TKPOA Rental Permit – 2021 Annual Fee By Heather Blumenthal, Operations Manager DURING THE OCTOBER 21ST, 2020 Board of Directors Regular Meeting, the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) Board approved the 2021 Operating and Reserve Budgets for Common, Water Company, Water Quality, and the Townhome Subdivisions. As part of the annual budget planning process the TKPOA Board, Finance Committee, and staff review fees and fines for the upcoming fiscal year, including the Annual TKPOA Vacation Home Rental (VHR) Permit Fee. These fees and fines are then approved as part of TKPOA’s Annual Budgets. For the 2021 calendar year, the TKPOA Annual VHR Permit Fee has been set at $525 as approved as part of the 2021 Annual Budget. During the budget planning process for 2021, the Board appointed a VHR Programs Ad Hoc Committee to review TKPOA’s Annual VHR Permit fee and good faith estimate for the purpose of making recommendations to the Board for the 2021 TKPOA VHR Permit Program and fee. At the September 16th, 2020 Joint Board of Directors and Finance Committee meeting, the Board of Directors approved the Ad Hoc Committee’s recommendation for an annual fee amount of $525 for 2021, this 2021 VHR Permit fee is to be prorated and billed monthly based on the VHR property’s CSLT VHR Permit expiration date during 2021. Due to the passage of Measure T, vacation home rentals will not be allowed within residential zones in

the City of South Lake Tahoe after 2021 and CSLT VHR Permits, as well as TKPOA VHR Permits, will not be renewed after their 2021 expiration date. The VHR Programs Ad Hoc Committee and TKPOA staff put together a good faith estimate of TKPOA’s reasonable costs associated with vacation rentals within the Association that includes maintenance of TKPOA Amenity facilities, use of TKPOA Amenity facilities by vacation renters, supply costs per department, staff time assisting vacation renters, staff time responding to vacation rental complaints and reporting, Water Quality expenses (for vacation renter boating), and other vacation rental related expenses. The good faith estimate also includes revenue collected from the daily and weekly pool passes and vacation renter boat stickers (for their boats docked within the townhome dock areas) and compares TKPOA’s estimated 2021 revenue to the estimated 2021 vacation rental program expenditures. Based on the staggered VHR Permit expiration dates throughout 2021, it is anticipated TKPOA will see a decrease in VHR expenses for the year. The TKPOA front desk operations typically has staffing at the TKPOA Pavilion Offices open from 8:30 am–4:30 pm seven days a week, Monday through Sunday. Currently the front desk is closed on the weekends due to COVID-19 safety precautions. The normal front desk hours are to accommodate property owners, property owners guests, and vacation rental guests. Currently our process to sell recreational passes is not an integrated

point of sale system, so the tracking of the types of “guests” these passes are sold to are through a manual system at the point of sale and also tracked at the point of entry at the indoor and outdoor pools. Our TKPOA Maintenance, Landscaping, Water Company, Water Quality, and Security Department respond to issues and concerns that occur in our overall community, our common areas and townhome common areas that are at times the result of impacts from vacation renters, from nuisance issues to damage to TKPOA property or homeowner property and to the increased usage of TKPOA lagoons and waterways. This is documented through Security Incident Reports, Maintenance Work Orders, Water Company and Water Quality Work Orders, Police Reports, Insurance Claims, Member Letters and Lawsuits filed against the TKPOA. As part of providing improved enforcement of the “Owner, Renter, and Vacation Policy, Rules, and Regulations” moving forward TKPOA staff has worked towards better classification of these nuisance calls. This is a public relations process at best, and often times this depends on the cooperation of the actual occupants alleged of a nuisance complaint to provide the TKPOA staff with accurate information. The TKPOA Board of Directors is allowed to implement an annual fee based on the provisions of the Davis-Stirling Act Civil Code section §5600. Duty to Levy Assessments; Fees to Defray Costs. “An association shall not impose or collect an

assessment or fee that exceeds the amount necessary to defray the costs for which it is levied.” The “Watts vs. Oak Shore Community Association” legal case gave the California Associations be ability to provide a good faith estimate that would be sufficient to determine this charge or fee. An Association can adopt different rules and fees for property owners who engaged in shortterm rentals. Each year the TKPOA provides property owners through the annual billing and the Annual Disclosure a mailing of all the fees. TKPOA bases its VHR property list on the City of South Lake Tahoe’s (CSLT) VHR list of properties within the City that have a current, valid permit with the CSLT. TKPOA pulls the addresses within the Tahoe Keys from the list to determine which properties must also register as a VHR with the Association. The CSLT list can be found on the City’s website at www.cityofslt.us. Information on TKPOA’s VHR Program can be found on the TKPOA website, www.tkpoa.com.

