By Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager AT THE SEPTEMBER 27TH, 2021 Special Open Board Meeting, the Tahoe Keys Property Owners’ Association (TKPOA ) Board of Directors approved an Emergency Assessment to fund the cost of the Tahoe Keys Water Company (TKWC) short and intermediate term projects. The TKPOA Board of Directors has determined there is an urgent need to fund projects required to ensure safe drinking water and landscape irrigation water to the TKPOA property owners. The planned repairs to the TKWC water distribution system are essential to cure a threat to the personal safety of the TKPOA property owners and their guests. This Emergency Assessment will fund the $1.9 million dollars in short- and intermediate-term projects the Association implemented since March 11th, 2021, to address the naturally-occurring uranium contamination discovered in Well #2 and Well #3. In December 2020, TKPOA initiated the Request for Proposal (RFP) process to contract with a qualified Engineering Firm to develop a TKWC Long Term Facilities Plan and to concurrently “fast track” solutions to address the uranium contamination and water capacity issues in order to provide drinking and household water to the TKPOA property owners, and to determine the costs to address any imminent threats presented by the threatened uranium contamination. The actions recommended to the Board required “fast track” measures which necessitated the imposition of this Emergency Special Assessment to fund these measures. At the September 27th, 2021 Special Open Board meeting, the Board of Directors approved a $1,300 Emergency Assessment per TKPOA property. The Emergency Assessment will be billed and sent to TKPOA property owners on October 12th, 2021 and is due by November 30th, 2021. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

TKWC EMERGENCY SPECIAL ASSESSMENT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

Pursuant to the Davis Stirling Common Interest Development Act, specifically Civil Code §5610 (b) and the TKPOA Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) Article IV Assessments, Section 3. Regular Assessments,(b)(ii) (B), the Board of Directors has the authority to levy an Emergency Special Assessment to address an extraordinary expense necessary to repair or maintain the common interest development or any part of it for which the Association is responsible where a threat to personal safety on the property is discovered. The water emergency described above—the uranium contamination, is a threat to personal safety. The Association’s immediate need to address this threat justifies the imposition of the emergency special assessment. The following TKWC 2021 Short- and Intermediate-term Projects Summary below provides a reconciliation of the expenses incurred during this time period as of October 12th, 2021. These are the unforeseen expenses incurred to bring the TKWC water distribution system back to a safe level and in compliance with state and federal regulations.

Tahoe Keys Water Company (TKWC) Timetable: How Did We Get Here?

2017 // Our First Indication of a Problem: Back in 2017, State-mandated tests for Well #3 showed elevated levels of uranium, but well below Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) levels for safe drinking water. These levels required TKWC to increase the frequency of tests to every three years.

Keys Breeze

NOVEMBER 2021

July 2020 // Routine Testing Three Years Later: In July 2020, it was time to retest Well #3 for uranium. Unfortunately, the results showed levels of uranium slightly above the EPA-mandated maximum level (31 ppb versus the maximum level of 30 ppb). Based on these elevated levels, we now had to test quarterly, for the next four quarters. Should the average level of uranium over these four quarters be above the mandated level, the well would be shut down. Leaving us only two wells (Well #1 and Well #3). November 12th, 2020 // Well #3 Second Quarter Tests Results: The second quarter test results for Well #3 came back with similarly elevated levels of uranium (32 ppb). At a Special Joint meeting of the Board of Directors and Water Quality Committee (WQC) on November 16th, 2021 the Board directed TKPOA Staff to initiate discussions with South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD) given the mounting issues faced by our wells and to begin drafting an Request for Proposal (RFP) for long-term facilities plan to address the multiple contaminates now threatening all three wells. November 17th, 2020 // Well #2 Test Results: Unexpectedly, the routine test results for Well #2 came back showing high levels of uranium (48 ppb). Well #2 was already offline for the winter season to reduce the use of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filters that had to be installed back in 2010 due to elevated levels of Perchloroethylene (PCE). A test sample taken after the GAC filtration system indicated levels of uranium over 150 ppb, indicating a high concentration of uranium in the filter medium and effectively shutting down this well. December 16th, 2020 // TKWC Long-Term Facilities Plan: Our TKPOA staff and Water Quality Committee (WQC) turned around a Request for Proposal (RFP) in record time to solicit engineering firms to help us develop long-term facilities plan to address the issues faced by the TKWC. The Board approved the RFP during the December 16th, 2020 Board Meeting. December 22nd, 2020 // State-Mandated Property Owner Notification: After the review of the results of Well #2 testing the State Water Resources Board (SWRB) – Division of Drinking Water issued Citation NO. 01-09-21C-001, and the TKWC notified property owners and commercial customers of the elevated levels of uranium at Well #2, informing them this well was no longer online. January 2021 // TKWC Long Term Facilities Planning/ Oversight Board Subcommittee Established: At the January 20th, 2021 Board Meeting, the Board Keys Breeze

