The guest house and the main house are on separate, lots. The guest house is not built to house a family and the facilities are not such that a ~amily could live in this house permanently. Dr. Ellen Brown requested that consideration be given to her to enable her to have the guest house and the main house (both on separate parcels) tied into one connection. Mr. Moyer stated that the District Ordinance requires a separate connection for each parcel and in the case of Dr. Ellen Brown there is a lot for each dwelling. Each lot has a lateral. This is to prevent future difficulties of possible splits of property. The connection could, however, be more economically made if one lateral could be used; however~ Mr. Moyer stated that the ORDINANCE is sound and that he would hesitate to make a recommendation against the ORDINANCE.

Dr. Ellen Brown stated that she felt the Directors were overlooking the fact of good faith and also overlooking the fact that if the property is sold, the new owners would certainly be told that there is not a separate connection of the building on that lot - that it is tied into the other connection. Dr. Ellen Brown further stated that the intent to sell is certainly not with her; her family has had the property for the past 47 years. ACTION ON THE MOTION TO DENY THE RE©UEST OF DR. ELLEN BROWN: AYES: Director Kortes NOES: Directors Fesler, Hegarty, Melikean Motion lost. Director Hegarty moved, seconded by Director Melikean, that the Board waive the re- quiren~snt set forth inDistrict ORDINANCE requiring two structures be connected to separate laterals, as requested by Dr. Ellen Brown. (Dr Brown will be permitted to connect the guest house and the main house to one connetion. (Assessment District 1966-1-23) VOTES AS FOLLOWS: AYES: NOES: DIRECTORS FESLER, HEGARTY, MELIKEAN DIRECTOR KORTES Motion carried.

Banking/Insurance: The insurance committee met and considered the requested increase in the hospital policy and the decrease in the Life Insurance Rates. It was decided by the Committee that the South Tahoe Public Utility District continue with the present insurance carrier (Guardian Life Insurance Company). Also, an Aircraft Coverage Policy has been prepared by Wink Ames, Reed Meneley Insurance Agency, to cover Directors and members of the District as passengers in any aircraft. This would be an additional $150.00 per year. Director Hegarty moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that the policy for Aircraft Coverage be approved and accepted. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: I. ADMINISTRATIVE AND MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING ADDITION: General Manager H. E. Moyer presented the plans and specifT'~ations for the Administrative and Multipurpose Building Addition and recommended adoption of the following resolutions: RESOLUTION NO. 871: A RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND ESTABLISHING GENERAL APPLICABLE WAGE RATES.

Director Hegarty moved, seconded by Director Melikean, unanimously carried, that RESOLUTION NOS. 871 and 872 BE APPROVED. LUTHER PASS PIPELINE: Request by Contractor - Ernest E. Pestana, Inc., for a contract time extension. General Manager Moyer stated that Clair A. Hill and Associates have sent a letter requesting a time extension for ERNEST E. PESTANA, INC. of 50 calendar days. Director Fesler stated that at the last regular meeting two (2) contract time extensions REGULAR MEETING -5- August 3, 19§7 were given (Rothschild, Raffin & Weirick and Underground Construction Company). Mr. Fesler stated that the contract is awarded for an amount in dollars and for an amount of specific days. It seems that additional money is being requested by change orders on all contracts and that time extensions are usually requested, and asked if there was a penalty for this. Mr. Moyer stated that the contract does not carry a clause of penalties - but a liquidated damage clause is carried in the contracts. Weather conditions here at the Lake Tahoe Basin have caused the contractors to request time extensions. The completion dates on these contracts were set on a total overall project and before the plans had even been started, we established a completion date of 9/15/67 on the projects. Due to financing and arrangements with Alpine County, we could not make the 9/15/67 date and we are going for December 1967. Mr. Moyer stated that the District is not charged in any way by granting an extension to the the contractor. Director Kortes moved, seconded by Director Melikean, unanimously carried, that the contractor ERNEST PESTANA be granted a 50 day(calendar day) time extension on Luther Pass Pipeline. ASSE.SSMENT DISTRICT 1966-1: General Manager Moyer stated that consideration be given to restore washways b~' constructing asphaltic road mix surfaces, in Assessment District No. 1966-1. Mr. Moyer stated that a letter was received from the President of the Tah~ Meadows Association stating they were pleased with the construction and the cleanup of the area made by the contractor; however, the road in question is in very p~or condition and cannot be used, such as it is. Mr. Moyer recommended that the Board consider the repaving of this road. There is money in the Assessment District 1966-1 funds (which can only be used for this Assessment District) and requested that Robert L. Helms be hired to repaYe the road in Assessment Distri~ 1966-1, using the asphaltic road mix. This would be .08¢ per square foot, total cost of approximately $8,000.00. Director Hegarty moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that Robert L. Helms repave the road in Assessment District 1966-1, with asphaltic mix, as recommended by General Manager Moyer. RESOLUTION NO. 873: A RESOLUTION CONFIRMING THAT DAVID W.

REGULAR MEETING -6- August 3, 1967 LAKE TAHOE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT: Consideration of annexation fees previously paid and requirement for further fees, if any. General Manager Moyer read the following letter: "July 24, 1967 Mr. Harlan E. Moyer, General Manager South Tahoe Public Utility District PO Box 825 South Lake Tahc~, California, 95705 Dear Mr. Moyer: In order to determine what reimbursement the district will receive under ?he State School Building Aid Program for the annexation of the high school to the Sanitary District, I need some information from you. The State normally will pay up to 75% o~ the annexat~ion costs which would result were the area developed residentially. Mr. RoOinson of the County Planning Commission staff informs me that the area would hold four units per acre if developed residentially. On this basis of four units per acre, what would be the fees for the 50 acre high school site were it developed residentially? I note that the annexation was based upon approximately 11.12 acres.* I assume this was due to the fact that the area of actual building is approximately Ilacres; however, is the entire 50 acre site annexed to the Sanitary District, fees paid, as of this annexation? The District has since acquired an additional 30 acres adjacent to ~he 50 acre site, on which nothing but a ski lift is presently located. Is this 50 acre parcel included in the Sanitary District? If not, should it be, how do we go about it, and what charges will be involved? Your help will be appreciated. Sincerely, slGERARD W. HAUCK, Assistant Supt. Business Services GWH/gp" *Letter 11/12/65, 11.12 acres @$400.00 acre + $5,150 Right of Service Charge."

