MA~ACER'S REPORT: General Yanaeer read his report which is as follows: "YanaKer's Re9ort February 7,1963 PLAI[T OPEPATIOU: The recent storms created considerable ~rob]ems and damaee to the fol].ow~n~ facilities: The berm around the ballast ~ond washed out in five ~!aces. Area around Snarlln~ meter washed away. Prlmarv sedimentation tank collect[pR mechanism ~ammdd due to excessive debris broke shear ~ins too fast to re,!ace. The tank is heine drained to locate trouble." (General ~anaeer Pridav stated this has been taken care of and back Sm service,) "~!eter transmitter blew out mercury seal on narshall flume ~l, ~robablv due to beavv surges of water and influent. This meant considerable time s~ent transferr~ne read[nOs from flume to #2 transmitter. Both sludge drvine beds had washed out harms. Ail numo stations oneratln~ well under the impact of infiltration (whlc~ was fn excess of 5 m.g.d, over normal) cominff into Treatment Plant. HOLDIN~ PO~ID AND SPRAY DISPOSAL: Considerable erosion has taken ~lace on berm, Eight (80) feet of interceptor ~itch filled with soil and debrfs; also, one s~ot washed out. A total of 20 control irri~atlon ditches at three different levels on h~l] hav~ to be re- paired due to washes. Flow back line from interceptor ditch to oond has to be repaired. Johnson road, north and south of ~lant, damaeed and made unsafe for travel and so indicated by barricades ~laced by District ~ersonnet." (General ~ana~er Prldav stated that this has been taken care of.) "Manhole No. 1-]2 on the Beach Trunk Line at Lakevlew and North Poads was almost washed out. This could have been a ma~or ~roblem resultin~ in serious consesuences. Many manholes were under water, includin~ those access holes to the u~dercround pumping stations. Director Stewart and I made a rather extensive survey durin? the stor~ and it was our opinion that the infiltr~tlon could not have come solely from manholes. Other factors, such as floor drains, Goon ends of sewer connections (after trailers and bul].d~.nes had been moved) and the nrobabilltv of someone removine manhole covers to relieve water ccnd[tlons were heavv contributors. Due to the extensive workload out on the Treatment Plant bv storm water intrus~om, ~t mi?bt well be a consideration br the Board (as expressed bv Director Stewart) to ~ost a ~ reward for any ~erson having information that would lead to the arrest and copvlct~on of anvone using the sewage collectJon system as a ~round water drainage s~stem."

CORRESPONDENCE: FPOH: E. PEPPY TO: DIRECTORS O? THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC [!TILITY DIST=ICT "Dear Sirs: I wish you would give careful consideration before enterin~ into a new contract for sewerage disnosal for Nevada. I'm ou[te sure that such a contract to handle al! the sewerage would lead to very serious trouble in the near future for the CalJfornla residents. I think Nevada should solve their own nrob!ems by nutting in their own dlsnomal nlant. I would appreciate vour comments on this. Sincerely yours, s/ Ervln C. Perry, ~errv's ~ote!" Central ;{ana~er Pridav will acknowledge rece~mt of Hr. E.G. Perr~,,'s letter. General }~ana~er Pridav stated that ~eo~le sheu!d realize that Nevada nays of every dollar that the District is being taxed for. Should Nevada decided to humid facilities of their own, this District would have to absorb the ~0% er an 25 to 30 cents on their tax rate.

MANAGER'S REPORT: Oeneral Hanager Oriday read bis renort which is as follows: "t~AIAGER'S PEPORT FEBRUARY 21, 1963 "PLANT OPERATION: Almost immediately after the storm subsided, the flow throueh the treat= ment nlant went back to normal. This tends to 4ustifv our theory that the infiltration is from surface run-off and not through the sub-surface collection s-stem. We are contlnuip~ our efforts to shut out surface infiltration by closer insoection on onen end lines, drains, and coverin~ additional manholes sub~ect to water run-off. We lost about three feet of freeboard in the holdin? nond due to excessive run-off. If favorable weather holds for the next two weeks, we can draw the nond donna aea~n. The oond now has 9'-5-1/2" of freeboard. CENEPAI. INFOPP~ATION: The office has had a number of neon]e object to extra insn~ction fees. These extra insnections are due to imorooer and imcomnlete installations. If the {nsta]l=r calls for an insnection with the intent of Rettin? bv with somethln?, or when the hook-un is not comolete, it necessitates an extra insnection and thus the additional cbaree. contractor knows this and the oeonle hiring the work done should not make final navment until any question of extra charges is cleared. It should not be the resnonslbi!~tv of prcnertv owner to Day for extra inspections due to mistakes made by contractors. A soecial meeting was called bv the California Water Comnact Commission yesterday,Wednesday, February 20, 1963, to discuss with the South Tahoe Public Utilltv District certain aspects relating to exportation of reclaimed water. It is ~uite aooarent that co~slderabte confusion arose when the two commissions tried to answer a recent request from this Distr~ct and the Nevada District to export effluent out of the Lake Tahoe Basin. As t~e Comnact now stands, it nrohibits any sewage effluent from ?oin~ into Lake Tahoe or its tributaries and, in turn, it makes it nracticall¥ imoossible to exoort same from the Basin. It is our contention that the comoact should be flexible enou?h to make allowances for cban~ne conditions and treatment methods during the years to come. After more than two hours of discussion, it was aRreed by the California Comnact Commission to bold in abeyance any action on our request until a study was made of the basin Surve~ Penort now heine made b,, the Lake Tahoe Area Council." Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Stewart, unanimously carried, that the ,ana?er's Reoort be aporoved as read.