established an Oversight Board Subcommittee of property owners with expertise in utility engineering and water quality fields to review the proposals submitted in response to our RFP. February 2021 // Selection of Engineering Firm: During the February 17th, Board Meeting, the Oversight Board Subcommittee provided their recommendations and MC Engineering was awarded the contract to develop long-term facilities plan for the TKWC. However, as per the RFP, the first job was to rapidly develop short-term recommendations to address the possibility that if Well #3 tested above the mandated levels of uranium in April that the TKWC would be down to only one well. March 2021 // Emergency Actions – Landscape Irrigation Ban: On March 11th, 2021, the Board of Directors held an Emergency Board Meeting to review and discuss the short-term recommendations from our Oversight Board Subcommittee and MC Engineering. Due to the unprecedented severity of the water shortage and the need to ensure the TKWC would be able to provide safe drinking water, the Board put into effect a landscape irrigation ban as of April 1st, 2021 through November 1st, 2021.

Eating Right with NOVEMBER IS NATIONAL DIABETES MONTH, a great time to explore

the role that nutrition and lifestyle choices play in our lives. Although eating habits can be difficult to change, simple adjustments can be beneficial to manage diabetes and promote better health. Following a healthy meal plan and being active can help keep your blood glucose level—also called blood sugar—in your target range, a key component to managing diabetes. To manage your blood glucose, you need to balance what you eat and drink with physical activity and diabetes medicine, if you take any. What you choose to eat, how much you eat, and when you eat, are all important to keep your blood glucose level in the range your care team recommends. Some healthy habits include: Make half your plate vegetables. Include non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, asparagus, carrots, peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, and broccoli each day. These promote gut health and can reduce risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, while not raising your blood glucose levels significantly. Choose high fiber carbs. Increase the amount of fiber you consume by eating at least half of all grains as whole-grain foods each day. Brown rice, buckwheat, oatmeal, whole-wheat breads, and cereals are good examples. Dried beans and peas (legumes) can also lower cholesterol and provide extra protein. Whole fruits also contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals and can satisfy your sweet tooth.

Keys Breeze

Mix it up. Choose foods from each food group. By adding variety, you increase your chances of getting a healthy balance of beneficial nutrients. Cut the fat. Opt for fish, skinless poultry, and extralean meats whenever possible. Go meatless routinely, by swapping out meat for plant proteins like tofu, lentils, and other legumes. Bake, broil, roast, grill, boil, or steam foods instead of frying. Choose more fat-free dairy products. Top salads with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar instead of creamy or oily dressings. Not so salty. Minimize salt and substitute more pepper, herbs, and spices. Eating less salt helps control blood pressure, protect the kidneys and reduce fluid retention. Mind your portions. Try not to overeat at any one meal. Spread your carbs out through the day. Read food labels and pay attention to portion sizes and nutrition content. Focus on your food. Avoid multitasking while eating. Eat slowly. Take time to savor the tastes, textures, and aromas from the foods that are nourishing your body. Don’t skip. Skipping meals can make you more hungry, moody, and unable to focus. Learn what works best for you. Find an eating pattern that is healthy for your blood glucose levels and stick with it. Screenings are available to determine your blood glucose levels. A registered dietitian can help you develop good habits to manage your diabetes, help you understand the different roles of foods, and ensure you’re getting the proper amount and variety of nutrients in your diet.

