any particular concerns they should convey. Wallace
responded that the TMDL issue is a major concern.
Director Mosbacher reported on two items:
1) She reported on her attendance at a meeting of the
Upper Truckee River Focus Watershed Group. They
gave a presentation on TMDLs and she heard information
that may help with the TMDL implementation at Indian
Creek Reservoir. Director Mosbacher will submit a written
report summarizing her observations.
2) The greatest Christmas present she received this year
was learning that she was going to be a great-grandmother.
The Board congratulated her on the news.
Assistant Manager/Engineer: Richard Solbrig reported
a preliminary response has been completed in response
to Lahontan's TMDL Rule. Since the Lahontan Board
does not have a quorum, their staff may turn over
