CC&RS UPDATE

By: Ken Silveira, Bylaws and CC&Rs Ad Hoc Communications Committee and Board Treasurer This is an update on the long-term project to update the Association’s Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). The present CC&Rs were adopted in 1991 and the Association has been working to update the CC&Rs to reflect changes in laws and current standards for governing documents.

Water Quality Special Assessment "Third Payment" 18 First Quarter 2022 Project Update 21

Last year, due to important changes in laws that took effect in 2020 and 2021, the Association conducted a comprehensive membership review of the most recent version of the proposed CC&Rs (4th Draft). As a result of that membership review, the Board approved some changes to the proposed CC&Rs, which required further research. In addition, evolving changes in the insurance industry also required additional research.

The Committee is in the process of completing its research and expects to make recommendations to the Board next month. It is possible a membership vote to approve an updated version of the CC&Rs (5th Draft) could happen this summer. The vote process would be a major undertaking and could take several months to complete.

The current CC&Rs (1991) and the version of the proposed CC&Rs (4th Draft) previously reviewed by the membership along with other project information can be found on the website in the documents folder.

For more information about the project, contact General Manager Kirk Wooldridge at (530) 542-6444 ext. 224 or kwooldridge@tahoekeyspoa.org, or the Bylaws and CC&Rs Ad Hoc Communications Committee.

SUGAR ALCOHOLS: WHAT ARE THEY? ARE THEY SAFE?

Keys Breeze

|

MARCH 2022

|

Over the millennia, sweet foods have enabled humans to survive; sugar in the form of glucose is the primary fuel our bodies use as energy, and adding sugar to food acts as a preservative. Most people would likely report sugar as the pleasurable taste in food.

That pleasant, sweet taste has led to thousands of food, beverage, and snack products oozing with refined and purified plant sugars such as corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, white cane, and beet sugar (“sucrose”). While tasty, consuming sugar increases insulin levels, which can contribute to major problems like obesity and diabetes, along with dental cavities.

Consumer demand for alternate sources of sugar has led to the development of sugar substitutes. Let’s demystify one—“Polyols,” also known as “Sugar Alcohols.”

Contrary to the name, sugar alcohols are not sugar nor do they contain alcohol. Some sugar alcohols come from plant products such as fruits and vegetables, but most are artificial.

or syrups. Other benefits include fewer calories, easier blood sugar management, and less dental risk.

While sugar alcohols can be a safe modification to your diet, they are not a slam dunk, and should be consumed in moderation. Unlike sugars naturally found in plant and dairy products, sugar alcohols are not digested fully, and overconsumption can cause mild to moderate gas and bloating.

Since sugar alcohols are not truly sugars by a chemist’s definition, they are not included in the total grams of sugar on a product’s label. A food manufacturer can claim “sugar-free'' on the label with sugar alcohols present, if no other sugars are in the food item. You’ll often see this on normally high-sugar foods, like baked goods, candy, and gums.

In summary, modest amounts of products containing sugar alcohols can be eaten as part of a healthy diet.

Speak with your health care provider or a registered dietitian about a healthy diet that supports your unique condition and lifestyle.

Sugar alcohols are used as a substitute for sugar in a wide range of food products including chocolates, ice cream, baked goods, chewing gum, candy, mints, cough drops, and even toothpaste. Common names for sugar alcohols include sorbitol, xylitol, isomalt, and mannitol.

As a sugar substitute, they possess approximately 2 calories/gram which is about half the calories of regular sugar and other sweeteners like brown sugar, honey

LIBERTY SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE Liberty is making renewable energy goals and an ongoing commitment to sustainability a reality As the importance and benefits of renewable energy grow, many of our communities and commercial customers set increasingly ambitious renewable energy goals. Liberty continues to work with members of our community in pursuit of those enterprising goals as well as a commitment to be carbon neutral by 2050 enterprise-wide.

In November 2019, Liberty’s second solar facility, the 10-megawatt Turquoise Solar Facility, was added to the fleet. Together, these two facilities reduced the amount of power that needed to be purchased from other sources and are responsible for Liberty’s ability to serve 100% solar power at many times throughout the year.

In addition to the renewable mix purchased from NV Energy, the power generated by Liberty’s two solar farms has put Liberty at almost 40% renewable energy, ahead of California’s Renewables Portfolio Standard goal.

Did you know that, at many times during the day, you are already using 100% solar energy?

