DISCUSSION: Facilities in Alpine County received various damage in the flooding this winter. The Diamond Ditch system received extensive damage, and must be repaired prior to the irrigation season starting April 1st. The Diamond Ditch system is critical for the release of recycled water from Harvey Place Reservoir. Harvey Place Reservoir received additional water this winter, due to the flooding, and that water will have to be released earlier in the season than normal. By declaring an emergency, this will allow staff to hire contractors to work on short notice, between storm events, to make necessary repairs.

DISCUSSION: The District retained the services of NBS to complete an analysis of the 1990-1 Fallen Leaf Lake Sewer Assessment District (FLLSAD) to determine the proper distribution of remaining funds. As of January 31,2006, the balance in El Dorado County Fund 44-715-312 was $191,222.42. The NBS fee for this service was $4,000.00, which was paid directly from the El Dorado County Fund 44-715-312. NBS determined that the designated reserve fund was utilized in full for payment of bonds. There is no refund due to real property owners of record. The remaining $191,222.42 was identified as surplus in the redemption fund. Per State of California. Streets and Highways Code {}8784, surplus funds may be transferred to the general (sewer enterprise) fund. Staff recommends designating the surplus amount as an amount for mainte- nance of improvements and reimbursement for the administrative efforts of Assessment District 90-1. Additional interest accrued since the January 31,2006, analysis, will also be transferred to the sewer enterprise fund.

DISCUSSION: The District has accelerated its waterline replacements due to fire flow requirements for new residential buildings. As such, staff believes customer equity is best served by re-reviewing water capacity/connection charges and methodology to confirm new customers are charged appropriately. The capacity/connection charges by law are invested exclusively in infrastructure, although the present capacity/connecting fees fund only about 6% of current infrastructure spending. Brown & Caldwell, Walnut Creek, CA, performed the last connection fee study in 2004. Brown & Caldwell is now using Municipal Financial Services to conduct this type of work. A proposal has been received directly from Municipal Financial Services. The staff assigned to perform the work is the same staff that did our prior study. Using the staff will be efficient and their original selection was through an RFP process. The Finance Committee reviewed the proposal and recommends its acceptance. Prior to any changes in capacity/connection fees a hearing will be held to receive input from the public. SCHEDULE: Work will be done over the next few months, followed by a public hearing. In keeping with past practice any new capacity/connection fee would be effective January 1,2007.

We understand that the District's Board of Directors does not seek an update of the water rates at this time. Our proposed objective, scope of work, budget, and schedule are described below. Objective The objective of this work is to develop a capacity charge structure that meets the definition of capacity charge found in Government Code Section 66013: "a charge for facilities in existence at the time a charge is imposed or charges for new facilities to be constructed in the future that are of benefit to the person or property being charged". Scope of Work The scope of work for the update would include the following work items: · Task 1 - Evaluate District data and review technical and policy issues. · Task 2 - Develop capital costs, capacity and allocations. · Task 3 - Develop a revised water capacity charge structure and recommend water capacity charges. · Task 4 - Attend one Board of Directors meeting and prepare presentation for the Board. · Task 5 - Prepare draft and final reports. · Task 6 - Perform project management and quality control. Each task is described more fully in the paragraphs below. Task I - Evaluate District data and review technical and policy issues. We will evaluate the District's projected capital improvement plans, asset data, current fee ordinances and resolutions, current implementation methods, customer water use data, and other data as appropriate. We will evaluate with District staff technical and policy issues relevant to development and implementation of capacity charges. Technical issues include projections of average day water use in the maximum month for various customer classes (particularly the single family customer class), the reproducibility and reliability of data for future updates of the charges, the study period and data needed by Planning Department personnel in order to implement charges. Policy issues include asset valuation methodology, cost allocation methodology, complexity of the charge structure and implementability of the charge structure. -35- Ms. Rhonda McFarlane February 9, 2006 Page 2 of 4 Task 2 - Develop capital costs, capacity and allocations. We will develop projections of capital facilities' costs and water system capacity based upon financial, operational and engineering data provided by the District. Values to be developed based upon the data include the following: · Water system facilities' acquisition cost and acquisition date. · Water system capacity. · Capital improvement program costs. · Capital improvement program capacity added. · Water system capacity available for new customers. · Annual number, line/meter size and type of customer connections to the water system. We will allocate the proposed pipeline replacement program costs between those incurred for the replacement of pipeline and those incurred for the purpose of adding fire flow capacity for the benefits of new connections. Task 3 - Develop a revised water capacity charge structure and recommend water capacity charges. Based upon work performed in Tasks 1 and 2, we will develop a revised capacity charge structure and recommend water capacity charges. Specifically, we will recalculate the capacity charge using two methods: 1. The average cost method used in our November 2004 study updated to include the cost of the pipeline replacement program, new maximum month water use data appropriate to new connections and revised capital cost escalation factors, if appropriate. 2. The incremental method for only pipeline capital improvement program costs (and their associated capacity) are used in the calculation of charges. Task 4 - Attend one Board of Directors meeting and prepare presentation for the Board. At the District's request, we will have at least one representative attend a Board meeting at the District's main office. Prior to the meeting we will prepare a presentation and submit the presentation to the District for review and comment. Task 5 - Prepare draft and final reports. We will prepare five copies of a draft report and submit it to the District for review and comment. Based on a consolidated set of comments from the District, we will revise the report and prepare a final report. We will submit ten copies of the final report to the District and one electronic copy. Task 6 - Perform project management and quality control. Project management includes those services necessary to provide management and coordination of the individuals accomplishing the work and quality control of the work product. The rate study's management services include the following: · Coordinating completion of the various tasks performed by individuals assigned to the study. · Project cost control and client billing. · Ensure time schedules are met. · Quality control review of report outlines, format, and content, including checking of calculations and review of methodology -36- Ms. Rhonda McFarlane February 9, 2006 Page 3 of 4 Work products (deliverables) included in this proposal are: · Draft andfinal reports. · Electronic copy of final report. · One meeting at the District for presentation of the fee. The update of the water capacity charge will be modeled in a new workbook using Microsoft Excel 2002. The reports will be produced using Microsoft Word 2002. Not included in this proposal is an update of the water rates or a survey of any rates or connection fees charged by other water purveyors. Budget The table below shows the proposed budget and staff that will perform the scope of work. The total labor hours are 105, and total labor costs are $15,750. Travel expenses will be limited to $400.

