March 10 Virtual Town Hall on Tahoe Basin Housing Amendments
TAHOE CITY
Placer County District 5 Supervisor Cindy Gustafson is inviting the community to a virtual town hall meeting next week to hear updates regarding the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s Phase 2 housing amendments for the Tahoe Basin Area Plan in North Lake Tahoe.
The event is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Monday, March 10, and will be live-streamed on Zoom.
Last month, the Placer County Board of Supervisors directed county staff to initiate an environmental review process to align the county’s Tahoe Basin Area Plan with the TRPA’s recommended housing amendments. These amendments, which focus on 100% deed-restricted housing projects, aim to support affordable, moderate-income, and local workforce housing in the region.
The TRPA first adopted the amendments in its regional plan and code of ordinances in 2023 following two years of study and recommendations from the Tahoe Living Working Group, a committee set up by TRPA to propose three sets of local housing amendments. TRPA will proceed with adopting the amendments in the Placer County Tahoe Basin Area Plan, with the amendments scheduled for review by its governing board March 26.

Webinar ID: 912 3961 0165
The TRPA has mandated that all local jurisdictions adopt these amendments within 1 year or propose viable alternatives that meet the same objectives. On Feb. 4, the board advised staff to move forward with the environmental study, which is expected to take up to 12 months and is required under the California Environmental Quality Act. Placer County must complete the review before the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors consider the item.

More than 90% of measurable standards of Lake Tahoe’s environmental health are stable or improving, according to a draft report the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) presented to the agency’s Governing Board. The peer-reviewed 2023 Draft Threshold Evaluation identifies several areas that need more attention, better monitoring, or more research. The 4-year report compiles scientific data on 140 indicators of environmental quality in the Tahoe Basin and measures the progress of science-based policies and restoration programs under the bi-state Tahoe Regional Plan.
In addition to TRPA’s growth management system and limits on development, findings in the report show significant progress is coming from the Lake Tahoe Environmental Improvement Program (EIP), which is considered one of the most successful conservation programs in the nation.
Several overarching issues emerged during the 2020/23 reporting period:
Wildfires in and outside the Basin are impacting single-day and short-term air quality standards.
The lake’s winter clarity measurements continue to improve while clarity in summer declines.
The New Zealand mudsnail discovery in 2023 and newly adopted targets for aquatic invasive plants require continued work.
Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and VMT per capita have decreased, while shifting recreation patterns strained popular roadway corridors.
TRPA will be collecting public and partner input on the draft evaluation over the next few months. The agency will present a final report to the TRPA Governing Board in June that will include recommended actions. The threshold evaluation summary, detailed findings, and feedback survey are available at thresholds.laketahoeinfo.org/ThresholdEvaluation/Index/2023.

Nevada Issues Temporary Order Allowing the Sale of Non-Cage-Free Eggs
NEVADA
The Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA) State Quarantine Officer Director J.J. Goicoechea, DVM, has temporarily suspended Nevada’s cage-free egg law. Beginning Feb. 20, eggs for retail sale can be sourced from any egg producer meeting food-safety guidelines, regardless of whether the eggs originated from hens in a cage-free housing system. This order was issued to address the strain on egg supplies and high egg prices in Nevada.
In 2021, Nevada passed cage-free egg regulations requiring all eggs sold in Nevada to be sourced from cage-free hens. “Cage-free” is defined as eggs from hens in an enclosure in which they are unrestricted and free to roam, with a total space of at least 1 square foot per hen in the enclosure. As Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) continues to impact the poultry industry, particularly cage-free egg producers, the supply of cage-free eggs has been significantly reduced.
During the current 83rd Legislative Session, Assembly Bill 171 was passed and signed allowing for the temporary suspension of cage-free regulations for up to 120 days in emergencies. Director Goicoechea issued the order, beginning the 120-day period, on Feb. 20. This order also allows for the sale of “Grade B” quality standard eggs. These eggs must meet all of the food safety requirements of “Grade A” eggs, but may have different colors, shapes, and sizes.

