ATTORNEY'S REPORT
COMMENTS FROM AUDIENCE
John Cefalu and Neva Roberts made a
presentation on behalf of the City of
South Lake Tahoe and the Sr. Citizen
Facility Project which included two
requests:
(Short Non-Agenda Items)
1) Assurance from STPUD Board the
project will not lose the 9 sewer
units now allocated, and
2) The 9 sewer units will be held
and available upon demand allowing
the Seniors to leave funds in the
bank to collect interest.
President Madden stated payment was
required to reserve sewer units but
fee would be refunded plus interest
if units went to another party other
than the One who paid the fee.
Manager Cofer stated there were two
problems the Seniors might encounter
if payment of fees were delayed:
1) Sewer unit fees could increase
and payment would be based on current
fees, and
2) If a cease and desist order were
imposed upon the District due to a
sewer spill a connection ban could
be levied against the District.
Also, Manager Cofer noted District
staff had not had an opportunity to
review the plans to assure the 9 sewer
units were adequate for the project°
