STAFF REPORTS
Manager Baer reported on 5 items:
1) Meeting with Mr. Schaffer and Mr. Hulin,
from Lakeside Park Water Company last week.
They determined there were appr. oximately
135 connections within their system, roughly
half residential and half commercial.
District staff requested additional
information to gain more insight.
Hydrick will arrange a meeting with DOHS,
Lakeside, and the District to determine
the status of their lake intake;
2) Meeting with Lahontan re future
connections. Lahontan staff has begun
review of our wastewater system capacity.
At the end of their review, and
finalization of our EIR/EIS, the goal is
for Lahontan to issue a revised discharge
permit. The present permit has a flow
limitation in addition to a sewer unit
limitation. Lahontan would like to
review our whole system and set a
capacity for the complete collection
system;
3) Sewer service for public service and
recreational projects will soon become a
big issue. Due to rapid expansion in the
community, there will be demand for more
sewer units than~are now available;
4) There has been more multicounty exemption
claims than were expected. State revenue
is $101 million less than expected. ACWA,
CASA and several agencies are working to
limit the property tax transfers to the same
amount as last year. Baer distributed