Labor hours for each task are not limited and are fungible among tasks up to the total hours shown for the entire scope of work. Schedule We can begin work immediately after receiving written authorization to proceed.

CONSENT ITEM BROUGHT FORWARD FOR DISCUSSION / BOARD ACTION On July 26, 2005, a sewer overflow occurred at 1623 Arrowhead. District staff made numerous efforts to work with the owner to remediate and cleanup the overflow. The property owner was uncooperative and refused to allow the District to proceed with the cleanup. On January 27, 2006, a claim was received from the property owner in the amount of $127,966.08. The District, through its insurance carrier, offered $48,000.00 to settle the claim. The property owner has refused to accept the offered amount. CLAIM FOR DAMAGES RECEIVED FROM DONNA BARRY, RE: 1623 ARROWHEAD AVENUE (Consent Item b.) Lisa Coyner and Mike Adams reported the claimant allowed sewage to remain in her home since July 2005. The District should not be responsible for mold damage since the claimant assumed that risk by not allowing the home to be cleaned in a timely manner. District staff will continue to work with the claimant to resolve other issues related to the overflow. A statement from the claimant was distributed prior to the Board meeting since she was unable to appear in person. Moved Comte / Second Wallace / Jones Excused / Passed to reject the claim received from Donna Barry.

PUBLIC HEARING: CUSTOMER SERVICE, OPERATIONS AND LABORATORY FACILITY - REQUEST FOR SUBSTITUTION OF ROOFING SUBCONTRACTOR According to Roebbelen Construction, they entered into a contract with Andy's Roofing (ARC) and listed them as a subcontractor on the project, and are now seeking to replace ARC. The Board heard and considered all evidence presented by Roebebblen and ARC, including reasons why Robbelen desired to replace ARC, and objections from ARC representatives. The following complaints against ARC were discussed: · Significant project delays caused by resubmittals for the fiat roof · Lack of performance · Lack of project/crew supervision · Lack of manpower · Below standard quality workmanship · Safety concerns · Lack of experience and knowledge of products for working in cold climates · Lack of cleanup at the site · Project delays · Late RFI submittals · Inability to communicate in English with the project foreman The following findings were made: 1 ) Significant project delays were caused by ARC not providing adequate manpower. The roofing crew was consistently understaffed even though Roebbelen requested larger crews. ARC's employee's attendance at the job site was unreliable which significantly slowed progress. 2) ARC did not provide the required foreman/supervisor on the job site per the contract, which delayed coordination of their work on the job with other tradeS. -52- SPECIAL BOARD MEETING MINUTES - MARCH 7, 2006 PAGE- 3 3) ARC was not knowledgeable on working in cold weather climates, like the Tahoe area. Their lack of knowledge resulted in submitting materials for approval, which included a roofing adhesive material for the fiat roof section that could not be applied per product specifications and manufacturers requirements without the addition of temporary heating and protection from the elements. ARC failed to provide the requisite heating to keep the work progressing. 4) ARC did not timely resubmit the fiat roof section roofing resubmittal and when they did resubmit an alternative, it was not an equivalent, causing it to be rejected. As a result, progress on the job was delayed and is still being delayed. Roebbelen has not received an approved resubmittal for substituting an alternative for substituting the adhesive material and ARC is unwilling to heat the fiat roof area to allow the approved adhesive so it can be applied. The job is continuing to be delayed as a result of these problems. 5) ARC's installation of the roofing on the sloped roof areas was below standard quality which included wdnkles in the roofing, holes in the roofing and unfinished/trimmed edges, all of which delays their own work by having to make corrections and work by other trades. Moved Wallace / Second Comte / Mosbacher Voted No / Passed to authorize the substitution of a new roofing subcontractor as requested by Roebbelen Construction, Inc., in accordance with Public Contract Code 4107, as described in the findings above. (Director Mosbacher voted no because she hoped these problems could be resolved so the project could move forward.) 12:40 P.M.