COMMITTEE REPORT: PL.ANNING COMMITTEE "The planning committee met on Feb 25, 1963, and again on March 6, 1~6.3. Both of these meetings involved further study of the three general problem areas presentl? under considera- tion by the District, namely financing of additional facilities, advisability of construction of tertiary treatment facilities, and a prooosed second amendment to the agreement for ~oint disposal of sanitary sewage. A decision was reached by the planning committee relative to financing and this decision was expressed by a motion made by Director Stewart and seconded by Manager Priday as follows: "The planning committee recommends to the Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility District that immediate action be taken to make application for a Public Law 660 Grant." The motion was passed unanimously. The South Tahoe Public Utility District presently has a high priority based on financial need and pollution points such that favOrable action on our application is more than possible. The application tentatively is based on $900,000 Construction costs and a total pro~ect cost of $1,11B,500. of which ~0% or $3~4,050. may be available in 660 law funds. It is to be emphasized that application for a Public Law 660 Grant must be oostmarked no later than March 80, 1968 and this is the reason that immediate board action is necessary. B? making this application the district is not bound to proceed with the proposed construction or spend any particular amount of money. The application must be made now if it is going to be made at all this year, and once made and approved the financing for whatever future pro~ects are decided upon by the board will be materially resolved.

MANAGER's REPORT: PLANT OPERATIONS: General Manager Priday read the following report: "Manager's Report ~,, _Mar~h ~,1963 _ Holding pond freeboard - 9 feet 7 inches Total flow to this date for March - 20,727,000 gallons Average daily flow - 1,036,350 gallons The secondary sludge collector is still out of operation awaiting parts. The No. 2 blower is inoperative waiting for shaft alignment and fan balancing by manufacturer. GENERAL ITEMS~. Mr. Mallery, Office Manager and Clerk of Board, called a meeting of our district auditors and the Nevada district auditor to study and clarify certain charges being billed to the Nevada district. The points in question appear to have been rssolved byvthose present at the meeting. A report will be forthcoming to the directors so they can take action on policy matters that will influence the final billing to be made. t would like to point out to those people who might be inclined to jump at conclusions that the aforementioned meeting was to clarify existing chmrges under the existing contract. There appears to be an upward trend in business possibilities in South Tahoe as indicated by the number of inquiries we have had from interested developers as to the capabilities of this district to handle their proposed sewage needs. In all cases, they have been advised that the district is in a position to service their requirements. Un- fortunately in some instances, the inquiry had to do with lands excluded from the district and this fact might very well deter development. An interested financier does not want to become entangled with a lot of conditions against a property. ~ They want a package all tied up neatly. This phase of the district problems will be resolved very shortly when the latest annexation of excluded parcels is completed. I believe it is most beneficial to the economy of this area to pursue our opportunity:es* with this positive approach, *WEBSTER(opportunity - a favorable juncture of c~rcumstances)" REGULAR MEETING March 21, 1963 (cont.)

WE WOULD MUCH PREFER THIS UTILITY DISTRICT TO PUBLISH THEFFACTS AND FIGURES REGARDING THIS SANITARY DISTRICT, AND THE AGREEMENT WITH THE NEVADA UTILITY DISTRICT. IF WE CAN HAVE THESE FIGURES BEFORE APRIL 1, 1963 IT WILL BE APPRECIATED. WE SOLICIT AND URGE YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER. WILLIAM JOHNSON JOHN J. GERKEN BOB CLARKE C.F. BRANDI LOUIS RUSSO" ERWIN C. PERRY DAVID A. DOWNER JAY CRAMER M.F. SPRINGMEYER Mr. E.C.Perry asked the Directors if some arrangement has been reached regarding the contract this District has with the Nevada district. President Clarke stated that the two District's are in the process of discussion and nothing definite has been decided at this time. Mr. Clarke further stated that this contract is discussed many times with the Nevada district. Mr. E.C. Perry also stated that the California side is going through and will continue to go through a surplus of rentals, etc., and Nevada will gain all by their building and renting for lower rents~ etc. Director Wakeman stated that he is not in agreement with Mr. E.C.Perry and that he expects to see a 'boom' here at the Lake (South Shore of Lake Tahoe - California) and that in his private business he has had may srequests for cost estimates on motel units and/or apartment units. President Clarke stated that we do have a contract with the Douglas County Sewer Improvement District No. 1, and they are allowed to so much flow and for every gallon over the flow that is agreed to in the contract - Nevada does pay for. Regarding the building which Mr. Del Webb will construct and the one which Harrah's will possibly construct, President Clarke stated that this District will meet the problem when _ it arrives. Director Stewart stated that this District takes care of SANITARY CONDITIONS in this and the Directors are not in a position to take care of or to control the building which is going on or the surplus rentals that might be at the South Shore of Lake Tahoe. This will be handled through the Planning Commission or the State Legislature. This district has a contract with Nevada that allows them so much flow and they pay for any flow over which the contract states. Discussion was held with Mr. E.C. Perry and the Directors in which Mr. Perry stated that the contract will become void when amended. It was mentioned to Mr. Perry that the contract does not become void when amended. MARCH 21, 1963 REGULAR MEETING Clerk of Board Mallery will publish a statement showing revenue and expenditures of the last preceeding fiscal year and the source of such revenue and the purpose of such expenditures as certified to by the District's accountants and auditors - Irvine & Duce, Placerville, Calif.

