about shrubbery and Jim said that when Victor starts, the two of them would
work with Tahoe Tree to see what may be available.

won’t be installed until staff begins. He explained how the issue was

regarding the funding and work progress. The Regional Water Quality Control

and moving forward. The well should be cleared within 6-9 months and will be
monitored for a year. Assuming that there are no issues during that period,
Lahontan will grant final approval. Bob explained the funding available to
move forward, Lahontan’s requirements for cleaning the well, and the testing
that will done during the monitoring period. He has asked Milt to secure a
written commitment from Lahontan that after the requirements outlined above
have been met, the process is done.

regarding smoking at the Beach.
ACTION: This item will be put on the Annual Meeting agenda.
Bob has received a request for Supervisor Bruce Kranz to address the
Annual Meeting to seek support for a grant being submitted for the
construction of water tanks to be used for fire suppression. Discussion
followed. While the Board was supportive of the topic, they considered
allowing the Annual Meeting as a forum for elected officials to address the
membership, noting that this is not a typical Homeowner’s Association, it
only deals with the Beach.
ACTION: North Tahoe Fire District will be invited to the Annual
Meeting to address the membership on this topic.
It was moved by Greg and seconded by Bob that it shall be the
policy of the Association that elected officials, politicians, or those
seeking office shall not be invited to address the Annual Meetings unless it
is on a topic that directly affects the Beach property. However, written
material can be submitted for distribution. Motion carried unanimously.
It was moved by Bob and seconded by Margaret to authorize the Board
to invite the North Tahoe Fire Department or any other public agency to the
Annual Meeting to address fire suppression and/or that the NTFD be allowed
to set up a table for distribution of related materials in order to explain
and garner support for projects. Motion carried unanimously.
Beverly asked if the increased costs have affected the number of parties
at the Beach. Jim said that although it is still a bit early to tell, there
has been no negative feedback from those renting the Beach for weddings.The
Board considered a recognition party for Victor and agreed to wait until his
25th anniversary. Jim said that the gatehouse would be painted this year.