Jones Mary Lou Mosbacher Duane Wallace Eric Schafer Date: March 29, 2006 To: Board of Directors From: Ivo Bergsohn, Hydro-Geologist Subject: Lake Tahoe Restoration Act (LTRA) - Stormwater Study Nicole Beck, PhD., principal investigator from 2NDNATURE, will conduct a 30-minute presentation describing the purpose, methods and major findings from the Hydrocarbon Study. The District through a 50% matching grant received under Lake Tahoe Erosion Controls, Grant No. 02-DG~11051900-036, funded this study. In October 2002, the Board approved a proposal from Nicole Beck (formally with Swanson Hydrology & Geomorphology) to perform an assessment on the potential impact of infiltrating urban and highway runoff on groundwater quality. The assessment included: a detailed study of the types and concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbon constituents in surface waters entering two South Lake Tahoe dry detention basins, Eloise Avenue and Industrial Tract Basins; a detailed study of the types and concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbon constituents in shallow groundwater underlying these basins; and a detailed study of hydrologic recharge dynamics associated with these basins. The key findings from this study with respect to hydrocarbon constituents in urban South Lake Tahoe stormwater include: 1. Petroleum hydrocarbon constituents in stormwater consist predominantly of TEPH and TPH-diesel, with less frequent detections of oil & grease; 2. VOCS are even less frequently detected in stormwater and consist of trace amounts of toluene and xylenes; 3. Benzene, ethylbenzene and fuel oxygenates (including MtBE) were not detected in any of the surface water samples collected from either basin; The levels of TPH-diesel detected in the surface water samples exceed the LRWQCB numerical water quality objectives for petroleum hydrocarbon constituents in groundwater to meet Municipal beneficial uses, thus in locations where no stormwater treatment is provided, TPH-diesel could be a significant risk the quality of shallow groundwater. -61- The key findings from this study with respect to hydrocarbon constituents in the shallow water bearing zone beneath these stormwater dry detention basins include: 5. Trace amounts of toluene, xylenes and oil and grease were detected in two groundwater samples collected from a monitoring well adjacent to Eloise Basin. However, this well was installed in 1996 as part of the leaking underground storage tank (LUST) investigation for Swiss Mart. The lack of petroleum hydrocarbon detections in monitoring wells installed specifically for the Hydrocarbon Study, make the causal connection to Eloise Basin contamination suspect. 6. Petroleum hydrocarbon constituents were not detected in any of the groundwater samples collected from the Industrial Basin monitoring wells; 7. Fuel Oxygenates (including MtBE) were not detected in any of the surface water and groundwater samples collected as part of this study; 8. The greatest potential to adversely impact groundwater quality is likely from TPH-diesel constituents directly routed to shallow groundwater through dry wells; 9. Shallow infiltration basins with large surface areas are likely more effective at eliminating hydrophobic contaminants, such as hydrocarbon constituents, than relatively deep basins with small surface areas. Depth to groundwater and density of neighboring urban infiltration points should be primary considerations for any new infiltration features.

We have one of the largest staffs of certified inspection personnel in the area. Most of Stantec's QC/A personnel are cross-trained in both inspection and testing. This approach allows on-site personnel to conduct materials sampling and testing which very often eliminates the additional expense of an added technician to conduct materials testing. Material Testing Services For many years, Stantec has provided Quality Control and Quality Assurance programs for monitoring materials production and testing. We have met the requirements of federal, state and local agencies for quality control and quality assurance monitoring and documentation. Stantec maintains one of the largest materials testing laboratories in the area. We are accredited by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL) and continue to participate in their proficiency sample testing and accreditation programs. Our laboratory is currently certified for the testing of asphalt, soils, and concrete. Stantec also complies with ASTM E329 and ASTM D3666 for tests of concrete, steel and bituminous materialS; ASTM D3740 and ASTM E543 for testing and inspection of soils, rock and non-destructive; and ASTM E548 for all work not in connection with concrete, steel, bituminous materials, or non-destructive tests. Rapid turnaround of materials testing has always been a priority at Stantec. Without timely and accurate laboratory test results, field operations can be delayed. Stantec has maintained a solid reputation for quick laboratory turnaround. Most test results are computerized with a 24-hour turnaround. Regularly, when material testing must be expedited, test results can be obtained within a few hours. Computerized results allow for quick calculation and retrieval of results for most testing done in our laboratory. Results are reviewed by a Registered Professional Engineer for accuracy and compliance with the applicable specifications prior to release. Results are often emailed or faxed immediately after completing the test. -66- Stantec Mr. Jim Hoggatt SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITIES DISTRICT March 17, 2006 Page 3 Our laboratory and field testing technicians are certified under the Nevada Alliance for Quality Transportation Construction (NAQTC) criteria for asphalt, soils, aggregate, and soil density.