In April 2021, Liberty filed an application with the California Public Utilities Commission to double the size During the spring, summer, and fall, there are many days of the Luning facility by adding another 60-megawatts of when the majority, if not 100%, of the energy used in solar power generation and 240MWh of battery storage Liberty’s service area is derived from our solar projects. to deploy solar power at night.

What else is Liberty doing to be sustainable?

Where does Liberty’s remaining electricity come from?

Beyond renewable energy projects, Liberty continues to pursue other projects that will improve resiliency Liberty is a unique utility in the sense that we are and sustainability. Liberty recently completed its first physically located in California but electrically connected microgrid project at the Sagehen Creek Field Station. This to Nevada. Liberty customers consume energy served by 20-kilowatt system combines solar and battery storage transmission lines coming from northern Nevada via the for local use but can also tie back to the full system, NV Energy infrastructure.

Liberty constructs its solar projects in the Nevada In 2021, Liberty began offering an electric vehicle desert close to the NV Energy transmission lines, so the (EV) charger incentive, providing qualified residential solar-generated energy feeds easily into NV Energy’s customers up to $1,500 and small business customers up system for transmission up to Liberty’s service area. to $2,500 to install EV chargers at their home or business.

Liberty’s smaller Turquoise facility is located just off Interstate 80, a few miles east of Sparks, NV. Liberty’s larger Luning facility is located in Luning, NV just outside of Hawthorn, NV. The facilities produce 30% of Liberty’s total load and nearly 100% of Liberty’s daytime load.

What are Liberty’s plans to achieve 100% renewables?

Liberty’s first solar generation facility, the 50-megawatt Luning solar site was commissioned in February 2017.

Liberty will be filing a Resiliency Program application with the California Public Utilities Commission in 2022.

This program, if approved, will initially provide a backup battery solution to medical baseline customers and critical facilities, such as grocery stores, gas stations, and public facilities to aid in power outage resiliency and community safety. This program will also be offered to Liberty’s large commercial customers. The backup battery solution will be made available via a modest monthly fee, rather than a large, one-time customer investment to purchase and install these systems.

THE TKPOA HAS ALLOWED BEAR BOXES SINCE 2017 By: Linda Callahan, Architectural Control Department Manager A recent article posted in the Tahoe Daily Tribune on February 25th, 2022 titled “Tahoe Bear Illuminates Cracks in Neighbor Refuse Policy” provided incorrect information. The Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) does allow bear boxes and has for the past 4 years.

the need for STR to convert the present service of STR staff handling 32-gallon garbage cans into an automated hydraulic service that does the heavy-lifting into the trucks. STR staff lifting these very heavy loads takes a physical toll on their workers.

The Association has always been reviewing Bear Box requests. This is nothing new. As with all other changes and revisions to the exteriors of properties within the Association, Property Owners need to submit an Architectural Control Committee (ACC) application for consideration. The ACC looks at several factors when it comes to bear boxes. Firstly, it needs to be placed out of the 20-foot front setback and should be screened from view from the street. This can be accomplished with plant material or placement behind an existing structure such as a pilar or tree. To date, ACC has approved 10 out of 11 submitted Bear Boxes Applications within the TKPOA.

In concurrence with STR’s new proposed program, the ACC will be reviewing and developing new draft rules for garbage storage and the positioning and screening of enclosures. These rules will be announced in the Keys Breeze for a 28-day member comment period prior to potential adoption or modification by the Board of Directors.

The TKPOA would like to invite TKPOA property owners to stop-by the TKPOA Pavilion then give your feedback on the new system to the ACD Staff at the pavilion, or by email to Lcallahan@tahoekeyspoa.org.

If you are interested in installing a bear box, please The ACC and Architectural Control Department (ACD) submit an Unclassified Modification Application to Staff have met with representatives from CA Department the ACC for review. The approximate cost of a Bear Box of Fish & Wildlife and South Tahoe Refuse Company Installation is $2500 - $5000. Local Bear Box companies (STR). STR is considering a new trash tote container can provide the installation. This application can be program though it is not yet finalized. We are referring to found on the TKPOA website at www.TKPOA.com under it as a “Pilot Program” for now. documents, or at the TKPOA pavilion front desk. ACC Staff will also email you an application upon request.

TKPOA property owners may view an example of the new design garbage “tote enclosure” that may be provided by STR currently displayed at the TKPOA Pavilion located at 356 Ala Wai Blvd. The wheeled totes hold 65-gallon capacity (equal to 2 standard garbage cans). STR has reported that these enclosures are bear/ animal proof. Some might refer to these new systems as “bear boxes”, but STR is using a new description (totes & enclosures). The steel enclosures are set close to ground level so a full tote (very heavy) can be wheeled in and out easily. STR proposes to test a wholly new trash pickup service over the next two years.

