Wendy David now South Lake Tahoe mayor, Austin Sass mayor pro-tem

It was a changing of the guard during Monday's South Lake Tahoe City Council meeting. Wendy David moved from her position of mayor pro tem to mayor, and Austin Sass took over the second-in-command duties.

Councilmember Tom Davis, who has served as both mayor and mayor pro tem, was also interested in a fifth term in the pro tem spot but the nod went to Sass.

During the meeting the councilmembers divided up the committee posts. JoAnn Conner, who was publicly censured on October 19. was appointed to just one of the five committees she wanted to serve on. Tom Davis will be on three, Cole on three, Sass on three and David on five.

A few committees didn't have council members assigned to them during today's meeting as their function has either been completed or it was determined there was no longer a need. All of those will be brought back at the next council meeting in January to determine if the need really has disappeared or if the City should have representation.