Director Kortes moved, seconded by Director Wakeman, unanimously carried that the mike stand be sold to Mr. W.D.Isom in the amount of $8,87. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS: General Manager Priday recommended that the claims in the amount of $~i"8,854.36 be approved for payment.

MANAGER,S RE~ORT_: General Manager Priday read his report which is as follows: ' " "MANAGER'S REPORT APRIL 11, 1963 PLANT OPERATION: Holding pond freeboard - 10 ft 6 in. Total flow through plant for March - 33,044,000 gallons Daily average for March - 1,065,000 gallons Total flow from Nevada District - 5,891,400 gallons Daily average from Nevada District - 190,036 gallons Chlorineeuse for March - 5,200 lbs. Daily average - 168 lbs. Propane use for March - 195,897 cu. ft. Daily average - 6,312 cu ft PERSONNEL: Mr. Lee Miller, Inspector and Maintenance Foreman for the District since December 6, 1956, has resigned as of April 1, 1963, serving the District well in this capacity for six and one-half years. I would like to ~ubticlv thank Lee for h~s untiring efforts during the trials and tribulations of this District."(Letter to be written to Mr. A.L. Miller). "Mr. George Hart, a maintenance man with the District since June 16, 1960, has been promoted to maintenance foreman and is well ~ualified for the position. GENERAL: Recently, action was taken bv the Board of Directors of this District to a~lv for a grant of funds from the Federal Government to construct certain facilities to alleviate the ever present ~roblem of effluent disposal. April 4th last, the Directors, Manager and Engineer were called to Sacramento to discuss the request with the State Water Pollution Control Board and the U.S.Public Health Service. Mr. Paul Bonderson, Executive Officer, of the State Water Pollution Control Board, conducted the meeting. He questioned the advisability of our including the Tertiary Treatment program in the application for funds. His preference appeared to be that a separate application should be made covering this phase only. He reasoned that the process needed further study and it might not be compatible with any solution the Lake Tahoe Area Council study would recommend. The South Tahoe Public Utility District countered with the fol6owing reasons for including the Tertiary Treatment in the program and request. The process is the lease expensive and best proven means of treating the effluent to a point of purity where the lands now available to the District for disposal could accept greater quantities of water than that method now being used. The big problem existing today is the inability of the land, now being sprayed upon, to accept any great quantity of water due to the suspended solids in the effluemt. The Water Pollution Control Board issued a 'Cease and Desist' order because the effluent ran off the spray area into an adjoining stream. As far as the Area Council studies are concerned, full consideration will bg given to whatever solution may be suggested; however, considerable time will elapse before any suggested solution becomes law bv both States involved. The solution might very well be the right one on paper, but in order to actuate it -monev will be the factor, and the ability of the taxpavers to support it. In the interim, sewage still has ~o be collected, treated and disposed of and the Directors of this District are doing everything within their power to fullfil that responsibility. Mr. Earl Thouren from the U.S.Public Health Service flatly said thev would not certify any grant of funds for any portion of the project that would be constructed on Forest Lands under the proposed land use agreement. He said the term of the use ~ermit is too short and we must get the Forest Service to agree to a renewable lease for the 'expected life of the project'. This particular question has already been fought out and we can only get a five- vear permit. Mr. Thouren has been asked if he would check with the U.S. Forest Service, who are in the same Federal Building, and come to some determination. Here again the Utility District is fighting an uphill battle - sandwiched between two Federal Agencies. We again might have to ask Congressman "Bizz" Johnson to intercede in our behalf. We hope that the ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING -2- APRIL 1!, 1963 MANAGER' S REPORT (CON.T_.) two agencies can see the fact that if the U.S. Public Health Service grants any funds the District will pay it back in rent to the U.S.Forest Service. This certainly is not the full text of the meeting but only the principle noints of disucssion. Many important decisions for the growth of this area hang in the balance and can only be determined after some of these Herculean opportunities are overcome. I would like to thank Mr. Harlan Moyer, engineer for the District, for hisssincere efforts and fine dissertations in behalf of the District during the Sacramento meeting." Director Stewart moved, seconded by Director Fesler, unanimously carried, that the Manager's Report be approved. CO?RES~ONDEN~E: Clerk of Board Mallery read the following letter from the Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce: --7' Gentlemen: The California Water Pollution Control Association invites your attendance to the 35th Annual Conference to be held at the Miramar Hotel in Santa Barbara on April 24-27, 1963. This Association has been in existence 6or 35 years, having been formed for the purpose of improving the oerformance of those who are responsible for the operation of sewers and the operation of sewage and waste treatment olant. We are enclosing a cody of the outline of the Technical pmogram and ask that you particularly note the Short School on Wednesday April 24 for Sewer Maintenance personnel and Treatment Plant Operators. These will be conducted by experts in their field. The General Conference which follows will cover a wide range of subjects by speakers who have had many years of experience in Water Pollution Control. It is not necessary to hold membership in the Association in order to attend and benefit from the Conference. You are therefore cordially invited to