpayer's can be aware of this and they can take recourse; this job pays $600.00 per month and the Taxpayer's should have a recourse as to the money the District spends. President Souza stated that when the Manager was hired - he was told that he would have the responsibility and authority to hire - and if the Manager does not do the ~ob which is satisfactory to the people of the area - andthe Directors, he will be dismissed. Mr. Souza further stated that, in the future, if there is a misunderstanding regarding hiring~ etc., - the District~ Directors and the Management would appreciate the individual or ~ individual's to ask the Directors or the Management for a full explanation and this way they will receive a complete answer and there will be no misund~rstandings~ Mr. William Johnson also stated that when the Study Sessions were started mention was made that these sessions would be held for a short time only; however, they are still in session. President Souza stated that the Study Sessions are still in session because of the in- creased flows and the plans for increasing expansion of the Sewage Treatment Plant. Mr. Souza further stated that the Study Session are necessary at the present time but when they do not serve a purpose, then Mr. Souza stated to Mr. Johnson that the could understand his feelings of the extra meetings. Regarding hiring of a Public Relations man - Director Clarke read the following from the minutes of October 11, 1961: "Mr. 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 other areas as to what. is really happening here at Lake Tahoe." BOND ELECTION: Attorney Holtom stated that if it is desired to consolidate the Bond Election with the Primary Election of June 5, 1961, from a time standpoint, under the election code we can consolidate and such should be requested at this meeting this evedng and the RESOLUTION be prepared for presentation to the Board for the amount of money to be involved for the Bond Issue. General Manager ~prida~ stated that all the information regarding the Bond Issue will be at the District within four (4) days. Director Imbach moved~ seconded by Director Clarke, and unanimously carried, that RESOLUTION NO. 362 , A RESOLUTION NECESSARY REQUESTING THAT THE PLANS AND ESTIMATES BE PREPARED FOR THE BOND ISSUE, be approved by title. Director Clarke moved that the Bond Election and the District Election be consolidated on May 1~. 1962. There was no second and motion was lost. Following discussion of lthe election date~ land opinions stated, reasons, etc. Director Clarke again moved that the Bond Election and the District Election be consolidated on May 1~ 19~2.. Dir~cto~,Wakeman s~¢on~d~andb~h~dyote was un~n~m~slv-~rr~(the reason- in hold-~ t~e e~ecuion ~or nne open sp us une a ,at the sa~ ~T~, ~r~ ~T1 ~e a g~t~ number oz voters turn out at the p$1es,which will result in those having a larger vote fo~g'eing elected. nMARCH 15, i96~ R~ULAR M~T%N~ d reason number two ~ the District will save mone~ Director Clarke stated. ~AT~R COMM~TT~ Director Wakeman stated that the Water Committee will meet on March ~30 1962, at 7:00 A.M., at the Tahoe Sands MOtel. Director Wakeman further stated that at this time - the Water Committee will make a recommendation to the Board ~f the South LTahoe Public Utility District as to what the Public Utility District should do as relates to the water problem in Lake Valley for both domestic land fire protection. NEVADA AGREEMENT: Attorney Weidman stated that he has not received word regarding the Nevada Agreement, nor has the balance of the ~ird quarter due us from Nevada been received. Director Clarke stated that, even though the Nevada District is working under a handicap - - with their Attorney being ill, Nevada should have advised the g~uth Tahoe Public Utility District as to what the Public Utility District should expect regarding Nevada's decisions, etc. This agreement is a very important factor and Mr. Clarke further stated that Nevada has a very poor method of doing business. President S ouza stated that he talked with one of the Directors of the Nevada District and the Nevada Director was not aware of our letter which was sent - and the Nevada Director stated that he was sincere and asked if we would reconsider the answer due from our letter and that he would do everything to cooperate with our District ~ - Mr. John Laxalt, Attorney for the Nevada District, is presently in the hospital, · ......... ~ General Manager Priday stated that it appears the Nevada District is aware of what is happening only from the newspapers; they have made many promises; they must come to some conclusion, especially when we are going into a Bond Issue Phase; if they wish to buy in - I suggest they add to and not buy our facilities. If they wish to use our facilities, they have the right to do so, but theym must add to - not buy in. Furthermore, Mr.Priday stated, that if Nevada wishes to add to we must have the money in our hands before ex- pansion of the Plant takes place. Director Wakeman stated that the facilities of the South Tahoe Public Utility D~strict are not for sale and if anything should be for sale it would be surplus capacity and that is all. Director Imbach stated that he does not feel the California Taxpayer s should let Nevada come into and use our facilities until we have the money needed, they must put up their money first and they will then get their share if it is available. President Souza instructed General Manager Priday to contact Mr. Ledbetter and the Board of Directors of Nevada by registered letterland to also advise Mr. Ledbetter that we are having another meeting March 22, 1962, at 8:00 P.M. at the Sewage Treatment Plant; also, to state that the South Tahoe Public Utility District must have all money from Nevada beforeconstructlon starts, if they are to be considered.

NEVADA CONTRACT: Attorney John Laxalt, Attorney M. Manoukian, John Harrah, William Ledbetter were present at this meeting to discuss the Nevada Contract with the Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility District. Attorney John Laxalt stated that Nevada has had financial difficulties because of one client - Mr. O. Kahle, who owes the Nevada District a sum of $22,000.00 and the Nevada District has not been successful in obtaining this money from Mr. Kahle. Attorney Laxalt stated that they are ready to present the balance due California this evening and presented a check in the amount of $12,275.00 to President Souza who in turn turned this over to the Office Manager - Mr. N. R. Mallery. Attorney Laxalt stated that Mr. Pridayl s letter of March 16, 1962, was received and would like to discuss same with the Board of Directors. The first item which Mr. Laxalt presented was that the South Tahoe Public Utility District stated they did not hear from Douglas County Improvement District No. 1 re- garding their requests and or requirements by February 15, 1962. Mr. ~lmer D Angelo, ~ngineer for ~ouglas County %mprovement District No. 1, stated that he was asked by the Nevada Board (~anuary 1 5, 1962) to prepare a report as to what ~evada would require within the next twenty years. This report was completed on January 299,1962, and the Nevada Board met on February 1, 1962, and asked Mr. D~Angelo to present the report to the South Tahoe Public Utility District. Mr. D Angelo stated that he sent the report to Mr, Harlan Moyer and a copy was sent to Mr. Priday on February 2, 1962. Mr. D Angelo stated that he received a letter of February 28, 1962, from Mr. H. Moyer stating that he too estimated in his report approximately one million gallons per day for Nevada. Mr. D Angelo further stated that the Nevada Board was awaiting further word from the South Tahoe Public Utility District regarding co~t information to decide a cost figure for their Bond Issue. Director Imbach stated that he did not consider this report which Mr. iD Angelo is talking about a formal request to this District. Attorney Wiedman stated that we requested a formal letter to this Board from Nevada. Mr. H. Moyer stated that there appears to be some discrepancy. First, Mr. Moyer stated that this report was not considered by him to be a forma~!request to the South Tahoe Public Utility District. The report was sent to him personally~ c'o Clair Hill & Associates; Mr. Moyer further stated that there was to be a formal request from the Nevada District to the California District and his instructions were that we do not proceed with any information until a formal request from Nevada is received and upon receipt of this request - the Board of Directors for the South T~hoe Public Utility District would approve or disapprove same and this information would be transmitted to Nevada. This report that Mr. D Angelo sent to Mr. Moyer was treated strictly as a report from one Engineer to another, Mr. Moyer stated; also, that he cannot act on anything ~ only lmake recommendations to the South Tahoe Public Utility District. Mr. Moyer also stated that he had~ personally, at no time any indication from anyone that the Nevada Board had accepted any of the recommendations that the California District had made to them. Mr. D Angelo stated that he and his Board considered his report a formal request and assumed that Mr. Moyer had sent copies of all letters from him to the California District. Mr. D Angelo further stated that there is definitely some minunderstanding and that the California Board is not and has not been aware of the negotiations that have been outlined so far. Mr. Moyer stated he is not in a position to make decisions of any kind - ~t is 1 strictly up to the Board of Directors - he further stated that he can give re- commendations but in no way has the authority to correspond directly with anyone. President Souza stated that we are not fighting a decision or an agreement but that we are trying to reach one. Director Imbach stated that all future contacts with Nevada should be made strictly through the mail. Mr. W. Ledbetter stated that in the future all contacts, information, etac.~ will be handled throught the mail and that the past experience has been a very unfortunate misunderstanding. General Manager Priday stated that Public Entities must act with Resolutions. Also, Mr. Priday stated that Nevada has always been behind in their payments to this District - and this is the first time they have been up to date - even though this payment was received late, it does bring Nevada up to date. Mr. Priday further asked - what assurance does this District have that the payments in the future will be on time? Mr, J. Laxalt replied that the Nevada District needs sewage disposal and that the good faith of the individual-s responsible are assurance that the payments will be made on time. Mr. Priday stated that he would go so far as to reconnnend to the South Tahoe Public Utility Board of Directors that Nevada be given no additional capacity unless they can assure this District that all payments will be made on time. Mr. Ho Moyer will have the cost information prepared by the first meeting in April, 1962, to present to the South Tahoe Public Utility District Board of Directors and after approval will be sent to Nevada District. Mr. W. Ledbetter stated that the amended agreement which was sent to the Nevada District was agreeable to the Directors of Nevada with the one exception and that is the credit that Nevada feels is due them regarding the State Highway Line. Nevada feels they are entitled to the credit and their Board will write to the South Tahoe Public Utility District stating their reasons as to why credit should be given them and they will await a reply from the California District. Mr. Ledbetter s reply to Mr. Burlingham s question (C~n we expect payment on time?) was that in the future~ the Nevada Dist. will pay the C~lif. Dist. on time as it is not their intent to be in arrears; steps will be taken to see that Calif. will get their payments on time. President Souza stated that when construction starts on the Bijou Trunk tine - ~ ~{ ~ we must have the money from our side as well as the Nevada side (if they so desire to come in) before construction actually starts. President Souza thanked the Nevada District for being present at this meeting and helping to clarify the past misunderstanding between the two Districts. Mr. W. Ledbetter thanked the Board for extending their invitation to Nevada so that the two Boards could get together and he also stated that the past two years have proved that both Boards have a good working relationship and that both have come a long way in solving problems and reaching agreements and the Nevada Board is very sorry that these misunderstandings have caused unpleasant correspondence between the two Boards. Mr. Ledbetter stated that he did not think the correspondence was necessary and this meeting this evening clarified most everything. Also, a large percentage of the employees that are hired by the Stateline Clubs reside in California and utilize the facilities of the California District. Mr. Ledbetter stated that he could not see why we cannot solve any problem we are faced ~ith. BOND ISSUE: Mr. Harlan Moyer, Engineer, stated that predicted sewage flows, based on the existing sewered area and connected properties, show that additional treatment capacity will soon be needed. Also, the existing effluent disposal facilities are inadequate and require immediate expansion. Mr. Moyer stated that the District should undertake further investigation of ground water disposal by deep well injection; the District should continue with land disposal for the interim; additional land sites must be acquired; initial acquisition should include the 120 acres on which the existing holding pond and irrigation system is located. In addition there should be not less than 200 acres of additional suitable land acquired. Mr. Moyer also stated that the following facilities for disposal, treatment and collection of sewage should be constructed within the near future: =1. Disposal: Additional disposal facilities will consist, of a pumping station and force main from the holding pond to the new disposal site. 2. Treatment: Present treatment should be expanded to twice its present capacity. 3. Collection: A new force main constructed from the Bijou Pumping Station to the treatment plant. Mr. Moyer stated the above recommendations will benefit the entire District and as such most logically would lbe financed by a general obligation Bond Issue. The total project cost, including indirect costs, amounts to $2,590,000.00; however, actual bond sales should be made only in increments necessary to pay for the proposed construction based on more detailed design information. The initial increments will logically fall in three stages as shown hereafter: 1. Land acquisition, effluent disposal and force mains 1,290,000 2. Conventional Treatment Facilities 750,000 3. Additional Treatment and Deep Well Disposal FaCILe. ties 550,000 Thesa :~o~:,2 amounts are subject to some modification depending upon the actual order of construction undertaken. Attorney Holtom recommended that if the Bond Issue is passed - that this be over a 30 year period and this will not put to much of a burden on the people. Also, the cost that would result on the total bond issue is approximately .37¢ per $100.00 if the Bonds are sold immediately. Mr. Holtom stated that he will prepare a report to show the exact impact at the first meeting in April as to what is being paid on the present bond issue and what will be paid on this one being discussed. If Nevada desires to use our facilities they must pay for same. Attorney Holtom recommended the following resolutions be approved: 1. RESOLUTION NO. 364: A resolution determining existing utilities for sewage disposa completed. South Tahoe Public Utility District, Sewer Project. 2. RESOLUTION NO. 365: A resolutimn directing preparation of plans and estimates - South Tahoe Public Utility District, Sewer Project. Director Imbach moved, seconded by Director Burlingham, unanimously carried that above Reeohtions be approved. 3. RESOLUTION NO. 366: A resolution approving engineer's plans and estimates and determining insufficiency of revenues. South Tahoe Pub. Util. Dist. Sew. PPoject. Director Burlingham moved, seconded by Director Imbach, unanimously carried, RESOLUTION No. 366 be approved. 4. RESOLUTION NO. 367: A Resolution formulating proposition for sewers for the South ~ahoe P blic Utility District for submission to the electors of said District, South Tahoe Public Utility District, Sewer Project. Director Imbach moved, seconded by Director Burlingham, unanimously carried, that RESOLUTION NO. 367 be accepted. Attorney Holtom recommended that ORDINANCE NO. 86, an ordinance calling and providing for a special district election to be held in South Tahoe Public Utility District for the purpose of submitting to the voters of said District the proposition of incurring a bonded indebtedness and providing for the giving of notice thereof, be adopted by title Director Burlingham moved, seconded by Director Imbach, unanimously carried, that Ordinance No. 86 be adopted by title. _AMENDED TAX STaTEmENT: Attorney Holtom stated that he checked regarding tax statements (asse'ss'me~ts) th'at were received late. He stated that this was due to split parcels after sales and these were amended tax statements only. ~DucAT%0N PR0¢RAM: C%T%ZE~$ COMM%TT~Ey Mr. Pere Woodcock stated that there will be a meeting here at the Sewage Treatment Plant, Monday - March 26, 1962, 3:00 P.M. - - The Citizens Committee will meet to study the development of the Sewage Treatment Plant past, present and future, and the proposed Bond Issue with a view to making recommenda- tions in favor of the Bond Issue.

SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT MARCH 31, 1962 The Board of Directors met in a special meeting March 31, 1962 at the Sewage Treatment Plant at 8:00 A.M. ' ROLL CALL: Present were Pres ident Souza, Directors Clarke, Wakeman, Burlingham, and Imbach. Also present were General Manager Priday, Attorney Weidman, Clerk of Board Mallery, Pere Woodcock, Donald Richardson, William Johnson and George Cannon. PURPOSE OF MEETING: Re-evaluate the Bond Issue. President Souza stated that since the Land Acquisition is now $520,000.00 instead of $600,000.00, the bond issue has been reduced by $80,000.00, and the meeting today is to change the RESOLUTION NO. 367 to read $2,510,000.00 instead of the originil figure of $2,590,000.00 by adopting RESOLUTION NO. A lengthy discussion regarding the amount of the bond issue was held and sugges- tions made as to issuing the bond for only one-half of the amount. Director ~ Burlingham stated that this program for the present bond issue will be accomplished in about four (4) phases and it is not wise to go to the people four (4) different times and propose a bond issue. General Manager Priday stated that a dollar figure cannot be put on sanitation. It is our duty to convince the voters that this bond issue is a necessity, and much planning has been done by the Board of Directors and the Engineers. Director Burlingham stated that when the Lahontan Regional Water Pollution Control Board had the meeting in October - - he would like to know just how many dollars were lost to th~ area because of that meeting and the bad publicity the District received. He further stated that the people were so misinformed and that we want people to come here and to forget about sewage - and to come here without a worry in the world. President Souza stated that since he has been on the Board of Directors, the past meetings proved to be such ~here everything had to be passed on an emergency basis. In the event this bond issue does not pass, the Lahontan Regional Water Pollution Control Board will restrict any further developing in this area. The economic development and growth of this area is based on good sewage.and sanitation. Director Clarke stated that if the bond issue fails, we ~ail; if we fail the entire community fails, whether they know it or not. Director Clarke further stated that we have an obligation and we are deeply concerned and also that he would not be on this Board if he were not coneerned; the people of the area should be educated as to this basin; we must think of this from the entire area point of view and feel that as a matter of education of the people, give them the facts that are available and ask them if they wish to stop where they are or do they want to continue to develop. Director Clar~m stated that he feels we have respect as Directors with the aid of the community minded people and the development on the other hand" don't care where the chips fall, I want progress", Mr. Clarke stated. Director Imbach moved that RESOLUTION NO. ~ be approved with the figure of $2,495,000.00 for the bond issue. Director Clarke seconded - Vote not carried. Director Wakeman amended the motion to read for $2,510,000.00, DirectorBurlingham seconded and the vote carried unanimously that RESOLUTION NO ~ be approved. Director Imbach moved, seconded by Director Clarke and unaimously carried that Ordinance No.87, which is an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 86, be approved. BROWN AND CALDWELL: Attorney J.

ROLL CALL:Present were Directors Clarke, Imbach, Burlingham, and Wakeman. Also present were General Manager Priday, Clerk of Board Mallery, Attorney Weidman, Attorney Holtom and Mr. E.

CORRESPONDENCE: General Manager Priday read a letter to the Directors from the Nevada Board concerning the credit Nevada feels is due them from the Highway Line in the amount of $9,605.75. President Souza stated that because our District is excNanging service from the Highway Line to the Beach Trunk Line, no credit is due Nevada. Attorney I~eidman stated that he has not been very happy with the attitude Nevada has taken from a policy point of view and that he would like to see the Board not grant the Nevada request ~or credit of the Highway Line. Mr. H. Moyer, Engineer, also stated that he should see no reason Nevada should be given a credit. Director Imbach moved that the request for $9,605.75 be denied Nevada for excNange of the Highway Line to the Beach Trunk Line. Director Clarke seconded and the vote carried unanimously. NEVADA SEWER IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ADDITIONAL CAPACITY - CAPITAL COSTS: Costs for Nevadfs increased capacity has been computed for two conditions: 1. Treatment and disposal capacity of 1.0 MGD average daily flow and a sewer capacity of 2.0 MGD peak flow rate. 2. A treatment and disposal capacity of 0.75 MGD average daily flow and a sewer capacity of 1.5 MGD peak flow rate. Based on Case 1, the total cost to Nevada would be $1,~83,978. This cost is comprised of $1,~05,759 for treatment and disposal and $278,219 for sewers and pumping stations. Based on Case 2, the total cost to Nevada would be $1,079,038. This cost is comprised of $904,320 for treatment and disposal and $174,718 for sewers and pumping stations. These costs are total costs computed on a pro-rata basis of reserved capacity for Nevada against the design capacity of the shared facilities. The costs include engineering, legal and a three percent charge for administrative expense. Complete cost tabulations are enclosed for both of the proposed conditions. If Nevada purchases at this time the 1.0 MGD average - 2.0 MGD peak, all reserve capacity in the C~lif~rnia system would be released. This would allow Nevada ample capacity for foreseeable future needs. %f Nevada capacity were limited to 0.75 MOD average - 1.5 MGD peak, some reserve capacity would be retained by California. The Nevada capacity in this case would be sufficient for predicted flows until 1965 or 1966. Since flow predictions for the Nevada system are predicated on some rather conservative assumptions, it is conceivable that this capacity would be sufficient for a somewhat greater time. It appears that the District should at this time offer a capacity of 0.75 MGD - 1.5 MGD to Nevada, with the provision that additional capacity be purchased by Nevada if future flow increases indicate that additional capacity is necessary. The additional capacity would be released to Nevada only if the C~lifornia system has existing reserve capacity available at that time. Otherwise, it would be necessary for Nevada to finance the necessary complete system expansion to obtain any additional capacity. Mr. H. Moyer stated that he feels the figures should be studied by the Board and action taken at a later date, and the Board's decision given to Nevada. Director Imbach moved that this cost inforamtion be held for study before su~nnitting to Nevada, Director Burlingham seconded and the vote carried unanimously. General Manager Priday recommended that a copy of these minutes be sent to Nevada. Mr. H. Moyer presented a Preliminary Report concerning Sewage Treatment and Disposal for South T hoe Public Utility District. This report is a complete report covering the following: 1. Basic Lake Tahoe Pollution Problem 2. Recommended Sewerage facilities for South Tahoe Public Utility District 3. Conclusions, recommendations and financial considerations. REPORT OF CITIZENS COMMITTEE: General Manager Priday read the report of the Citizens Committee which met at noon on Wednesday, April 4, 1962. A group of ten citizens met to discuss the bond issue. To sum up this report - - apl persons admitted the necessity of passing a bond issue, and the urgency of the matter at hand, but the difference of opinion was as to the amount the public should be asked to vote on. From an expression of the members present at this meeting, it can be stated thatpractically all these members would vote in favor of the bond issue, regardless of the amount decided upon by the Board of Directors. Director Imbach moved, seconded by Director Clarke and unanimously carried, that the Citizens Committee Report be accepted with thanks. RECOGNITION OF VISITORS:Mr. J. Gerken asked the Board who picked the Citizens Committee; also, that he did not see any news regarding a citizens committee. Mr. Walt Little, Lake Tahoe News, stated that the names ~ of the Citizens Committee were published in the paper. Mr. J. Gerken also stated that he feels the Board of Directors are discussing Nevada's needs only. President Souza stated that what we are now working on is for the California side and we are only obligated (old contract) to Nevada for a flow of 300,000 GPD average flow. Mr. H. Moyer stated that the Citizens of the District have been misled in respect to the Nevada situation. The people should realize that Nevada is paying on the basis of what they actually used and they have, over the past two years, paid from 48% to 40% of the bond. They are actually paying a share of the bond, interest and principal which is based on the amount of flow they contribute and Nevada is definitely not getting something for nothing. Mr. Gerken also asked the Board if the Board of Directors for California were considering Nevada as to whatever they might wish or want and President Souza stated "absolutely not" Mr. Gerken stated that he is for what is needed here but he does not sew where we should be interexted in Nevada. Director Imbach stated that in the midst of this discussion Mr. Gerken has made some statements that were untrue and there was no basis for such remarks; that it was an insult to this Board, because Mr. Gerken is not aware of what has actually been taking place, nor does he ave the facts; Director Imbach stated that the minutes, records, etc., are availNble if Mr. Gerken would like to see them. Director Burlingham stated that Mr. Gerken is quite new on the scene and he would be happy to meet with Mr. Gerken and clarify any misunderstanding that he has. STONE AND YOUNGBERG(CONSULTANTS~: Two representatives from Stone & Youngberg were present for this meeting and presented samples of what their firm does regarding bond issues. Mr. E. Barnett, representative, stated that he recommends the Board of Directors look over this report(sample)and check with the other entities they have April 5, 1962 served, bankers, etc., regarding their service. Mr. Barnett also stated their full fee would be $5,000.00 and they require $1,5~0.00 initial payment and the rest is due upon the sale of the securities, if the bond passes. President Souza stated that this will be taken under consideration and they will be advised, as to the Board's decision. RESOLUTIONS: Attorney Holtom recommended that Resolution No. 368, a Resolution Ordering Changes and Modifications, Sanitary Sewerage Project No 1960-2 be approved.