Exploring Incorporation of North Lake Tahoe
NORTH LAKE TAHOE
For the past 2 years, a group of volunteers have been looking into the idea of incorporating Eastern Placer County. They are holding their first public meeting on Feb. 28 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at the Granlibakken Tahoe Conference Center in Tahoe City.
Members of the volunteer Eastern Placer Future Interim Executive Committee will provide a summary briefing on work to further explore creating a community-based municipal government (such as a town) to serve the greater North Lake Tahoe area of Eastern Placer County. There will be multiple question and answer opportunities.
The agenda will cover topics such as: the case for local decision-making; summary of work to date, including preparation of an initial fiscal feasibility review; overview and purpose of Eastern Placer Future, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit preparing an application for submittal to the Placer County Local Agency Formation Commission; the fundraising campaign; and next steps.
Recreation and Aquatics Center Project Will Not Move Forward
TAHOE CITY
After completing a multi-year study on the feasibility of building a Recreation and Aquatics Center in North Lake Tahoe, the Tahoe City Public Utility District (TCPUD) and the North Tahoe Public Utility District (NTPUD) have decided not to pursue the jointly led project due to funding constraints.
The TCPUD and NTPUD Board of Directors determined that, based on voter polling results and projected costs of the project, it is not feasible to move forward with a special tax measure to fund the facility at this time.
The conceptual project, considered at the Firestone Property in Dollar Hill, would have initially cost approximately $77 million to construct and the budget would need to consider additional annual operating costs. The proposed facility envisioned a 6-lane lap pool, a leisure pool, a multi-sport gymnasium, a fitness equipment area, large group exercise rooms, and an indoor walking track. Due to constraints on existing property tax revenues, the districts would not be able fund the project without a new revenue source.
A property tax assessment of approximately $600 per parcel per year would have been necessary to build and operate the proposed facility. Polling of likely voters found that support fell short of the required approval level, primarily due to costs.
Several projects are already complete or are underway, including new tennis and pickleball courts in the North Tahoe Regional Park and improvements to parks, athletic fields, and other existing facilities in Tahoe City and the West Shore.

Overdose Prevention Education and Resources in Tahoe
TRUCKEE
Tahoe Truckee Suicide Prevention Coalition alerts of reports from local providers of an increase in suspected overdoses in the Truckee/Tahoe area related to cocaine laced with fentanyl.
The best way to prevent overdose deaths is to remember prevention best practices and harm reduction tools, including having naloxone easily accessible if people are using drugs. The recent reports were of cocaine laced with fentanyl.
Counterfeit pills or other street drugs may include lethal doses of fentanyl. Naloxone is easy to use and carry, and can be administered without medical training on anyone at risk, as there are no negative effects on someone without opioids in their system.
To request free naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or other harm reduction supplies, check out:
Tahoe Forest Health System: text or call (530) 606-0914 or visit the Emergency Department at 10121 Pine Ave. in Truckee or 880 Alder Ave. in Incline Village

Chosen from a competitive pool of applicants, Terrey was selected by a committee of literary and arts professionals, along with Nevada County Library staff.

Alibi Ale Works Brewery & Barrel House to Close
INCLINE VILLAGE
Alibi Ale Works has made the difficult but necessary decision to close its Brewery & Barrel House location in Incline Village and sell that property. This choice was not made lightly, but it is an essential step toward ensuring the long-term health of the business.
The good news? Alibi is here to stay! Alibi’s public houses in Incline Village and Truckee will remain open and thriving, continuing to serve beers, food, and experiences. Alibi’s core beers and many seasonals/one-offs will still flow from its taps, and patrons will continue to find Alibi beer in grocery stores, bars, and restaurants across the region. Moving forward, Alibi will partner with another trusted brewery to produce beers, ensuring it maintains the quality and consistency expected.
Like many small breweries, Alibi faced rising costs and a slowing craft beer market. Continuing to operate in the Incline brewery building became financially untenable. To adapt, Alibi is leaning into its incredible public houses, the vibrant community that gathers around them, and producing beer more efficiently through partnerships. This transition will allow Alibi to reduce overhead, stabilize their business, and continue delivering the Alibi experience Tahoe knows and loves.

