The City of South Lake Tahoe established a Joint Powers Agreement in 1989 for the purchase of snow removal equipment within the City of South Lake Tahoe (SLT). The City of SLT Public Works Department is responsible for the overall program. The Environmental Management Department administers the collection and benefit assessment.
The Mosquito Abatement Program, established in 1963, is applicable to City and County parcels within the Tahoe Basin. A summary of the benefit assessments are attached as Table 1 CSA #3.
Reason for Recommendation:
The City Council of the City of South Lake Tahoe on April 3, 2007 held a public hearing regarding the $20 benefit assessment for Snow Removal Equipment. The City Council unanimously approved the continued benefit assessment of $20 in accordance with the extension of the Joint Powers Agreement for the purpose of continuing snow removal services within CSA #3.
The hearing to adopt the proposed benefit assessments has been duly noticed in accordance with Section 6066 of the California Government Code.
