ITEMS FOR BOARD ACTION During routine camera viewing of the District's sewer main, roots were discovered in the lateral located at 2290 Montana Avenue. Staff sent a letter notifying property owner, Joyce Blackstone, of the roots as a courtesy since roots can eventually lead to a clog. The customer is required to maintain the sewer lateral from their property to the main. Roots were located a couple of feet up the lateral from the main, and not in the District's main. REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD RECEIVED FROM JOYCE BLACKSTONE Ms. Blackstone appeared before the Board and presented photos taken by Apollo Plumbing, and stated the photos confirm the roots were not from her property. She requested the Board approve reimbursement of $307.50 for the amount incurred to have the sewer line cleaned of roots, and also requested continued maintenance by STPUD of this area to prevent reoccurrence. -20- REGULAR BOARD MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 6, 2009 PAGE - 3 Ms. Blackstone attended the August 3 Water and Wastewater Operations Committee, where ownership and maintenance of private sewer laterals was discussed. On their recommendation, she approached the Helping Hands program for financial assistance and found that the program only helps those who are in arrears in paying their bills, and she did not meet that criteria, hence her request for reimbursement. Moved Claudio / Second Mosbacher / to split associated costs with Ms. Blackstone. The motion was subsequently withdrawn because the invoice from Apollo Plumbing included labor costs incurred to bring her sewer cleanout up to grade. She will reappear before the Board at a later date with a revised bill. No Board action. David Makovec filed a claim with the District in excess of $21,000 as a result of work performed to excavate and remove an old septic tank as well as replace a sewer lateral that was in need of repair due to root intrusion. Mr. Makovec claimed it was the District's responsibility as he was not aware of the septic tank and subsequent research showed a District permit card which said that the septic tank was "pumped and filled." Mr. Makovec stated that had the septic tank been properly inspected, the sewer overflow would not have occurred. Lisa Coyner and Mike Adams explained that Mr. Makovec should have been aware of the existence of the septic tank as his Grant Deed listed a leach field, which is used for a septic tank. The District also notified the owner, every year for three years, that his sewer lateral continued to back sew - ge out of the cleanouts because there was root intrusion and he needed to replace or repair his sewer lateral (which is his property and not the District's responsibility). Mr. Makovec did not repair his sewer lateral until there was another backup in April of this year. REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD RECEIVED FROM JOYCE BLACKSTONE (continued) LIABILITY CLAIM AGAINST STPUD RECEIVED FROM DAVID MAKOVEC The District's claim adjuster, Carl Warren & Company, agreed that this is not the District's responsibility and recommended the claim be rejected. Pursuant to Section 54956.9(b) of the California Government Code, the Board adjourned to closed session at 3:20 p.m. to discuss the merits of the claim with legal counsel and staff. They reconvened to open session at 3:40 p.m. -21- REGULAR BOARD MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 6, 2009 PAGE - 4 Moved Claudio / Second Schafer / Passed Unanimously LIABILITY CLAIM AGAINST STPUD to reject claim in accordance with Government Code RECEIVED FROM DAVID Section 913.

Board Report from Director Claudio Water, which flows through pipes, offers the potential to generate clean electricity year- round. Over - pressurization occurs where water is stored at significantly higher elevations than the customers it serves and must flow to lower levels to reach them. Pressure reduction valves (PRVs) reduce excess pressure to more acceptable levels, dissipating a clean energy source during the process. Rentricity's Flow - to-Wire system mimics the functionality of PRVs and converts that excess pressure into clean electric power. Individually, a Flow- to-Wire system produces between 20 kilowatts (kW) and 300 kW. However, in aggregate, the Flow- to-Wire systems can generate megawatts of clean power. The autonomous devices operate pollution -free and structurally enhance adjacent pipe infrastructure. Flow- to-Wire systems need minimal maintenance and have useful lives up to 40 years. Rentricity's power generation can benefit potable water systems that implement pressure regulation in mandated reservoir flows and reservoir transfers. Wastewater is also an addressable application. In Renewable Portfolio Standard states, Rentricity can enhance the power production revenue with clean energy credits.