Status of the Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Restoration Project By Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager and Andrew Kopania, Water Quality Committee - Chairperson
ON DECEMBER 11TH, 2020, the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association
(TKPOA), received written notice of a “Regulatory Process Schedule Revision” for the TKPOA’s The Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Restoration Project from Mike Plaziak the Acting Executive Officer of the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (LRWQCB). This letter was a follow-up from the LRWQCB public workshop for the Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Restoration Project on Thursday, November 19th, 2020. The LRWQCB conducted an informational workshop that provided an overview of the Basin Plan pesticide prohibition exemption process and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting process for this important TKPOA proposed project. As part of this workshop they also received public comments, and presentations from the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), TKPOA and LRWQCB staff on the status of the draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS). After the review of this Public Workshop and meeting with the TKPOA staff and Water Quality Committee (WQC) it has been recommended by the LRWQCB staff to shift the schedule from March 2021 to September 2021 to bring the Final EIR/EIS, proposed Basin Plan Prohibition Exemption, and proposed NPDES permit for the Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Restoration Project (Project) before the LWQCB Board of Directors. Back in March 2019, LRWQCB staff expressed confidence that this overall permit action consisting of the above-referenced documents could be brought before the LRWQCB for consideration by spring 2021. In addition to this, Rob Tucker, LRWQCB Senior Water Resource Control Engineer, also attended the TKPOA Board of Directors – Regular Open Board meeting on March 16th, 2019 and provided an overview of the Basin Plan prohibition exemption, and proposed NPDES permit review timing at that meeting.

STATUS OF THE TAHOE KEYS LAGOONS AQUATIC RESTORATION PROJECT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11
LRWQCB staff has also attended the past fifteen TRPA – Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Restoration Project Stakeholders Committee meetings since 2018. The TKPOA had also recently provided a revised Aquatic Pesticide Application Plan (A.P.A.P.), based on the LRWQCB staff’s recent request for revisions. Unfortunately, conditions recently identified below by the LRWQCB staff have collectively contributed to this “Regulatory Process Schedule Revision” and a delay in this schedule: • In the fall 2019, the LRWQCB underwent a reorganization creating a temporary reduction in Staff available to work on the Project. That situation has been rectified for this Project. • The LRWQCB experienced significant resource reductions due to COVID-19 early this year as select staff were re-assigned to address critical contact tracing needs levied by the Governor to address public health agency shortfalls. Those reassignments continue in our region, yet the workload has not diminished and has been redistributed among staff. • Furloughs were implemented at the beginning of this fiscal year for all state employees. The consequence of the furlough is a reduction of two days per month in staff time and this has impacted the LRWQCB staff. • Following release of the Draft EIR/EIS (middle/late summer 2020), LRWQCB staff began assisting with responding to over 3,000 comments submitted on the Draft EIR/EIS. The unanticipated volume of comments on this document has required significant staff resources to address. • Work on the Basin Plan prohibition exemption and the draft NPDES permit revealed data gaps in the record supporting the prohibition exemption and NPDES permit. The LRWQCB staff concluded that the documents had either (1) not been updated to reflect significant changes to the Project proposal submitted in 2018; (2) had not undergone peer review required by Basin Plan prohibition exemption criteria; or (3) had not been provided.