MEYERS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. U-I: Consideration of approval of payments for WALTER BRODER ESTATE, approximately $9,000.00, andTAHOE PARADISE, INC., approximately $10,000 plus. Mr. Moyer asked the Directors to consider payment of the above. President Fesler stated that the Directors have agreed in the past that matters such as this are referred to and handled by the Administrative Staff; he thanked General Manager Moyer for bringing this to the attention of the Board. RESOLUTION NO. 874: A RESOLUTION CALLING AND PROVIDING FOR NOTICE OF ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AT LARGE NO. 3 and 4 FOR THE SOUTH TAMOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT. Director Hegarty moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that RESOLUTION NO 874 be adopted. ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 1967-5: Request of Al Tahoe Forest Home Association to include water lines 'and dire hydrant in assessment proceedings. This matter was discussed by the Directors, Manager and Attorney. Mr. Jones stated that the Board has adopted Preliminary Resolutions for this Assessment District for the sewer facilities only. However, water facilities could be included in this and same is not governed by a letter from the County Health Officer; proceedings would be under an Investigation Act and hearings; ask for written petition of the property owners (at least 60%); responsibility would be that of the property owners, as would their plans and specifications. -7- August 3, 1967 Attorney K. Jones stated that if the Board desires to enter into this, the property owners must be advised (Al Tahoe Forest Home Association) that the work has been added but before it can be legally handled, a written petition of 60% of the area~ the preparation of plans and specifications for this work, etc., would have to be set up on a separate schedule. Mr. Jones stated that this added request would not delay the assessment district project. The above matter was referred to the Manager for handling, who in turn will contact Mr. Globin and all interested parties regarding this request, and report back to the Board. · RESOLUTION NO. 886, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT, TO EXECUTE AN ENGINEERING SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CLAIR A.

CALLAHAN, Clerk of Board and Ex-Officio Secretary SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT ADJOURNED REGULAR MEET lNG August I0~ 1967 AN ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT The meeting of the South Tahoe Public Utility District's Board of Directors was called to order at 8:05 P.M., Thursday, I0 August 1967, in the Council Chamber of the City of South Lake Tahoe, Bijou, California. Director Robert Fesler presiding. Directors Present: Robert Fesler, E. Hegarty, D. Kortes. ABSENT: R. Wakeman, illness. Also present'wewe H.E. Moyer, Manager, D.W. Callahan, Clerk of Board and Assistant General Manager, J.C. Weidman, Attorney, Don Showalter and Loring Hansen = Clair A. Hill and Associates, Attorney R. Hill and Attorney K. Jones - Wilson, Jones, Morton and Lynch. Following the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, Mr. Fesler asked all present for a moment of silence in memory of George Melikean who had passed away that day. Mr. Fesler expressed his deep personal sorrow at the loss, and that of the community a~ a whole for the many years of service rendered by Mr. Melikean. Director Fesler declared the Public Hearing on Assessment District 1967-1 open, and welcomed those who were in attendance, stating that their questions on the bonds and the physical aspects of the annexation can this evening be answered. Mr. Fesler called on Harlan E. Moyer for a brief, basic explanation of the physical properties of this project. Mr. Moyer stated that before going into that phase, he wondered if everyone was aware of the Lake Tahoe Basin and the water problems resulting. Recently passed through the Congress of the United States the Water Quality Control Act, wherein is set out satisfactory water quality control standards, wherein the Federal Government has adopted policies and laws relating to the implementation for these Standards. It is this District's function, as that of other Districts around the Lake, to provide sewers for the entire Lake Tahoe Watershed, and read excerpts from the Act which must be operable by January 1970. - "No septic tank and other sewage system may be installed unless approved prior to this law .... treatment facilities must be adequate .... no person may maintain a septic tank or other system and the District must," Therefore, after I January 1970 septic tanks within the Lake Tahoe Basin will be illegal. Further after completion of the District's export system, which is anticipated will be I January 1968, it will be illegal to maintain or use septic tanks. Therefore, the District must see that sewage facilities are rapidly installed, and, the District is moving ahead with annexations of outlying District and we must, within the next 18 months, be in position to provide complete service. Messrs. Hansen and Showalter gave a brief description of what the area encompasses (maps were on display in two locations at the meeting, and other copies were passed around for the interest of the audience) The District contemplated to be annexed is as follows: (there are seven (7) separate areas) Area A Area B Area C Area D Area E Area F Area G Mountain View #10 Mountain View #5, 6, 7 and 8 Echo View Estates #1 and #2 Country Club Heights #1, 2, and 3 Country Club Estates #1 and 2 Tahoe Paradise Units #18 and 18-A, and the Commercial Property along Highway 50 Tahoe Paradise, Unit #34 These collection systems which will be built in this Assessment District will be a part of the Meyers Collection System, comprising 18 miles of pipe, three miles of laterals, 360 manholes and 66 rodholes. In spite of the steep and difficult terrain this this District, they will be able to provide gravity flow to the !,114 parcels in the District. Mr. Moyer reported that "this afternoon the bid openings were held, seven bids were received, the Iow bidder was DELZER PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION, INC., with a total bid of $837,226.50. The second Iow bid was received from ROBERT L. HELMS CONSTRUCTION CO., with a bid of $837,405.60. There was less than $200.00 between the first and second bid. The Engineer's Estimate was $989,833.00. As a result of receiving the favorable bids, the estimated assessments will be reduced by a substantial amount. The total ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING -2- August I0, 1967 estimated cost of the project, including all engineering fees, legal service, bond discount and including the "Right of Service Charge" which is applicable to an area not included in the original district, now totals $1,451,000. As approximately $155,000 will be received from the Meyers Improvement District #1, will result in a charge per assessment unit of $930.00, or a reduction of $290.00 per unit. The lateral charge of $200.00 will remain the same, therefore, the final assessment will be $1,130.00, in lieu of the $1,440.00 as figured in the estimate. This $1,130.00 includes $200.00 per lot for Right of Service charges If this charge were removed (which it cannot be) the assessment