send one or more representatives to the meeting. s/ Fred G. Nelson, Publicity Chairman" General Manager Priday stated that Mr. W. C. Taylor will attend this conference, and if any of the Directors are interested to please notify him as he does not feel he can attend the conference. PLANNING COMMITTEE: Director Fesler, Chairman of the Planning Committee, stated that the co'm~i'~e' ~e't o~ March 25, 1963, and discussed the Special Use Permit. This permit is not completed and Director Fesler mentioned that originally this permit was based on 200 acres of land, (some of the land could not be used) and it is now based on 180 acres of land less a buffer strip of 35.4 acres or a total of 144.55 acres for which we will be charged. The original rent on this property was $12,000.00 and it is now $8,673.00. The effective date of this rent for the 144.55 useable acres will be July 1, 1963. Director Fesler further stated that approvals are needed from the Lahontan Regional Water Pollution Control Board and E1 Dorado County Health Department, U.S.Public Health Service and the State Department of Water Resources, before this permit is completed. Director Fesler also stated that the Planning Committee has been very active with the Nevada Amendments and stated that both the Douglas County Improvement District Board and the South Tahoe Public Utility District Board have reviewed an agreement drafted originally by the South Tahoe Public Utility District and re,rafted bv the Nevada District. In order to expedite the final drafting of this agreement, Director Fesler moved that the Attorneys and Engineers and the General Manager for the respective Districts compose the final draft, as a Committee, and present same to the two Boards for review and final action. Director Kortes seconded and the vote carried unanimously. EASEMENT COMMITTEE (Director Stewart) The following is the reoort as read by the 'C~airman"~'f' th~ 'Lan~d Committee and/or Easement Committee, - Director Stewart: "The easement committee met on March 27, 1963. ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING -3- APRIL 11, 1963 EASEMENT COMMI?T.E~E. P!E..p.0.RT (~con$. )~_ Those present were Director Fesler, Manager W. F. Pridav, Attorney Weidman, and T.L. Stewart as Chairman. This being the first meeting of the present easement committee, and due to the lack of knowledge of this subject matter on the part of Director Fesler and myself, the first course of action was a complete briefing given to us by the other two members of this committee. I It was first determined that past easement matters were handled by Attorney Hughes and Mr. H. Reeves, a Right=of-Way Agent, employed by this District, and after the employment of thes~ representatives expired, all easements matters and problems were delegated to our Attorney by board action, which brings us up to the present time. It was also concluded that over the past years the District has obtained some 200 easements, of which some twenty are still pending settlement. Approximately one-half are collection lines and the other one-half are force mains. We also found that there are monies being held in Trust by the Superior Court of this County, which were intended for use to settle pending easement claims, which were oosted for this District by Attorney Hughes in the event these claims had to be settled in court. Exactly how much money is being held in Trust is being determined and will be reoorted later. At this time, we know it is not a great amount, for only a minimum sum was required, but could be released by the court to settle pending claims out of court. It was further determined that a few of the pending easement claims are with individuals residing here at the Lake year around or part time and constitutes many of our larger easement cases still pending. From this information, we have compiled two recommendations, which we would like to present to this board. (1) Since the chore of settling all easement matters was delegated solely to our Attorney by past board action, we would like your approval, so as to allow us to openly assist Attorney Weidman on a local level. By this we mean to contact those individuals with claims still pending residing locally, and try to reach a settlement. If this is not possible, then to place this matter in the hands of the court, because several of these cases have been pending for too long a time and it appears to have everyone confused, which has lead to negative public relations." Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that Director Stewa~t's recommendation (#1) be approved. " (2) That we make use of the money that is being held in trust by the Suo~rior Court for each one of the pending easement claims if we are able to settle these claims out of court. It is our understanding that this money can be used for this purpose. We further understand all settlements must be approved by this board." Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that Director Stewart's recommendation (#2) be approved. Director Stewart stated "I would like to add a personal remark. I believe our Attorney and Management have done a pretty good job, considering they have had to shoulder this chore darn near single handed." TUNZ.IxCAPUT0 ~SEMEN~: Attorney Weidman requested approval of claim for $1,500.00 to settle the easement for Tunzi-Caputo. Attorney Weidman stated that the District does have the grant of easement and there is one exception included in this, which is as follows: "THE EASEMENT IS NOT TO BE USED FOR AN ADDITIONAL PIPE LINE OR FORCE MAIN." Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Stewart, unanimously carried, that this easement- claimm in the amonnt of $1,500.00 for Tunzi-Caputo be approved for payment providing the Title Company guarantees this grant is an insurable one. Following discussion regarding the 660 Application, General Manager Priday recommended the claims in the amount of $6,211.63 be approved for payment. Director Fesler moved, seconded by Director Stewart, unanimously carried, that the checks in the amount of $6,211.63 be approved for payment as recommended bv the General Manager.

