April 20th, 2022

Starting Monday May 2nd, 2022, the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA ) will no longer offer Bear Proof Trash Dumpsters at the TKPOA Pavilion located 356 Ala Wai Boulevard. The TKPOA will offer “Sunday Access Only” Bear Proof Dumpsters located at 2100 Texas Avenue, located at the Water Company Building in Mt. Tallac Village 2 from 9:00AM to 4:00PM.

• At the April 20th, 2022 Regular Open Session – Board of Directors Meeting, the Board unanimously approved a Board motion to no longer offer Bear Proof Trash Dumpsters at the TKPOA Pavilion located 356 Ala Wai Boulevard. The TKPOA will offer “Sunday Access Only” Bear Proof Dumpsters at 2100 Texas Avenue, located at the Water Company Building in Mt. Tallac Village 2 Subdivision from 9:00AM to 4:00PM staring on May 2nd, 2022, • From March 16th, 2022 to April 20th, 2022 the Board of Directors and the TKPOA Staff have received and responded to TKPOA Property Owners Comments on this decision. The results of these comments and responses were presented at the April 20th, 2022 Regular Open Session – Board of Directors Meeting. • At the March 16th, 2022 Regular Open Session – Board of Directors Meeting, the Board unanimously approved a Board motion to no longer offer Bear Proof Trash Dumpsters at the TKPOA Pavilion located 356 Ala Wai Boulevard, starting on May 2nd, 2022. This was based on the 2022 Board of Directors direction during the 2022 Annual Budget approvals, the TKPOA Staff have been directed to remove Trash Dumpster service from the Pavilion. • The reason for this change is the rising cost of trash service for the TKPOA and the City of South Lake Tahoe Residents, the forecasted costs for the 2022 Annual Budget is $134,400 for the year. Or in other terms $87.95 per TKPOA Property Owners per year or $21.99 per quarter. Keep in mind all TKPOA Property Owners already are required pay South Tahoe Refuse & Recycling Service (STR) for weekly residential trash service already, so in a sense they are double paying for this service and may not be even using the TKPOA Pavilion dumpsters. • The STR Transfer Station located at 2140 Ruth Avenue is open Monday through Saturday from 8:00AM-5:00PM for TKPOA Property Owners and City of South Lake Tahoe residents to deposit trash. TKPOA Property Owners will need to plan when departing on Sunday, since STR will not be open, and they may need to plan to visit the dump on Saturday and take home their remaining trash, or utilize the “Sunday Access Only” Bear Proof Dumpster located at 2100 Texas Avenue, at the Water Company Building in Mt. Tallac Village 2 from 9:00AM to 4:00PM • Starting Monday May 2nd,2022, it will be illegal to dump any trash at the TKPOA Pavilion, there will be no dumpsters located on the property. It will also be a TKPOA Rules Violation to dump at the Bear Proof Dumpsters located at 2100 Texas Avenue, at the Water Company Building in Mt. Tallac Village 2 from Monday through Saturday weekly, because access will be not allowed, and the dumpsters will be locked. • Any persons dumping trash will be prosecuted for illegal dumping on this property through the City of South (CSLT) Lake Tahoe Police Department - City Code: Chapter 4.150 Refuse and Garage: Ord. 409 § 1; Ord. 921 § 1. Code 1997 § 23-26. • Based on surveillance camera footage and security reports those persons illegally dumping at the TKPOA Pavilion property at 356 Ala Wai Boulevard will be prosecuted for this action. The TKPOA has installed new Security Cameras at the Pavilion along with signage to inform TKPOA Property Owners that illegal dumping will result in prosecution. • Based on surveillance camera footage and security reports those persons illegally dumping at the 2100 Texas Avenue, located at the Water Company Building in Mt. Tallac Village 2 from Monday through Saturday weekly, will be prosecuted for this action. The TKPOA will be installing new Security Cameras at the Water Company Building along with signage to inform TKPOA Property Owners that illegal dumping will result in prosecution.

• It will also be illegal to dump at the TKPOA Cove/ Townhome properties unless you are an actual Property Owner of the corresponding Cove/Townhome. The Cove/Townhome properties already have rules, signage and in some cases security cameras in place to prosecute illegal dumping. There is a $500 fine that can be enforced by the TKPOA as well as the CSLT Ordinance for unauthorized dumping on private property.

The TKPOA Board of Directors and TKPOA Staff would like to thank all TKPOA Property Owners in advance for their cooperation and consideration in this important change in our community trash management program, to make the Tahoe Keys a safe and clean community.
