from Board members over the weekend
and questions raised during the course
of the meeting.
DISTRICT WATER SUPPLY
Gary Schnakenberg reviewed the criteria
used by staff to qualify a piece of
property for potential test well sites
and the additional problems involved
with property owned by other agencies,
i.e., U.S.F.S., California Tahoe
Conservancy.
A map was used by Schnakenberg to
locate the test well sites recom-
mended by staff. Discussion
continued regarding the pros and
cons of the staff recommended sites
(Bijou Elementary School, South
Tahoe Middle School, Highland Woods,
Sunset and O'Malley) and other
sites.

Directors Onysko and Pierini felt
it would be more cost effective to
put in Production Wells rather than
Test Wells. Attorney Weidman advised
the Board regarding the CEQA docu-
ments and stated there would have to
be more extensive environmental
documents for a Production Well as
compared to a Test Well.
DISTRICT WATER SUPPLY (continued)
Director Onysko stated he wished to
rule-out any 10" wells. Director
Sinclair stated he liked the smaller
well concept (6" wells).
Director Pierini requested staff
stay away from privately owned lots
and look for two more sites on
publicly owned property. Staff
advised the Board this approach would
take longer since dealing with other
agencies involved additional "red-tape".
Attorney Weidman asked the Board if
they approved of the License Agreement
concept between the District and the
Unified School District. It was
the consensus of the Board that this
concept was appropriate.
The Board took no action on the staff
requested items: A-E/Water Supply
Feasibility Studies; F/Declare a
Great Emergency; G-J/License Agree-
ments with Property Owners; K/Contract
with Beylik for 4 Test Wells.
Board did take the following action:
Moved Onysko/Second Sinclair/Passed
Unanimously. to direct staff to
proceed to explore the environmental
limitations with TRPA staff for
installation of a monitoring well
on the two school district sites,
and the exact locations of the
monitoring wells and the License
Agreements with school district
staff.