I would like to commend the men "on the hill" for the fine job they are doing for the District in keeping the pond down this entire year. GENERAL: As reported last week, Mr. Earl Thouren - Chief of Construction Grants for the U. S. Public Health Service - was asked to talk with the U. S. Forest Service about Government policies concerning terms on Land Use Permits. I talked with Mr. Thouren Wednesday A.M. last, and he assured me he would make every effort to establish a mutual understanding between the two agencies. I also took the opportunity to discuss the tertiary treatment question he had as to its evaluation by their Advanced Waste Treatment Research Branch in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was brought to his attention that the Pit con Pilot Plant was in operation when two gentlemen, Dr. Stepha~ and ~r. Masse, from the Research Branch visited here April 25, 1962. It was brought to his attention that the process was not unfamiliar to them as Dr. Stephan and Mr. Masse had spent some time with Mr. Moyer going over the entire process. Mr. Thouren indicated this in- formation would be most helpful in the evaluation of the Tertiary Treatment request. We have been in contact with Mr. Manoukian, Attornev for Nevada District, in regard to the final draft of an amended agreement. A meeting of the committee will be set for next week. Mr. Bliss was notified Wednesday last that a sewer line on Saddle Road of his sub- division had stopped up and was running out of a man hole.

Stewart, as Chairman, met with Mr. Penn Barklev in regards to a pending easement claim, Parcel No. 10151-No. 4, and explained to Mr. BarkleV the intentions of this Committee which he welcomed and appeared to be very much in favor of. The easement in question was explained, through the use of the joint data reoort, illustrating maps and specific information sheets. An offer was made for a Grant of Easement, subject to this board anproval, in the amount of $830.56 which is the amnunt now being held in Trust by th~ Sunerior Court of this County, for the settlement of claims.

The meeting was adjourned with the understanding and request that we forward to Mr. Barkley a Grand of Easement, stipulating restrictions for his consideration. Unless, there becomes a great difference of understanding, this Committee hopes to settle this claim in the not to distant future with Mr. Barklev.

The only questionsbrought forth by Mr. Johnson were in r~gards to trees that were removed and the restrictions that would apply on behalf of the District. The question was answered by our Manager. The meeting was adjourned with the understanding and request that we forward to Mt. Johnson a Grant of Easement for his consideration. At this time, this committee w~hes to recommend to this b6ard that our Attorney draft a Grant of Easement, setting forth, as instructed by our Manager, restrictions he deems necessary and forward same to Mr. Johnson for his consideration." Director Kortes moved, seconded by Director Wakeman, unanimously carried that the above recommendation made by the Easemnt Committee be approved. "April 25, 1963, the Easement Committee, consisting of Director Fesler, Manager Priday and myself - Thomas L. Stewart - as Chairman, met with Mr. Harvey Gross in regard to pending easement Parcel No. 10151 - No. 6, and stated our position and purpose. The eubject matter was discussed and this meeting was adjourned with the understanding and request that we forward to Mr. Gross a Grant of Easement setting forth restriction we deem necessary and an offer for this particular easement since no offer was made by this Committee. Because of the need to determine further facts in this case, which are not perfectly clear at this time, in the description and illustration of this particular ease- ment which we are or were not aware of prior to meeting with Mr. Gross, but are now in the process of clarifying which could very possiblely save this district a considerable amount of money. This is the end of this report and we have no recommendation at this time, but hope to have one for the next regular meeting of this board." PAYMENT OF CLAIMS: Director Fesler moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that the claims in the amount of $6,912.67 be approved for payment as recommended by General Manager Priday. / ADJOUmNMENT: 9:00 P.M. , ~ ~ ~' ' //z ~[ DONALD L.

MANAGER'S REPORT:General Manager Priday'read his report which is as follows: "PLANT OPERATION: All three blowers have now been completely serviced and repaired by factory personnel. Clarifier is still out of service. We are waiting for professional advice from Mr. Ken McCaslin from the Amer-Coat Company as to whether or not it would be adviseable to line the tank.

