SUCCESSFUL GOALS
SETTING YOUR GOALS is crucial to creating the life you love, having a sense of fulfillment, and being happy. With a new year and new decade upon us, now is a great time to chart a course to accomplish what is most important to you and set personal, professional and healthrelated goals.
Rely on Mental Performance By Ryan Carr
There are different aspects of setting goals, all of which depend on mental performance and addressing the psychological components of what you want to accomplish, and why, to be successful. Grab a piece of paper and get ready to break down those New Year resolutions into attainable goals that keep you accountable and mentally focused.
Ready to set successful goals for 2020? Don’t miss Barton Health’s free wellness lecture Thursday, January 9 at the Barton Center for Orthopedics & Wellness, from 6:00–7:00 p.m.
Outcome Goals
featuring insight from mental performance
How was this past year for you in regards to your personal and professional life, as well as your health? Write down one thing in each category you did well, one thing you have an opportunity to improve

upon, and one thing you were grateful for. Now that you have your positive energy going, let’s set Outcome Goals for the year ahead. Outcome Goals are something you want to achieve this year. Go ahead and reach for something that will challenge you, but not something that is not totally unrealistic. Outcome Goals can be for your personal life, professional life, and your overall health. A critical part of determining successful Outcome Goals is identifying why they are important to you. Make sure the reason speaks to you and is something worth working towards.
Process Goals
Next, write down what needs to happen for each Outcome Goal to be successful. These aspects are called Process Goals, and are things you have control over. For example, if your Outcome Goal is to lose 10 pounds, your Process Goals would help you get there. Committing to exercising outdoors two times per week for at least 60 minutes is a Process Goal. Try to have at least two Process Goals for each Outcome Goal. In this case, planning to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, or going to the gym twice each week for strength and cardio workouts are other Process Goals to help arrive at the desired outcome. Process Goals are where the fun lives. In the example above, if you are only focusing on losing 10 pounds, you won’t be happy until you get there. However, focusing on
the journey allows you to celebrate all the small victories along the way such as getting your workouts in and eating healthy.
Overcoming Barriers
The next part of successful goal setting is identifying the challenges that you may encounter along the way such as time, money, other people's priorities, and so on. By identifying the hurdles you might have to jump over, you won’t be surprised when they come up and you can formulate a game plan to work around them. Equally important is creating a support system who will help you in achieving those goals. Think about family, friends, coworkers, significant others who can assist you along the way. Select people for your support team who will give you a pat on the back when needed but also help you if you happen to get off-track.
Keep Your Mental Focus
Stay on-track and measure these goals by reflecting daily, weekly and monthly on your progress. Set a time in your day, week and month that you look back at your goals and check in with yourself. Put your Outcome and Process goals somewhere that you can see them often such as your bathroom mirror, on your desk, next to your bed, or on the refrigerator. Most importantly, make sure you enjoy the process of working towards your goals and have fun along the journey.