would be $930.00, which is less than the last assessment district carried out within the original District boundaries. It appears that the project costs are well defined a0d as previously stated will result in a substantial reduction to the estimated ,. assessment . This concluded the Engineer's Report. Mr. Fesler called on the Bonding Attorney, Ken Jones, for an explanation of the financial aspects. Mr. Jones stated, "It is usually helpful in a new assessment district to run through the procedures proposed. You have all received a notice giving an estimated figure, reporting your share of the cost of this collection system. The bids received will now reduce the assessment. Using $1,130 as a typical amount, this meeting will give you, as property owners, a chance to view your objections and criticism to any feature of this program which does not serve your need, now is the time to say so. ~ It is also helpful, usually, to describe What will happen if the project proceeds. If so, it will then go to construction as outlined. The contract period will extend over quite a long time, but obviously it is necessary for the work to be financed and paid for~ as ordered by the Board after tonight's meeting. All property owners are given an opportunity to pay all or part of the assessment in cash. The period allowed for cash payment is legally set at 30 days, but we have here a situation where construction will extend over a longer period due to the weather, which means there is no reason to curtail your opportunity to pay cash should you wish to extend until next year. In the meantime, the District will sell bonds to raise the cash, and enough bonds will be sold almost immediately to raise the cash to do the work. As is generally anticipated, not too many will want to pay in cash. Under the notice received, the payment period is set at 15 years. These are flexible assessments, and we intend to suggest to the Board tonight, depending on reaction, that the period be extended to 25 years. This, of course, will increase the amount paid, but will greatly reduce the amount paid each year. Again~ using the typical figure of $1,130, if the period is extended to 25 years, the average payment would be $88.40 per year, on the assumption that the interest rates will be the legal rate of 6%. Of course, this amount depends, on the competitive figure for the sale of bonds received by the District. This $88.40 per year assessment boils down to $7.37 per month, or .25¢ cents per day approximately. If the interest rate is lower, of course, the payments will be Iower~ but we cannot assure you of any actual rate at this time. If you feel the bonds should be held to 15 years, then payments would be increased, at 5-1/2% interest basis, to about $112.00 per year. The question always arises, if you make a decision not to pay cash and then decide at some future time you wish to clear your property, it is in reality a lien against your property, and the amount you would have to pay to clear would be the unpaid principle of the assessment, plus interest for probably a one-year period, plus an amount equal to 5% of the unpaid principle; this is in the nature of a penalty to you, and a premium to the bond holder. This would then fully discharge your responsibility to the assessment district." Mr. Fesler then asked Mr. Moyer two hypothetical questions generally raised in similar proceedings in other assessment district hearings: I. Homewoner has a septic tank and does not wish to hook to the sewer, does he have to do so? ....... Mr. Moyer stated that after January I, 19~0 septic tanks will be prohibited throughout the Lake Tahoe Basin, and if the property is within a district and facilities are provided for removal, then the property must be connected. This date may be as early as January I, 1968. AUJUU~NLU NEGULAR MEETING -3- August lO, 1967 2. i am holding a lot as an investment and do not want to pay more taxes; do I have to be included? Mr. Moyer stated the District has no control over disposition of any piece of property and the sewer system must be built as an intergrated overall plan. This means that a person paying in advance his cost for sewer ~-disposal facilities is generally paying no greater cost than providing a septic tank system. Ouestion was then raised from the floor, "What happens if the public itself doesn't want to be so serviced? What happens if people can no longer afford to live within an area because of these increased costs? Many have too much in the way of expenses and cannot afford to go into any more expenditure at this time." Mr. Fesler told him that his questions would be answered later in the meeting. Mr. Fesler then called to Mr. Moyer to read, in full, the written protests received: I. Miss Nerino V. Costa - Berkeley Country Club Heights Unit #3, Lots 271 and 273. Protested assessment, too high, taxes too high, sewers not needed. Single and unemployed and cannot afford. 2. LeRoy Lampson - Developer of Echo View Estates Protest assessment on Parcel 33 020 12 land. of $51,000.80, as this is unsubdividable Mr. Moyer exhibited on the map where this property was located, stating a strip of 150 feet on each side of the road is to be included, but it was felt the remainder of the property could be excluded because there is no forseeable future development of this property. "A valid Protest". Mr. Kortes asked and was answered by Mr. Moyer - "This would not then be an excluded parcel, but would be later considered if the property is developed, and would they then pay their costs for inclusion?" Mr. Moyer reiterated the assessment are not intended to be placed against large acreage not slated for imminent development. o Albert and Ike Devries and others - Forestville, California Echo View Estates #2 - Lot 57 and 42 In favor of sewer project, but protest unreasonable cost. Martha Wiederkehr - Oakland Tahoe Paradise Unit #34 - no lot number given. Protest assessment District. Cost too high and already have improvement bonds on land. Joseph Boggiono - Los Altos Country Club Heights, Unit #3 - No lot number given. Protest assessment, not in need of sanitary sewer. Bob Griffis - Morgan Hill Mountain View Estates, Unit ? Lot 808 Protest Assessment - only vaca-'~'ron use, need only septic tank. D.R. Brandenburg Echo View Estates #2 - Lot 33 Protest price of the system and inquired how determined. Mr. Moyer answer that competitive bids were taken;the revised final assessment based on lowest bid received. Mrs. Mary E. King Country Club Unit #2 - Lot 118 Protest sewer system, no need for sewers at this time. 9. Orvis Lunis - San Leandro Mountain View Estates - no unit or lot number; protest assessment. I0. Mr. and Mrs. Soohoo~ Uchida and Young Tahoe Paradise, Unit #18~ Lot 18 - protest assessment. -4- August I0, 1967 I1o Leona L. Wesley - Inglewood Country Club Heights #3, Lot 257 Protest assessment; other bond of $1,500 already paid; wants to know how assessments are determined. Mr. Moyer answered by describing the method of determining assessment is made on an area basis with a unit charge being assessed on a lot up to a certain size, generally 12,000 square feet for average lot, and then lots with square footage in excess are determined on a proportionate share on the actual area of the parcel. i2. Leon F. Willat Country Club Heights #3 - Lot 170 .... protest assesessment. 13.

