(3) He will attend the School District's
Community Forum as he felt their new

STAFF REPORTS
(continued)
Past Meetinqs/Events
11/4/92 - District/City Water Agreement
11/5/92 - Technical Advisory Mtg.
Attorney:
Attorney Sare reported on 4 items:
1) He was pleased with staff's (Diane
Noble) efforts to bring back sewer units
not being used to allow reprogramming.
Also, TRPA had adopted the District's
findings for Fallen Leaf Lake (gpd)
sewer usage. These two efforts would
allow a 1993 building allocation;
2) He reported there was not sufficient
contaminated soil within the boundaries
of the removed underground storage tanks
to warrant the expenditure of the $10,000
deductible clean-up costs, so funds
provided by California to help pay for
clean-up would not be necessary;
3) City staff and District staff had
met to discuss the City/District water
agreement. Discussions went very well;
he will present a concept for a 5 or 10
year agreement at the 11/19/92 meeting;
4) The Basin-wide grant - he had
received the present strategy to move
the bill forward. He was attempting to
ask V.P. Gore to visit the Lake and have
him back our Bill (Senate Bill 3374).
He said Attorney Rissetto had not been
authorized to spend any more money, but
it may require another trip to Washing-
ton D.C. due to the change of represent-
atives since the recent election.