Atorney Holtom and Attorney Weidman will be presen for the hearing with the Bd. of Supervisors(Our attorney will request that the Bd. of Supervisors notify the people that have written protests of their decision). CANVASSING OF VOTES: Board of Directors will meet Monday, 5/7/62 at 9:00 AM USE OF LANDS: General Manager Priday stated that he received a letter from Mr. Knox Johnson regarding use of his land. Mr. Johnson stated that theuse of his land would be $400.00 per month, billed by Crocker-Anglo Bank and to continue for only three months. President Souza instructed General Manager Priday to write the Lahontan Regional Water Pollution Control Board regarding this letter so they will be aware of such before the May 9th meeting which is to be held at the Tahoe Valley Fire House. Director Imbach stated that he has heard rumors as to the Agencies that we could obtain funds from for additional land, etc.; Mr. Imbach further stated that all agencies known to the district were approached and he feels that the good citizens, if they so consider themselves this, should bring this information to the District. Mr. Harlan Moyer, engineer, stated that he does not subscribe tothe local · paper and he was quite surprised to read (when he arr~ved at Lake Tahoe) the articles in the paper regarding the District. Mr. Moyer further stated that allthe avenues known to the district to obtain land, etc., have been ~xhausted and if there is somthing that we have missed, we would surely like to know about it. President Souaa stated that any help that can be given to the district shoul¢ so be done and this was brought up at the iast meeting with the Lahontan Regional Water Pollution Control Board last October, 1961. At that meeting there was nothing available and the District was told that they had to look for land themselves and we would appreciate any help of getting this information so we could get help in this emergency crisis that we are now in. Director Burlingham stated that the letter sent out by "THINKING VOTERS" indicated that the board members were getting a commission regarding land and Mr. Burlingham stated that he would like to make it clear that Mr. Souza and Mr. Imbach were working on this committee and the only return they received from this was a compensation as for meetings attended and it certainly does not equal the work that went into it. Director B~rlingham also stated that it was indicated in this letter that there were three real estate men on this committee and further stated that "I want to make it clear that I was not on this committee". Director Clarke stated that during this campaign all was "Dirty Politics and I have never seen such Fellow journalism as I have seen during this campaign". Director Imbach stated that he was happy to s.ee so many people attending this meeting this evening and asked them to, "~hen they go home, think of the type of meeting that the district held this evening. Mrs. Arlene Thomas stated that Directors Burlingham and Imbach have done a great job for this district and to have an article on the front page of the Lake Tahoe News reading "VOTERS PULL THE CHAIN ON BURLINGHAM AND IMBACH" is an absolute disgrace and a great insult. Mr. Harlan Moyer stated that the firm of Clair Hill & Associates represent Many districts, etc., and stated that it has been a pleasure working with this district and that he was very sorry to see Mr. Imbach and Mr. Burlingham go as they have done a great and excellent job. So many people dc not realize the work and the need of each director. I do feel the five men · on the board of directors were right in the procedures that they followed and they should in no way feel any regret for presenting this program to this area. 170 May 3, 1962 Mr. Moyer also stated that he has had the opportunity to check this system and his concern reached the crescendo yesterday regarding the leaks in the Beach Trunk Line and rmarks regarding the engineers, inspectors, etc., and stated that he had checked to see what had happened and thought there was a big change and reported that the situation is not as bad as it was outlined - - the lines are ok and they are not drying Lake Tahoe dry. Also~ Mr. Moyer stated - the directors have not been misled and that he does not know where the information came from. Director Wakeman stated that the source of the letter sent out by "Thinking Voters" is being checked for the source and printing, and he further stated that he felt this was a very poor way to remark about a Director. Mr. Wakeman also stated that "To think these people can stand up and call themselves citizens after being a part of the printing = it is no wonder they did not sign this Thinking Voter's statement". The letter from Committee of Thinking Voters reads as follows: " PANIC, THREATS,HYSTERIA? Under the "Bungling" leadership of Chairman Frank Souza and his colleagues on the Sewer board, the residents of Lake Tahoe have just witnessed and been subjected to one of the cruelest forms of hysterical propeganda that has ever been developed in this area's history. In order to force their opinions on the voter and taxpayer, they have at the taxpayer's expense created a propaganda machine, a publicity agent, public relations man, a radio campaign, newspaper and direct mail campaign, all with one objective, Create a panic by threats and "dupe" the voter. In doing this they have created a monster that is far worse. The news media in the rest of the state have publicized articles that have started at Lake Tahoe, "Your children can't swim in Lake Tahoe if it is being contaminated by sewage, your beautiful streams are in danger from hmman waste, you are in danger of a complete disaster and shut down by the state health bureau, a cease and desist order will arrive the day following the bond election, threats to motel and business houses, vote our way or you face shut-down." Now, Mr. taxpayer, and businessman, would you invest money, build a home, start a business, buy a lot, or bring your family to Lake Tahoe for avacation after reading or hearing that Lake Tahoe was filthy with contamination and:facing disaster? Not on your life you wouldn't. Lake Tahoe has received a black eye from all this adverse publicity that will take many years to heal. This type of hysteria is not warranted at Lake Tahoe, the very idea is despicable, 'but thanks to Chairman Souza, the sewer board, and their advisoss it is an accomplJ~shed fact! The harm has been done. Let's look at this problem sensibly from here on, a cease and desist order doesn't shut anything down, it means to stop dumping treated or untreated water into a stream where it might find its way to the lake. m The answer, some additional land for another holding pond and enough pipe and spray equipment to handle the water. This is what the health authori~iesiare asking for. Last fall the pollution board met at ~Sou~h Tahoe and criticized the sewer district for opening a valve and relieving the holding pond, also for not using their available land for spray irrigation in a better manner. Chairman Souza, the sewer board, their engineer and manager advised those at the hearing that everything was serene, no contamination had taken place, the sewer plant was operating at only a fraction of its capacity, they were re-manufacturing water pure enough to drink and therefore nohting to be concerned about, further, that an employee of the plant had opened the valve dumping some water in error be- cause the stateiine clubs had an extra big weekend that had put an extra burden on the holding pond, but they had agreed by better practice not to do it again. They crtitcized the Forest Service not not allowing them addition- ai land at no charge. It was pointed out that plenty of Forest Service land was available, but that the federa~ people wouldn't give it to them. The fact still remains that NO formal request has been made to governmental agencies for emergency relief by the sewer bomrd. If there is an emergency involving health, and an economic- disaster, why hasthis not been done? The sewer board wants to buy mome land, 340 acres, where? who owns this land? who is negotiating the sale? what real estate firm or salesman is involved, what commission is involved? With three members of the sewer board in the real estate business, it is logical that some taxpayers are going to ask these questions, and are entitled to some forthright answers before making up their May 3, 1962 ~nds to sign a blank check. For the sake of Lake Tahoe and its future, let's top this "bungling" incompetent approach to a simple problem. One decisive solution would be to stop right in our tracks, examine what is needed now. What help we can receive from F~deral and State agencies, using the right approach to solve a problem involving two states and the federal government. And for the good of all, dispense with the t~reats, panic, hysteria, press agents and adverse publicity. To the sewer board we say: stop this carnival of errors, we don't need a circus atmosphere to solve a simple problem right here at home. Remember, to have the confidence of the voters, they must have confidence in you. COMMITTEE OF THINKING VOTERS" Mr. Wakeman statedthat this letter has been a shock to the Board and to have people twist the facts in such a matter continues to confuse the people and they are still asking questions regarding the bond issue, etc. Mrs. Arlene Thomas stated that she felt the Tahoe Tribune should be commended for their rightness of publication. Director Clarke moved, seconded by Director Burlingham, unanimously carried, that general manager Priday send a letter to the Tahoe Trihsne thanking them for giving the correct information to the people and stating the true facts. CLAIMS: General Manager Priday recommended that a claim in the amount of $930.22 from the E1 Dorado County Road Department be denied for payment because of insufficient data. General Manager Priday stated that he will write a lo the Road Department stating the board's decision on their claim. General Manager Priday recommended that the claims in the amount of $5,591.84 be approved for payment. Director Imbach moved, seconded by Director Clarke and unanimously carried that the che~ks and warrants be approved for payment. Director Imbach stated that "It has been a pleasure to serve on the Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility District and to work with the manager, engineer, etc., and it has been an education to me to be here and get a better understanding of trying to solve problems in this area and I only wish the Lake Tahoe News felt the same". Director Burlingham stated that he felt as Director Imbach does. Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Clarke, and unanimously carried that General Manager Priday write a letter of appreciation to Director Imbach and Director Burlingham for their time servedc'~on the Board of Directors. Director Clarke stated that he would like to tell both of the Directors that are going off the board that it has been a pleasure to him to serve with them. They have shown great effort towards the good of the community and commended:, both of them for their attitude towards community interests. Director Wakeman stated that he agreed with Mr. Clarke and his feelings were the same. Attorney Weidman stated that he enjoyed working with both directors, that ar going off the board, and even though they are going off the board - Attorney Weidman stated that he feels he still has two friends. Attorney Holtom stated that he appreciated having had the opportunity of working with these two members that are going off the board of directors. President Souza stated that it was a pleasure working with these men and also thathe has worked on may boards before coming to Lake tahoe and has never worked with anyone that is more sincere and that has worked any harder than these two men and was sorry that the people did not know how har~they did work and what they had. Uso, President Souza read his following statement: "It is my personal opinion that the vicious attack on me by my political opponents in the current campaign for 5th District Supervisor may have a affected the outcome of the recent P.U.D. bond election. The whisper and unsigned mail campaigns were timed to the bond election because of my close connection with t~is community problem. I believe that this demonstrates their lack of regard for the welfare of our community. May 3 , 1962 The defeat of the bond expresses the will of the people. We must continue to work to find a more acceptable solution for our community problems. I would like to commend the management, the Attorney's and the engineers, and especially the outgoing board members for their unselfish devotion to duty. I would also like to express my confidence that the newly elected directors will work with the same sincerity in the interest of the people of South Tahoe. The new board will be making a complete study of the problems as they exist today. The board will welcome any pertinent information from anyone in this community to help the directors come to a wise decision. I hope that all such informtion will be presented during the time that it will be useful to our Board. As a member of the Board of Directors, I will continue to work to the best of my ability for the solution of the District's problems."

WEIDMAN ATTORNEY AT LAW 325 MAIL STREET PLACERVILLE, CALIFORNIA DEAR MR. WEIDMAN: THIS IS IN REPLY TO YOUR RECENT QUESTION CONCERNING THE STATEMENT THAT WAS MADE IN THE LAKE TAHOE NEWS. AS YOU WILL RECALL~ THAT STATEMENT SAID IN PART THAT IF THE DIRECTORS OF THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT DESIRED TO OBTAIN RELIEF FROM THE CONTAMINATION PROBLEMS FACING THE DISTRICT "ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS MAKE A FORMAL REQUEST FOR RELIEF AND THE STATE HEALTH DEPAPTMENT WILL SEE THAT LAND IS MADE AVAILABLE TO THEM IMMEDIATELY FOR SPRAYING." UNFORTUNATELY~ I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE PROBLEM WITH WHICH THE DISTRICT IS FACED, AND THAT THIS SUGGESTION IS BEYOND THE LEGAL AND FINANCIAL ABILITIES OF OUR DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH. FIRST LET ME SAY THAT THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND EVERY DEPARTMENT AND AGENCY OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT IS CONCERNED IN ANYWAY WITH THIS PROBLEM WILL HELP IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY TO OBTAIN ITS SOLUTION. WE MUST POINT OUT~ HOWEVER, THAT THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE DEPARTMENTS CONCERNED CANNOT EXCEED THE LEGISLATIVE AUTHORIZATION WHICH THEY ~OSSESS, NOR CAN T~EY REGULAR MEETING -4- 5/11/62 MAKE ALLOTMENTS OF FUNDS WHERE NONE HAVE BEEN BUDGETED AND APPROVED BY THE LEGISLATURE. AS YOU WILL RECALL~ OUR HEALTH DEPARTMENT CONTACTED THE TWO U.S.SENATORS FROM CALIFORNIA AND ONE OF THE SENATORS FROM NEVADA TO CALL THIS PROBLEM TO THEIR ATTENTION. DURING THIS PERIOD, THE DISTRICT WAS ABLE TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE U.S.FOREST SERVICE FOR THE EXCHANGE OF CERTAIN PARCELS OF LAND ONCE THE DISTRICT HAD ACQUIRED TITLE TO THE PROPERTY WHICH WAS TO BE EXCP~ANGED WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED, MANY AVENUES WERE EXPLORED IN ORDER TO DISCOVER A MEANS OF ACQUIRING THE TITLE TO THE PROPERTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXCHANGE. HOWEVER~ NO MEANS WERE FEASIBLE SHORT OF A BOND ISSUE. AN ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM SHOWS THAT THERE IS NO PRACTICAL MEANS THROUGH WHICH THE NEEDED LAND AND EQUIPMENT CAN BE ACQUIRED EXCEPT FOR THE DISTRICT TO ARRANGE THE NECESSARY FINANCING. FURTHER, THE ONLY FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF PRIMARY DEVELOPMENT AS A PRACTICAL MATTER WOULD BE FROM THE PROCEEDS OF A DISTRICT BOND ISSUE. AGAIN, IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET WITH YOU IN THE GOVERNORtS OFFICE. PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT WE WILL DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO AID YOU IN THE SOLUTION OF YOUR PROBLEM. SINCERELY~ S/PAUL D.WARD LEGISLATIVE SECRETARY" BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HEARING: ATTORNEY HOLTOM STATED THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WILL MEET JUNE 11, 196~, 10:30 AM AT THEIR OFFICE.

GENERAL MANAGER PRIDAY STATED THAT THE PIT CON PILOT PLANT WAS DISMANTLED AND EXCESS MATERIAL WILL BE ADVERTISED FOR SALE. ALSO, MR.PRIDAY STATED THAT THIS WAS REMOVED BECAUSE IT HAD SERVED ITS PURPOSE; IT HAS DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE WANTED IT TO DO IN ONE-HUNDRED DIFFERENT WAYS AND ALL OF THE NECESSARY STUDIES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED WITH THE PILOT PLANT.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNREALISTIC TO TALK ABOUT INCREASED SEWAGE FLOWS FROM THE NEVADA DISTRICT, OVER AND ABOVE PRESENT CONTRACTUAL LIMITS, WITHOUT AT THE SAME TIME DISCUSSING THE MANNER OF PAYMENT FOR THE ADDITIONAL FLOWS. PRESENT CONTRACTUAL LIMITS MUST NOT BE EXCEEDED UNLESS AND UNTIL A NEW CONTRACT IS NEGOTIATED. THE EXPEDITIOUS CONCLUSION OF A NEW AND BUSINESSLIKE CONTRACT WITH DOUGLAS COUNTY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 1 WOULD DO MORE THAN ANY OTHER SINGLE THING TO BUILD PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT, THE PRESENT LACK OF WHICH WAS DEMONSTRATED ON MAY 1 WHEN THE VOTERS OVERWHELMINGLY DEFEATED THE BOND PROPOSAL AND REFUSED TO RE-ELECT TWO INCUMBENT DIRECTORS. OUR DIRECTORS STRONGLY URGE THAT ALL SUGGESTIONS, SUCH AS THAT OF DIRECTOR THOMAS STEWART, BE CAREFULLY CON SIDERED, ALWAYS BEARING IN MIND THAT PROPER AGREEMENTS FOR PAYMENT OF ADDED COSTS MUST BE WORKED OUT IN ADVANCE.