The TKPOA staff, Water Quality Committee, contracted consultants, and related regulatory agencies do not fully agree with the last statement and will continue to investigate and respond to the three points in that statement. Based on a follow up meeting with LRWQCB staff, they will prepare a list of the remaining information needed to prepare the draft Basin Plan prohibition exemption and draft NPDES permit. What does this “Regulatory Process Schedule Revision” (which means a proposed eight-month delay or more) mean to the TKPOA property owners? First, it means that if we had received approval in March 2021 as planned for the Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Restoration Project the TKPOA would have moved forward with the Small-Scale Herbicide Testing in the West Channel Lagoons in the spring of 2021 when the environmental conditions are optimal and in accordance with our application. This means we miss this window for the spring of 2021 to move forward with this test. Based on receiving approval in September 2021 the Small-Scale Herbicide Testing in the West Channel Lagoons would be schedule for the spring of 2022. Second, this means that the TKPOA will have to provide additional documentation and data to respond to the additional requests and reviews currently alleged by the LRWQCB staff. This additional work on the Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Restoration Project application will further support the basis for a legally defensible application and potential LRWQCB approval. Third, this means that the conditions for RESOLUTION TKPOA #2019-0087 “Authorization to Pursue Regulatory Approvals for the Use of Aquatic Herbicides to Control Aquatic Invasive Weeds in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons” that was approved by TKPOA property owners vote will not be met in March 2021 that would have resulted in the “Third Payment of the Special Assessment.” This “Third Payment” would be not more than $600 conditioned on successful completion of the EIR/EIS required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the approval of the small-scale testing of aquatic herbicides. This payment would cover the cost of work required to receive the approvals for full-scale use of herbicides in the future. Based on this delay in the decision process and delay of the potential
JANUARY 2021

successful completion of the EIR/EIS, the TKPOA is now facing a funding issue for the work that may need to be performed to keep this process on track, as well as any additional work the TKPOA may want to perform in support of this application for the next eight months or more.
Moving Forward
Based on this “Regulatory Process Schedule Revision” that is causing a proposed eight-month delay, the TKPOA WQC will be continuing to work on the Aquatic Invasive Weed Control Methodology Test Project application support as well as implementing and evaluating some of the non-herbicide alternatives submitted as part of our application in the West Channel Lagoons. The TKPOA WQC and Water Quality Staff will also be contacting the Regulatory Agencies, Environmental Non-Profit Groups, member agencies of the Stakeholders Committee and Stakeholders Consultation Circle (SCC) that have been participating in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Restoration Project Stakeholders Committee meetings—conducted by the TRPA and Zephyr Collaboration for the support of the EIR/EIS process, to determine if there is any grant funding and/or Tahoe Keys Waterways Restoration Fund 501(c)3 (TKWRF) donations available. Based on the support identified, potential grant funding, TKWRF Funding and other TKPOA funding the following projects are proposed for the 2021 summer: • Continue the implementation of the Water Quality Assessment Second Payment Special Assessment Projects as approved by TKPOA Membership Vote • Continue the testing and evaluation of the existing TKPOA Lagoon Water Circulation System • Additional small-scale pump installations for lagoon water circulation system augmentation and evaluation • Additional West Channel Lagoon Bubble Curtain installation and evaluation • Support of Bubble Curtain installation in the East Channel (TRPA funded) • Evaluation of current Laminar Flow Aeration (LFA) system installation

|
• Additional small-scale LFA systems installation and evaluation • Ultraviolet (UV) light treatment applications and evaluation • Small-scale diver assisted hand AIS weed removal with suction implementation and evaluation • Floating Wetlands Program installation and evaluation • 2022 proposed TKPOA Small-Scale Herbicide Testing Project Planning • Ongoing evaluation of TKPOA Weed Harvesting programs to meet LRWQCB Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) As demonstrated, there is still additional work that can be done to move the Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Restoration Project forward with the best support of tested and scientifically based programs during this unfortunate delay. All of our Water Quality work and the special assessment payments can be characterized as an investment in the future of the Tahoe Keys. Greatly reducing or eliminating the aquatic weeds from the Tahoe Keys Lagoons is anticipated to improve the quality of boating, recreation, and aesthetics thereby improving property values throughout our community.