Water Quality Special Assessment “Third Payment” By: Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager

The “Third Payment” of the 2017 Water Quality Special Assessment” has now become a reality based on the required approvals by the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (LRWQCB) and Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA).

As stated in Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) RESOLUTION No. #2019-0087: “The third payment would be not more than $600 conditioned on successful completion of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and LRWQCB, and an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) required by the TRPA, for the approval of the small scale testing of aquatic herbicides”.

On January 26th, 2022, the TRPA Governing Board unanimously approved the Certification of the Final EIS and approved the Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Weed Control Methods Test (CMT) Project, [TRPA Project File# EIPC201-001] as submitted by the TKPOA. On January 13th, 2022, LRWQCB also unanimously approved the Issuance of Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Weed Control Methods Test - National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit, the Certification of Final Environmental Impact Report and Adoption of Resolution Granting an Exemption to the Aquatic Pesticide Discharge Prohibition, and Adoption of Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.

These approvals are the culmination of more than a decade of work by the Water Quality Department, Environmental Consultants, and the countless volunteer hours dedicated by TKPOA Property Owners on Water Quality Committee (WQC), and the Board of Directors.

2020 WATER QUALITY SPECIAL ASSESSMENT “RE-VOTE” The “Third Payment” of the Water Quality Special Assessment for “The Authorization to Pursue Regulatory Approvals for the Use of Aquatic Herbicides to Control Keys Breeze

|

Aquatic Invasive Weeds in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons” [RESOLUTION TKPOA #2017-0001] was originally voted on in 2017 and re-voted on in 2020. The 2020 Membership re-vote replaced the “Second Payment” of the approved 2017 Water Quality Special Assessment and passed successfully on April 4th, 2020. The Board of Directors then approved RESOLUTION TKPOA No. #2019-0087 to authorize replacement the “Second Payment” and to continue with the “Third Payment”.

The “Third Payment” of this Special Assessment is $600 per Property Owner. This will generate approximately $916,800 for costs to be incurred in the 2021-2022 Fiscal Years to support the “Tahoe Keys Lagoons Aquatic Weed CMT implementation” during the spring of 2022.

The approval of this third assessment and it’s timing will allow for: • Program management, technical and legal support for the Control Methods Test (CMT) to conduct a 16.9-acre aquatic herbicide demonstration within the Tahoe Keys Lagoons during the spring of 2022.

• TKPOA Water Quality Department support staffing to provide technical and logistic support of the CMT. • Legal Support for the CMT to conduct a 16.9-acre aquatic herbicide demonstration within the Tahoe Keys Lagoons during the spring of 2022.

• Equipment and supplies required to conduct the CMT, and to become part of the Water Quality Department operations as needed.

• Continue the work required to receive the approvals for full-scale use of herbicides in the future.

• Project contingency for any additional required expenses.

• Continuing of Harmful Algae Bloom (HAB) management as required by the CMT. • Continuation and improvement in nutrient management in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons through analysis and testing of Laminar Flow Aeration (LFA).

• Continuation of Program management to include the technical support for Ultraviolet Light (UV-C) application.

• Efforts will continue to seek to obtain grant funds to reduce costs.

• Continue outreach to non-member stakeholders and public education efforts.

funding commitment is unusual for a project conducted on private property, however because the Tahoe Keys is the #1 priority location for Aquatic Invasive Species Control in Lake Tahoe and this project will help contribute to lake-wide weed control, a funding commitment was established. This federal funding supported the following: • A collaborative, public stakeholder process to inform the development of the project and environmental review. This was conducted through a contract with an impartial facilitation team, Zephyr Collaboration.

• Extensive baseline data collection and monitoring • The preparation of the Environmental Impact Report/Statement (EIR/EIS) conducted by an independent technical consultant, TRC Environmental. The EIR/ EIS includes a comprehensive environmental review and analysis of potential environmental impacts of the project and identified mitigations for those potential impacts.

• Preliminary testing of UV-Light weed treatment • Installation of a bubble curtain in the East Channel (along with funding from the League to Save Lake Tahoe) • Establishment of the project website: www. tahoekeysweeds.org For the 2022 implementation of the CMT, TRPA is providing additional funding in the range of $1-$1.5 million to conduct independent third-party monitoring. The final amount will be determined once the RFP review is complete, and contracts established. These funds will be utilized to pay for the required permit monitoring, including how well weed treatments work, and lab services. Based on this TRPA funding, the TKPOA agrees to pick up more of the costs of Group B methods in years two and three (divers & bottom barriers, but not UV-C treatment). Implementation and funding details for years two and three are still under review as well as requirements for monitoring, lab services, and control methods implementation.

