SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. The SnowGlobe Music Festival will not be returning to South Lake Tahoe, city council decided on Tuesday.
In 2019, the city signed a 5-year contract with SnowGlobe on the grounds that event organizers provide an alternative location to hold the event.
Since the event was canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic, the organizers were required to provide the city with the alternative location by June 18, 2021, which they did not do.
The city sent the organizers a letter informing them they were in breach of contract. They responded with a list of six locations that they considered including Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, Lake Tahoe Golf Course, George Whittell High School and surrounding area, multiple casino parking lots, and Camp Richardson and surrounding areas but they said none of them were suitable, so they continued to be in breach of contract.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. The South Lake Tahoe City Council moved forward with canceling the development agreement with Perfect Union SLT, LLC during its meeting on Tuesday, June 1.
Perfect Union received a cannabis use permit in Nov. 2019 and the council approved a development agreement with them in Feb. 2020. As part of that agreement, Perfect Union SLT was required to be operational within a year of agreement being approved.
The business did not open its doors within a year, which they said was because of delays caused by COVID-19. The planning commission denied an appeal for an extension.
The company was given 30-days to cure the default or at least started the process of curing the default but city attorney Heather Stroud said they failed to do so.
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. The South Lake Tahoe City Council approved the creation of a Police Advisory Commission, a commission that community members have sought over the last year.

The commission will be made up of five members, two from the multi-cultural alliance, one from the school district or community college, one from the business community and one at-large member.
Police Chief David Stevenson and members of the council reiterated the importance of diversity on this commission.