TAHOE KEYS WATER COMPANY—
UPDATE
By Daniel Larson – Water Company/ Water Quality Manager THE TAHOE KEYS WATER COMPANY (TKWC) sent a letter
dated December 22nd, 2020 to all Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) property owners which included the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Tier 2 Notification regarding the presence of Uranium in Well #2. The TKWC staff have been receiving calls regarding the safety of the water from our wells. We are communicating with the SWRCB on a regular basis and continue to monitor the contaminate levels (Uranium, Arsenic, and PCE) on a modified schedule. The TKWC staff are committed to providing safe water to our customers. To address these concerns, we can state the TKWC water does not present a health risk and yes, it is safe to drink. Naturally occurring Uranium and Arsenic has been detected in our TKWC [ID# 0910015] Water Distribution System in minimal levels since 2016. Our Well #2 has recently tested in excess of the Maximum Contamination Level (MCL) that is determined safe by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the SWRCB. On November 17th, 2020, Well #2 has tested for Uranium at 45.5 ppb which is above the SWRCB MCL of 30 ppb. The EPA defines the MCL in “parts per billion” (ppb) and the SWRCB defines the MCL in “picocuries” (pCi/L). (TKPOA test 28.5 pCi/L MCL 20.0 pCi/L) We notified the SWRCB immediately when we received our test results indicating elevated Uranium levels and took Well #2 off-line completely and isolated it from the water distribution system. As stated above we also notified all TKPOA property owners via mail on December 22nd, 2020, which included a letter from TKWC, EPA information on Uranium, and the SWRCB Notification, a copy of the information on the TKPOA webpage a www.tkpoa.com, and on the Pavilion bulletin board. Our source waters are now sampling for elevated levels of natural occurring Uranium and Arsenic at all Keys Breeze

three TKWC Wells. Wells #2 and #3 are either above the MCL or exceeding the benchmarks established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and our governing agency, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) for Uranium. Neither of these two wells are currently above the MCL for Arsenic even though Well #2 did spike above the MCL once. Well #1 is notably below the MCL for both Arsenic and Uranium, however it has sampled above 3.6 ppb for Perchloroethylene (PCE). Currently, we have configured Well #1 as our primary water source and restricted Well #3. The TKPOA Board of Directors have approved additional sampling and testing to ensure we stay ahead of any significant changes in our well water supply quality. Well #1 has tested slightly above ½ MCL for Uranium and is operating as our primary water source. Well #1 is capable of pumping slightly over 1000 GPM which should be adequate for the winter months. However, we are not sure what effect the continual operation of Well #1 as the primary water source will have on its PCE levels. Well #1 has tested recently at 3.6 and 3.4 ppb for PCE which is under the 5 ppb MCL but is close enough to warrant weekly monitoring. Well #3 has tested slightly above the MCL for Uranium two consecutive quarters, and in compliance with the “Compositing Rule (40 CFR 141.26(4))” if the next two quarterly samples test in excess of the MCL, the TKWC will be in violation of exceeding the MCL for Uranium. The Compositing Rule defined when testing for radionuclides (Gross Alpha, Radium, and Uranium) compliance will be determined by the “Average Analytical Results (AAR)” of four consecutive, quarterly tests in one year. If the sum of these four tests divided by four is greater than the MCL (30 ppb) the water purveyor is in violation of the MCL. Well #3 is capable of pumping slightly in excess of 1200 GPM and is currently operating as our secondary water source if it is needed to help keep up with demand.

To convert between pCi/L and ppb is an easy conversion (example 30 ppb X .67 = 20 pCi/L and 20 pCi/L X 1.49 = 30 ppb.)
The TKWC also has an inter-tie with South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD) which is approved by our SWRCB permit to provide up to 478 GPM in case of emergency. However, this inter-tie is solely owned and operated by STPUD. The TKPOA staff and Board of Director will be in communication with the STPUD to determine our options to meet our demand. These two contaminates are not uncommon in ground water sources here in California and around the Country, and there are tested, and proven, methods for removing these contaminates safely and reliably which are currently in operation around the Country. In addition to these contaminates, most of you are aware that the Water Purveyors in the South “Y” have been confronting an issue with Perchloroethylene (PCE) for past thirty years. PCE is a man-made chemical that has been deposed of improperly and has found its’ way into the local aquifers and ultimately our water supply. In 2008, the contamination level for PCE at our Well #2 exceeded the MCL that is determined safe by the EPA, and SWRCB. The TKPOA had to shut down Well #2 until an approved treatment process could be installed. In 2010 Well #2 was placed back online with two 20,000 lbs. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) vessels and carbon media to filter out the PCE. We continue to sample and test all three wells on a regular basis to monitor our water supply for PCE. Well #2 is still above the MCL but with the GAC filtration system it is PCE free. Our Well #3 has tested positive PCE once, and it was a very minimal level, Well #1 has traces of PCE contamination but it is currently below the MCL. Keys Breeze