The initial step f0~"an'nexation would be the presentation to the District by the person desirinK annexation of a legal de,~t~3~tion and five conies of a plat or diagram of the area desired to be annexed. There would be available at the District Office forms of petition for annexation which could be provided to tb~ person de- siring annexation, which ~ould be furnished at this time. The forms differ as to whether the area involved fs inhabited, which requires an electors' petition, or uninhabited, which is signed by the owner of the nroperty. At this time it should be explained that the fees involved for the annexation proceedings include the standard district annexation char~es (also back taxes for excluded oarcels), estimated oublication costs and a local fee of $250.00. Since the lc?al fee of $250.00 would remain the same whether one or a number of narcels were involved in the annexation, the orooonent should be advised of the economic advantaees for a ?roup of oersons desitin? annexation to ~oln to,ether in the proceed[nas. However, under any circumstances, the required fees ~hou]d be deooslted with the District nrior to any further proceedings bein~ undertaPen. 2. Thereafter, the District would forward the mans and descr~.ntion to the attorneys, who would then assume responsibility for conduct[n~ the entire annexat{om proceedings The next step would be the filin~ of the description of the area te be annexed to ~he E1 Dorado County Boundary CommiSsion for ~eck~].n~ aside .. After receipt of apDrova! by the Boundary Comm[ssJ. on, the ~et{t~on for annexation is filed with the Clerk of the District, who certifies as to tb~ sufficiency of tb sJgnatures to the petition. 4. The Board of Directors of the District then ado~ts an Ord[nanc~ of Int~nt[or tc Alter the Boundaries of the District to include the area to be annexed.

DIRECTOR FESLER stated that "We called on may groups the last t~me; we w~nt cut of our way to talk to individuals and organizations at the time and they all stated the bond fssue had their approval and full support. I was amazed and very dlsaoDolnted and I am at a loss ~ow as to know where we should go from here". DIRECTOR WAKEYAN asked what are we going to do with the effluent? President Souza stated that we will have to ask the group of DanDle in the Val!ev to help solve this mroblem amd general public will be able to held us be finding some solution. President Souza further stated that we are sill working under a 'Cease and Desist' order and we w~lt continue long as we can control the effluent that We are now DrocesslpK. DIRECTOR CLARKE stated that the number of votes turned in did not re,reset, ~he voters of communltv; manV forgot to vote; others felt the bond issue would mass and did re- bother vote. Mr. Clarke stated that he did not feel this expressed the feellnK of ~he meDDle in the community - and that until we can get the expressions from the meddle amd the orffar~zations, we cannot even think of another bond issue. Mr. Clarke also stated that if the vot~ turned out favorably instead of unfavorably, he would not be satisfied as it came from such a small majority of registered voters and Yr. Clarke stated that he feels this would ~ot hav~ come from the people of the community. AUGUST 2, 1962 PROTEST A~ID MR. S.

He also stated that he feels the board of directors should fJnd out ~ust what the people do want.

SOUZA, PRE~iff)ENT a> SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC'UTILITY DISTRICT Special Meeting of the Board of Directors of the SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT AUGUST 8, 1962 The Board of Directors met for a Special Meetin~ at the Sewage Treatment Plant, August 8, 1962, at 3:30 P.M. ROLL CALL: Present were President Souza, Directors Clarke, Wakeman, Fesler and Stewart. Also present were General Manager Priday, Clerk of Board Mallery, Attorney J. Weidman, Engineer Harlan Moyer, Donald Richardson, Mrs. M. LDpez, Flip Brandi and Mr. William Johnson, and Mr. W. Kashaba. PURPOSE OF MEETING: This meeting was called to consider another bond issue election. President Souza asked the Chairman of the Planning Committee (Director Fesler) to give his report regarding their Committee Meeting and their recommendation Report reads as follows: "' ' "PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING AUGUST 6, 1962 Present were Chairman Fesler, Director Stewart, Manager Priday and Attorney Weidman. The meeting was called to consider planning as related to the future needs and requirements of the District's effluent disposal problem in view of the recent bond election defeat. All present were in agreement that the District would be involved in effluent overflows by early 1963 considering the present disposal site capacity. Any overflow very likely would result in action by the District Attorney's Office in the form of an in~unction which would force the District to take immediate action to stop the overflows-regardless of cost or long term best interests of the District. -' Our chief aim in this planning session was to examine the steps which could be taken now to head off an injunction and the resultant calamity. Possible courses of action: 1. Creation of a special assessment district to raise funds to be used for buying land and spray equipment; 2. Contracting with a private group to lease the land and ~quipment on a long term fixed cost basis. A lease figure of $100,000 per year has been mentioned; 3. Obtain a grant of Forest Service land for use for spray disposal purposes; 4. Call another bond election to get the funds for land acquisition and spray equipment. Course of action numbers 1 and 2 were deemed to be overly expensive. Numbe~ 3 was felt to be too indefinite to rely on in view of the need for immediate action and also would still result in the need for funds for spray equipment. It was the unanimous decision of the committee that the alternative which was in the best interests of the District was number 4. This alternative would cost the members of the District the least in the long run; would avoid the adverse publicity of the "Sewage into the Lake" nature, would permit exercise of the Kaspian option priDr to its expiration, Feb. 28, 1963, and would allow the District to proceed with the vitally important Nevada Contract negotiations. Consequently, this committee recommends that a bond election be set for September 18, 1962, with the canvass to be held on September 24, 1962, and that bids in four stages be called for so that immediate action could be taken in the event the bond election succeeds. Work could be started almost immediately and enough progress could be made to materially reduce the possibilities of the effluent overflows during the spring of 1963. A final recommendation was made that these voting precincts be established for the next bond election utilizing the Tahoe Valley, A1 Tahoe and Bijou Fire houses for the added convenience of the voters." August 8, 1962 (cont) SPECIAL MEETING · Director Wakeman stated that one of our newspapers in the Valley claims to know how our problem can be solved and maybe he can help the District to solve this by helping to explore the situation. Director Clarke stated that he felt the Planning Committee has arrived at the only logical solution. Also, the voters and the people in this community should see that this is their problem and not the problem oftthe District's. If they continue to short-chan~e them- selves, they will suffer as well as everyone. Director Clarke further stated that this is not a matter of life and death but it is vital to everyone in the area because it is the area's welfare that is at stake. President Souza stated that bad publicity which we have been receiving is beinM caused by the people living in the area and ones that have investments here. Many articles have done more to hurt us than to help us. General Manager Priday stated that he felt the Planning Committee's Report was a very good one. Mr. Priday also stated that he would like to mention that shortly after his arrival at the South Tahoe Public Utility District he contacted the United States Forest Service and requested eight (8) amendments to our land use permit. Ail were denied except one, which is the one regarding acreage and the cost to the District. Mr. Harlan Moyer, Engineer, stated that we have given (Clair Hill ~ Associates) a great deal of study to the problem facing the District and that they have again reviewed their figures and can see no other way but to go for the $920,000.00 figure. Anything less than this figure will not give the District any relief reKarding the effluent disposal problem. Mr. Moyer also stated that if the Board of Directors would authorize Clair Hill & Associates to prepare plans, specifications and design for the project before another bond issue election they will proceed. Mr. Walter Kashaba stated that he felt the publicity for the first bond issue was excellent and the information did get to the people; however, the people are now afraid of their taxes going up and this is the reason they are against it. Mr. Kashaba further stated that if this election could be held with the General Election in November, he feels that many more will turn out at the polls. Also, Mr. Kashaba mentioned that a Special Election, in his opinion, brings negative votes. Director Clarke stated that he felt the Fi~'~ing Committee covered the thoughts in their report and in regards to the overflow in 1963 - - if we wait for the thawing period in 1963 we will again have trouble. Also, he felt that another bond issue should be presented and if it again fails, we will be no worse off than we are now. Mr. Clarke further stated that if we balance %he few cents tax we would have to pay against the overflow in the spring, this would be a worthwhile campaign. Director Stewart stated that we do have a probem weather=wise, and if we hold out until November, we will have the time problem this fall; the overflow problem in the Spring of 1963, and if the bond issue does pass - - we will have the land. Mr. Stewart further stated that he feels the District should have another Bond Issue Election now and not wait. Mr. William Johnson stated that when the first bond issue was presented it was sugKested to hold same with the primary but Ruth LanK, County Clerk, suggested this not be done. Also, Mr. Johnson stRted that it would help to clear up the question as to who and who cannot vote. He further stated that the Directors of the Lake Valley Taxpayer's Association will continue to support the $920,000.00 Bond Issue and also that they will try to get the Chamber of Commerce and the Real Estate Board to give funds and they will make the direct mailing· General Manager Priday stated that we could also save money by sending letters re- garding the bond issue election with our bills that are sent out monthly. Mr. William Johnson stated that regardless of the Forest Servive - "I think we should have this land as an ace in the hole." Mr. William Johnson also stated that he talked to many people durinK the last bond issue election and wanted to mention that many of them had stated that if this land is obtained, the flow from Nevada will increase and this they do not want. Presidsnt Souza stated that this year the question as to who can and who cannot vote has come up at each District Election. Following the completion of the mnnexation which is now in process, all that are now on excluded parcels (ones that have not protested only) will be allowed to vote. Mr. N.R.Mallery, Office Manager, stated that we did our best to eliminate the ones from the register that we know are residing on excluded parcels~ also, Meeks Bay, Meyers, Etc. August 8, 1962 (cont.) SPECIAL MEETING but there are still many that we cannot check on. Many are tenants that live on excluded parcels; also, our listings do not have the up-to-date names of the property owners and because of this we do not know when to challenge one at the polls. Mr. William Johnson stated that it might help to go ~ver the Great Register and Director Wakeman stated that he spent much time working with the Great Register and was amazed to find approximately 750 to 1000 misre~istrations. Director Clarke stated that he felt t~ Citizens Committee should check the Great Register and do this job on short notice and maybe this can be cleared up before another Election. This way any trouble as to who~and who cannot vote will be eliminated at the polls. Attorney Weidman asked if it would help to have three precincts and Mr. William Johnson stated that when the school bond issue election was proposed there were separate precincts and he found that some voters would arrive at one precinct, were .vid to go to another, and as a result, many votes were lost. Mr. Johnson stated that because of this, he felt it would be best to leave it at the American Legion Hall. In answer to Mr. Flip Brandi's question as to how we determine who and who cannot vote, Attorney Weidman stated that (1) they must be residents of the community and (2) they must live within the District. Attorney Weidman also explained what takes place when a person is challenged (1) they take an oath stating they do reside in the District, (2) if they fail to take an oath and still wish to vote, (B) hearing is set. Director Fesler stated that he as a Board Member is ready to vote for another Bond Issue immediately and that he talked to many people that would provide funds for advertising. Mr. Flip Brandi asked if anyone in the District has made a formal request for land. It wa~ stated that government aagencies have been contacted and Congressman Johnson for an outright request of land or funds to purchase land. Also, as mentioned above, General Manager Priday contacted the Forest Service for eight (8) amendments and only one was granted - to reduce land. Mr. Harlan Moyer, Engineer, stated that it is of no value to this District to get land un- less it is pp~perly located and of the proper type. Also, when we talk about land, we must speak of it specifically and not generally. Mr. Flip Brandi asked the Board of Directors to put ia on record that he will obtain land for the District for free. Mention was made regarding the land recommendation from Br~wn and Caldwell. Mr. H. Moyer stated that Brown and Caldwell pointed out and recommended to thi~ District for disposal of effluent by land methods. The District acquired 300 acres of land to use as a disposal site. The 1959-1 General Obligation Bonds were not enough to build this plant and other items thRt were needed plus obtaining the 300 acres. When this happened, the District had to proceed with some emergency measure to provide land and, as a result, the Forest Service agreed to lease to the District for five (5) years, at $103,000.00 , this 240 acres of land. Brown & Caldwell stated in their report that land was not good land for effluent disposal. The figure of $920,000.00 was originally recommended but never obtained. This amount is needed now, Mr. Moyer stated, and will not be the last bond issue because later this plant will have to expand. Mr. H. Moyer also stated that he does not feel the effluent should be as highly treated as it is now but the Water Pollution Control Board does want this quality. This plant was designed to produce a high ~uality effluent but does not produce drinking water. Mrs. Manuela Lopez stated that she felt Mr. Flip Brandi greatly helped defeat the bond issue and that he should be convinced this is the only answer. Mrs. Lopez also stated that she discussed the bond issue with her Executive Board and they are still going to support the $920,000.00 Bond Issue. It was unanimously agreed by the Board of Directors, and agreeable to Mr. Flip Brandi at his suggestion, that he be a member of the Land Acquisition Committee. Director Clarke moved the adoption of the following Resolutions by title in order that if we do decide to ~kk~x take bond issue election action at the next regular meeting, we can do so legally. Director Wakeman seconded and the vote carried unanimously::::: AUGUST 8, 1962 SPECIAL MEETING RESOLUTION NO. 391: A Resolution DetermininK that the Public Interest and Necessity of the District Demand the Construction of Extensions and Improvements to a Sanitary Sewerage Collection, Outfall and Disposal Works and the Acquisition of Lands and Easements Therefore - SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT SEWER PROJECT.