LAND USE PERMIT: As of this date the District has not received letters from the following agencies relative to our request to wit: 'March 27, 1963 State of California Department of Public Health REGULAR MEETING May 16, 1963 MANAGER'S REPORT CONT. 631 "J" Street Sacramento 14, California Gentlemen: The South Tahoe Public Utility District is formulating an agreement with the United States Forest Service to rent certain lands for effluent spray disposal. As a condition of this Land Use Permit, it is necessary for this district to get your approval for this use inso- far as the effect of health and sanitation of the general area is concerned. This land is in addition to that which this district is now using under p~rmit for spray disposal of effluent. The enclosed map will serve to identify the land in question. Your early response will expedite our plans and arrangements for the subject Land Use Permit. Very truly yours, SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT s/ W. F. PRIDAY General Manager cc: Lahontan Regional Water Pollution Control Board E1 Dorado County Department of Health' These letters are necessary in order to comply with condition #16 of the permit, to wit: "16. Applicant shall furnish d6Cu~entaryevidence~'tha~ its pr6p6~al~ihJs' approval of the following agencies insofar as the effect of health and sanitation of the general area is concerned: a. Lahontan Regional Water Pollution Control Board b. E1 Dorado County Department of Health c. Calioz~nia State Department of Health" I cannot see any reason for such delays on the part of agencies who on one hand insist on the district getting moee adequate lands for spray disposal and in turn appearing reluctant to do their part in helping us fulfill their own requirements. BEPTIC TANKS: A more restrictive proceedure has been put into effect regarding septic tank re- moval. No sewer connection will be passed by the District until the septic tank, on the property having such connection is properly emptied of sewage, filled with sand, limed or any other means found necessary by the inspector to completely obliterate the septic tank. Any final line inspection will include the tank inspection and no releases will be given unless both items are approved. EXTRA INSPECTION FEES: The Manager's Report of February 21 last brought out the reasons for extra inspection fees and that the property owner should not be penalized by a Contractors poor workmanship. We are instigating a new proceedure wherein the Contractor will be personally liable for extra inspections. If a Contractor or p~rson making an installation requires extra inspections, he will have to prepay the fee before the inspection is made. Release of the installation will not be made until all inspection fees are paid. If there appears to be any differences of opinions about this proceedure we can go back to our original requirement and get up to $100.00 deposit on the permit and then refund the difference when the work is complete. The property owner is the person we intend to protect, to the best of our ability, from poor workmanship and extra financial burdens." General Manager Priday stated that the Agencies mentioned they needed more time to study the district's request, and that he was also told that the one rgquiremsnt or restriction that would be placed on this would be that a fence must surround the area. Director Fesler moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that the Manager's Report be accepted.

Clerk of Board Mallery stated that the District records show ' no pro6f of having received any money covering annexation costs for the property owned by Mr. Leonardo. Director WaReman stated this could be another case where the Contractor has connected the property to the sewer line and did not obtain a permit and mentioned to Mr. George Leonardo that the District is asking for the Assessment in the amount of $998.64 and that his property has never been a part of the District. (2) WILLIAM V. D.

Mention was made that this petition could have been filed but %he annexation never was approved. This parcel of Mrs. Smith's was never included in the district and was definitely an excluded parcel. Mrs. Smith stated she wished to protest until she knew definitely what her charges would be for this assessment. Mr. Harlan Moyer stated that her charges will be as those on her notice, less approximately $100.00.

J.un~..lO.~ !.9.6.3.: Those present were Manager Priday, Attorney Weidman, Director Fesler and myself, Director Stewart, as Chairman. ~ The first subject on the Agenda was the final draft of the GROSS EASEMENT, which was approved and an offer of $452.20 is being made for this easement. It was the findings of this committee that the size of the GROSS EASEMENT could and should be reduced to approximately one-half of the original siz~~ ~or~ ~istance of 390' which would be and will save the District approximately $200.00 to $250.00. Dr...Whitel[ request: We have no recommendation to make at this time in regards to the re- quest of Dr. Whitely due to need of additional information fmmm the ElDorado County Road Dept.

Present were Director Stewart, Attorney Weidman, Engineer H.Moyer, Manager Priday, and Chair- man Fesler. Also present was Don Richardson of the press. Invited by mail andpersonal phone call was County Sanitarian Taylor but he did not attend. A report by Harlan Moyer was presented and discussed involving the following points: (1) Contiguous annexations should be accomplished in an orderly manner; (2) non=contiguous annexations of small isolated undeveloped subdivisions are not desirable both from a financial standpoint and from the problems of service;(3) present annexation fees are entirely inadequate;(4) contiguous areas annexation fees should range from $300 to $600 per acre, based on current capital investment. Ail coTnmittee members were in agreement that future annexations must be acoomplished with a view toward overall planning considering the Regional Planning Commission, E1 Dorado County Planning Commission and other affected public entities, such as Fire Distr~ct, etc. = ..... Attorney Weidman was requested to draw up a RESOLUTION tying in the matter of annexations with the overall master planning for the area." Attorney Weidman requested the following resolution be adopted: RESOLUTION NO, 444: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBL'i'C-TOILi'TY' DI'STRI'CT DETERMINING THAT THE ANNEXATION OF CERTAIN TERRITORY WILL NOT FACILITATE THE ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, COMPLETION, OR OPERATION OF ANY PUBLIC UTILITY WORKS OR WILL NOT BE FOR THE ADVANTAGE OF THE DISTRICT. "This committee recommends the adoption of the aforementioned resolution as presented by Attorney Weidman. The Committee further recommends that the Attorney be instructed by the Boadd to prepare an Ordinance amending Ordinance #51, increasing annexations fees, $200 an acre over the existing Ordinance structure. Fees to be: 1963 - $100 to $300 1964 - 1965 --- $200 to $400 ~ 1965 and after ...... $500 Rhairman Pro Tem Wakeman instructed Attorney Weidman to draw up the Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 51 as recommended by the Planning Committee.