Attendees will have the opportunity to dive into an extended lineup of fan-favorite Paramount+ titles, from the Montana frontier of 1923 to the jellyfish fields of SpongeBob SquarePants. Fans of “Dora” and “Paw Patrol” can step into engaging environments and activities designed for the whole family to enjoy.

For those seeking adventure, “Survivor” fans can channel their inner Jeff Probst in an interactive Tribal Council experience, while “Yellowjackets” enthusiasts will be drawn into a chilling campsite featuring eerie nods to the hit series.
Inside The Lodge, guests can explore a cozy, cabin-inspired retreat, enjoy delicious culinary offerings, and immerse themselves in unique interactive elements inspired by their favorite shows and films.

Admission to The Lodge is completely free, with operating hours from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. However, registration is required to reserve an exclusive one-hour immersive adventure, and space is limited—early sign-ups are encouraged.
After listening to feedback from Truckee residents, the Nevada County Board of Supervisors canceled plans on Feb. 11 for supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness in Truckee.
The county had leased a home in the Armstrong neighborhood with the intention of opening Hope Ridge House for up to five tenants and an onsite manager. The home was intended to offer “permanent supportive housing” to those experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. The project would have been funded through Home Key+ state funds, authorized by Proposition 1, passed by voters last year.
The county received over 250 comments about the project both in opposition to and in support of the project. However, neighbors said they didn’t receive adequate information about the project and that it was in the wrong neighborhood.
The Truckee Tahoe Homeless Advisory Committee, chaired by Supervisor Hardy Bullock and Town of Truckee Mayor Jan Zabriskie, along with members from Tahoe Forest Health Systems, Placer County, Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation, the Town of Truckee and more, have spent 16 months developing solutions.
Ryan Gruver, the director of the county Health and Human Services Agency, said Truckee “has almost no homeless services,” including no warming shelter. He said it was difficult to adequately inform the neighborhood and act quickly enough to apply for grant funding that could alleviate the situation. The county will continue to provide behavioral health services in Truckee, in addition to 24/7 mobile crisis services and substance use treatment services through contracted partners.
Bullock apologized for not giving adequate notice to the public. Supervisor Lisa Swarthout, who represents Grass Valley, said there are numerous homes similar to Hope Ridge House in her district without issue.
Swarthout and Bullock urged residents to remember that homeless people are just people.

Push to Exempt Seasonal Firefighters From Federal Hiring Freeze, Alarm Over Illegal Funding Cuts Targeting Wildfire Mitigation Efforts
CALIFORNIA
U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) joined Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) and 13 other Democratic senators in urging senior Trump Administration officials to reverse the hiring and onboarding freeze of federal seasonal firefighters that threatens the safety of communities in California and across the nation. The Trump Administration’s Jan. 20 hiring freeze of federal civilian employees inexplicably did not exempt federal seasonal firefighters, despite exempting other critical public safety personnel.
Federal seasonal firefighters risk their lives to protect communities and save lives. This hiring freeze is particularly dangerous as the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) ramps up staffing and training ahead of peak wildfire season. While Padilla secured a temporary pay raise for wildland firefighters in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, recruitment and retention remain significant challenges as firefighters work long hours with insufficient pay. The attrition rate of firefighters at the USFS has been 45% over the past four years — making the hiring freeze at USFS, the Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service all the more dangerous.
The letter to the Trump Administration can be found here.
Further, Western Democratic senators are sounding the alarm over threats to the removal of hazardous fuels on U.S. public lands. The Bureau of Land Management recently issued stop work orders to small businesses and organizations across America carrying out critical hazardous fuel removal projects on high-risk federal lands. Delaying these treatments risks missing out on the right seasonal and weather conditions for safely treating hazardous fuels.
Trump issued illegal executive orders cutting federal funds needed to mitigate and fight wildfires, despite the devastating fires that ravaged Southern California communities last month. The senators demanded that Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Acting Agriculture Secretary Gary Washington rescind the order to stop work on essential hazardous fuels reduction efforts and any other wildland fire management and risk-reduction programs.
The hazardous fuel reduction projects are a core component of the Wildfire Crisis Strategy, to which Congress appropriated over $3 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act.