2018 TRPA BEST IN TKPOA Bubble Curtain and Seabin Project
By Gregory J. Hoover, TKPOA WQ Manager / AIS Management Coordinator THE TAHOE KEYS PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION
(TKPOA) was awarded the 2018 Tahoe Regional Planning
Agencies (TRPA) Best in Basin Award and a Certificate of Commendation from Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto for the West Channel Bubble Curtain and Seabin Project. The Water Quality Staff received this prestigious award with five other Lake Tahoe Basin Agencies at the December 18, 2019 TRPA Governing Board Meeting. The Best in the Basin awards program annually recognizes and showcases public and private projects that demonstrate exceptional planning, implementation, and compatibility with Lake Tahoe’s environment and communities. The TKPOA introduced the Boat Backup Station in the West Channel in 2016 to help combat the number of plant fragments that are transported into Lake Tahoe. During the 2018 season, TKPOA installed a Bubble Curtain in the West Channel to help reduce the number of fragments spreading out into Lake Tahoe. In 2019, TKPOA installed the first of two Seabins in the West Channel to further reduce the number of fragments spreading out into Lake Tahoe by halting the plants at the Bubble Curtain and collecting them into the Seabin. This is the first time that these two technologies have been combined together to form an intergraded system used for fragment control from Aquatic Plants. The objective of the Bubble Curtain and Seabin Project is to (1) create a barrier in the West Channel which would reduce the amount of plant fragments and debris from entering Lake Tahoe, (2) collect the diverted weed fragments and debris and (3) integrate these methods that have only been used independently of each other. This program aims to monitor and record the integration of these methods, and their efficiency and effectiveness. The bubble curtain setup design consists of a “V”shape formation. The purpose for this design was to
Keys Breeze
|
create three collection points for plant fragments and garbage to collect, one in the center and two on either of the channel near the bulkhead. The Seabin was placed on the West Channel bulkhead next to the Bubble Curtain. It was strategically placed at this location due to the Bubble Curtain design and placement. The Seabin, along with the Bubble Curtain, ran for 24 hours a day and seven days a week. The Bubble Curtain and Seabin collection and monitoring took place twice daily, five days a week from June, 2019 to October 2019. Over the 131 days of monitoring, 159.32 ft3 of weed fragments were collected, sorted and identified. These plants and their percentages were: Eurasian Water Milfoil, (Myriophyllum spicatum) 49.91%, Coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum) 29.94%, Curly Leaf Pondweed (Potamogeton crispus), 10.90%, Elodea (Elodea canadensis) 4.81%, Richardson Pondweed (Potamogeton richardsonii) 2.51%, Leafy Pondweed (Potamogeton foliosus) 1.0%, Common Bladderwort (Utricularia macrorhiza) 0.04%, other plants .35% and common grass clippings 0.18%. Due to the integration of these technologies and the success that the project has had in its first year, it was awarded the 2018 Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) Best in Basin. Due to the success that we have had, the WQ Staff is looking at installing both a similar system into the East Channel and smaller systems throughout the West Channel in the 2020/2021 seasons. We would like to thank Jessie Patterson and the League to Save Lake Tahoe who partnered with the TKPOA and provided $5000 in grant funding for this project. We would also like to thank the Water Quantity Committee and the Water Quantity Staff for all of their hard work on this project over the last two seasons.

Six Ways to be Water Safe in the Winter By TKPOA Water Company EVERY WINTER, Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) homeowners face the potential
damage and expense of frozen water pipes. Please remember to winterize your property before the cold weather sets in. Here are a few tips and reminders on winterization:
1. When leaving town, shut off your water at your Shut-off Valve unless you have hydronic heat or
other unusual conditions. If you do not have a Shut-Off Valve, seasonal water turn off requests can be made by calling the Tahoe Keys Water Company Office to schedule a shut off at (530) 542-6451. There is no service charge for turning the water off during normal business hours between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. however this type of request requires 48 hours’ notice. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to make sure the Shut-Off Value is accessible and cleared of any landscaping that prevents access or charges may be incurred to obtain access to this valve.
2. It is also important to leave the thermostat at a recommended 55 degrees or above when you
are away to prevent freezing of internal pipes. Don’t run the water in order to keep pipes from freezing. This is a costly waste of water and can cause water damage in certain circumstances.
3. Close vents and other openings that allow cold air to reach plumbing under the house. 4. Detach hoses and sprinklers from hose bibs. 5. Shut off, drain and remove backflow devices on irrigation systems. Store backflow devices inside to prevent damage.
6. Post written directions for water shutoff in home for emergency situations. Post emergency contact information for property management or our TKPOA Water Company personnel.
The TKPOA Water Company responds 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for water emergencies. Call (530) 318-4268 if you have a water emergency. When the Water Company responds to an emergency after business hours there is a charge of $75 per hour with a 2 hour minimum for the work performed. The TKPOA Water Department or TKPOA Office will attempt to contact the Homeowner if the water is turned off or requires additional work. Be sure we can reach you by keeping your contact information current with the Association. You can update your contact information by requesting a Property Owner Update form from the Front Desk at info@tahoekeyspoa.org. Information about the Water Company and related charges can be found on the TKPOA Website at www.tkpoa.com.

