Most of the changes in the draft document will not need to wait for the TRPA’s scheduled adoption of the Regional Plan Update in 2012 to take effect. The TRPA Governing Board could vote to adopt the reformatted and more understandable version of the code in November of this year, according to the Agency.

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.
