“Thank you. Excuse me. I ran into a member of a local water district board over the weekend during the library ribbon cutting. And he again expressed this concern from Christian Valley about water supply. So would we require, would our planning review require a will serve from the water district?”

“So the short answer is yes. So the water district, if they don't have capacity to serve ADUs in their boundary, would be able to say they don't have capacity and we would not issue that permit.”

“So the Wilser would be asked for it. Okay. I just wanted to, that's the answer I gave him, and so I'm glad I was right for once. But maybe I remembered what staff had briefed me on. Thank you.”

“I just wanted to pull this item to make a couple of comments. The first federal summit for the Tahoe Basin was held in 1997. And I hate to admit I was there, and actually an adult participating at that time 30 years ago. But it brought together our state and federal, our tribes, and all the communities to talk about a shared commitment. As you know, so much of what happens in Lake Tahoe is ruled by that bi-state compact. And Senators Harry Reid and Senator Dianne Feinstein said, we need to have a federal summit every year to report the progress we're making to protecting the lake. and what…”

“16B, if I could real quick on the Youth Commission. Love this program. I absolutely love it and completely support what our HHS department does. Unfortunately, not all the kids in our county can participate because they are so distant. So I'm putting out a plea to the students that are participating this year and the leadership to think about ways to provide opportunities for leadership for those kids that can't drive to Rockland or Auburn on a weekly basis to participate, but could still have valuable lessons from it. So, just putting in a plea for maybe some remote or virtual opportunities,…”

“Thank you. I just had two items, quick items. I think many of us probably participated in National Night Out last week, and I was fortunate to have I think six in my district, I got to four of them, not up the hill in time, but I just wanted to thank our law enforcement officers, the ones in the room today, and all those that participated. It was great to see all the equipment and the kids and the seniors, it was kind of those demographics that attended most of these events and really learned a lot from our first responders, our sheriffs and our firemen. Very thankful for the outreach and the…”

“I thought they were great, except the last item was sewer pipe, and I'm glad that the cones were chosen. Maybe it's a challenge for next time.”

“I was just gonna suggest that perhaps we could take a look at what that would really, the financial implications of that, because It is typically built into the job qualifications. If you had somebody coming from outside the area, here's your salary, and it would be built into the competitive market. This is just from my previous experience, but I'm certainly willing to consider it. I just need to see the financial implications countywide, because it could be a huge change. Absolutely.”

“Thank you, thank you. I'm excited to get this completed and answer some of the public's concerns about this. Two points I didn't hear you speak to, and this may or may not be part of the study. First, I think the first one is, was TRPA involved as, and TTD involved in the transportation evacuation in the basin? Absolutely.”

“I appreciate that very much and I know a little bit about the PROTECT grant and the other efforts going on in the basin. The other comment I have is I sometimes think we neglect to really educate the public on safe refuge and what they can do to protect themselves if all else fails and I hear this all the time that people think they have to get out of an area And are afraid that they're not going to be able to get out and there are some steps they can take and and so I'm trying to I Understand a concern that we don't want to encourage people to stay when the sheriffs are asking them to…”

“Many, many, many winter storms where all exits were closed and people had to hunker down without power, without Wi-Fi, without necessarily having communications. So thank you.”

“And to those who don't have any vehicle, I know in Caldor Fire, TTD did run buses to evacuate folks out of the Tahoe Basin from South Lake Tahoe. And so buses and our micro mass transit may be part of the solution for those like J1s that are in town working in our restaurants and businesses that don't necessarily have personal vehicles here.”

“I just, I want to thank you for the flexibility of honoring what each community wants. They have different reasons and I think that was our direction we gave you last winter and I appreciate you bringing forward a recommendation that does that, accomplishes that. Thank you.”

“I always have something, don't I, it seems. I just want to report on a couple items. One is we had a great turnout at the Fire Expo on Saturday, and I want to thank all the partners between CAL FIRE, Placer County fire, local fire. Our sheriff's office was in a full display with the tactical unit, and all the kids loved that, as well as the helicopter dropping some water on folks. Our fire wise, our fire wise community advocates, fire safe councils, PG&E, PCWA, Animal Control, OES, I'm probably forgetting a few, but it was a tremendous turnout of community folks and really demonstrating our…”

“I just very much appreciate all of you and the hard work this is, challenging work, and I wish we didn't need to do this work, but because of you we're making a difference, and to see those results and more reports but less incidents, that means you're getting the word out. So thank you, and I appreciate the detailed report and all the work. Thank you.”

“Thanks, Amy. I was just amazed at the number of calls that you're triaging. And do you have background? Do you receive reports? Are these the same callers repeating at times? Are these all different callers?”

“I just wanted to thank you, Rob, and team for the incredible work you do on behalf of our county. I know. It is difficult and challenging, especially with some of the public input on tourism and the impacts of tourism and you've been by our side working with us to deliver the right messaging to our visitors and to support that and I really appreciate your efforts, thanks.”

“Well, I'll just add to that. In addition, we have the Municipal Advisory Council in Olympic Valley that heard this. We have forums, Susan, that you can attend and sign up for that as well through our office. And we'll make sure to connect you with that for future projects. I did want to make a couple of comments on this. So I was privileged to have met both Wayne and Sandy Polson. And their vision for this property was always a family compound. And that was what they had hoped to create, and they never did. And so we're so thrilled to see this project move forward, Susan, because they are…”