Tahoe Keys Boulevard Median Project Subcommittee CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3
The new prohibitions in the Executive Order apply to all Californians and will take effect immediately upon approval of the regulation by the Office of Administrative Law, these include:
term solution. Since 2017 TKPOA Staff has provided proposals for “phased” median landscaping projects, but based on cost and timing none have been approved to move forward. In past meetings with the City of South Lake Tahoe (CSLT) – Public Works Department they have indicated that they will take no responsibility for the medians that are located on the Tahoe Keys and Ala Wai Boulevards, even though these streets and medians have been dedicated to the City and they have also indicated they have no existing plans or schedules for street or curb maintenance to provide at this time. If you are interested in submitting a “Board SubCommittee Individual Request to be Appointed Form” for this “Tahoe Keys Boulevard Median Project Subcommittee”, or if you have any additional questions regarding this subcommittee please contact Angela LaTella, TKPOA Administrative Assistant at the TKPOA Office, at 356 Ala Wai Blvd., South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150, (530) 542-6444, or email at ALaTella@ tahoekeyspoa.org.
• Irrigation with potable water of ornamental turf on public street medians; Because of this Prohibition on watering public street medians, the TKPOA was required to stop watering the Tahoe Keys and Ala Wai Boulevard medians. On February 8th, 2017 the State of California – State Water Resources Control Board extended the “Emergency Regulations”, prohibitions against wasting Water. On April 26th, 2017 the State of California – State Water Resources Control Board rescinded this Prohibition. Since this Prohibition has been rescinded the TKPOA has only continued to provide drip irrigation to the trees on these medians and basic landscaping to trim and weed the existing turf per Board direction to continue water conservation efforts and to seek a long
IN PAST MEETINGS WITH THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE TAHOE (CSLT) – PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MEDIANS THAT ARE LOCATED ON THE TAHOE KEYS AND ALA WAI BOULEVARDS, EVEN THOUGH THESE STREETS AND MEDIANS HAVE BEEN DEDICATED TO THE CITY AND THEY HAVE ALSO INDICATED THEY HAVE NO EXISTING PLANS OR SCHEDULES FOR STREET OR CURB MAINTENANCE TO PROVIDE AT THIS TIME.

MEMBERSHIP VOTE to Replace the “Second Payment” of the Approved 2017 Water Quality Special Assessment By Kirk J. Wooldridge, General Manager
AT THE SATURDAY DECEMBER 21ST, 2019 Board of
Directors – Executive Session Board Meeting, the Board approved RESOLUTION TKPOA No. #2019-0087 to authorize a Vote of the TKPOA Membership. A Membership vote to replace the “Second Payment” of the Approved 2017 Water Quality Special Assessment for “The Authorization to Pursue Regulatory Approvals for the Use of Aquatic Herbicides to Control Aquatic Invasive Weeds in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons” [RESOLUTION TKPOA #2017-001] .
Water Quality Special Assessments:
There are two remaining payments of the already approved “2017 Water Quality Special Assessment” – each in the amount of $600 per TKPOA Property Owner ($1,200 total) that had been expected to be collected in 2019 and 2020 respectively. The Water Quality Committee (WQC) has recommended to the Board for a 2020 Water Quality Special
Keys Breeze
|
Assessment to replace the current approved “2017 Water Quality Special Assessment” – “Second Payment” to a reduced amount discussed later within this letter. The WQC proposes collecting the “Second Payment” during the first half of 2020. Furthermore, the WQC anticipates a delay in the collection of the Third Payment. This delay is based on the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (LRWQCB), and an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) required by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA). The TKPOA has been actively investigating approaches to control the aquatic invasive weeds in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons since 2011. To date the past and current Boards have proceeded with efforts to control the Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) weeds based upon input from experts, stakeholders, and community members, including TKPOA Property