R~BERT ~AKEMAN, CHAIRMAN PRO TEM SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT N. R. MA~LERY, 'cL'~'RK 'OF BOARD AN~¢ EX-OFFICIO SECRETARY ~ SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DIS ICT JUNE 20, 1963 REGULAR MEETING ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT JUNE 27, 1963 The Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility District met in an adjourned session June 27, 1963, 8:00 P.M. ROLL CALL: Present were President Clarke, Directors Wakeman, Fesler, Kortes and Stewart. Also present were General Manager Priday, Clerk of Board Mallery, Attorney J. Weidman, Engineer H. Moyer, W. C. Taylor, L. Shoupe, Donald Richardson. President Clarke called the meeting to order at 8:00 P.M. and he also complimented Director Wakeman for his manner in conducting the meetings during his absence. MANAGER'S REPORT: General Manager Priday read his report which is as follows: "Manager"s Repmrt June 27, 1968 PLANT OPERATION: Holding Pond freeboard 5'11". should get a special thanks for a job well done. the pond is gaining in freeboard. Again I think the 'men on the hill' Even though the flows are increasing The time delay mechanism, built by Mr. Taylor, Supt. of Plant Operations, and installed on the spray pumps is working as anticipated. The mechanism allows time for the spray system to drain before the pumps go on again after a power failure. Heretofore, the pumps were manually turned on after having to drain the lines. It has been necessary to drain the lines after the pumps shutoff so the piping will not fail, due to movement from pump pressure, because the lines are on top of ground and have a minimum of anchorage. I would like to recommend to the Board that Link Road be paved over to Mr. Perry's fence for the full length of the District's easement to the pump station. By so doing, it will benefit the District and the residents using the road as it is very narrow and particularly difficult to travel during inclement weather. The subject work would only involve the District right-of-way. Approximate cost - $400.00. I would like to recommend to the Board that the plant and inspection personnel be uniformed. I feel by putting uniforms on the plant personnel, it would upgrade the individual by keeping uniformity and cleanliness to a higher degree. In fact it has been suggested by the Industrial Accident Commission that it could be a safe guard against an employees family being subjected to impurities by having to change from his working clothes and showering before leaving plant. By putting the inspectors in uniforms it would help identify them as District personnel and make their entree to the public more official. We have investigated the uniform service and it is as follows: This concern furnishes seven (7) uniforms per man. The name is put on the shirts at no extra cost to the District. Any District insignia that we might want on the shirts would be an extra cost to the District. The cost per man for the uniform service would be approximately $2.70 per man per week. Seven (7) uniforms per week, per man, are furnished. Three (3) will be in the laundry at ail times. Three (3) will be worn by the man during the week (a clean uniform every other morning) and the fourth (4th) will be put on Friday morning when the laundry will exchange three (3) clean uniforms for three (3) dirty uniforms. They have a selection of approximately (8) eight colors to choose from or they can arrange any com~ination of colors from the basic colors supplied that the District might want. Uniforms needed: 11 - operating and maintenance ? ~- inspectors 13 Total @$2.70 per man - $35.10 per week." RDCOMMENDATIONS OF GENERAL MANAGER PRIDAY: (1) ~[LI~K~0AD: Director Stewart moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that General Manager Priday's recommenda- tion be accepted. (2) RE UNIFORMS: Director Kortes moved, seconded by Director Stewart, unanimously carried, that General Manager Priday's recommendation to obtain theuniforms be approved. Director Fesler moved, seconded by Director Wakeman, unanimously carried, that the Manager's Report be accepted. Page 2 June 27, 1963 Adjourned Meeting Mention was made re the Lake Tahoe Area Council Report. It was stated that no report was received by the District. In answer to the question as to the District's opinion of the Lake Tahoe Area Council Report, Engineer ti. Moyer stated that the report did not state anything regarding cost or how it would affect the South Tahoe area, and it is not possible for the District to give an opinion at this time. Director Fesler stated that the intention of this meeting was to discuss the future plans of the District and that because it will be sometime ~efore the District can use the Forest Service land, he questioned the advisability of the entire U.S.Forest Service program. Engineer H. Moyer stated that land disposal or any other means is not their recommended answer to effluent disposal and the plan was to assure the protection of the Lake from pollution at the present time and near foreseeable future. After reviewing the files (re 660 Application) and what was said at the meeting which all Directors attended at Sacramento, Mr. Moyer stated that Mr. Bonderson stated the District application was: (1) a grant on effluent pump stations and force main; )2) land disposal system; (37 in addition to the treatment plant, provide a better effluent for land disposal as well as increasing the effluent from the plant which would be Tertiary Treatment. Mr. Moyer also stated that it would be to the District's advantage to provide a better treatment of effluent. Mr. Moyer stated that the Health Service stated they do approve the portion that relates to Tertiary Treatment and have not stated if they will approve the part that relates to the Forest Service Land Use. Also, Mr. Moyer stated that he understood the Health Service w~ould notify the district in time for the application to be changed if they will not approve the portion for the Forest Land Use. The District is still under the Cease and Desist Order issued by the Lahontan Regional Water Pollution ?Control Board and that the LRWPCB does not aare what type of treatment is given the effluent - - their concern is that the effluent be confined to the disposal site only. Also, Mr. Moyer stated that by Tertiary Treatment many of the nutrients would be removed, possibly eliminate the sewage disposal by land methods, eliminate the odors, and there will be no A.B.S. in the effluent. However, Mr. Moyer stated, land disposal is necessary and the District will have to abide by the request. In order to use land disposal and make it successful the effluent