In addition to this TRPA funding the TKPOA has received multiyear grant funding from the League to Save Lake FUNDING AND GRANTS Tahoe to implement additional AIS Weed technologyThe TKPOA has invested $5.7 Million in the Integrated based projects which include: Laminar Flow Aeration Management Plan (IMP) for the Aquatic Invasives Species (LFA) with diffusers, the West Channel Bubble Curtain program in the past seven years.

Figure 1: Areas A, B and C are restricted from April 18th, 2022 until as late as mid-July 2022.

This Emergency Rule is required due to the Tahoe Keys West Lagoon/Lake Tallac Control Methods Test (CMT) taking place, and the installation of turbidity curtains and barriers in these treatment areas. The CMT taking place during this time period will cost the TKPOA up to $3.0 million dollars, and any interference with these tests sites by homeowner or outsider swimmers, pets, boats, sailboats, personal watercrafts, kayaks, canoes or stand-up paddleboards and similar watercraft could compromise the entire CMT and result in significant financial impact to TKPOA plus years of delays to solving the weeds problem.

TKPOA 2022 Control Methods Test (CMT) Waterway Usage, Recommendations, and Information The Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) Board of Directors, pursuant to Civil Code Section 4360, has adopted an Emergency Rule addressing boating restrictions that will be put into place in the Tahoe Keys West Lagoon waterways during the Water Quality Control Methods Test (CMT). The restrictions will be in place from April 18th, 2022 to latest mid July 2022, unless rescinded, and will significantly impact TKPOA Property Owners and their ability to navigate the waterways.

areas (Area A, B and C) from April 18th, 2022 until the test parameters are met and the barriers removed. We anticipate test completion by late June but it is possible that restrictions are in place until mid-July 2022.

2.

Do not interfere with the scientists conducting on-water sampling and monitoring.

There will be numerous on-water TKPOA WQ Staff and third-party contractors who need to adhere to a strict monitoring and sampling schedule.

The CMT will test herbicides in 15 sites and UV-C light in 9 sites of approximately one acre each. The 15 herbicide test sites will be divided into three large ‘test areas’ (see map below). Starting April 18th, 2022, turbidity curtains will be installed to block off the three ‘test areas' from the central lagoon and lake itself.

3.

If you rent out your dock slips to outside parties, it is your responsibility to ensure your renters do not violate the Emergency Rule.

Homeowners will be held personally responsible for their actions and the actions of their guests or slip renters for any violations to the Emergency Rule, which could include fines up to $10,000.

Given the importance of strictly meeting all CMT permit conditions (there are significant penalties for any violations) and the extremely high cost of this test, violations of the Emergency Rule will be subject to fines as high as $10,000.

BOATING RECOMMENDATIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION: Given the importance of this Control Methods Test (CMT), the TKPOA is seeking the support and commitment of all TKPOA Property Owners. The following Boating Recommendations will assist the TKPOA in producing successful results during the CMT time period in 2022.

1.

Do NOT launch your boat until after the CMT Test (estimation mid July 2022).

The TKPOA Board of Directors (BOD) encourages all Property Owners and dock renters in the Test Areas to NOT launch their boats for the season until after the CMT project is complete and all barriers are removed.

All water activities will be prohibited inside the test Keys Breeze

|

4.

Do not interfere with the barriers/buoys in the restricted areas.

In April, in preparation for the test, the TKPOA Water Quality Department is required to install turbidity curtains to seal off the three “test areas” (Areas A, B and C) from the central lagoon and the lake itself. Boats of any kind will not be allowed to enter or exit or operate within the three “test areas” after April 17th, 2022.

5.

TKPOA BOD has approved water access for kayaks, canoes and stand-up paddleboards from TKPOA Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) ramps in the non-restricted areas, during this boating restriction period.

Access for launching and recovering kayaks, canoes or stand-up paddleboards in non-restricted areas will be permitted at TKPOA AIS ramps on Christie Drive, Wedeln Court, Traverse Court, and Slalom Court. Property Owner parking and storage is not authorized on TKPOA ramps.

Use of AIS ramps by Property Owners cannot interfere with TKPOA staff or third party operations. TKPOA ramps
