Watch it live: South Lake Tahoe City Council meeting
Submitted by Editor on Tue, 05/29/2012 - 5:01pmUpdate 6PM: City Council votes 4-1 not hire a firm to do a search for a new city manager. Instead leaders agreed to wait 90 days, until Oct. 1, to decide if interim City Manager Nancy Kerry should get the job. In the meantime, a firm was selected to do a background check on Kerry. Council members repeatedly noted and praised Kerry as being ethical and knows the city and its functions and is therefore trustworthy, is the most qualified for the job and that doing a search for anyone else is too costly and therefore unnecessary. Councilman Tom Davis, who voted no, said for public transparency and ethical reasons, there ought to be a search, even though Kerry is the general favorite among the council.

City to recycle old truck
Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 11/20/2011 - 7:51pmBy Li Terrell
At the Nov. 1 South Lake Tahoe City Council meeting, there was a decision passed to use grant money from the state of California to purchase a new hybrid vehicle for use in the citywide recycling program.
The new Chevy Silverado hybrid is valued at $39,000, gets 20 miles to the gallon and will reduce emissions compared to the old truck currently in use. However, a lively discussion of whether the purchase would give the wrong impression regarding the city’s fiscal responsibility ensued.

Tentative Agreement Vote Postponed between Labor and City of South Lake Tahoe
Submitted by Li Terrell on Sun, 10/16/2011 - 7:04pm
UPDATE:(October 18, 12:30pm) The vote on the Tentative Agreement between General & Public Works and the City of South Lake Tahoe has been postponed to give both parties more time for review. The employee group will meet and vote on Friday, October 21. City council will then vote on the agreement at the next meeting which has not yet been scheduled.
"It was just too fast," said City of South Lake Tahoe Human Resource Director Janet Emmett. "It was obvious that they needed more time to educate their members and then we would need more time to review the agreement as well."
Meanwhile, the city council meets at 2pm today for the special budget meeting, and is expected to approve the layoff of 19 employees. This number is lower than the original proposed cuts in staff, and will spare the Streets Department from losing more than half of its workers.
South Lake Tahoe city budget fight looms large; layoffs eminent
Submitted by Li Terrell on Tue, 10/11/2011 - 4:46pmAs an early snowstorm descended on South Lake Tahoe the first week of October, the continuing winter of economic discontent looks bleak for the city’s budget woes and employees facing layoff. Seventeen positions are still on the chopping block. At least half of those positions are linked to street maintenance and snow removal operations. While negotiations between the bargaining units and the city continue to be held, there is a hint of an impasse — while the city functions on only an interim budget until the end of the month.
