Commission Discussion:
Town and Placer County entered into a reimbursement agreement for the portion of
South Shore Drive that crosses the Placer County line for CIP C2302.
Measure R pays for Trails Operating and Maintenance costs, the account for which is
used to purchase equipment for the trails.
Town will need to convert from Measure R to Measure U as Measure R will sunset soon.
Staff are looking at an experiment in adding fiber to the mix to seal coat trails.
o The new material is supposed to help with transverse cracks and add to the

The bridge that will cross the Truckee River Legacy Trail Phase 4, is ordered and should
be installed in June.
For projects, staff will typically try to apply for grant funds and backfill with the tax
measure funds, and then fund the balance of projects with the general fund.
Town matches Measure V funds with Road Maintenance Reserve General Funds on
paving projects to bolster maintenance efforts.
Lynn Baumgartner, Housing Analyst, presented from the memo for Measure K.
Measure K funds were used to pay for membership in the Truckee Tahoe Workforce
Housing Agency, Joint Powers Authority (JPA) with seven member agencies.
The JPA and the Town housing programs are separate but complimentary.
The amount of $700,000 on Measure K ballot language was an estimate and with
improved compliance with short-term rentals, more funds have been collected on a
yearly basis.
Council set aside $1 million prior to Measure K being passed; those funds still exist but
will eventually be depleted.
Town will be using more Measure K funds in the future as we continue to put out new
housing programs.
Other community benefits the measure could be used on are emergency preparedness
or open space.
Additional General Questions/Discussion
For equipment purchases, grants are researched but they’re not as common.
Recycled materials for paving have been investigated but not pursued, partially because
of long trucking distances or the need to set up a separate operation.
Staff recommendation was moved by Barney Dewey, and seconded by Peter Kraatz,
motion passed with the following votes:
Ayes: Barney Dewey, Peter Kraatz, Allison Pedley, Reid Cox, and Steven Cull (Voting