On December 16th, 2020, the TKPOA Board of Directors have approved the immediate release of a “Request for Proposal” to water system Engineers and Consultants to analyze the most expedient solution to our contamination problems through a “Long Term Facilities Plan.” This plan will also address the ongoing PCE plume contamination that could affect the TKPOA water supply in the future. The TKWC is optimistic we will be able to provide sufficient amounts of water to meet the demand through the winter months, however the summer months may become a challenge. If you recall last summer when we temporarily lost power to the Well #3 VFD and lost pressure in the distribution system, the TKWC had to issue a “Boil Water” mandate. The TKWC estimated we were losing close to 2,000 gallonper-minute on the ground via the irrigation of Common Areas and Residential Landscaping, which significantly contributed to the loss of water pressure in the system. Possibly the most pressing question, right now, since we all consume the water is, “what are the health risks?” The Federal and State experts define the risks to Public Safety and we react accordingly. The MCL is the threshold the experts have determined is the maximum level of a contaminate which can be consumed before presenting a risk to Public Health.

Your December billing statement will detail the
TALLAC L O T
credit added to your account for you to use against your future quarterly assessment fees.
S A L E
By Keiron McCammon, Board Treasurer IN AUGUST 2019, we all voted to approve the sale of the new
buildable lot (620 Tahoe Keys Blvd.) separated from our 2016 purchase of the Lake Tallac Lagoon Property. The intent was to use the proceeds from this sale to pay back $167,285 owed to our Common Reserve due to unexpected legal fees incurred in previous years related to Tahoe Keys Marina & Yacht Club (TKM&YC), with any money leftover going to offset our 2020 operating expenses (resulting in a lower quarterly assessment fee for 2020).

The lot sold in August of this year for $250,000, and after fees and expenses related to the sale, we received a total of $235,985 in net proceeds. As part of the 2020 budget, the Board had estimated the net proceeds from the sale would be $265,000 and had expected there to be $97,715 leftover, after repaying our Common Reserve, to offset operational expenses that year. So we were about $30,000 short, unfortunately. Suffice to say, 2020 has been an unusual year by all measures. Even though the sale’s net proceeds were less than budgeted, we had a couple of unexpected but helpful surprises this year budgetwise. The first was a legal judgment in our favor against TKM&YC, reimbursing us for a portion of three years of legal action related to the enforcement of the 1991 Stipulated Judgment that established, amongst other things, our right to launch our boats for free. We were awarded by the Court $98,006 in legal fees (versus $181,466 that we spent), and TKM&YC finally paid us $105,789.55 in 2020, which included late fees and additional court costs. We used this payment to repay a good portion of the money owed to our Common Reserve, leaving an outstanding balance of $61,486 to be repaid. The second is unfortunate, but due to COVID-19 safety measures resulting in the closure of our indoor pool and front office, among other things, our operating expenses have been tracking significantly under budget. These two things combined meant that less of the Lake Tallac lot’s sale proceeds were required to repay what was owed to our Common Reserve and fund our 2020 operations. After careful review, the Finance Committee unanimously recommended that $126,784 of the Lake Tallac lot sale be returned to homeowners as an $82.97 credit to their accounts. On December 16th at the Board of Directors Regular Board Meeting, the Board approved this credit. It was the opinion of the Board that these funds should be distributed to homeowners in light of the original ballot to purchase the Lake Tallac Lagoon Property, which stated: “...any funds recovered will be returned to the TKPOA members either as a credit against future assessments or by check to TKPOA members of record at the time a distribution is made.” Your December billing statement will detail the credit added to your account for you to use against your future quarterly assessment fees. Your 1st Quarter 2021 statement will list this $82.97 credit and your “Amount Due” will reflect that this credit has been deducted from the 1st Quarter’s Assessment. If you have any questions or concerns, as always, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can email me at keiron@mccammon. me, or contact the TKPOA office at (530) 584-6444, Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Keys Breeze