Foil. owed letter by telegram stating unable to attend meeting but reaffirming opposition to said assessment district and connection. Stating not supplied with details and maps so a study could be made. Mr. Jones answered that such materials are too bulky to be sent in the mail, and that the legal notice mailed each property owner so states, but makes reference to where they may be perused. 20. Hunter Investment Co. - San Anselmo, California Mountain View Estates #10, Lots 1129, 1130 and 1131. Protest annexation and assessments - excessive costs - what happens if construction does not require complete bonded amount. Mr. Moyer answered that amounts are included in original call for bids, for any ' unforseen emergency during construction. Tf these contingency funds are not needed, there are specific legal things that can and cannot be done with this money. They can be placed in a Trust Fund and used to reduce the bond assessment. 21. E.A. Hamson = Cassel, California Mountain View Estates #8, Lot 2 Protest assessment and annexation, and wanting to know why some property not being included in the District. Why these charges not included in original subdivision lot charges. Mr. Moyer answered that the lots excepted from the district are those that are being acquired by the State for the future freeway. Assessments not placed against any property until the District is a ~fact". 22. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson - Ojai, California Country Club Heights #2, Lot 137 Prot. est Annexation ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING -5- August I0, 1967 7~]) 23. Francis Hooker - San Leandro (telegram delivered at the meeting) Country Club Heights #3 - Lots 246 and 247, Protest Annexation. Mr. Moyer explained "Right of Service Fees" - Ordinance created at the time the District was set up~ approximately $200.00 per unit - to compensate for facilities otherwise installed. Thus ended the reading of oral protests, Mr. Fesler mentioned that twenty-three (23) written protests were received, and then open the meeting to verbal protests from those in attendance, also will answer any questions or comments. Mr. James Thomas Dodds, Country Club Heights, Lot 150, who had previously asked questions, and which questions had been answered during the reading of the written protests, now merely stated that he was entering a "Formal Protest ". Mr. Van Der Pool, Mountain View Estates #8, Lot 807, asked why the cost is based on a square foot rather than a linear foot? Engineer answered because of the lot shapes~ such assessment would be very unfair, and as depth for assessment is limited to 150 square feet, this means is used. Mr. Van der Pool then entered a Formal Protest, stating further as he is living in a thinly-populated area where practically all residents are protesting, and because their drainage is not directly to the Lake, he believes the septic tank system in the area is adequate, as the only drainage would be into Angora which runs underground after the Saw Mill Pond area. Although Mr. Moyer had previously answered as to the legal aspects of the Water Quality Control Law~ he again explained that it will be mandatory to be connected, this is beyond the control of the District. Any subdivisions now being developed in that area are also being included in the assessment plans. Mr. Moyer would presume that appropriate legal action would be taken against individual owners as against the District if the Water Ouality Control Requir~en~s are violated, such action no doubt being first referred to the District~ then to the County~ and then to the Attorney General. Mr. Vsn der Pool questioned~ "Is not expense now involved too~areat for the area", but Mr. Moyer stated the District is 'forced' to take this action for your benefit. Upon question, Mr. Moyer explained the $200.00 per lot is a "Right of Service "fee which is for a new area that is being connected. Additionally, the District charges to be paid to connect to a line are the required $10.00 Permit Fee and one year's service cha~ges in advance - standard fee is $18.00 per year~ or $1.50 monthly (2 bathrooms and kitchen). Then, when connecting you pay the contractor's fee from your house to the District lateral, which is on the ~roperty line. Mr. Van der Pool again - "We know it is a health hazard, but why cannot Tidelands Funds be used, as this increase in expenses will force many to see their homes". Mr. J.C. Weidman stated that many might think, it unfair what the District is doing, but in 1966 the State Legislature passed la~s, wherein if the District did not ss do so~ the State would step in and install and charge-back the entire expense to the property owner. Mr. Bellaville, Mountain View Estates #7, Lot 783, made a formal oral protest. Mrs. Hildinger questioned the $200 Right-of-Service Charge, which is included in the #1,~30 total fee. Mr. Moyer explained there are 510 acres in the annexation, the total amount split among 1,014 parcels that make up the total assessment district, and this fee is required for connection in any area not in original District. Mrs. Hildinger ~i~she$ t~att~e~$ewers ~been originally installed before the property owners were subjected to the expense of sewer systems. Mr. Tom Souza, Lots 828 and 829 of Mountain View, stated he was not quite clear as to the method of assessment on large areas, also what is this going to mean as a total payment in addition to our taxes. Mr. Moyer explained average payment per lot $88.40 per year on a 25 year bond. As to the assessment on large areas, first had included Mr. Lampson's property in the assessment district as the understanding was a subdivision map had been filed, later disclosed not so, therefore, was excluded~ except for the 150 foot strip along the road. Lots paying one unit are figured to be approximately I0,000 to 12,000 s~uare feet, as that is averaHe of the majority in the area. ~' ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING -6- August I0, 1967 Mr. Dodds inquired why a large parcel is excluded and not some small lots? Mr. Noyer stated that when the excluded property is later subdivided it will pay the fees the same as other lots, but now a large acreage is not benefited by the District. Subdivision lots are benefited and are~suftable fo use. Any later subdivided land will still pay on the basis as if mow being included. Mrs. Hildinger understood the bonds used to be only a maximum of 15 years; can they now be extended to 25 years, and, if so, can the property owner recom~snd the 25 year basis. She was assured - "Yes". Mr. Hilainger inquirea as to any projected estimates of the monthly service charges when export is begun, understand will be somewhere in the neighborhoold of a Million Dollars, who will have to pay this? Mr. Moyer feels that the estimated cost for the first year's operation will approximate $70,000 for power, and the annual budget has been prepared and will be considered at the regular meetint next Thursday. The budget contemplates maintaining the same level of service charges this year. Budget also contemplates a slight reduction the the annual tax rate for the District. Based on figures of estimated growth, quite confident thai within the foreseeable future there should be no change. LeRoy Lampson stated, "1 own 30 acres which have just been talked about, and I am President of Echo View Estates #1 and #2. Hope all problems can be worked out. Noticed most protests are about the cost. You have my letter of protest on the 30 acres of undeveloped land which I do not believe should be included; the assessments now are too much. Presently must install dry sewers, and the additional expense will prohibit our developing this land. I don't want to see the County "Price itself out of Business", but this is happening, but would like to call your attention fo a statement you issued of $603,000 in administrative costs. Think you should fake a real good look at that cost and reduce and thus save. I think some of the listed costs are exceptionally high. Understand the bids received were very satisfactory and I do understand that costs in this line will be very high. "One other item that comes to my mind, in Unit #2, we have four lots there that will run over $3,000 to bring the line to these properties, and it would be my suggestion to the Board, inasmuch as we have until 1970 to save putting that sewer line up to these four lots and allow them to use septic tanks until 1970. I tnink if the Board takes a good look at some details like this, they might save more money, As a subdivider ! will pay our share on the unsold lots." Mr. Fesler declared a short recess that those in attendance could have a closer look at the maps and plans of the proposed annexation. Mr. Fesler called the meeting back to order, at which time a Mr. 'Doc' Whipple entered an oral protest for an Antoinette Gill, Unit #34 of 'Tahoe Paradise, Lot 6, who feels costs a little out of line, otherwise she feels that the District should be annexed. Mr. Moyer then reported in summing up the written protests received, there were 21 written protests representing approximately 39 lots, which by area represent approximately 3% of the projected assessment district. In addition there were two written protests received from the ~loor this evening, so approximately there is a protest representing 3-1/2% of the anea to be annexed. There are approximately 1,0t4 parcels of land but do not know exactly how many owners are involved. Mr. Jones stated there was one question asked him during the recess which he felt would be of interest to all - - the figure of $88.40 per year if let go to bond over a 25 year period is an average annual payment of both principle and 6% interest. On a 15 year bond basis, the comparative figure is $112.58. Thereafter, Mr. Fesler declared the Public Hearing on Assessment District 1967-1 to be officially 'closed'. Attorney Hill then questioned if the RESOLUTIONS may be considered as follows: RESOLUTION 876 (by title only) - If you desire to proceed ~ith the project~ must first have resolution over-ruling protests, including findin~ protests not received from majority percentage of owners. Mr. Hegarty inquired if there must be a majority protest before we can take action to over-rule ---answered if less than a majority then you can proceed. ~otion by Mr. Kortes to adapt RESOLUTION 876, seconded by Mr. Hegarty, unanimously carried.