Owners. We still believe the most feasible and cost-effective way to control the aquatic weeds is through the use of aquatic herbicides. In 2017, the TKPOA received a positive majority vote for the Ballot – RESOLUTION TKPOA #2017-001 for the “Authorization to Pursue Regulatory Approvals for the Use of Aquatic Herbicides to Control Aquatic Invasive Weeds in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons, and the Water Quality Special Assessment”. This positive vote authorized the Board to approve a Special Assessment of not more than $1,600 per property ($400, $600 and $600) to fund the actions necessary to obtain regulatory approvals for the use of aquatic herbicides. This positive vote allowed the Board to collect and bill for the “First Payment of the Special Assessment” of $400 in June 2017. This “First Payment” generated $611,600 in funding for this project. The final reconciliation has shown that all of the funds from the “First Payment” of the Special Assessment have been utilized during the 2017–2019 fiscal years, as reported in the May 2018 and June 2019 Keys Breeze monthly magazine.
The Remaining Two Payments as Voted — 2017
Per the 2017 “Authorization to Pursue Regulatory Approvals for the Use of Aquatic Herbicides to Control Aquatic Invasive Weeds in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons, and the Water Quality Special Assessment” Ballot language: “As planned the second payment would be not more than $600 conditioned on receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals to conduct a small-scale test of aquatic herbicides in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons and would be payable 45 days after receipt of approval and past due 30 days later. This payment would cover the cost of completing all aspects of a small-scale aquatic herbicide test and continued efforts to obtain grant funding. This is projected to occur in 2018”. “The third payment would be not more than $600 conditioned on successful completion of the small-scale herbicide test and acceptance of the test results and would be payable 45 days after receipt of regulatory approval of the small-scale test results and past due 30 days thereafter. This is projected to occur in 2019. This payment would cover the cost of work through gaining approval for full-scale use of herbicides during 2021, 2022, and 2023”. The TKPOA has been unable to collect the “Second and Third Payments” as stated above due to the requirements and timing of EIR required by CEQA and LRWQCB, and the EIS required by the TRPA.

THE GOOD NEWS – 2019 “Funding and Grants”
The TKPOA has successfully submitted the “Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Weed Control Methods Test Application” that triggered the need for EIR/EIS and CEQA. The Control Methods Test application proposes the use of targeted herbicides as one weed control method to test alongside and in combination with other methods to reduce and control the abundant growth of invasive and nuisance aquatic weeds that are compromising water quality and degrading beneficial uses of the Tahoe Keys lagoons, as well as threatening the future ecosystem and water quality of Lake Tahoe. The environmental analysis will determine if the use of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) approved herbicides can meet the strict environmental standards of Lake Tahoe’s classification as a Tier Three, Outstanding National Resource Water (ONRW). The original estimated cost of obtaining regulatory approvals that was presented in 2017 to use aquatic herbicides was estimated to be $2.4 million between 2017 and 2020. The Board, consultants and staff had worked very hard to identify all costs, expenses and anticipated receivables. The costs provided were the best estimates based on what is known at that time. Since this 2017 estimate was determined, the TRPA has been able to secure funding from the United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) – from the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act for up to $3.0 million dollars to conduct this regulatory process review of the TKPOA’s submitted application. Being the first of its kind, with a significant amount of data collection needed this is on the higher end of any EIS the TPRA has conducted. The “Facilitation Process” has been contracted with Zephyr Collaboration through 2021 for $250,000, the “Environmental Monitoring and Investigation” has been contracted with ESA for $750,000 and the “EIS/EIR Documentation” work has been contracted with TRC Solutions Inc. for $750,000. In additional to this the TRPA has contracted with Inventive Resources for Ultraviolent Light (UV) test applications by Boat for AIS weed control in the Tahoe Keys. At this time the total investment for this TKPOA application funded by the TRPA through 2021 is estimated at approximately: $2.5 million. With that said, this TKPOA application is a priority project at TRPA, they have staff assigned to this project that have spent over 2500 hours for calendar year 2019, which does not include the time of the TRPA Executive Director, legal, communications or finance teams.