Incline Village Community Hospital Foundation Receives $7.8 Million Grant
INCLINE VILLAGE
The Incline Village Community Hospital (IVCH) Foundation is excited to announce a $7.8 million grant from the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation to fund the IVCH Surgery Enhancement Project, a major initiative to improve access to high-quality surgical care in the region.
The grant, the largest in the IVCH Foundation’s history, will allow the hospital to expand and modernize its surgical suite, improving patient care and ensuring the hospital remains at the forefront of rural healthcare excellence.
The existing IVCH surgery space, originally built in the 1980s and designed to meet the needs of a smaller patient population, has faced growing challenges in accommodating the increasing demand for services. The planned enhancements will not only improve surgical efficiency and capacity but also create a more comfortable and modernized environment for patients and staff. Expanding the surgical suite will allow for a broader range of procedures to be performed locally, reducing the need for residents to travel long distances for specialized care, which can be especially dangerous in winter months.
The grant will allow for the construction of a new surgical procedure room, increasing the existing capacity for all current procedures, including ophthalmology, orthopedics, and gastrointestinal surgery. It will also allow IVCH to optimize existing space and explore the possibility of offering new services.
Additionally, the IVCH Foundation Board of Directors has committed to raising an additional $2 million to help purchase the equipment necessary to support expanded service offerings at the new Dave & Cheryl Duffield Surgery Center.

The Mills Act: History May Provide Tax Relief
TRUCKEE
Nevada County Assessor Rolf Kleinhans and his team want to educate the public about potential tax relief available through the Mills Act. This California program provides financial incentives for property owners to restore and preserve qualified historic buildings in exchange for reduced property taxes.
Enacted in 1972, the Mills Act allows cities and counties to enter contracts with historic property owners who commit to rehabilitation, restoration, and maintenance of the property.
A Mills Act contract automatically renews each year on its anniversary date for an additional year, thus unless the city or owner files a notice of non-renewal, a Mills Act contract has a term of 10 years. If a contract is canceled, the owner must pay a cancellation fee, and then the lower of the factored base year value or current market value will be enrolled for the following lien date (Jan. 1).
At this time in Nevada County, the Town of Truckee is the only participant in the Mills Act program. It is recommended that property owners contact the town planning department to determine what historic criteria their property would need to meet, and how the application process works. It is possible that the building may already be considered a contributing structure to an established historic area.
Those with questions should contact the county’s assessor’s office by phone, (530) 265-1232, or email, [email protected]. For additional pertinent property tax information, visit nevadacountyca.gov/assessor.

Truckee Donner PUD Launches New Scholarship Program
TRUCKEE
Last month,Truckee Donner Public Utility District’s board of directors approved the creation of the TDPUD Future Workforce Scholarship Program. The scholarships target both college-bound high school seniors and local students interested in pursuing the trade and vocational skills that make electric and water utilities function.
TDPUD is partnering with the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation to most effectively implement its new scholarships.

TTCF has also evolved into the hub for local scholarship programs, teaming with more than 100 local agencies and organizations to administer their scholarship programs.
To be eligible for a TDPUD scholarship, the applicant must live within the TDPUD’s service territory and be a TDPUD customer or a dependent of a customer. Scholarship applicants must meet the requirements of the TTCF scholarship application process and timelines.

Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Fails To Produce Comprehensive Evacuation Analysis
LAKE TAHOE
Five Lake Tahoe Basin conservation groups have issued an urgent letter to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) Governing Board, expressing deep concern over the agency’s failure to produce a comprehensive wildfire evacuation analysis for the Lake Tahoe Basin. This letter comes amidst a backdrop of increasing wildfire incidents and tragic losses across California and northern Nevada.
The conservation groups underscore the critical need for a Wildfire Evacuation Analysis, which is a comprehensive roadway-by-roadway evacuation capacity timing analysis. This analysis is essential to determine how long it would take to safely evacuate residents and visitors in various wildfire scenarios, especially during 95th percentile red flag weather conditions.
Despite repeated calls for such an analysis from Lake Tahoe citizens and conservation groups, the TRPA has not only failed to produce it but also has not required it as a condition of approval for Tahoe Area Plans and major projects. The letter emphasizes that this lack of action endangers public safety by not providing transparent information regarding evacuation timing realities in connection with Tahoe’s constrained roadway system.
The conservation groups emphasize the need for TRPA to align with the California Attorney General’s Best Practices for Analyzing and Mitigating Wildfire Impacts, specific to wildfire evacuation modeling. The letter outlines detailed requirements for a comprehensive evacuation analysis, including traffic modeling, assessment of evacuation timing, and consideration of various emergency scenarios.
The conservation groups call on TRPA to take immediate and decisive action to safeguard the Lake Tahoe Basin community from the increasing threat of wildfires. Conservation groups who are signatory to the letter to TRPA are Friends of the West Shore, North Tahoe Preservation Alliance, Sierra Club Tahoe Area Group, Tahoe East Shore Alliance, and Tahoecleanair.org.

Protest Against Trump
TRUCKEE
Around 100 people gathered in Truckee on Feb. 5 to protest President Donald Trump’s abuse of executive power. The protest was organized by Truckee High School senior Elijah Kreiss as part of the national 50501 protests — 50 protests in 50 states in 1 day. Participants gathered across from the Truckee Artist Lofts and held signs that read “Rise Up and Resist,” “Love Still Trumps Hate,” and “Truckee Loves Its Immigrants.”
“I was motivated to join this protest because I think it’s important to show up and stand for your community and people affected by what’s going on in America right now,” said Sadie Dorst, a Truckee High sophomore. “Whether you are a minority or just helping advocate, the more people that participate, the better and stronger the impact is.”

Organizers handed out papers outlining Project 2025 — a set of proposals that would expand presidential power and impose an ultra-conservative social vision — and how implementation of all or parts of the plan would impact Truckee. This includes weakened environmental regulations, threats to reproductive rights, increased deportations, and trade tariffs. They also provided information on how to contact Truckee/North Tahoe’s Congressman, Kevin Kiley, who is a Trump supporter.
The demonstrators ended the event by marching to the Victory Highway Eagle Monument in front of the AT&T building, where Kreiss led protestors in a chant of “Elon Musk has got to go.”
Musk was named by Trump as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an entity created by Trump via executive order. Thereby, Musk, who has no political or government background, is holding an unelected and unconfirmed position, where he has begun to dismantle government agencies and gain access to government data through the US Treasury Department.
“The people most affected by the pushback on progressive legislation are not alone and there are people who care, people standing up for them,” said Truckee High junior Kai Krenicki.

Super Swirl Leaves Kings Beach
KINGS BEACH
For over 9 years, Peter Orr, owner of Super Swirl, has sold ice cream to beachgoers at California State Parks’ Kings Beach State Recreation Area in the summer. This year he will be finding a new location to run his ice cream truck business.
This year, California State Parks informed Orr that they could not process a special events permit for him because they were mandated to eliminate special event permits that function as concessions. A California State Parks Information Officer Adeline Yee refuted the claim, and said they are now complying with concession rules. According to Yee, the Kings Beach district received several inquiries to open similar operations. To ensure equal opportunities, the State Park will follow a competitive bidding process.
Orr described Kings Beach as a “one in a million” location for him that became an integral part of the business. According to Orr, Super Swirl made over 20% of its revenue from Kings Beach. He said he spent around 35 days each summer season operating under a special event permit agreed upon by California State Parks. In recent years, Orr had hoped to obtain a concessions permit, but was instead told by California State Parks representatives to continue operating under his temporary permit.
Throughout his years at Kings Beach, Orr said no one ever complained or showed interest in opening a similar operation. Orr said he was told he could try submitting a proposal for a concession, which takes 12 to 18 months.
