Happy November and the return to winter conditions this week! I’m Stephanie Holloway and as the Tahoe Deputy CEO for Placer County, I wanted to reconnect with you. A few months ago, I shared an update about our team's renewed focus on enhancing engagement in eastern Placer County, and I want to emphasize how vital this connection is to our collective future. Over the next few weeks, we have additional meetings and events, and I’d like to personally invite you to participate.

Placer Board of Supervisors in Tahoe:

Next week, the Board of Supervisors will hold another two-day quarterly meeting in Kings Beach at the North Tahoe Event Center. As you may know, the supervisors typically hold four meetings a year in eastern Placer County, offering a valuable opportunity for local residents to engage directly with our board. County staff try to focus these meetings on specific topics that are important to eastern Placer County and the Lake Tahoe Basin.

The first meeting will start at 2 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 18, and feature items including:

All community members are encouraged to attend, and since it is open-house style, you can stop by at any point in the evening. We will also have a Spanish interpreter available, a kids coloring station and food to enjoy while you visit the stations. We look forward to seeing you Dec. 5.

Giving thanks and appreciation for your partnership

I’m grateful that you’ve already signed up for this monthly newsletter and my team and I look forward to keeping you informed with the latest updates and important information.  As we approach a new year, we’re excited to continue planning opportunities for engagement, including another Discover and Discuss event in the spring.

Your participation is always appreciated, and we value your continued connection to our community.

Thank you!

Winter is coming. That means our snowplows are too!
Public Works Deputy Director Matt Randall leads our Roads Division and he recently joined KTKE in Truckee to preview the work we do in higher elevations to keep everyone moving. In an average snowstorm, we’ll have about 250 miles to clear, but in a low, cold storm, we'll have as much as 600 miles to plow – it’s one of the biggest, and hardest, snow-removal operations in the state.

The initiative is part of the county's newly launched Regional Forest Health program, designed to protect lives, property, and natural resources from wildfire. The partnership to protect people, property, and ecosystems will stem across 650,000 forested acres. WATCH VIDEO