will be treated to a higher degree. Nutrients will be removed that could cause this disposal to the lake - - this is the entire program the grant was set up for. In order to get help, the grant had to be made be- case of the cause of the problem we have with land disposal. Engineer Moyer stated that the expansion project for the district will cover: (1) force main and pumping station Est. $150,000[ (2) additional holding ponds and spray disposal facilities ---Est $150,000; (3) Tertiary treatment plant - - - $600,000 Total costs ..... $1,113,500 Engineer Moyer presented the plans and specifications to the Board and stated that the plans are not in formal form but must be submitted describing the intended use. The plans and specifications for the Tertiary Treatment will be submitted in final form in approximately four (4) months. These plans are needed to accompany the Forest Service Use Permit Mr. Moyer stated and suggested that they are not submitted until all necessary documents are ready to be sent to the Forest Service. Mr. Moyer also stated that the Directors have to decide whether or not they want to plan for the Tertiary Treatment, and ..... if so, this will produce an effluent that is better than now. Also, if the District wishes to take advantage of the 30% Federal funds, the engineer should be authorized to go ahead with the plans and specifications for the Tertiary Treatment, which will take apprdximately four (4) months to prepare in final form. PAGE 3 June 27, 1963 - ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING Mr. Moyer also stated that if the District is going to continue with land disposal the same problems will be faced as are faced now. Right now, we have to continue with land disposal because it is the only form that is approved by the Lahontan Water Regional ~ollution Control Board, and they are the ones that have set the standards and require= ments. Mr. Moyer also stated that with proper treatment and dangers of pollution will be eliminated and this area will be an atDraction for the South Shore. The effluent will then be good, clear, pure water because it will meet the standards required for drinking water. Mr. Priday stated that Mr. Elwood Johnson stated he felt the Tertiary Treatment was an excellent idea and he is in hopes of being able to use this in Lake Christopher. Mr. Moyer stated the only reason this is being put on land is because there is no other place to put the effluent. General Manager Priday stated that many people will use the effluent if treated by the Tertiary Treatment and that the U.S.Forest Service would use it but cannot use it with the present treatment the effluent is given. Director Wakeman stated that by going Tertiary Treatment we will be doubling the capacity of the plant. He then asked if - "We are thinking of the development of Lake Tahoe? If so, why don't we think big enough about paying for the development of Lake Tahoe? Why don't we get outside help" Why don't we present our problem to a higher pgwer?" General Manager Priday stated that all authorities that could be contacted regarding our problem have been written to - such as Governor Brown, Governor Sawyer, Congreeman "Bizz" Johnson, etc. President Clarke stated that the outside world is not allowing us to solve our problem; they are telling us what we can or cannot do and I think they should pay for the privilege of apeaking their piece. Director Stewart moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried that the Engineer be authorized to prepare and submit plans and specifications on the basis of the program as outlined re 660 Fund and our Use Permit, Pump Stations, Force Mains, Spray Disposal; also, the Tertiary Treatment Plans, which will take four (4) months to prepare. Upon receipt of these plans, submit to the agencies requesting them. Discussion was held as to requesting an audience with the U.S.Public Health Service. Director Stewart stated that he would like to have our Manager authorized to contact the heads of the agencies and set up a meeting in regards to the 660 Funds. President Clarke instructed our Manager to contact the agencies and set up a meeting with Mr. Bonderson, Thourene, and the Representative from the Forest Service. COMMITTEE REPORTS: Director Stewart stated that Tuesday, June 25, the committee - General Manager Priday, Director Fesler, and Director Stewart met. Discussed were: (1) ALVA BARTON EASEMENT: An offer was made to Alva Barton in the amount of $540.00 to settle th'is cla'i~'.'" ~i~'Ba~ton will accept this amount and Director Stewart recommended that this easement claim be settled in the amount of $540.00. Director Wakeman seconded, unanimously carried. (2) KNOX JOHNSON - ESTATE: Director Stewart stated that at the present time there is an easement that has been pending for a number of years which is in the Johnson acres - Lots 10 and 11. This was discussed with Mr. Knox Johnson and Mr. William V. D. Johnson. There are three different pipe lines that the District encroached on the property in front of the plant which is 40' by 100' long, and for which the District has a right-of- way. We discussed the outright purchase of this property, which is the lot in front of the plant(Johnson Road), at .10¢ square foot and we can make the purchase instead of procuring the granting of an easement. This purchase will give the District ownership of l~nd contiguous to the existing boundaries of the South Tahoe Public Utility District anda allow the annexation of the plant property to the District. This annexation will eliminate the assessing of the District property by the County. Total figure to settle this with the Johnson Estate is $7,100.00. - Director Stewart moved, seconded by Director Wakeman, unanimously carried, that the District follow through with this and request the Johnson Estate to annex the 71 acres to the District in consideration of the settlement of this easement and have title to the land in PAGE 4 June 27, 1963, Adj. Regular Meeting. front of the plant. General Manager Priday stated that we will make a petition describing their land and ours and have them sign their portion of it and will sign our portion and have them t° petition · Attorney Weidman will enter into an arrangement for court approval. CITY AIRPORT: Discussion was held regarding effluent to be used at the Lake Tahoe Airport. This was turned over to the Planning Committee and Mr. Malmolm Wordell will be advised of the decision made. Being that July 4, 1963, is a regular meeting night and also is Independence Day - the Ordinance calls for a meeting the Friday following - which is July 5, 1963, 8:00 P.M., at the Tahoe Valley Fire House.
