ITEMS FOR BOARD ACTION
Presented by Mary Rudokas who re- EMERGENCY POWER AND STORAGE
sponded to questions from Board members FACILITIES
regarding the need for the environmental
documents in the event the District does
not go forward with this particular
project. She felt the EIR/EIS process
was necessary to have complete latitude
to accommodate the allocations within
the basin.
Moved Mason/Second Onysko/Pierini Absent
Passed to increase the project budget by
$19,700 to cover increased scope of work
by amending Carollo Task Order 20.
Director Onysko felt the item should
be for any non-profit/IRS registered
bone marrow program. Nancy Hussmann
said her understanding from Board
direction at the last meeting was to
investigate the particular drive
(Heart of America) presently being
conducted in So. Lake Tahoe.
HEART OF AMERICA BONE MARROW
REGISTRY PROGRAM
Nancy Hussmann presented her recommen-
dations for language and procedures to
be followed if the Board chose to adopt
the Heart of America Bone Registry
program. She noted her presentation
did not necessarily lend support or
non-support for the program for the
District. She felt it would not be
appropriate to expand employee medical
benefits, because she was looking at it
as a one-time disbursement of funds to

pay for the cost of the testing.

HEART OF AMERICA BONE MARROW

Discussion ensued regarding the pros
and cons of offering this option as
an employee benefit and spending

institute a policy of reimbursement of
up to $30 for employee and spouse, for a
net indebtedness of $60, (a one-time ex-
penditure) to those employees who choose

Attorney:
Attorney Sare discussed the Clean Water
Grant Reauthorization Act (Basin-Wide
Grant). He stated it was not "dead" and
explained the concerns of the Nevada
people regarding the Grant.
Director Onysko questioned Attorney Sare
about the Conflict of Interest form he
had received from the Purchasing Agent.
He felt the conclusions of the memo
seemed to be contrary to the Public
Utilities Code. It was his understand-
ing that just because a Director had
business with a client, it did not pre-
clude the District from dealing with

that client; it precluded the
individual Director from choosing that
client or vendor. He requested
Attorney Sare review the matter.