Dear Tahoe Keys Property Owners: MANY OF US LIVE AND PLAY HERE because we know Lake
Tahoe is a special place. I feel fortunate to have spent the last 11 years serving as Executive Director of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA). A bistate compact created our agency 50 years ago to lead the regional initiatives to protect Lake Tahoe’s environment and strengthen our communities. Aquatic invasive species pose an enormous threat to our treasured lake. They destroy ecosystems around the globe and with them biological balance and economic stability. Since 2008, TRPA has been leading a broad collaborative partnership to combat invasive species in the Tahoe Region. As many of you know, we inspect every boat that enters Lake Tahoe to prevent new invasions, in addition to implementing control and eradication projects around the lake. Aquatic invasive weeds in the lagoons of the Tahoe Keys are growing out of control and are considered the number one priority for treatment. The shallow, warm waters in the Tahoe Keys create conditions favorable to the growth of aquatic weeds, causing the water’s murky green hue throughout the summer and greater risk of toxic algal blooms. The Tahoe Keys lagoons comprise the biggest aquatic weed infestation in Lake Tahoe at 172 acres. This infestation is more than five times larger than the Keys Breeze
|
combined area of all other marinas around Lake Tahoe. A science-based plan produced by the University of Nevada, Reno identifies the Tahoe Keys lagoons as the primary source for new infestations around the lake. This fall, we quickly deployed a team to work on a weed infestation of more than 100 acres just outside the Tahoe Keys west channel, with an initial investment of $150,000 of public and non-profit funds. This additional infestation within Lake Tahoe will be an ongoing project for the next few years that will require more resources to curb the spread. We know that the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association has been working on the aquatic weeds problem for decades, with significant time and financial investments. Despite that attention, we’ve lacked consensus on a path forward with support from the diverse interests of agencies, the public, and private property owners. Meanwhile, the weeds in the Tahoe Keys have grown worse with every passing year. I am grateful for your support and commitment to fighting aquatic invasive species in your backyard. You and your property owners’ association have tried and tried again, yet comprehensive solutions are elusive. Your work is appreciated and has shown us that the scale of this problem does not lend itself to any single solution. More generally, what decades of experience has revealed to everyone is that to solve the lake's toughest, most vexing problems — like invasive weeds at the
JANUARY 2021

20
Tahoe Keys — it often takes a much more collaborative approach to reach a total solution. Several years ago, we shifted our mindset to make the Tahoe Keys weeds infestation our collective problem. We agreed to move forward together with the common interest of protecting the Tahoe Keys, the lake, and Tahoe's $5 billion economy. The collaborative approach engages property owners with agencies, key stakeholders, and the public as partners rather than adversaries. With this collective goal in mind, TRPA set out to secure funding to contribute toward a supported solution. TRPA worked at the federal level for several years seeking special sources of funds and, over the last 3 years alone, we've contributed over $2 million to the cause. Those dollars from the federal Lake Tahoe Restoration Act and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers funded: • The technical studies and a comprehensive analysis of environmental impacts. • A facilitator to help work with stakeholders and the public. • Contributions to various treatment methods.
aquatic weeds within the Tahoe Keys lagoons. This summer, we released a Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report analyzing the potential effects of the tests of all available methods. Studies over the last two years show no harmful effects from the pilot test as proposed. The only thing that will have a significant negative environmental effect is to delay the tests and maintain the status quo. Lake Tahoe’s sensitive environment warrants moving carefully toward a final remedy, using testing first to assess effects without waiting so long that the problem becomes irreparable. Time is running out and we must act. Finding solutions to control and prevent aquatic weeds in the Tahoe Keys lagoons is not an easy problem to solve. The heart and success of hard solutions in Tahoe have been built as public private partnerships like this one we’ve created. We look forward to continuing to be a partner with you through every step of this journey. In the meantime, I encourage you to visit www. tahoekeysweeds.org to learn more about the proposed test project and next steps. Your committed partner in battling aquatic weeds,
TKPOA’s proposed pilot test would assess a variety of aquatic weed control methods, such as ultraviolet light, laminar flow aeration, and aquatic herbicides. This proposed test project will help determine which combination of methods is most effective in controlling

Speak NOW By Keiron McCammon, Treasurer
IN 2016, we had a record number of members vote on the ballot to purchase the Lake Tallac Lagoon Property. In total, 914 out of 1529 of us cast our ballots; that’s a pretty impressive percentage of homeowners that wanted their voice heard.
It’s time for your voice to be heard once again!
Please take a moment to participate in the 2020 member survey:
https://bit.ly/tkpoa-2020
Your Board needs your input to better shape our actions for the next year and guide our thinking going into the 2022 budget planning. Let us know what you think. It’ll only take 10 minutes and is completely anonymous unless you choose to give us your contact information at the end. The Board will treat all responses confidentially. We want to get as many members as we can to participate. We want to hear from both single-family homeowners and townhome/cove homeowners. We want to hear from full-time residents and second-home owners. We want to hear from those who have owned/lived here for fifteen, twenty, or thirty years and those who have only recently joined our community. Tell us what the best aspects of owning/living in the Tahoe Keys are? What are the worst parts? Do you feel the quarterly assessment of $735 for 2021 is too much, just right, or too little? Is there something that you think is missing from the Tahoe Keys you would like to see in the future?
Here’s the URL for the survey, simply type it into your browser:
https://bit.ly/tkpoa-2020
Or better still, scan this QR code with your phone’s camera: If you prefer pen and paper, here is a link to a printable survey that you can fill in by hand and mail to the Pavilion or drop it off at the front desk:

NOW THAT WINTER HAS ARRIVED and the Tahoe
Keys lagoons and waterways are covered with ice and snow, it is important to think about ice safety. TKPOA Water Quality and Security Departments along with the South Lake Tahoe Fire and Rescue recommend you never venture out on our frozen lagoons and waterways, as they are extremely unsafe. Please keep in mind:
Never allow children or pets to venture onto the ice.
In the event they fall through the ice, there is a high probability of injury or death. TKPOA rules pertaining to pets and City of South Lake Tahoe Animal Control Codes do not allow an unleashed pet to run or play on the ice.
By Gregory Hoover, AIS Management Coordinator/ Water Quality Supervisor
Recognize that ice will never be completely safe.
Conditions, and unseen or unknown factors, can render seemingly safe ice suddenly dangerous. Take all care and precautions to avoid mishaps and make sure you have a rescue plan in place, i.e.; throw able flotation device with an attached rope, for those who live on the water. Having a safety plan in place, should you see an ice incident, can save lives.
Understand that ice strength is not the same everywhere, not even on the same body of water.
It is difficult to judge the strength of ice based on appearance alone. Other factors including snow cover, currents, bubblers to prevent ice around boats, distribution of the load on the ice, schools of fish, and other factors affect the thickness and safety.

Find an alternative to playing on the lagoons.
Skaters can go to Heavenly Village Ice Rink (530) 542-4230 or the South Tahoe Ice Arena (530) 544-7465. There are many interesting trails in and near the Tahoe Keys for walking and snowshoeing. All people who venture out during winter should carry emergency supplies no matter how long they plan to be out or where they plan to go. Always make sure that someone knows where you are going and when you are expected to return.
Vacation Home Rental (VHR) Properties
Please inform your renters that the ice within our community is unsafe. Renters and their families should refrain from walking on it for their own safety. Refrain from throwing rocks, trash and other items on the ice.

Laminar Flow Aeration (LFA) Project Area
In the spring to 2019, the Water Quality Department introduced a new project in the TKPOA waterways. This project consists of 10 diffuser and over 8,000 feet of high pressure hose which covers approximately six acres of waterways operates nonstop throughout the year. One of the project goals is to have a continuous circulation of the water column. This will reduce the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to freeze and if it does freeze the ice will be thin and un-uniform which makes this area extremely dangerous. The LFA project is located in the waterways that are north of Venice Drive and between Christie Drive and Lucerne Way (refer to picture to the right). The TKPOA WQ staff has placed ice caution signs around the TKPOA waterways to remind the members, renters and visitors about the threat that ice pose (refer to pictures to the right).

on the Bylaws & CC&Rs By the TKPOA BYLAWS and CC&Rs Communication Ad Hoc Committee
The Ta NEW BYLAWS APPROVED — The vote on the Adoption
of Amended and Restated Bylaws was approved by the membership. The ballots were counted during the general Board meeting held December 16, by the Inspector of Election, Leon Malmed and eleven volunteers, at the TKPOA Pavilion. Official results were 540 votes “Yes” and 45 votes “No” out of a total of 585 valid ballots received. There were an additional nine ballots received that were invalid for a total of 594 ballots received overall. The “new” Bylaws are now in effect and will be integrated into operations and procedures by the Board and staff. Thank you to everyone who voted and a special thank you to Leon and all the volunteers! CC&RS COMING UP NEXT — Plans to update the CC&Rs should kick off later this month, starting with a comprehensive review of the proposed CC&Rs (4th Draft) by the members. This will be a major challenge since the current CC&Rs were last amended and restated in 1991—30 years ago. The review process should take about two months and will include reviews by TKPOA committees, a Town Hall, and use of the TKPOA website Forum. After the review, the Board will evaluate member input and approve a final draft Keys Breeze
