Today, Brooke Laine enthusiastically announced that she will be asking the electorate to return her to the position of Supervisor of District V in El Dorado County on June 9, 2026. 

Brooke has consistently fought for all of the needs of District V, which includes Tahoma, Meeks Bay, Fallen Leaf, the City of South Lake Tahoe, Meyers Proper, Phillips, Twin Bridges, Strawberry, Kyburz, White Hall, and Pollock Pines.

“My desire to serve another term in office is firmly seeded in my passion for the well-being of all of our communities,” said Laine.  “I am responsive to you, the residents of El Dorado County.  I will continue to represent you and your priorities on a daily basis, as I have done since 2023.”

Accomplishments:

  •  Implemented a new Vacation Home Rental Ordinance
  • Fully funded a locally based (basin) code enforcement team
  • Implementing an Emerald Bay Transit Pilot Project – Summer 2025
  • Established an abatement process and, as a result, removed blight in Phillips and Pollock Pines (Little Norway & Taco Bell, respectively)
  • Helped negotiate the merger between Meeks Bay Fire & North Tahoe Fire
  • Continuing to work toward keeping the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) that is generated in the Basin returned to the basin to support the impacts from tourism.
  • Improved four crosswalks on Pony Express Trail in Pollock Pines.   One of those improvements was a direct result of the accident involving preschool children.
  • In spite of budget cuts, managed to keep a $1 million allocation toward Forebay Park.
  • Continuing to work on providing public transit in the unincorporated portion of the basin.
  • Helped relocate the crosswalk at Sierra House Elementary School, including blinking lights
  • Established a district-wide Community Advisory Council that meets quarterly and keeps me informed of the different issues
  • Established the Measure S Advisory Committee to oversee the proper expenditures of Measure S revenue.
  • Helped bring public awareness to the lack of adequate staffing levels for Snow Removal services.

All of the accomplishments listed above are a result of many people working together to bring about positive change.

For example, in order to implement a new Vacation Home Rental Ordinance, a dozen residents volunteered their time and experience to help assess the then-current ordinance and made recommendations to improve it.  Staff spent hours crafting the language to achieve the necessary recommendations, followed by the public process to approve new rules and enforcement around the use of Vacation Home Rentals in our neighborhoods.  Altogether, over 845 personnel hours went into the effort.

Brooke recently stated, “This is a full-time job and one that I am fully committed to.”  To reach  Brooke with comments or questions, please call 530-318-9107.