CO.: Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Clark~, unanimously carried that the Notice of Comnletion for the Cordova Pumn and Manufacturin~ Comnanv be accented. (This was for the MODIFICATION O? THE BIJOU PV~P STATION) President Souza asked if there was anyone that would like to assist on this Land Committee and Del Laine stated that she felt the Tahoe Tribune wouRd like to be represented. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS: Genera]. Manaeer Pridav recommended that the checks and warrants in the amount of $~7,492.70 be approved for navment, plus the $8,000.00 claim to th~ Bank of Commerce for the La,range 1960-3 oro~ect. Director Clarke moved, seconded bv Director Wakeman, unanimously carried that General Manager Priday's recommendation be accented. CORRESPONDENCE: General Manager Priday read the following letter to the Board of Directors: "Dated: August 15, 1962 To: The Board of Directors From: Jack Leggett, Executive Director of the Lahontan Regional Water Pollution Control Board Gentlemen: I have received word that the recent sewer bond issue voted onbbv your District failed to pass. It was the understandine of this Board that the money from this bond issue was to have been used for the ourchase of additional land for the disposal of sews?e, thus eliminatin~ the serious threat of accidental overflows from the existin~ area. Although I have not discussed this matter with my board members I feel certain they do not intend to lift the existing Cease and Desist Order that was issued earlier this summer. It is my opinion that the order will remain in effect until a more definite ~uaran~ guarantee and proposal can be submitted to give reasonable assurance that future over- flows of sewage will not occur. In light of this the B-nard would aporeciatea letter from your District explaining what will be your next step towards u~timate correction. I have noted during the past few months that some of the voters in your District are under the impression that State, Local, or Governmental Aeencies can, under certain circumstances, make available or otherwise obtain government land for local nublic use. I am familiar with this thinkine since the subject has arisen on numerous occasions within this Region in the past twelve years. Areas such as Bridgeport, June Lake, Lake Arrow- head, Crestline, to name but a few, have made considerable effort to obtain such lands but to no avail. This Board has explored every avenue in an attempt to assist them. You will recall that in your ares this Board, the State Denartment of Public Health, the Local Health Department, and the State of Nevada Health Department, wrote letters to California and Nevada StRte Senators in an effort to obtain lands. This effort was made to assist your District in cor~ect~ng a serious condition. The best we could do was to assist your District in getting the present disnosal site and even this was obtained only under a five year lease, at an extremely high rental charge, and the land must be returned to the Forest Service at the end of that period, which incidentally, will run out in about two years, as I recall. Unfortunately, the Department of Agriculture has a hard and fast policy as it relates to land use. They are of the opinion that the lands which they supervise belong to the people of the United States and that no land can be given to any Derson or group of persons. The only way, to my knowledee, that this oolicv can be circumvented is bva person or a group of persons ourchasinK orivate!V owned land and then exchanging that land for like land on the Forest Service property. Even in this case the Forest Service may or may not accept the land in question. I believe your District is very familiar with this since this is the procedure you are now oursuln~. 8/16/62 Fezular meeting. I feel that this is not the time nor the place to discuss or arzue the rights and wrongs of the policy of the Department of Aericulture. Perhaps this oollcv will be changed at some future date. This Board frankly hooes it will and when th~ time comes they have indicated they will exert every effort towards that end. The ooint at hand, however, is the dire need of your District obtainine sufficient Rand for ~ safe disposal. Your engineers have indicated that this is the answer to your problem. Thev have also explained to your Board the need for exned]encv. The well meaning citizens of your District have proposed that an a~oroach to the Federal Government relative to releasing lands for this use would be far more economical in the long run. Certainly, if lands could be obtained without charge it is obvious that economies to your District could be afforded. I believe, however, that these people have not taken into consideration the extensive red tape and drawn out negotiations that would be necessary before a policy of this magnitude could be changed by the Deoartment of Azriculture. I would euess conservatively that several years would elapse before any such policy is chan~ed. In the meantime what is your District going to do with the rapid increase in ~ooulat~on of that area? I would not suegest closing the door on workinK towards such a change in policy but I would advise your District to find some adequate and safe means for disposal and at the same time provide for increased population loads. Again I would like to ask that your District notify this Board of what your schedule will be for obtaining a oermanent correction to this very serious problem. s/ J.T.

CORRESPONDENCE: The following letter written August 20, 1962, from Mr. Knox Johnson to the South Tahoe Public Utility District and tbe following letter written to Vincent Rodri~uez, Contractor, received bV the District, September 3, 1962, are as follows: h "South Tahoe Public Utility District, Attention: Board Chairman, Frank Souza, Bijou, California Gentlemen: I am writing this letter to inform the Board and to confirm my recent conversations with Mr. Winn Priday and Mr. Shoupe of Clair A. Hill and Associates, engineers for the District, in regard to the completion of work as promised. Regular Meeting SEPTEMBER 6, 1962 Last summer, in exchange and for compensation as pmr mv agreement with the District for a right-of-way for a gravity line to the Keys across what is known as the Truckee River Field opposite The Outdoorsman, a gravity line was laid and the land was to be put back to the original condition and elevations. As of this date, Messrs. Rodri~uez and Price, contractors on the fob, have not completed this work as promised and agreed to. These contractors are at the Lake now, and the month of August is the best month to have this done because of the wetness of the meadow. When this work is completed to my satisfaction, I will complete and sign their agreement for this right=of=way. I would like this letter on record in your Board minutes and your file should the contractor fall to complete this wor~. Sincerely, s/ Knox Johnson cc: Mr. Winn Priday Mr. Shoupe, c/o Clair A. Hill & Assoc." The following is the other letter mentioned above which was written to Vincent Rodri~uez, Contractor, from Mr. Knox Johnson: "Vincent Rodriquez, Contractor Dear Sir: This will confirm our agreement last Tuesday at the Lake in connection with work done for the South Tahoe Public Utility District on lands owned by me."(Knox Johnson) "Upon completion of building a level across one channel of the Truckee River and advancing $300.00 to me to comolete the balance of the work needed at my convenience, I will release you from any further obligation and accept the ~ob as satisfactory. This letter will also serve notice on STPUD and their engineers that you have completed this portion of the contract on my property to my satisfaction. Sincerely, s/Knox Johnson" RELIEF OF SEWER CONNECTION: Mr. W.N.McNaughten requested bv letter consldemation from the Board of Directors to relieve him of connecting to the Sewer System and requested this for the following reasons: "1. FREEWAY: I have written proof in the form of maps and letters from the division of highways that the proposed FREEWAY will cover both structrues described above and the lateral in ~uestion. 2. For this reason I had a second lateral insaalled that I intend to connect when I'm forced to relocate on the other corner of my lot. (See your receipt #1867, of 5/26/61, re:60-1-1883, 28-100-02). 3. I've already contributed financlallv to STPUD bv wav of a $1919.50 assessment for sewers plus $68.50 for the lateral I'll eventually connect to, plus $99.00 a year for the one arc light I have on my property. In view of this, the 50 cent per unit V~u'd collect if my house were connected to the sewer, seems a minor point. 4. I live in a virtually uninhabited area with no-one within 100 vards of me and snmrounded by 15-20 acres of bare land. Mv cesspool is ~uite adequate, and now has less that 50% of the demand oreviously made on it." Director Fesler moved, seconded by Director Stewart, unanimously carried~ that any action necessary be taken to relieve Mr. W.N.McNaughten from connecting his house to the sewer. ENGINEERING SERVICES: General Manager Priday read the letter from Clair Hill & Associates re Engineering Services. Letter reads as follows: A. Proposed 1962 G. O. Bond Issue ' "('1")" ~'~'b'~.

President Souza stated that the Engineering Service letter will be discussed and studied at the Study Session, Thursday, September 13, 1962, 3:00 P.M., at the Sewage Treatment Plant. '- CORRESPONDENCE: General Manager Pridav read the letter received from the Taxpayer's Association dated August 20, 1962, which stated that their Board of Directors recommended that the proposed bond election for $920,000.00 be delayed until not earlier than November 1, 1962; also, Gemeral Manager Pridav read the letter from the Taxoaver's Association dated September 1, 1962, which reaffirmed their letter of Augus% 20, 1962. Discussion was held regarding the future bond election scheduled for September 18, 1962. Mention was made by a visitor that he felt the bond issue election should be postponed because he did not feel enough information was released regarding the bond issue and that he talked with many property owners and businessmen and they all stated that their business has dropped from 25 to 30% this year - and they are worried about oaring more taxes. President Souza stated that every man on this Board of Directors has had to pay taxes and will be paying any increase in taxes as well as any property owner in this area. Great efforts have been made to get the information to the people; there have been press releases, radio broadcasts, talks were made at several group meetings in the area; the Board of Directors have offered to make talks to any group to ci~ar this situation. Director Clarke stated that many people have stated their business had dropped this year and that he felt that in all probability the business that is off is Lecause of the unfavorable publicity we have received this past year; also, because of the over-flow that happened last spring. This same problem is facing us at the moment and we must get as much work done as we possibly can before the thawing season is here. Mr. Clarke further stated that he would hate to think of what the business situation will be if we have another run-off this next spring. Director Wakeman stated that business in all areas that are not operatin~ under a Cease and Desist Order is very good. Placer County issues three times as many permits as E1 Dorado County does. Director Clarke stated that he knows of one restaurant business that is doing so much better this year than they did last year but they do not talk about it because they do not want to create hard feelings with those that are not doing well. PETITION - AL TAHOE PUMPING STATION: Director Fesler ~resented a petition to the Board of Directors for consideration which reads as follows: "August 31, 1962 Board ~f Directors South Tahoe Public Utilities District Tahoe Valley, California We, the undersigned taxpayers and property owners of Tahoe Valley, E1 Dorado County, request that the Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utilities District remedy the situation of an offensive odor coming from the A1 Tahoe sewerage pumping station. This has not only been annoying to the people of the neighborhood but is an unhealthful situation and a detriment to business. Regular Meeting September 6, 1962 We suggest that this open sewerage unit be sealed and not ~ust perfumed up with chemicals which would leave the same filth and bacteria in the air. E.C. and Lucille Perry, Box 256, A1 Tahoe John R. and Patricia M. Swing, Box 120, A1 Tahoe Carl an~ Thaline Ecklund, Box 671, Tahoe Vallev M.J. and Henryette Dezzoni, A1 Tahoe John O. Homer~ Box 122, Tahoe Valley, Mrs. J.L.Snipes~ Gen. Del.~ A1 Tahoe, Calif. Mrs. J.L. Foster, Gen. Del, A1 Tahoe, Calif. John J. Gerken, Box 377, Gerkens Lodge J.C.Stephens~ Tahoe Valley, California." A lengthy discussion was held regarding the above petition and as stated in the Manager's Report on page three (3) last two paragraphs: "It appears now that we have to take another course of action and require that no disposal from "Honey-Dumpers" be made in any part of the collection system; that the tanks be fitted with a pressure Dump and disposal be made at the treatment plant only." "At this point it appears that there is no ne~d for seotic tank maintenance within the District because a sewer collection system covers the entire area. It is not the responsibility of this District to acceot and treat sewage from out- side its boundaries. ' Director Clarke stated that he felt the situation required immediate action and that the recommendation of the Manager as stated in the Manager's Reoort be aooroved. Director Wakeman seconded. ~ ' Engineer Moyer stated that he agreed with the statement made bv Mr. Pridav in the Manager's Report and that from an engineering standpoint he felt it would be very poor tactics for the District to accept this and, furthermore, the purpose of this plant is to treat the sewage and it is not good for the district to accept septic sewage. Sometime aeo there was cause for this because many areas were not sewered; however, all areas are now sewered in the district - this should be eliminated as quickly as possible. Mention was also made that there was no reason for the people not to connect to the sewere; they are paying their assessment and in the long-run the service charge will be much less than what they must pay the "Honev-Dumoers". It is gettinE to the point where there are no isolated areas for the "Honey-Dum~ers"~to dump. Director Wakeman moved that this be tabled for further study, Director Fesler seconded and the vote unanimously carried. Director Fesler was appointed Chairman of this committee and asked that General Manaeer Pridav take whatever action is necessary to keep this odor down. General Manager Priday stated that there will be a letter sent out prohibiting any dumping in our system until such time this can be analized by our Committee and be will take care of this situation. (Report will be made at the next reeular meeting) GORRESPONDENCE: The following letter was received by the District August 31, 1962: "Mr. W.F. Priday c/o South Tahoe Public Utilities District Bijou, California Subject: So. Tahoe Sewage Treatment Plant Dear Mr. Priday: .~ou, and your staff are to be complimented. After inspecting and servicing the boiler ~.~ .~...~rols at your Sewage Treatment Plant, South Tahoe, let me state that in all the years of our doing this type of work we have never found such an efficiently ooerated treatment plant as the one you operate. We have worked in various plants in California and yours is second to none. Your plant superintendent, Mr. W. Taylor, is also to be complimented on the systematic way, and orderly condition that he operates this plant. It was a pleasure to work under these conditions, Very truly yours, s/E.C. Williams" The above letter was received from A..~arper, Acme Venturi Gas Burners, 468 Third St. San Francisco 7, Calfornia~ dated August 29, 1962. REGULAR MEETING September 6) 1962 CP~SCENT_ V SUBDIVISION: Clerk of Board Mallory presented a man regardin~ the Crescent V Subdivision which will be an annexation alone. Discussion was held and president Souza stated that this be postponed until after the Bond Issue Election. PUBLIC INFORMATION: Director Clarke stated that many meetings have been held with representatives of many organizations and these groups assured the Public Relations Committee of their interest in passing this bond issue election and they have been added to the committee. Releases have been sent to the papers and information has been given out. A meeting will be held this Friday, September 7, 1962, at the Clarke Bldg., at 8:00 P.M. and anyone interested is invited to attend and their support will be welcomed. General Manager Priday stated that a new bell system for the office telphone number Kimball 4-3653 will be installed in the plant as many have called on Saturday's, Sunday's and Holiday's and mentioned that they could not contact anyone at the plant. The plant telephone is not listed; therefore, there will be another bell put on the office telephone so the men in the plant will know to answer when the office is closed. Also, the Tahoe Valley Fire House has a list of the ~ersonnel that can be contacted in case of an emergency. Director Clarke stated that the District does not have funds with which to finance advertising at this time and we are hoping to advertise or publish by subscription and we will receive any contributions with "OPEN TIN CUPS". PAYMENT OF CLAIMS: Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Clarke, unanimously carried, that the checks and warrants in the amount of $T,004.28 be aporoved for payment. STUDY SESSION: President Souza reminded all present that the Study Session is scheduled for Thursday, September 13, 1962, 3:00 P.M. at the Sewage Treatment Plant. ADJOURNMENT: 10:00 P.M.

