SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - First responders in South Lake Tahoe have been dealing with an antiquated public safety communications system for years but that is about to change. On Tuesday, City Council approved the funds needed to fix the system with much more than a band-aid.
City Council approved a temporary use of undesignated, unallocated General Fund reserves in the amount of $441,129.25 to pay the initial contract award payment and authorized Mayor Wallace to sign a Purchase Agreement with Walker Telecomm, Inc. These funds will be returned to the General Fund when financing for the system has been approved by City Council.
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. The South Lake Tahoe City Council on Tuesday took the first step towards approving curbside pickup for cannabis dispensaries.
The council received the annual cannabis business review during which it heard from all five permit holders.
The businesses are required to pay a 6% community benefit fee. In 2019/20 the city collected $850,000 from that fee and in the first few months of 2020/21 they collected nearly $100,000.
Each of the owners spoke to need to have curbside pick-up. Curbside pick-up is allowed temporarily under California’s emergency COVID order so the council decided to follow the state’s lead.
City staff will bring back the order at the next meeting. The council also would like to know about the possibility of extending the rule after the pandemic is over.