TRPA currently plans to carry over the same level of commitment each year through 2021. The TRPA has worked diligently over the last several years carrying the message to Washington, D.C. and working with the Tahoe delegation to receive this federal funding dedicated to this project application, which has allowed the TRPA move forward with the environmental documentation and stakeholder process. The TRPA, as one of the lead agencies on this project, had convened a core committee of stakeholders to select neutral facilitation services and an independent environmental consulting firm for the environmental analysis process. This “Stakeholder Committee” is composed of representatives from LRWQCB, TKPOA, TRPA, Tahoe Water Suppliers Association, and The League to Save Lake Tahoe. This Stakeholder Committee provided the selection of Zephyr Collaboration, TRC Solutions, Inc., with the USACE funding these contracts. The goal of this collaborative, multi-stakeholder process is to ensure stakeholder concerns and perspectives are addressed during the environmental analysis, resulting in a project plan that is science-based, broadly supported, and effective at controlling aquatic weeds in the Tahoe Keys lagoons. The collaborative process design addresses a wide range of topics including establishing a project inquiry process , milestones that correspond with the EIR/ EIS analysis and permitting schedule, designing a transparent, collaborative process that includes broad stakeholder perspectives and concerns, inviting an even broader Stakeholder Consultation Circle (SCC) and public to workshops at strategic milestones, and developing public outreach materials including a project website: www.tahoekeysweed.org. The regulatory and collaborative process has now produced the required “Tahoe Keys Aquatic Weed Control Methods Test” Scoping Report as of October 31st, 2019. In addition to this TRPA funding the TKPOA has received multiyear grant funding from the League to Save Lake Tahoe to implement additional AIS Weed technology based projects which include: Laminar Flow Aeration (LFA) with 10 diffusers, the West Channel Bubble Curtain and Sea Bins. Much of these expenses were included in the TKPOA’s original estimates for the “Second and Third Payment” of “2017 Water Quality Special Assessment” of $600 each, representing $1.8 million dollars which was planned to be collected in 2019 and 2020 respectively. Now that the TKPOA and the WQC have reached these smaller project milestones with a better understanding of the future larger milestones, timing

and outside funding sources, it is time to review and reconcile these original approved plans for the “Second and Third Payment” of this approved “2017 Water Quality Special Assessment”.
Moving Forward 2019–2020
The Board and the WQC have now determined a replacement Special Assessment for “Second Payment” of the “2017 Water Quality Special Assessment” for the TKPOA Property Owners to vote on. The proposed new replacement “Second Payment” for the Special Assessment would be $400 per Property Owner to generate approximately $611,600 for costs to be incurred in the 2020-2021 Fiscal Years to support the “Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Weed Control Methods Test Application” and the EIR/ EIS and CEQA requirements. This “Second Payment” is less than the original $600 per Property Owner due to the current and projected future funding that has been provided through the TRPA EIR/EIS process, as well as additional grants. This “Second Payment” Special Assessment would replace the $600 Per Property Owner cost as approved in 2017.
At the Saturday October 19th, 2019 the Tahoe Key Property Owners Association (TKPOA) Board of Directors (Board) Regular Meeting, the Board approved the 2020 Operating Budget and Reserve Funding Plans that have resulted in Quarterly Assessment of $709. In additional to this reduction in the “Second Payment”, if approved, an additional reduction will be realized in the $709 Quarterly 2020 Assessment to $688 for the Quarterly 2020 Assessment for the Second, Third and Fourth quarters. The reduction in Quarterly Assessments would be due to the transfer of Water Quality Reserve Expenses scheduled for 2020 from the Quarterly Assessments to the new “Second Payment” Special Assessment for the “Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Weed Control Methods Test Application” and the EIR/EIS and CEQA requirements. If approved the replacement “Second Payment” $400 Special Assessment will be due in full by April 30th, 2020.