(Attorney Weidman will, if gfven the authority by the board, obtain the easements) Discussion was held regarding the pumo that is now in use at the Holdin~ Pond. Mr,Mover stated that he would recommend the oresent oumo be a6tered so that it can be used to oumo effluent through the force main. Through this alteration, the capacity, of the Dumo will mracticallv be doubled. General Manager Pridav stated that time was our first cons[deratlon in th~s metter and it is better that the oumo be altered than to have or think of a new ~umn station. PRELIMINARY PLANS:Mr. Mover presented the nrelim[narv olans for the s~rav Jrr[~at{on and omrcolation beds. He stated, however, that many chanees of th~s~ n]ans undoubtedlv take olace. Also, ~r. Mover stated that unon the oassaee of t~e bomd ~ssue, the initial program will be to install the Pioneer Trail Force Main; remov~ athe existing spray laterals and placing them for immediate use on th~ newly acquired ]and, ~f STUDY SESSION September ]3, 1962 the weather oermits; and nurchas~n~ no more spray irr~ation e~u~Dment; construct percolation beds which will be less expensive and more satisfactory than the Durchase of additional spray eou[oment; D~rcolat[on beds will be installed in most of the area Droposed, disturbing the natural terrain as little as Doss[bio. Mr. Harlan Mover stated that he had talked to Cornell, Howland, Hav,s and 7errvfJeld of Corvallis, Oregon, and they would very much like to come to the District to show the Board and Engineering Science Firm their nro~ress.

Director Stewart further stated that he would l[ke to have on record that he will suonort this forthcoming bond issue election on September 18, 1962. President Souza stated that with Director Stewart's comment, ~t now makes ~t a unanimous decision of the Board of Directors to oronose the Bond Issue for Seotember ]8, ]962. Mr. Norman Woods stated that he is aware of the problems of the D[str~ct and felt that ff the oeople of the area would come to the District meetings's; look at the Hold[n~ Pond, land, etc., they would have a cIear ~[cture of what the oroblems are that the D~strfct is faced w~.th. President Souza turned the Favel over to Director Clarke and made the fo]!ow~nn statemmn+: "I have an announcement to make at th~s time which I do not oart~cu]ar].v en~ov makin¢, but it is one which I thin~ ~s necessary to make for the ¢ood of the district as well as myself. I have decided to res[?n from the Board of directors of this district effective immediately. First of all, I do not want the fact that I am runnin~ for an e].ect[ve office to influence in any way the outcome of the $920,000 bond election next Tuesday. I hope that removine myself from the board will make ~t ooss[ble for the voters of this distr~ct to make their decision Tuesday clearly and s{mglv om the merits of the proposed bond ~ssue. Second, being a director of the South T8boe Public Uti]Crv Distr~ct is a demandine and time consuming ~ob. In the months ahead I will not have the time to devote to th~s position which I feel it reou~res, because I intend to devote full time to my campaign for election to the board of supervisors of E1 Dorado County. The groundwork has been laid for the needed improvements to our sewage disposal system and there is nothing more I can do to further th~s work in the brief time re- maining members of the Board and whoever is apoo~nted to take mv place will carry on in a competent and responsible manner the oroeram we have worked so hard to develon. I sincerely hope the bond issue will be aooroved Tuesday because we need an adequate sewaEe disposal system so the economy of the area can continue to ~row and provide the new 1pbs and new business opportunities all of us are interested in. I would like at this time to thank the other members of the board, our manaeer Win Pridav, and other emolovees of the district for the help they bare ¢[ven me as Chairman of this Board. It has been a Dleasure workln~ with all of you and I will loo~ forward to working with you aeain in the future ~f there is anvthine I can do to helD." Director Wakeman stated that we should thank Mr. Souza for a fantastically great ~ob coming from the bottom of his heart and he has neglected his own bus,ness to work for the District. Mr. Wakeman further stated that it takes an outstandin~ man to do what Mr. Souza has done and th~s board will suffer a Croat loss. Director Fesler stated that he would like to thank Mr. Souza for his sincere efforts and the excellent ~ob he has done as President. Director Stewart stated that Director Wakeman covered his feelings towards Mr. Souza. Director Clarke stated that all the Directors feel the same about Pr-sldent Souza's resignation; however, this should be put on the agenda for action at the next regular meeting. Director Clarke also stated that under other circumstances much more would be ~a[d and meant none the less; also, that Mr. Souza has added so much to this program bore and anyone connected with this District will always ~x~ carry a high regard for h~m and for his efforts.

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK THE TROUBLE TO LOOK L~TO THE FACTS SURPOUNDING THF U~CENT PPOBLEM OF EFFLUENT DISPOSAL AND THE NEEDS OF THEIP COMMUNITY. I FEEL NO PESENTWENT AGAINST THOSE ~0 VOTED NO_m, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THEY !~!ERE SINCEPE ALTHOUCH CONFUSED BY THE MISLEADING AND VICIOUS STATEMENTS FORCED UPON THEM BY A SMALL MAN WITH A MI,~D AND A YELLOW SCANDAL SHEET FLIP BRANDi IS A ~AN WHO IGNORED THE WELFARE OF HIS COMMUNITY, THE ENDOPSEMENT OF THE CHAMBER OF COM?ERCE, THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE SOUTH TAHOE REALTY BOARD, THE ENDOPSEMENT OF ALL OF THE SERVICE CLUBS AND OTHER COMMUNITY ORSANIZAT~ONS AND THE WISHES EXPRESSED BY OVER 800 vitally INTERESTED VOTERS, WITH HIS GROUNDLESS IDEAS, HALF TRUTHS, INNUENDOS, HE USED HIS DIRTY LITTLE SHEET TO DEFEAT AND INJURE ALL OF US. NOT ALONE ARE WE BADLY HURT BY THIS SHORT SIGHTED MAN, BUT GOING BEYOND OUR LOCAL BOUNDARIES, ALL THE TREMENDOUS ADVERSE PUBLICITY BEING WRITTEN IN THE METROPOLITAN NEWSPAPERS FROM THE BAY AREA TO LOS ANGELES STEMS FROM BRANDI AND HIS LAKE TAHOE NEWS. MY RESIGNATION HAS MADE ME A PRIVATE CITIZEN OF LAKE TAHOE AGAIN .... A MAN WHO CAN SPEAK HIS MIND WITHOUT DRAWING UPON A RESPECTED PUBLIC BODY THE VILE STATEMENTS OF IRRESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM THAT IS OOZIN~ OUT OF THE SEAMS OF ONE OF OUR LOCAL SO CALLED NEWSPAPERS. I MADE MY DECISION TO STEP DOWN FROM MY POST AFTER ~UCH CAREFUL THOUGHT.

I ONLY WISH THAT MY DEPARTURE FROM THE BOARD MIGHT ALSO GUARANTEE THE RE~AINING DIRECTORS AGAINST CONTINUED ATTACKS AND CHAPACTEP ASSASSINATION TECHNIQUES OF THE IRRESPONSIBLE LITTLE MAN WITH THE YELLOW SHEET. I REAP, HOWEVER, THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO STAND UP UNDER THOSE ATTACKS. I AM NOW FREE TO SPEAK MY MIND AND TO CALL MY SHOTS AS I SEE THEM. I INTEND TO PUPSUE MY CAMPAIGN FOR THE POSITION OF SUPERVISOR OF THE 5TH SUPERVISORIAL DISTRICT.

MY OPPONANT, THE INCUMBENT, IS THE STOOGE OF THE LITTLE MAN WITH THE YELLOW SHEET. HE WAS PUT INTO OFFICE THROUGH IRRESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM AND MAINTAINED IN OFFICE BY IRRESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM. TO BREAK THE POWER OF THIS STOOGE AND OTHERS LIKE HIM ON OTHER PUBLIC BOAPDS TAKES A MAN WHO IS A FIGHTER... A MAN WHO IS WILLING TO STAND UP UNDER VICIOUS AND UN- WARRANTED ATTACK. I AM SUCH A MAN AND I PROMISE YOU THAT COME WHAT MAY, I SHALL NEVER BECOME A STOOGE OF THE SMALL MAN WITH THE YELLOW SHEET. I BELIEVE THAT IF ~.~ CAN ONCE BREAK THE POWER OF THE EVIL LITTLE ~AN AND HIS YELLOW SHEET, IT WILL ONCE AGAIN BE POSSIBLE FOR THE DEDICATED, CAPABLE AND PESPONSIBLE ~EN AND WOMEN IN OUR COMMUNITY TO SERVE ON PUBLIC BOARDS WITHOUT DANGER OF ATTACK ON THEIP CHARACTER AND INTE2RITY. THEY WILL A~AIN BE ABLE TO SEPVE THEIR COMMUNITY WITH SINCERITY AND WITHOUT FEAR THAT THE RESPECT OF THEIR FPIENDS AND NEIGHBOPS MILL BE UNDERMINED AND THEIR BUSINESS REPUTATIONS MAY BE IMPAIRED THROUGH IRRESPONSIBLE JOURNALISTIC ATTACKS.

ASK YOURSELF WHY THE WOULD-BE- SELLER OF THE $6,000 LAND WAS ONE OF THE BITTER OPPONANTS OF OUR BOND ISSUE. ASK YOUR- SELVES WHY WE MAY NOW LOSE THE MULTI=MILLION DOLLAR DEL WEBB DEVELOPMENT THAT COULD HAVE EMPLOYED ~UNDREDS OF OUR PEOPLE.

