DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

These agencies include the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, the State of California Department of Transportation, the City of Placerville, the City of South Lake Tahoe, the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, and the California Tahoe Conservancy.
On June 11, 2013 (Item 16), the Board adopted Resolution 071-2013 authorizing the Transportation Division Director to submit applications, sign applications, and obtain and/or execute Use Permits, Encroachment Permits, Right of Entry Permits, and License Agreements to construct Capital Improvement Projects, Environmental Improvement Projects, and Maintenance Projects to allow the program implementation process to function more efficiently.
On April 18, 2017 (Item 6), the Board adopted Ordinance 5051, pertaining to the reorganization of the Community Development Agency. Due to the name changes of Community Development Services, Department of Transportation, and Director of Transportation, the Resolution requires updating.

Resolution 071-2013 contains references to the Community Development Agency, the Transportation Division, and Transportation Division Director.