New "Second Payment" Special Assessment
$400
The “Third Payment” of the 2017 Water Quality Special Assessment” will continue to stand for now, conditioned on successful completion of the EIR required by the CEQA and LRWQCB, and an EIS required by the TRPA, 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. This third payment would be payable 45 days after receipt of regulatory approval for the small-scale tests to take place and past due 30 days thereafter. This will be reviewed and reconciled during the 2021 Annual Operating Budget development process. Moving forward, the use of projected to significantly reduce the density of the aquatic invasive species weeds so that they can be controlled in the future using non-herbicide control methods. The use of aquatic herbicides, combined with non-herbicide control Keys Breeze

methods, is projected to reduce the cost of future weed control activities (estimated harvesting cost reductions are 30% following the first year of herbicide use and an additional 50% following the second year of herbicide use as part of future TKPOA Water Quality – Operating Budgets).
What is the Effect of Your Vote?
A For (approval) vote would replace the “Second Payment” of the 2017 Water Quality Special Assessment of $600 with a revised replacement 2020 “Second Payment” a $400 Special Assessment and also reduce the Second, Third, and Fourth 2020 regular Quarterly Assessments from $709 to $688. The actions following approval by a majority of the TKPOA Property Owners voting would be:

The $611,600 generated from this “Second Payment” Special Assessment will be used to: • Provide technical and legal support for the application that was submitted in July 2019 for approval to conduct a 13.7-acre aquatic herbicide demonstration within the Tahoe Keys. • Continue AIS and Harmful Algae Bloom (HAB) Management with the use of new technology and equipment for the TKPOA Water Quality Staff and related Consultants • Continue and improve Nutrient Management in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons through analysis and testing of portions of the Circulation System, implementation and testing of “Offsite Source Management” projects • Continue Program Management to include the Technical Support for Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR’s), and the EIR/EIS process, Outside Services to Support the Association’s efforts and changing the current TKPOA staff AIS Technician positions from part time to full time for two years for required monitoring and sampling. • Continue efforts to obtain grant funds to reduce costs. • Continue outreach to non-member stakeholders and public education efforts.
All of these Special Assessment payments can be characterized as an investment in the future of the Tahoe Keys.
All of these 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. There are risks associated with pursuing permits for the use of aquatic herbicides in Lake Tahoe. The risks include: • The application for the small-scale aquatic herbicide demonstration in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons may not be approved. • The small-scale herbicide demonstration may not be deemed successful. • The application for permits for the full-scale use of herbicides in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons may not be approved. • Any of the regulatory permit processes could be stalled or stopped by challenges to the environmental impact evaluation process. These risks will be mitigated:
• The subsequent “Third Payment” Special Assessment
payment is conditioned on completion of defined milestones in the regulatory permit process. • The proposed small-scale aquatic herbicide demonstration will provide information on both the effectiveness of the aquatic herbicides and the practices needed to monitor and control the impact of the herbicides.

An Against (Disapprove) vote would direct the Board to continue the use of the current aquatic weed control methods consisting of continued harvesting, weed fragment control, and mandated monitoring and reporting. The actions following an Against vote would include: • TKPOA would continue to meet regulatory requirements with respect to monitoring and reporting as specified in the regulatory operating permit for the Tahoe Keys Lagoons. • TKPOA would continue to manually harvest aquatic weeds to keep the lagoons open to boat traffic and it would continue efforts to control the weed fragments created by harvesting. • TKPOA would take legal action as required to protect the Association from liability claims, regulatory actions, or third-party lawsuits. • Would not allow TKPOA to acquire better-suited equipment, which would thus prevent TKPOA from improving fragment collection around docks and difficult areas and would not allow TKPOA to try new ways to reduce HABs and improve water quality in the lagoons • The Second, Third, and Fourth 2020 regular Quarterly Assessments would not be reduced and would remain at $709, and could potentially increase in future years to maintain the same level of service because improvements in weed and HAB management would not be implemented. • The “2017 Water Quality Special Assessment” approved “Second Payment” would remain in effect at $600, along with the conditions required to trigger the collection of this assessment. There are risks associated with continuing historical methods of aquatic weed control. The risks include: • Allowing the aquatic invasive infestation to continue to grow increases future weed harvesting costs and negatively impacts boating, recreation, and water quality. This, in turn, adversely impacts property values and rental income. • Lack of action will continue to increase the spread of aquatic invasive weeds in Lake Tahoe. • The LRWQCB could mandate action (e.g. boat inspections prior to entering Lake Tahoe from the Tahoe Keys Lagoons, extensive use of bottom barriers each year until aquatic invasive weeds have been eradicated) which would likely increase future aquatic invasive weed control costs. This action could also lead to extended and costly litigation. • Under the Federal Clean Water Act, individuals could bring litigation to either force LRWQCB to act or to force TKPOA to act to control the aquatic invasive weeds.