Question raised from floor as to savings that might accrue if all bonding not needed - would then be either refunded to the assessed parcel or transferred to a general surplus FUND of the District. Engineering costs are based on and paid on established charges that have been used for many years and are so specified under the contract. Mr. Fesler declared this completed the RESOLUTIONS in connection with Assessment District 1967-1. Mr. Fesler then moved to the question of Assessment District 1967-1-U-1 and declared the hearing open. Mr. Moyer explained this annexation is carried concurrent with the hearing on 1967-1 because the properties are the same as those being considered. The purpose of the annexation is to bring into the Meyers Improvement district U-l, all property not included in the district at the time of the creation of that district, approximately 3,000 acres annexed this year. The Meyers Improvement District to provide the instruments for construction of the major trunk area and the pumping stage, potential of approximately $14,000. The property comprising 1967-1 did not include the Improvement District, and now they should be included. The Improvement District is the vehicle that provides the means of transport. Mr. Jones stated it is of vital consequence as the Meyrs area is in need of a trunk system and the financing of U-1 is by bonds, and it will be their responsibility to pay their share of the cost. Additionally, there will be a considerable income through connection charges when the system is built. All this morley will be made available to the payment of bonds. There will be a cost in the form of taxes against the properties in this district, but these figures are not immediately available. AD OYRN D R GU AR -8- August 10,1967 Mr. Fesler stated we are also taking into consideration in this hearing the written and oral protests and communications as those received for 1967-1, and some could also apply to 1967-1-U-1. Mr. Hill found approximately 6 or 7 applied but felt the Board might want to take notice of all 23 received, to which Mr. Fesler replied that we have considered and duly noted all protests received. Mr. Fesler called for any oral protests and questions or comments. None were forthcoming. Mr. Fesler declared the public hearing on 1967-1-U-1 to be closed. RESOLUTION NO. 883 .....

Director Hegarty moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that RESOLUTION NO. 904, as recommended by Assistant General Manager Callahan, be approved. NEW BUSINESS: HOLDING POND PUMP SITUATION: Mr. J. lensen stated that approximately six weeks ago, the two southern wells, which contain the turbines, collapsed. One had collapsed to the extent that it was difficult to get the pump out of it. Subsidence was noted around the pumping station that housed the turbines; sand s~:arted entering the well and a large void appeared under the west end of the building. Coarse gravel was shoveled into the void, but the foundation along the west side is virtually unsupported. The real danger here, Mr. Jansen stated, is 'that the building would collapse and crush the casing for the one pump on the west side of the building, and could also damage the pump near the east side of the building, which could cause the District [o lose both large pumps and could not pump out of the pond. Bill Taylor and his crew had started to construct a raft on which he had mounted the two centrifugal p,~mps. He also intends to install a Gorman-Rupp pump on the raft and with it 'the combined capacity would be somewhere between 2-1/2 and 3mgd. This should be in operation next week. ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING -4- 7~;~7 August 31, 1967 Mr. Jensen stated that the immediate thing to do was to attempt to shore up the building so that it would not fall and collapse the well casings. This would cons[st of installing concrete foundations outside the building and near the west end. Then two large steel beams would be installed and thread these through the building on each side of the pedestal that the pump is '.,nounted on. By means of brackets suspended below the beam, the pump pedestal would be attached to the beams. The beams would then be jacked up to take the load, and grout under them to the foundations. Cost will be approxirr~ely $2,500.00. DISCUSSION OF POSITION OF MANAGER: Pres[dent Fesler stated that the District must think of obtaining a General Manager. Harlan E. Moyer has been doing everything for us, Mr. Fesler stated, -- he is an engineer on one hand, and an excellent Administrator on the otherhand, and it would take two men to replace him .... one for the Plant Operation and one for the Administration Posit[on. Mr. J. Jensen stated that he has discussed this with Mr. ClairA. tIill and they agreed that the District needs a man for the Plant 'tha't has a technical background. The General Manager Position, of course, would be dealing with Public Relations, and overseeing the overall operation and a man that w~ uld have someknowledge/ experience of Utility Background. Mr. Jansen also stated the Plant O'oeration will be more of a chore than it has been in the past. President Fesler requested, and Directors agreed, that ClairA. Hill & Associates and Cornell, Howland, Hayes & Merryfiled get together to canvass the areas for a man who has a technical background and requested that they interview men to obtain a good man for the Plant Operations. Mr. Jensen stated that the bulk of the problems that have occurred over the past few years have now been solved. The problems that are going to be encountered over the next few months will be routine, and if not, CtairA. Hill & Associates are prepared to offer the District the very best assistance. The construction projects will be ClairA. Hill & Associates responsiblity. President Fesler stated that readvertising for a Manager will take place; interviews, etc. In the meantime, Mr. Fesler will sign any necessary letters, documents, on behalf of the District, as President of the Board.