Board Report from Director Claudio Edwards Deming - Total Quality Management & Deming's 14 Points Edwards Deming was an American statistician, considered the father of the modern quality movement. Edwards Deming strongly influenced Japanese industry post WWII with Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Total Quality Management (TQM). In 1982 Edwards Deming published "Out of the Crisis" identifying 14 points for management. 1. Create constancy of purpose and continual improvement — long term planning must replace short term reaction 2. Adopt the new philosophy — by management and workers alike. 3. Do not depend on (quality) inspection — build quality into the product and process 4. Choose quality suppliers over low cost suppliers — to minimize variation in raw materials and supply. 5. Improve constantly — to reduce variation in all aspects e.g. planning, production, and service. 6. Training on the job — for workers and management, to reduce variation in how job is done. 7. Leadership not supervision — to get people to do a better job, not just meet targets. 8. Eliminate fear — encourage two -way communication, encourage employees to work in the organization's interest. 9. Break down internal barriers — department's in an organization are "internal customers" to each other and must work together. 10. Eliminate slogans (exhortations) — processes make mistakes not people. Management harassment of workers will create bad relations if no effort made to improve processes. 11. Eliminate numerical targets — management by objectives (targets) encourages low quality. 12. Remover barriers to worker satisfaction — abolish annual appraisals 13. Encourage self- improvement and education for all 14. Everyone is responsible for continual improvement in quality and productivity — particularly top management Page Submitted to the South Tahoe Public Utility District Board on September 3, 2009 S.T.P.U.D.

On or about May 1, 2010, District contractors will begin work on the 2010 Water Meter Installation Project. As part of the District's compliance plan a water meter and water meter vault will be installed on your property, however you will not be billed based on actual usage and will continue to be billed on a flat rate basis until January 1, 2011. After that date, state law requires all homes with a meter to be billed on the volume of water actually used. Installation of the new meter vault may require some disruption of landscaping on your property. The District's contractors will repair any damage to your landscaping as close as possible to its original condition. At a later date, District crews will install a Meter Transceiver Unit (MXU) to facilitate the District's Automated Meter Reading (AMR) program. With all public works projects, there is a certain amount of disruption and inconvenience. The District will make every effort to minimize the impact of this project for our customers. Per TRPA requirements, work hours on this project will be Monday- Friday 8:00 a.m. — 6:00 p.m. For any planned shut -offs you will be notified prior to the event. For obvious reasons, unplanned emergency shut -offs cannot be anticipated and may occur. For this reason, the District suggests each household have at least five gallons of water available for such emergencies. Should you or a family member have a medical condition that makes an uninterrupted water supply a necessity, please notify the District so we can accommodate your needs. Water is a precious and finite resource in the Sierra. The District encourages you to practice efficient water use which will conserve water resources and minimize the cost of your water. On the reverse of this letter is a fact sheet regarding mandated water meters installation and the District's plans to comply with the law. Please feel free to call Dennis Cocking, Public Information Officer, at 530.543.6208 if you have any questions.

Sincerely, Lisa Coyner Manager of Customer Service ** Turn over for more information ** South Tahoe Public Utility District Pulplic /Legislative Affairs Office 1275 Meadow Crest Drive South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 Contact Information: Dennis Cocking Public Information Officer 530.543.6208 direct 530.541.0614 fax 530.208.8540 cellular www.stpud.us WATER METERS IN CALIFORNIA FACT SHEET • On September 29, 2004 Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law Assembly Bill 2752 authored by then Assembly Member Christine Kehoe. This bill was chaptered on the same day and is currently Chapter 884 of the California Code. The District sought a legislative exemption from the law, but was unsuccessful. Whether you agree or disagree with water meters and water conservation, it is a reality in California. • The bill requires an urban water supplier, as defined (any public water system with 3,000 or more connections), on or before January 1, 2025 to install water meters on all municipal and industrial water connections that are located within its service area. The District meets this definition and must comply with the law. • The bill also requires an urban water supplier, beginning on or before January 1, 2010 to charge each customer that has a service connection for which a water meter has been installed, based on the actual volume of deliveries, as measured by a water meter. • The bill provides an exception in order to provide customers with experience in volume - based water service charges. An urban water supplier that is subject to this law may delay, for the 2010 seasonal cycle of water use, the use of meter -based charges for service connections that are being converted from nonvolume -based billing to volume - based billing. That means, for most residential customers, volume -based billing will not begin until January 2011. From January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, residential customers with meters will receive their normal flat rate bill and additional information that will demonstrate what their bill would have been if billed volumetrically. • Finally, the bill authorizes a water purveyor to recover the cost of providing services related to the purchase, installation, and operation of a water meter from rates, fees, or charges. At this point, it is the District's intent to seek federal and state funding to cover as much of the costs of meter installation as possible. Where outside funding is not available, costs will be paid through the general rates incurred by all District customers. The District has applied for and received a $4.387 million grant (no matching dollars) through the State Revolving Fund (SRF). These funds were provided via the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. These funds will allow the installation of approximately 1,500 water meters on waterlines that have been replaced in recent years. Generally speaking, these projects are entirely within the City limits and in older neighborhoods (The Y, Gardner Mtn., Al Tahoe, and Stateline as that is where the oldest and smallest lines are located). • For additional information please contact Dennis Cocking, Public Information Officer at 543.6208 or visit the District's webpage at www.stpud.us.