Director Clarke stated that he was not aware the statement was also a oolitical s~eech but he felt that Mr. Frank Souza has earned the rieht to make the smeech. LAND OPTION - GEORGE KASPIAN: Mr George Kasoian stated that the Ut~.]it,~, D~strlct has tried once, twice, and now the third time, and the bond issue has fei]ed all three times. He requested of the board to release him of the land notion a~reeme~t. Attorney Weidman stated to the Directors that if notice is given to hold another bond election, or acceotance of other oroceeds that will orovide funds to ourchase this land from Mr. Kasoian bv 2/28/63, within 15 days of 9/18/62, then Mr. Kasnian is legally bound to his ontion for the remaining oeriod. Attorney Weidaan stated that he reviewed the land ontion agreement and he can see no other way, other than the District failin~ to eive notice 15 days from September 18, 1962, that Mr. ~eor~e Kasoian can be released of this agreement. Director Clarke asked Attorney Weidman if the District was under a moral obligation to Mr. George Kasoian. Attorney Weidman stated that be felt he should not be asked to give his ooinion regarding a moral ooinion. ~r. ClarRe withdrew his ~uemtion. Director Fesler asked if his thinkine of this was that if action is not taken by October 3, 1962, than the notion agreement expires. Attorney Weidman stated that his thinkln~ was correct. Attorney Weidman stated that if notice is given within 15 d~vs (from Sentember 18) than the District does have an obligation to Mr. GeorKe Kasoian and be must be orov[ded with the money by 2/28/63. Director Wakeman stated that he was pleased to see so many neoole turn out this evening for this meeting and he also stated that the district has a greet oroblem today; there is a newsoaoer here in this communitv that has actually hurt the community. This is not the first time - there is a long history behind this newsoaoer. The first was the bond issue for our school house = this man said he would back this bond ~.f we drooped it to a figure of $350,000.00 and this was done. The Contractor gave the community $6,000.00 for leaving the floor out of the school; another $6,000.00 for the corriders and this cost the community $18,000.00 ..... the taxoaver's naid as high as one-half million more than it sheuld have cost them. This man had a running camnaien to get the Supt. of schools discharged and necked the school board; he has defeated the school override tax again, and again, and he has now defeater our sewer bond issue. This newspaper wants us to believe in him; he did not want the two and one- half million dollar bond issue but would ~o for the $920,000.00. We went for the $920,000.00 bond issue; went for it the second time and the third time; he then stated he would go for the $920,000.00 bond issue but that it should be droooed to $500,000.00, and during the last (3rd) bond issue, he stated that a 4¢ stamo would eliminate a need for this bond issue. He has asked for the resignation of every person on every board that does not reoort directly to him and we are now faced with the hearing of the Water Pollution Conto! Board set for 9/27/62, at 9:00 A.M. at the Tahoe Valley Fire House. We are also heine asked bva man to release him of the land notion agreement that we could purchase land for $1,600.00 an acre that would solve ali. of our oroblems, and if we do this, we would later have to obtain land for $6,000.00 an acre. Director Wakeman stated that mavbe this is the reason behind evervthine. °rmTr~nr~ 1967 REGUL}~R MEETING ..... .... ?0, Mr. Anderson of Osborne Realty stated that ever since last spring this board has blamed everyone, especially opponents, and this newsnaoer, but they do not stop to think for one moment that the Kuilt is on them. When this Board decided to have a two and one-half million dollar bond issue, it showed that only one million dollars was needed, and the Dapple in the town could not swallow that. One week before the bond issue, the taxpayer's plea~ed with the board to nostnone this issue for another month. This - the board would not do. If the board had postponed this issue one month, the truth from the man on the street would have come to them. Mr. Anderson stated that he feels the board, through their stubborness~,- got themselves in this oredicament and that they should not blame anyone else - "They should ta~e a little blame them- selves". Director Fesler stated that there have been some inflamatorv statements made this~R~~/ evening and he did not feel this was a good climate for the board to consider and moved that we oostoone consideration of the land potion agreement to be held next Thursday evening, 9/27/62. Seconded bv Dimector Wakeman. Because of the Water Pollution Control Board Hearine scheduled for 9/77/67~ 9:00 A.Y., Director Stewart stated that he felt the meeting should be bald nrior to 9/27/62, and moved to amend the motion to read that we adjourn to Monday evening, 9/2~/62, at 7:00 ~.Y. at the Sewage Treatment Plant to Canvass the Votes and to discuss the land option agreement. Director Wakeman seconded and the vote carried unanimously. CORRESPONDENCE: Clerk of Board Mallory read the letter from the Lake Tahoe ~ews regarding materials for orinting and which requested that Lake Tahoe Business Printing Firms be given consideration on this printing. This letter was to request the District and management to submit bids on whatever orinting is contemplated. General Manager Priday stated that the only items printed locally are the Resolutions and the Ordinances (published) and the maos that were sent out with the samole ballots -were printed by the Lake Tahoe News. The only other printing by the district and management to sub~it bids on whatever printing is contemplated. General Manager Priday stated that the only items printed locally are the Resolu RELIEF OF SEWER CONNECTIONS: ALVA BARTON: Mrs. Alva Barton requested that she connect her home and one cabin only as she has a tenant that wishes to continue living there and would like to have only this one cabin and her house connected to the sewer. Director Fesler stated that upon the General Manager's recommendation, Mrs. Alva Barton's request be granted; Director Stewart seconded, vote carried unanimously. ADRIAN LOPEZ: Mr. A. Lopez requested that he be given relief from a sewer connection which will be a rental because at the present time he is not financially able to connect all of his buildings, but hopes to be able to in the near future. Director ?esler seconded the move by Director Stewart that Mr. A. Looez be eranted his request. Vote unanimously carried. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS: Director Fesler moved, seconded bv Director Stewart, unanimously carried, that the checks and warrants in the amount of $28,072.86 be approved for payment as recommended by General Manaeer Pridav. Chairman Pro Tem Donald Clarke stated that he would like to exnress for the ~oard their thanks to those who worked on the election board. General Manager Priday stated that Mr. Fred Callo and Yrs. Eve!vn Gallo called 75 people (re: election) and he felt they should be commended; also the taxi service which was offered free, and the committee of the "get out the vote". Director Wakeman stated that he would like to apologize in one way to the oeoo!e ............ that we can say what we want but in the end we do have to have some place to out this effluent. It all stems down to the point that we do need the bond issue to purchase this land for $1,600.00 an acre instead of $6,000.00 an acre and if there is anyone t,.. .n come forth with this answer - we would like to hear it. How can you overcome the opposition of one man to accomnlish this. ~rs. Richard Codman stated that she is not within the Sewer District but that she would like to mention that Mr. Brandi's naoer gave ~ribute to both sides and that she feels Mr. Brandi has not shown favoritism. Mr. Chapman Wentworth, Manager of the Tahoe Sierra Tribune, stated to Mrs. Codman that every letter that came in against and for the bond issue was oublished; the oaoer welcomes the oublic to soeak to the oress and on the humorous side, Mr. Wentworth stated that he was of the understandine that a nrivate graveyard was set aside for the newspaper bare. REGULAR MEETING SEPTEYBER 20, ]96? Mr. Frank C. Souza stated that these directors are trvln? to solve a ~roblem and he would like to see these ~eoole come to the district and take a field trio which was taken by many last Thursday, Seotember 13, and see for themselves ~ust what the district is faced with. Also, Mr. Souza stated that Director Stewart was not for hav~n~ the bond issue on 9/18/62, until he returned from this field tri~ and then he chanfed his mind and understood the ~roblem and wanted to have it on record that he is definitely for the bond ~ssue. We face disaster again this s~ring and the oeoole that are makin? comments do not realize these orobtems and he stated that he would like to have these same oeco].e that are making these comments take a field trio to see what the directors are real!v faced with. That is why the directors are stubborn as so many have out it this eve[ne, Mr. Souza stated. Mr. C. Gibson stated that he tried to have a word ear].ier this evenine durln~ the time that Mr. Anderson was talking. Mr. Gibson stated that he would like the entire communitV to realize we had ~ood directors before and that three of the directors out of the five were elected and I think it is entlrelv improper that they be called stubborn after they ~oined the board. "I know Mr. Fesler only am a hard competitor", Mr. ~[bson stated, and "I do not believe that~he or Tommy Stewart were hood-winked", Mr. Gibson stated, and "I would see Mr. Anderson on the street and he was conductinq a tirade and I could not get a word in edgewise - he wasn't gettinK oDin[ohS, he was conducting a tirade against the district". Mr. William Johnson stated that "I have come to the conclusion that ~eoDle do not rule with their minds, but with their hearts". Mr. Johnson also stated that he is in full a~reement with Mr. Frank Souza regarding his report on the roads, and asked the ~eonle where they were when all this was going on - no one was here to ~ush our supervisor at that time; we do have a ~roblem, Mr. Johnson stated, because he stated that he knew of this oroblem as he is one of the heirs to the land where this effluent is Dumped. Mr. Johnson also stated that he has received man~, calls as to what is the District going to do now; he also stated that he does not feel another Bond Issue Election w~l] DeSK but that he feels the issue of forest government land can be forced and he ~ro~osed that the sewer d~strict board have a ~etit[on statine that they want this land for a minimum fee and that this same ~et[t[on will be ta~em to the nec~!e of the Valley and when Coneressman Johnson comes to the Lake Valley Area we w[l! ~resent this petition to him and tell him that th~s is what we have to have and that w~ need it now. Mr. S. Meyers stated that he was in a~reement w~th Yr. William Johnson's ~tatement. Yr. ~eorge KasD[an stated that the board should let the land o~tlon a?reememt b~ re- leased and that they should Ko to the Corgressman an~ work with h~m. Mrs. Manuela LoDez asked if the airport and ?olf course would acce~t this effluent and ~t was exola[ned to Mrs. Looez that if this were to hamnen, the District would have to build a force main and ~ut the olde throuehout the areas. Wrs. I, on~z stated to the Board that Mr. Wordell stated that we could eot ~overnm~nt aide to ~um~ this effluent to these areas. Mr. Harlan Mover stated that land d[snosal is an interim measure; our nroblem is obtaining land; we must have it; also, if there is anyway that anvoDe can ?et free land, we ask them to please nroceed and obtain it for us. However, Mr. }{ar]an Mover stated, that when we soeak of land, we s~eak of it sDeclficallv and not eemeral]v, as all land is not useable for the district's ~ur~oses. Chairman Pro Tom Clarke stated that the directors have tried to ?et tb~s bond issue over and to obtain the man~ necessarv items that are actually needed; the ho].dJn~ nond is Eo[nK to be full before the winter ~s over; there w~ll be overflows; what ha~Dened last s~r[n~ is only a little ~roblem of what the dJstrJct will be faced wftb t~[m next sDr[.m~. D~rector Fesler stated that ~r. Clarke did an excellent qob as Chairman Pro Tom all Directors aereed with hJm.

MINUTES: Minutes of October 18, 1962, were amended to include the following statement: Mr. William V.D. Johnson objected to the Special Meeting of the Board of Directors scheduled for November 8, 1962, for interviewing appointees to the Board to fill the vacancy which now exists. He felt the directors should not call a special meeting for this and mentioned that same could be handled at a regular meeting. He did not see why the Taxpayer's should have to pay $375.00 for this special meeting. Director Stewart moved, seconded by Director Feeler, unanimously carried, that the minutes of October 18, 1962 be approved as amended. Note: Also, please note the change in the minutes of October 18, 1962, regarding the honey dumpers. HONEY DUMPERS: Mr. Frazier and Mr. Scofield were notified regarding the septic tank dumps as well as the honey dumpers. Mr. Frazier came to the office and asked what could be done re septic dumps. General Manager Priday stated that he mentioned to Mr. Franzier that the plant is handling the septic dumps but that he did not want them to use this if they could find another w~y ~_~_½~..~p. r&.~oay s~ated also that we have no pro6f the honey dumpers are dumpin~r~~~O~u%lP~lt that because of the compacted amounts coming through the sludge felt that they were dumping..~~Y~. in the collection system. MANAGER'S REpp~T: General Manager Priday read his report which is as follows: "Treatment Plant: A painting program is well under way to refurbish and orotect all surfaces' e~Po~'ed %o the elements. Both sewer line maintenance and plant maintenance personnel are working on this project. Protective shelters have been installed on all outside meters and pumps except the large effluent pumps and no. 3 water pumps. This will have to be done before inclement weather arrives. The brick facing is falling away from No. 2 digester and as of this date we have been unsuccessful in determining responsibility for failure. I propose to the board that Attorney Weidman take whatever course of action is proper to ascertain liability and pursue the case to the end. The repair will cost the District a considerable amount of money if we have to accept responsibility. We have received a calculation of sewage flows from Creegan and D'Angelo, engineers for Douglas County Improvement District, indicating that Nevada's contribution has been 25.5% of plants total flow. This means a reduction of $41,000.00 on the revenue side of thls years budget. Our budget was based on Nevada contributing 40% of total flow. The aforementioned calculations have not yet been reviewed by Mr. Harlan Moyer. Among many corrections and rebuild items made by Mr. Taylor, Supt. of Operations, was one installation worthy of mention due to its immediate savings. An automatic chlorine control was installed the latter part of September at a cost of approximately $450.00. A saving of 42.9% on chlorine use for the month of October was equal to $110.56. We can assume that the device will be paid for in approximately four (4) months PgGULAR MEETING November 1, 1962 with continued savings in the future. SPRAY DISPOSAL: Holding pond remains with approximately three (3) feet of effluent. Spray disposal is only being accomplished during the daylight hours due to icing conditions at night." Acting President Clarke asked Attorney Weidman to follow through with General Manager Priday's request as stated in Paragraph two of Manager's Report. Also, the ratio of 25.5% was arrived at by averaging the actual flow for the months of June, July, August and September. (fourth paragraph of Manager's report) DOUGLAS COUNTY IMPROVEMENT p.!.STRIC~ N~O. 1: The check in the amount of $32,636.02 was received by the District from the Douglas County Improvement District No. 1. (This was a quarterly payment due from Nevada.) General Manager Priday stated that he hopes the amount of money coming in for permits and the annexation will make up the difference in the $41,000.00 reduction. (Mentioned in paragraph four of Manager's report) General Manager Priday also stated that the holding pond is no higher than four feet and no lower than three feet. Acting President Clarke stated that Mr. William Taylor should be commended for his work as mentioned in paragraph five of the Manager's Report. Mr. Ralph Andersen asked what the California side gallonage is since the Nevada side was reduced so much. Mr. Priday stated that it was approximately 500,000 gallons. Director Stewart moved, seconded by Director Fesler, unanimously carried, that the Manager's Report be accepted. ASPEN GROVE SEWER LINE: Engineer Harlan Moyer stated that all papers were ready for approval by' the Board; however, Mr. Moyer recommended that these papers should not be acted on tonight because all charges involved are not pald. The district is obligated to Clair A. Hill & Associates for inspection of the sewer system and the money has not been delivered from the subdivider to the District. Acting President Clarke stated that action will be deferred on the resolutions regarding the Aspen Grove Sewer Line until all necessary funds are received. Clerk of Board Mallery stated that the subdivider was notified by letter October 17, 1962, that we requested the money from them, out we have not heard from them. President Clarke asked Clerk of Board Mallery to write another letter to the subdivider and state the action that was taken at this meeting regarding Aspen Grove Sewer Line. General Manager Priday stated that he felt if one would want to connect to the Aspen Grove Sewer System in case of an emergency, they should be permitted to do so. The line is inspected and we know it is alright, but we must follow procedure and obtain our funds before we accept this line, General Manager Priday stated. RESOLUTIONS: The following resolutions were adopted: 1. RESOLUTION NO. 407 = A Resolution Ordering Changes and Modifications = Sanitary Sewerage Project No. 1960-4 RESOLUTION NO. 408 - A Res61ution Directing Making of Amended Assessment Re Certain Assessment Under Resolution of Intention No. 146, as amended; Sanitary Sewerage Project 1959-1. RESOLUTION NO. 409 = A Resolution Directing Making of Amended Assessment Re Certain Assessment Under Resolution of Intention No. 146 as Amended; Sanitary Sewerage Project 1959-1 Attorney Holtom stated that when people come into the District and request changes they should be notified that there will be a fee connected with the change and the Title Companies should also be notified. (There will be a $25.00 charge for each parcel - Owner will be charged.) Director Fesler moved, seconded by Director Stewart, unanimously carried, that the above Resolutions be adopted. P£GULAR MEETING November 1, 1962 ORDINANCE: RE EASEMENTS, RIGHT-O~'-WAYS, ETC.: Attorney J. Weidman stated that because the Ord'i'~ance' ~ h~s' prePa~e~' might' ef~'~me of our e~isting easements, he recommends that the Land Committe Chairman and the Committee study the Ordinance before action is taken.