October 3, 1967 The Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility District met in an Adjourned Regular Meetingthe 3rd of October 1967, 8:00 P.M., at the District Office. ROLL CALL: Present were President R. Fesler, Directors R. Wakeman, G. Ream and D.H. Kortes, General Manager H.E. Moyer, District Engineer J. Jensen, Don Showalter, David W. Callahan, Clerk of Board, and Attorney R. Hill. Many residents of the areas involved were also present for this hearing. ABSENT: Director E.E. Hegarty and Attorney John C. Weidman. HEARING: Assessment District 1967-2: President Robert Fesler called the meeting to order and opened the hearing at 8:15 P.M., pursuant to resolution number 894 and resolution number 909, and asked General Manager H.E. Moyer to explain the preceedings to those present. Mr. H.E. Moyer, Manager, stated that the people that are here tonight are here to understand and to learn the reason why the South Tahoe Public Utility District has initiated the Assessment Proceedings. ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 1967-2: This is one of the series of Assessment Districts created by the Utility District to provide sewers within the South Shore of Lake Tahoe. Assessment District 1967-1 is now under construction in Meyer'sArea, and three (3) more immediate Assessment Districts will follow this one. This will provide sewers to the entire subdivided area from Stateline, to the foot of Echo Summit, Luther Pass, Camp Richardson to Emerald Bay. By 1969, the District will have the entire area of the South Shore sewered. _T~his District is acting in accord with Federal, State and County Laws and Ordinances, and City Laws and Ordinances, which require the District to see that sewers are installed. Last July the Federal Government held an Enforcement Conference called by the Water Quality Control Board Act of 1965, passed by our congress, to establish standards and to establish a program and to see 'that the program is carried out. The South Tahoe Public Utility District and other Utility Districts at the Lake were ordered to provide immediate sewers to all of the subdivided areas within the basin of Lake Tahoe and South Tahoe Public Utility District is carrying out that program and the conference ordered the District to export the effluent from the basin by 19 70. The export system will be completed by 1967 and by 1968 all of the treated effluent will be removed from the basin. The State of California, at the Legislative Session, passed a law which states that OCTOBER 3, t967 -2- Protest Hearing:Assmt. Dist. 1967-2 & Annexation Dist. 1967-2-U-1 (cont.) all existing developed areas within a Utility District will connect to a Public Sewer System once the Utility District has an operable and export system. Any property that is within the District will, by State Law, have to connect to the sewer system. In addition, a series of Ordinances have been adopted, which stated that all of the subdivided areas within the Lake Tahoe Basin (or within a Utility District) must be connected by 1970 and After January 1, 1970, septic tanks will be illegal within the basin. Mr. Moyer stated that a number of protests have been received against this assessment district. A protest has also been received regarding the sixty (60) million gallon holding pond (containing a number of signatures) with a copy sent to the E1 Dorado Planning Commission. At the time the holding pond was built, the people were told it would be temporary for five years. Mr. Moyer has not had a chance to check into the minutes regarding this. However, Mr. Moyer will check the minutes regarding the action on this Holding Pond and the Use Permit issued and report to the Board. Complaints regarding the odors: Mr. Moyer stated that because of the multi-million dollar expansion program at the plant, the effluent has been receiving only the primary tre atme nt. Future of the Holding Pond: --- When the District starts to export, the holding pond will no longer be in use as a facility for the District, but the District will retain the Holding Pond because in the event of a major power failure, the main pump station would be put out of commission and the District would need a place to store the effluent. This pond would be retained for emergency purposes only. This plant expansion has tripled from 2-1/2 mgd to 7-1/2 mgd, and this facility can treat to the highest degree. If any effluent is to be stored in the holdingpond, it will be the highest treated effluent. Mr. Moyer also stated that he was confident that there will no longer be odor problems from the Holding Pond. BID OPENING: Mr. Moyer stated that the Notices with amounts received by the property owners were estimated amounts. This afternoon the bids were received and opened, as follows: 1. Leo L. Davis, Inc. 2. W.H. Ebert Corporation 3. Granite Construction Co. 4. Valley Engineers, Inc. 5. R. L. Helms Cons. Co. 6. B & R Pipeline 7. H. M. Byars 8. A. Teichert and Son 9.

MR. JOHN A. JENSEN stated that Assessment District 1967-2 provides for construction of a sewage collection system in an area of about 250 acres, near Pioneer Trail, Southeast of the Water Reclamation Plant. Includes Sierra Meadows 1, 2, 3, 4, Meadow Heights Subdivision, Montgomery Estates 1, 2, 3, Lake Christopher Subdivision, and four (4) unsubdivided parcels. There are a total of 604 parcels. Eonstruction includes about nine (9) miles of 6" and 8" sewers, two (2) miles of 4" laterals and 160 manholes. The system will be conre cted to the Meyer's Trunk Sewer, which is now under construction. Total estimated construction cost $490,000.00; total to be assessed $758,680.20. Area to be assessed was separated into two areas, namely Area I and Area II. AREA I: $285,101.70, 274 parcels, typical assessment, including laterals - $785.00. OCTOBER 3, 1967 -3- Protest Hearing: Assmt. Dist. 1967-2 and Annex. Dist. 1967-2-U-1 (cont.) AREA II: $437,578.20, 330 parcels, typical assessment, including laterals, $!,145.00. Cost to be assessed was broken into two parts. Area I: ---West of Pioneer Trail, predominately 6,000 square foot lotsl,relatively flat land. AREA II: -- East of Pioneer Trail, predominately 8,000 square foot lots, relatively hillside land. The Contractor would have 300 calendar days to complete the contract; ten (10) months contract~ime; to be completed in August of next year, depending on weather conditions. Mr. Moyer stated, in answer to a question asked from the audience, that there would be additional charges for connection to the sewer; there is a charge for a permit and one year's service charges in advance. Usually the sewer service charges will cost $18.00 a year, or $0.50~ per sewer unit per month. Mr. H. E. Moyer explained that the charge was based on the square footage of the lot. In AREA~i the average lot was 60 x 100' and that is what ~vas used for that particular area. AREA ~2 is a much larger average lot and the typical lot was approximately 8,000 square feet. W Mr. Fesler asked Mr. Moyer to mention the total costs of an assessment district: CONSTRUCTION cost is made up of the competitive bids and a contingency allowance of approximately ten (10) percent for extras. ENGINEERING fees to cover surveys, mapping, plans and specifications, assessment roll and diagram, construction survey, inspections. LEGAL fees to sell the bonds to finance. EASEMENTS and ACQUISITIONS - RIGHT OF SERVICE charges in the area which will be a part of the South Tahoe Public Utility District. At this point also, Mr. Moyer mentioned that an annexation fee is set by the District and for this year it was $500.00 per acre; however, because people had petitioned last year to have this area annexed, the District used the figure of $400.00 per acre. MISCELLANEOUS FEES for WORK and BOND DISCOUNT of approxirra tely 5%. In the event money from the ASSESSMENT DISTRICT is not spent; and [f the amount is below $1,000.00 or 5%, same can be transferred to the General Fund; the money will be retained for Maintenance and Operations in the specific Assessment District; or, can be refunded to the property owners or placed into the BOND FUND for early retirement of the bonds. In answer to the question of what is the average cost for connecting to the sewer per foot, Mr. Moyer stated that approximately $4.00 per foot in Montgomery Estates and approximately $2.50 or $3.00 in the Black Bart Area. Attorney Hill stated that financial considerations involved are --- the assessment roll will be recorded; within a few days of this hearing; the property owners would be given thirty (30) days to pay in cash or let the assessment go to bond; a notice will be received following this hearing and the final assessment figure will be noted on same . If the property owner does not wish to pay the assessment this can go to bond over a period of 25 years, (if this is what the Board so desires rather than the 15 years period), the bonds will then be sold so the District can get the