He said staff re- viewed the progress made on the many mitigation measures. One of his pri- orities was not to carry over the old GOOD FAITH MEET & CONFER MEETINGS WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE LEAGUE TO SAVE LAKE TAHOE AND THE CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE mitigation items into the new agreement. Attorney Sare added to the comments by Director Wallace. He stated at the beginning of the meetings the League and A.G. felt the District had not made sufficient progress on prior commitments, but after staff had explained the District's efforts toward the prior commitments, he felt the distrust had been eliminated and the League and A.G. representatives were now more satisfied, providing, by March, 1995, the District will have let the contract for the 2nd ERB or the alternative power source. He said every- one seemed to agree that an alternative power source was prefereable to an add- itional ERB. The Distirct tentatively agreed to continue pursuing an auxiliary power source, support the transit terminal (Park Ave. Project), and the pursuit of the ongoing Facility Plan (environmental document) to serve the community for the next 20 years .... to be started in the spring of 1994. Director Wallace recommended Attorney Sare move forward with negotiations, based on Board approval, and have staff prepare environmental documents. The Board concurred with the recommendation.

BAER A PUBLIC AGENCY D/rectors ROBERT MASON MARY LOU MOSBACHER STEVEN J. ONYSKO LOU PIERINI DUANE WALLACE Mr. Tim Oliver, Engineering Supervisor City of South Lake Tahoe 1900 Lake Tahoe Boulevard South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 Re: Fire Station No. 1 - Relocation to APN 27-323-171 Dear Tim: Thank you for the opportunity to review the plans for the new Fire Station to be located at 1252 Ski Run Boulevard. The District's Inspectors and Engineer, Richard Solbrig, have reviewed the plans and made the following comments: Sewer Sheet C3.3 concrete CIO boxes with metal lids marked "SEWER" to be installed over outside C/O's. Sheet C2.1 comments regarding the possible relocation of the District's 6" main to avoid the new sewer connection must be taken out of the plans. We must require that the City relocate the sewer shou}d there be any conflicts with utilities. Sheet C2.1 Prior to any portions of the sewer lateral being encased in concrete, it must first be inspected by a District Inspector. A copy of the District's requirements for building sewer must be included in the final set of plans. Water Sheet C2.1 a District approved stop and drain valve must be installed on the domestic supply line within 30" outside of the building foundation. Sheet C2.1 A District approved Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow Assembly must be 2installed on the domestic supply line upstream of any connections. Assembly must be installed according to S.T.P.U.D. specifications and be tested by a District recognized ST055648 T. Oliver June 10, 1993 Page 2 o Backflow Assembly Tester upon installation. Installation detail sheet must be included in the final set of plans. Sheet C2.1 A line size 3" inch water meter (3" Sensus Series W Turbo Meter Model W- 350 DR with TR/PL Model Touch Read System) must be installed according to S.T.P.U.D. specifications on the fire supply line at the connection point to the District. Installation detail must be included on the final set of plans. This is due to the obvious usage (see sheet FS2.1) beyond normal potential suppression at this location (District ordinance//360, Art. 7 Sec. 7.4).' A copy of the District's requirements for water connection must be included on the final set of plans. We have performed a sewer unit count from the plans submitted (see attached). The plans show a total of 11 sewer units required for the new facility. This count includes the bathroom described as "future bathroom." If you delete the future bathroom from the plans, the total fixture units will decrease by 8 fixture units, a savings of 2 sewer units on the project. In confirming our phone conversations, the District anticipates a transfer application from the City, moving the three (3) sewer units which presently exist at Fire Station//2 (APN 27-064-02) to the new site. The remaining sewer units required--eight (8) with the future bathroom, six (6) without the future bathroom--will be transferred from the City's redevelopment pool (the sending parcels will need to be identified by the City). I am enclosing a transfer application for the existing sewer units. Please allow time to agendize this transfer for formal approval by the Board. A breakdown of sewer transfer fees for both scenarios follows: 1 l Sewer Units transferred X $1330/S.U. = $14,630 Saddle Inspection Fee = 50 Perlnit Fee = 35 Total (includes future bath) = $14,715 9 Sewer Units transferred X $1330/S.U. = Saddle Inspection Fee = Permit Fee = Total (without future bath) $11,970 5O 35 $12,055 ST055649 T. Oliver June 10, 1993 Page 3 The water connection fee for the new facility is based on water use projections provided by Dinter Engineering on behalf of the City. The connection fee is subject to a 3-year consumption evaluation by the District as provided by Ordinance No. 439: 4250 peak day demand 609 GPD/SFDU = 7 SFDU (Single Family Dwelling Units) 7 SFDU X $1550 = $10,850 Note: There will be no connection fee associated with the 3" line, however. COnsumption will be applied to the City's use as provided by the City/District Water Agreement, known as the City Water MOU. One-year prepaid meter charges on both lines waived; charges to be billed quarterly. I am enclosing additional specs and requirements for your use. If you wish additional copies of these documents to be supplied to your architect or contractor, please let me know. Sincerely, Diane M.