EXPIRATION DATE ON PERMITS: When a permit is obtained, the owner or the contractor is ~o'ti'f'i~d' at the time ('or one that takes the permit out) that the permit is valid for only 60 days and in the event that weather does not permit the person to connect or for some reason they cannot complete their connection with the 60 days, an extension is given. Gemeral Manager Priday stated that we have extended some permits up to four (4) months. (However, the owner must notify the district prior to the expiration date on the permit for an extension.) LAND COMMITTEE: Chairman Stewart stated that the land committee met on October 2, 1962, to plan '~nd"0ut'line an approach to the problem the district now has; - - October 30, 1962, the Land Committee met with Mr.~ ~ram.~rpp~unian regarding his land for disposal and the outcome was that he would allow our Engineer to inspect this land for effluent use. Mr. Allen Thom.~.s was contacted regarding the Johnson Estate and a letter received 10/25/62 stated that further use of the Johnson Land is not recommended and they do not wish to rent same for effluent disposal. Elwood Johnson stated that he does not have land that would be suitable for effluent dispos~'l'.' ~ u~z,ecsoz, ~rewarT ~dTe~ [~dT for YUD£1C me±a~lons he recommends that the Dress release all information to the people regarding the land disposal problem and wha% has been done.' Director Wakeman stated that Chairman Stewart should be complimented on the great amount of work put forth re the land disposal problem and that he should continue working on this problem. Director Stewart stated that the members of the land committee have been very helpful and have also been a very congenial group.

This is expected in approximately 30 days and it will contain all provisions and mest~i~ons that the Forestry Service want on that property and the amount of rent the Forestry Service will charge for the mroperty. Mr. Moyer stated that it was his feeling that the D~strict would be able t~ do what they must do with the Forestry Service Property. Mr. R. Andersen and Mr. W.

MINUTES OF NO.V~M~E~ 1~,. 19¢2: Director Fesler stated that he would like the minutes to reflect that the Directors are aware of the erroneous figure which Mr. W. Johnson quoted as being $375.00 for a special meeting which was called for November 8, 1962. Director Fesler also stated that on November 8, 1962, he attended a meeting with Director Stewart during the afternoon and they did not request or put in for the evening meeting of November 8, 1962. ,.- Director Fesler moved, seconded by Director Wakeman, unanimously carried, that the minutes · of November 1, 1962, be approved as corrected. MANAGER'S REPORT: General Manager Prida¥ read his report and Director Wakeman moved, seconded by D'i'~ctor Fesler, unanimously carried, that the Manager's Report be approved. General Manager Priday's report reads as follows: ?MANAGER'S REPORT November 15,1962 TREATMENT PLANT: All outside painting is complete. Protective covers have been installed over all outside pumps except the large effluent pumps and No. 3 water pumps. The later installation is being considered as a concrete block building to harmonize with adjacent structure. We have been trying for some months to get a prefabricated metal building but recent information has eliminated this idea. Representatives from Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Company have recently completed the testing, calibrating and operation of all controls, meters and alarms at the Treatment Plant and Pumping Stations. This service is vital for the operation of this plant, it assures us that all intricate devices are working properly and meter readings so essential to the proper application of our contract with Nevada are correct. It is the first time since the plant opened that such a complete service has been done. Henceforth, it is our intent to have a p~riodic check every four (4) months. These will be of a much lesser degree. SPRAY DISPOSAL: The holding pond has 12'=6" freeboard, but the disposal area is slowly becomming saturated so the spraying has to be changed more often each succeeding day. NEW FACILITIES:+ After long discussions with Mr. Moyer, our consulting engineer, and Mr. Archie Rice of CH2M, it was decided to continue the work on the Pit-Con Process to the point of possible installation, should the directors so desire. The program will be to bring up to date all detailed information including analysis from State Agencies, plans and specifica- tions from Clair A. Hill and Associates so no time will be lost. We are confident that we are closer to a final solution and the foregoing program is necessary in order to arrive at a cost figure. The cost of engineering is included in the present budget." Director Fesler will work with Esgineer Harlan Moyer regarding possibilities of obtaining funds for land. RESOLUTIONS: Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Fesler, unanimously carried, that the following resolutions be adopted: RESOLUTION NO. 410 : A RESOLUTION CONFIRMING AMENDED ASSESSMENT SANITARY SEWERAGE PROJECT 52-1 RESOLUTION NO. 411: A RESOLUTION CONFIRMING AMENDED ASSESSMENT SANITARY SEWERAGE PROJECT 52-1 RESOLUTION NO. 412: A P£SOLUTION CONFIRMING AMENDED AoSESoMENT SANITARY SEWERAGE PROJECT NO. 56-1 RELEASE OF CLAIM - LAGRANGE 1960-3: Discussion was held regarding the release of John Lagrange Claim and Attorney J.

Mr. J. Ehlmett also mentioned that Lake Tahoe has the lowest tax rate in the county for a Public Utility District. · MEETING QUARTERS: Director Fesler stated that he felt the room which the Directors now use for their meetings is not adequate ~nd suggestions were made as to renting other quarters or having a public address system. General Manager Priday will check into all possibilities. PLANNING COMMITTEE - CIVIL DEFENSE: Director Fesler stated that he met with Mr. E. Fischer, Fire Chief, and later with ~General Manager Priday, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Burning of Sierra Pacific Power Company, regarding the Plant Facilities in case of a Civil Defense emergency.

Bearinqs and pins to be replaced and large screw-drive to be re-chromed.

Sewage flows for November were 27,193,000 gallons or a daily average of 905,466 gallons. DECEMBER 6, 1962 REGULAR MEETINa Or THE BOARD DIPECTORS SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTPICT Mr, Miller is still maintaining a freeboard of 11'6" in the hold[n~ pond. SERVICE CHARGES: The District is encountering considerable difficulty in col]ectin? service charges from individuals building for resale. The office has no means of determin[ne if, when, and to whom such a sale is made. We have many instances where accounts become delinquent when an owner-builder connects to the sewer and mieht take as much as a year to complete the building; however, after the olumbine is hooked to the sewer, which is in the earlv stages of construction, it is conceivable that the lines could be used. I would like to propose to the Board that consideration be given that legislation be enacted where a one year's service charge be collected at the time a permit be taken out for sewer service. This would guarantee payment until the new owner is' identified and out on the billing roll. The idea would also have a tendency to ma~e owner-builder or owner hay[ne a building built realize that the final sewer hook-up could be made at time of bu[!din~ completion. The ormit could be so wmitten." Discussion was held regarding the delinquent accounts which now exist with the District and it was decided that Attorney Weidman will draft an Ordinance and ~resent to the Board of Directors for their study as proposed bv General Wanager Pridav in ~araera~h six of h~s report. Director Wakeman accepted General Manafer Pridav's report. SEWER RELIEF MR. WALTER NIXDORF, RIP VAN WINKLE MOT~L~ RESTAURANT, BEAUTY SHOP, BARBER SHOP AND MOTEL UNITS: Mr. Walter-Nixdorf requested of the Board to relieve him of having to connect all of the above to the sewer line except the restaurant. He stated that bis seotlc tank for all other buildings'are very satisfactory. Director Fesler moved, seconded bv Director Stewart that Mr. Nixdorf be eranted h~s request. The vote was two ~ and one ~. ~.~r. Nixdorf was not Eranted his request. General Manager Pridav stated that he would suggest to ~r. Walter Nixdorf to obtain a letter from the County Health Department reEarding his problem and along with a written report from Mr. Nixdorf again appear before the board regarding his request. COYMITTEE REPORT: Director Fesler read the report which the committee studie~ regarding connections to the sewer; provisions of Ordinance No. 24, etc. - The report reads as follows: "Ordinance 24 regulates the use of an~ connection to the District sewers. The Ordinance was adopted shortly after the formation of the District and has been in effect for many years. Recently the Board of Directors have received numerous reeuests for relief from certain provisions of this ordinance, specifically those provisions recuir[ng the connection of buildings on a parcel to the public sewer. Many of the requests have been granted and the Board is faced with the prosDect of continuing requests. If, therefore, seems best to adohr a oolicv relating to the relief of connections. This committee has studied the problem and after review of the aop].ication provisions wi].] recommend certain action bv the board. The provisions of Ordinance 24 relating to connections are the following: 1. ~ection 3.5 Sewer Required: This section requires that any buildine located the District connect to th~'~blic sew~ provided that the sewer is within ~00 feet of the building. The connection is to be made at the owner's expense within 90 days after date of official notice to do so. 2. Section 5.8 ~parate Sewers: This section requires that every buildine must be separately connected by individual laterals to the sewer. An exception to this require- ment is that when one or more buildings are located on property belonging to one owner such multiple buildings may be connected through the same lateral or side sewer. This excention is valid only as long as the property remains under one ownership and seoaratlon of the property requires that the buildings be reconnected by individual laterals. The above sections are the two which concern the board as these are where oractica!lv all requests for relief occur. The general case for relief as encountered to date ~oncerns the individual who wishes to connect to the public sewer but has two or more separate buildinqs on the proDertv. For example, an individual wishes to connect the residence which is used continually and not connect a cabin which is used only ~ntermittentlv. The reason given for not connecting the cabin is that the private disposal system is adequate to handle the wastes and considerable expense would be involved to ~xtend a sewer throufh the nropertv to reach the cabin. At first glance this appears to be a perfectly valid reason and m~v ~n~ deed warrant special consideration by the board. However, two important factors are i~nored which can place the matter in an entirely different light. First, is the matter of the ordinance as written. ~v the requirements for all buildings to be connected? This might best be answered bv those individuals who oreoared and adopted the Ordinance some 10 years ago. 0bviouslv the reasoning behind such restrictions DECEMBER 6, 1962 REaUI..AR I~[EETI~IQ OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTOPS OF THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY P'ISTPICT is that the public good, the health of the community, demends on adeouate, safe measures of sewage disposal. This requires a public sewer system and the elimination of orivate sewage disposal, septic tanks and privvs, wherever nossible. Reeardless of the individuals satisfaction as to the worthiness and success of his ~ndividual system, the ever nresent danger of failure is present along with the attendant health hazard to the individual family and the community. ' Second the question of cost, or more Dronerlv economics, is neglected. The first cost of installing a sewer to serve the second house may seem apnreciable noW. However, this cost can onlv increase in the future. Added construction costs due to increased material a~ labor costs and also due to possible increases in ohvsical requirements, such as !andscan- ink and additional buildings, can all add to make the cost higher in the future and one thing is certain, the buildinK in question will eventually be connected to the nubl[c system. In conclusion, it is obvious the ordinance requirements were established for the benef! 6enefit of the community. As in any general requirement there are cases where the individual will object. However, the connection ordinance whould be maintained and enforced as it now exists to nrovide for the community welfare. Therefore, the committee recommends that the Board adopt a nolicv of ne waivers to the ordinance r~quirements except for special circumstances. These exceptions are not considered to include those based on claims of satisfactory private disposal svstems or individual cost consideration. One future note of interest is that Ordinance 24, Article VII, Sec.7.2 (~) specifically nrohibltis the disposal of sentic tank sludge into any public sewer. The intent of this provision is presently not enforced by the District. The committee further recommends that the District continue to work with the County Health Dent. to eliminate the oresent practice of septic tank sludge disposal into the treatment plant. It is further recommended that continued encouragement be given to residents of the area to connect to and utilize the public sewer to reduce the necessity for disposal of septic tank sludge." Director Stewart moved that the Committee Report above be accepted with the exception of the last two paragraphs of this report which are me~ardinK another matter. Director resler seconded and vote carried unanimously. Attorney Holtom recommended that the following be adopted: 1. CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION, SANITARY SEWERAGE FACILITIES vOR ASPE!? ePOVE ESTATES SUBDIVISION, SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT. 2.

CRESCENT "V" SUBDIVISION: Clerk of Board ;~allerv oresented a rough draft letter to the Directors for their approval which will be sent to Hoseit and Luther, Attorney's for the Crescent "V" Subdivision.