money to OCTOBER 3, 1967 -4- Protest Hearing (cont.) pay the contractor, and the owner will receive installment payments on the assessment which will include principal, interest, and the interest rate not to exceed 6%. In the event the Board votes for the 15 year bond - roughly estimated installment would be 1/10th of theamountfor the 25 year bond, the installment will be less than 1/10th of your total assessment. This assessment will appear on the November 1968 tax roll. In answer to a question, Attorney Hill stated that if this Assessment proceeding does not go through, than there will be no assessment. Mr. Hill also stated that the bonds will be sold at one sale, probably in December 1967, and dated January 1968. Mr. Stevens stated that he would like to know why this Assessment District includes property that is not subdivided. Mr. Moyer mentioned that one owner does not pay for the sewer system - only their own assessment for their property; each lot has an assessment, whether used or not. Remarks and comments from the audience as to why create a subdivision when lots are vacant and cannot be sold; why didn't this go through five to ten years from now. President Fesler mentioned that in this area, we are operating in accordance with the order from the State of California and the Federal Government, as was stated earlier by General Manager Moyer. Regarding a protest and the statement that a $1,000.00 has recently be spent for the septic tank now on the owners property, Mr. Moyer stated that eventually all septic tanks will be prohibited, they are doomed to fail eventually, and by January 1, 1970, if the property is not connected (where a building is) the same property cannot be used and must be vacated until such time connection to the sewer facility is made. This will be by order of the State. Ordinarily, if over 50% of protests were received, the Assessment proceedings could be dropped; however, in this particular case, the Federal Government and the State of Calkforn[a have ordered the District to sewer the entire area of the South Shore of Lake Tahoe, have also stated that January 1, 1970, is the deadline date set for all facilities, and this District must abide by those orders; therefore, in the event a majority protest has been received, it is the decision of this Board to proceed or drop the Assessment District, but by a letter received from the E1 Dorado County Health Department, which states this is a health hazard, it is mandatory that all areas be sewered and be used by 1970. Attorney Hill stated that the Assessment Proceedings are being conducted under the 1913 Act, which covers all types of improvements, and provides for protests which are to be considered and heard by the Board pursuant to that act. The Legislature has recognized that there might be situations that people might not want it and primarily because of a health hazard. No matter what the people feel, regarding costs, etc., it may be for the public issuance and convenience to install same. Mr. Hill also stated that this Board will also consider the State and Federal Requirements, as well as property owners protests and the Board does have the legal right to proceed with the assessment and annexation in spite of the protests. The question from the audience -'If you know from the very beginning that you are going to overrule us, why are you holding this hearing'. Mr. Hill stated that to undertake the proceedings, because of the County Health Officers letter, it provides that Notice be given to all people involved and hear them, and this is what this Board is doing. This Board has not and will not make their decision until this hearing is closed. Another reason for the hearing is that in the past some assessments have been found to be in error, and same corrected and/or adjusted and considered at the protest hearing. OCTOBER 3, 1967 -5- Protest Hearing (continued) Regarding the construction on Barbara street - Mr. Moyer stated [hat one side o is for the force main and the other for the export line. This fs not a sewer assess- ment, however, in time, th£s area will also be sewered, Mr. Moyer stated. In answer to a quest[on from the audience, President Fesler stated, that people appear to learn of the costs, etc., regarding an assessment district, to consider the protests, to consider the roll and correct or adjust assessments. Mr. Moyer stated that the Federal Government has immense powers and if they belive, or have a reason to believe, that an Interstate Body of Water is be£nq polluted or in danger of becoming polluted, [hey can tell the Slate what has ~o be done to prevent or remove this situation. If the State does not do it, then the Federal Government will take care of it. In July of 1966, Secretary of Interior, held a conference on pollution of Lake Tahoe at HARVEY'S WAGON WHEEL and at that time they establisheda program to be followed to prevent the pollution of Lake Tahoe and to remove the effluent from the Lake Tahoe Basin by 1970. The State of California in turn have also, at the 1966 Session, passed a law stating that once a Utility District provides sewer facilities and has a treatment plant to remove effluent fromt~e Basin, then all property with- in the District Boundary shall connect within 90 days to that system. County and City Laws and Ordinances, at the request of Lahontan Regional Quality Control Board, have been adopted, setting standards and controls on the waters of Lake Tahoe, stating also that by 1970 septic tanks will be illegal. A gentleman from the audience stated that many people have been here and many have purchased lots and do not realize the danger of septic tanks. He further stated that this is his third dry well on his property in the past ten years. He mentioned also that he has always fought usage of septic tanks and would like to have the people realize the necessity of sewers and the danger of septic tanks. Mr. Stevens stated that he is no[ objecting to the sewers, he cannot understand why they allow a system to go through when there are no homes in the area. It was mentioned that maybe there are no homes now, but there will be at a later date. Requested by one in the audience was a copy of the assessment for each lot fn the Assessment District. They were told same was available at the District Office. Mr. Moyer stated that approximately 42% have protested this assessment district. Mr. Fesler stated that it is required by law to read all written protests. Mr. Forrar, who is the owner of parcel number 25 643 12 requested that his protest be withdrawn. In answer to a question regarding septic tanks, Mr. Moyer stated that unless the tank is concrete, same will have to be pumped and backfilled. Mr. Moyer mentioned that all protests received prior to this date have been read by the Directors - copies were mailed to them. Mr. Hill also stated that in the event the property owner would wan% zhis assessment to go to bond and at a later date wish to pay it off, interest must be paid to the next interest paying date (January 2nd and July 2nd of each y~ar) and a 5% premium and penalty. Mr. Moyer stated that the Health Officer recommends the system be installed as does the State and Federal authorities; the Lake has never been contaminated from the District's disposal areas; by order of the Federal Government and State, the District has spent nine million dollars to remove the fear of pollution from Lake Tahoe; the grants received by this District provides that these projects be carried out; without a sewer system, no property can be sold because no property will then be used; connection fee is part of the permit fee with an approximate cost of $18.00 for annual sewer service charges. The bids that were received today fsa guarantee that · [he property owner is having this done at the most economical rate. The annual fee of service charge will go on forever. Mr. Moyer also stated that property owners in territories to be annexed wilt be for the f~¢ilities that other residents have paid for right along. Areas that were not annexed and not within the District, will pay a maintenance and operation charge otherproperties within have been paying right along. OCTOBER 3, 1967 -6- Protest Hearing Attorney Hill asked Mr. J.A. Jensen if he wastthe Engineer of Work on this Project. Mr. Jensen stated that he was. Also, Mr. Hill asked Mr. Jensen if he had in his possession and under his supervision the Engineer's Report regarding the Assessment Diagram, Roll, Plans, Specifications, regarding this project and same prepared and submitted to the Board, and if he was familiar with all facets of this project, costs, etc., and that the Board is familiar with same. Mr. Jensen stated yes. Based on 'the above, Mr. Hill asked Mr. Jensen if, in his opinion, will the land and property involved in this Assessment and Annexation District benefit from this proceeding. Mr Jensen stated yes. · PRESIDENT FESLER CLOSED THE HEARING AT 10:30 P.M.