THE TAHOE KEYS PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION (TKPOA)
WINTER SAFETY By Jesse Isaacson, Security Supervisor
Security Department would like to share some words of advice for travelers this winter. Roads will be full of cars, high winds and heavy snow storms that can create issues for those not prepared on the road. Every year, families travel to South Lake Tahoe for the winter months, leading to congested roadways and an increase in pedestrian traffic. Many of these travelers are foreign to winter weather and do not have much experience driving in icy conditions. TKPOA would like to remind owners and guests to be alert and courteous so that everyone can arrive at their destination and enjoy the season with their friends and loved ones. Many accidents occur every year due to unsafe driving in snow, ice and other wet conditions, such as driving too fast for conditions, following too closely, or failing to maintain a lane and over-correcting. In winter weather, motorists are reminded to drive slowly for conditions and leave space between their vehicle and others. Wearing a seat belt and focusing on the road are other important driving tips for any type of weather.
WINTER DRIVING TIPS
• Buckle up! • Only travel in winter weather when necessary, leave enough time to safely reach your destination and plan your route to help avoid snowy/icy areas and steep hills. • Remove snow and ice from all vehicle windows, mirrors, lights, turn signals and license plates. • Check your brakes, lights, and windshield wipers to make sure they are functioning properly.

• Warm up your vehicle and make sure your • • • • • • • • • • •
windshield is clear of ice and snow before driving. Be alert. Constantly scan the road for hazards and give yourself enough room to react safely. Turn on headlights to see and be seen. Avoid quick starts, stops, and fast turns. Accelerate, brake and steer smoothly and gradually. Reduce speed. Speed limits are based on normal road and weather conditions, not winter road conditions. Do not slam on brakes. Apply steady pressure on ABS-equipped vehicles and pump the brakes if necessary on non-ABS vehicles. Keep additional distance from other vehicles. Watch carefully for snow removal equipment. Do not pass without good distance and sight clearance. Use extra caution on bridges, ramps, overpasses and shaded areas- they may freeze first. If the vehicle begins to skid, steer in direction of the slide and slowly remove foot from accelerator. Be aware of black ice.
CARRY WITH YOU: Tire chains; Flashlight; Spare batteries; Ice scraper; Cell phone for emergency communication; Snow shovel; Flares; Jumper cables; Small bag of sand for wheel traction; Extra winter clothes, coat, gloves, socks; Blanket or sleeping bag; Non-perishable foods, water; First aid supplies, prescription medication; Battery-operated radio; Candles, matches or lighter.
Have a safe winter season everyone!

2019 TKPOA Member Volunteer Reception By Heather Blumenthal, Operations Manager THANK YOU TO OUR 2019 TKPOA VOLUNTEERS! TKPOA’s Annual
Volunteer Appreciation Reception was held at the Pavilion on the evening of Thursday, December 19th, 2019 to acknowledge our Volunteers’ time and commitment. It is the enthusiasm of volunteers and the mutual support of the members working together that makes the Tahoe Keys a great place to live! Whether you volunteered for an event, served on a committee, assisted with elections, or participated in one of the many tasks necessary to run a successful community, the TKPOA would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you that have done so much in the past year.
YOUR WILLINGNESS, DEDICATION, AND CONTRIBUTIONS ARE APPRECIATED!