Mr. Moyer stated that he did some research on this as did Attorney J.C. Weidman. Mr. Moyer also stated that the Holding Pond is a necessity to the District system and by February of 1968 the Holding Pond will no[ be used, however, in case of a major power failure, the Holding Pond will have to be used. There is no standby power source available at the Luther Pass Pump Station, because of the tremendous horsepower involved. We are occupying the property under the terms of a Special Use Permit and they have requested we acquire this land. It appears this property can be made into an attraction for the community and requested that the Board authorize the Manager to conduct the necessary engineering and retain an architect to landscape same. Mr. Moyer stated that he felt it would be worthwhile to invest a small sum to see what can be done with [his Holding Pond to remove it from being a nuisance and into an asset for the community. Mrs. Weiss presented a copy of the minutes of July 15, 1960, stating where the District was granted this Special Use Permit for five years. This was to be temporary only. Mr. Weidman stated that he was instructed to sign an application for the Special Use Permit and he had attended a meeting regarding same. it was called temporary- because, at that time, the United States Forest Service wanted the District to export the effluentoutof the Basin. Mr. Moyer stated that he feels further check- ing into this is necessary, because at the time the Special Use Permit was obtained, permission was also granted for use of the spray area and he would like to be certain these two are not confused as to the temporary status. The spray disposal area was to be used for five years, but the Holding Pond was designed for permanent facilities. Mr. Moyer stated that he is reasonably sure that the Holding Pond was not ho be removed, but that the spray area was to be used for the five years only. Mrs. Weiss mentioned that the minutes definitely state the Holding Pond. Mr. F~esler mentioned to those present that he hoped they did not expect the five directors now on the Board to do away with a quarter of a million dollar installa- tion without having all facts and figures. Mr. Fesler also stated that the Directors and District are aware of people's position and hoped they were aware of the District's position and further stated that he felt the Directors owed it to everyone to investigate this more thoroughly; he turned this matter over to the Attorney for further study and investigation and asked that he report to the Board on the 16th of November 1967. Those present stated that the Holding Pond area has most certainly degraded their property in the condition it is in now and has been in.

HOLDING POND : Consideration of property owners and residents protest to continued use of 60 MG holding pond at Pioneer Trail and Black Bart Avenue. Attorney J. C. Weidman stated that early in 1959 a 2-1/2 million dollar bond issue was passed for Treatment Plant, Force Main and Pumping Stations and funds available for Holding Pond and irrigation ponds. The District took the only available land from the United States Forestry Service who told the District the use could be for only a limitsd time. In 1960 a Special Use Permit was obtained, for temporary holding pond for effluent, to expire in 1966. This was for the continued storage of secondary effluent. The use for the Holding Pond as it is now - continuous use and storage of secondary effluent. The export system will be completed in early 1968 and then the Holding Pond can be drained, cleaned. The District has not applied for an extension for the Holding Pond for the purpose of holding continuous secondary treated effluent. The District has a need for a dry storage well only to be used in case of emergencies, should a major power failure occur at Luther Pass Pump Station. This type of an emergency would result in storing highly treated effluent containing no odor or color. Mr. Moyer stated that in the agreement with Alpine County, it is mandatory that this District retain the Holding Pond in case of an emergency. Mr. Moyer mentioned, as in the past meetings, that this could be developed into an asset and maybe into a recreational area; this co,fid be landscaped. Furthermore, as mentioned to those present, the determination of the existence of the Holding Pond will be made by higher authorities. Mrs. Weiss stated thatprior to the commitment made to Alpine County to retain the Holding Pond for emergency purposes, this District had a commitment to the people of the area ---this pond was to go last year and she stated that the Board should have taken this into consideration prior to the commitment with REGULAR MEETING -4- November 16, 1967 Holding Pond (continued) Alpine County. Mr. Fesler stated that this Board did understand the residents position and sympathize with them, and that this Board also understands the District's position and the power to make final decision to remove this Holding Pond is not in the hands of the District. This has been discussed at great length. The District, at this time, does not plan to put any more money into the Holding Pond ...... we do not know whether the District will acquire this land or purchase this land. Mrs. Weiss suggested a tank be used and remove the holding pond. Mr. Moyer stated that a tank would be the same size as the holding pond if this were to be used. Another visitor mentioned that Mr. Fesler stated there would be no more money spent at the Holding Pond. He stated there is a new pipeline put in there recently and wanted to know why the pipeline was in the Holding Pond. Mr. Moyer stated that the new pipeline was put in and by-passes the holding pond. We have constructed a force main which ties into a force main that was presently there. The line put in originally is now going to be converted into a draining line. The effluent will be disposed of by by-passing the holding pond. In answer to Mrs. Springmeyer's quest[on , Mr. Moyer mentioned that the District pays approximately $7,000.00 a year for forty (40) acres for the Holding Pond property. Several suggestions as to where the holding pond could go were made by the visitors. Director Wakeman moved that the District maintain the Holding Pond in its present location for emergency use only and that the Manager be author[zed to have preliminary plans for landscaping, beautification and public use facilities in the area with particular consideration roads[de rest. ~rector Kortes seconded the motion and same carried unanimously.

There is an easement request for this property and Mrs. Cornick is objecting to the easement. The removal of rocks, trees and shurbs are her main objection. Mr. Moyer stated that he had mentioned to Mrs. Cornick if she could get the property owners of that area to agree to the expense of pumping into the street line rather than to be serviced by gravity then added consideration could be given to this area.