TKWC EMERGENCY SPECIAL ASSESSMENT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5

Health and safety is job number one. With two of our wells shut down (due to elevated uranium levels), the Board’s immediate concern was to ensure the TKWC could continue to provide safe drinking water. At the March 11th, 2021 Board Meeting, the Board approved $600,000 as an emergency reserve expenditure to purchase six temporary uranium treatment units to be installed at our shut down well (Well #2) and our well that is at the maximum allowed level (Well #3). These units will allow us to pump a limited capacity of safe drinking from each well to supplement our remaining unaffected well (and ensure that we don’t have a single point of failure in our water system). Also, approval of the purchase of components to improve Well #1 reliability was to take place immediately. With this in place, the Board, our staff, and Oversight Board Subcommittee continued to investigate additional measures that we may be able to undertake to ease the irrigation ban at some point through the summer. During the April 19th, 2021 Special Board Meeting, the Board approved an additional $800,000 in emergency reserve expenditure to potentially mitigate the irrigation ban to some degree and provide additional redundancy and resiliency for our Water Company operations. Lukins Brothers Water Company (LBWC) Inter-Tie Connection: The Board approved establishing an intertie with LBWC along 15th Street. LBWC is able to provide an additional 550 gallons of water per minute (gpm) should we need it. This inter-tie will also give us a level of redundancy should installing the treatment units at our two wells run into issues, or we face additional issues with one of our wells at some point. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System: The Board approved the installation of a monitoring and automated control system at our wells. Unfortunately, we have historically underfunded the TKWC’s infrastructure. There was no automated system for real time monitoring and control of our wells. Everything was manually operated. This has been a significant issue as we faced this crisis because we really have no idea what our peak water demands were hourby-hour; we have had to make some broad assumptions and best estimates when determining our water needs. Also, installing temporary treatment at two of our wells will significantly increase the complexity of operation for

Architectural Control/Security Winter Season Suggestions By Linda Callahan, Architectural Control Department Manager THE TKPOA ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL AND SECURITY

DEPARTMENTS would like to remind you of a few tips

for keeping your home and family protected now that the cold weather has arrived. • When you are not at your home, keep your thermostat on 55 degrees. Broken pipes are quite common this time of year. • Sprinklers and any landscape irrigation should be shut off for the season once the nightly temperature consistently dips below 30 degrees. • Carefully check all windows and doors before leaving your home, even if you’re just running errands. High winds can cause a window to blow open. • Be sure your crawl space is sealed off and secure. Bears are looking for a cozy spot under your house to hibernate. Pine Sol is the best deterrent. • Please keep your friends, family, and pets off the ice in the lagoons. It may seem thick enough to walk on, but with fluctuating temperatures it is not.

• If you are leaving a boat in the water all winter, please winterize and adequately secure your boat to the dock. Sinking and/or drifting boats are not uncommon this time of year. Also, only white shrink-wrap is allowed if the boats are to remain docked. Thank you and have a safe winter season. CALL FOR A FREE ESTIMATE!

TKWC EMERGENCY SPECIAL ASSESSMENT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

TKWC staff. With this system in place, we will monitor our water demands minute-by-minute and improve the management of our water distribution system. Water Meters and Backflow Preventors – Peak Demand Reduction: The Board approved the installation of thirty-three water meters and backflow preventors across our common areas. Our best estimate is that our common areas account for thirty percent of our irrigation use. These meters will allow us to see how much water we are using and, more importantly, how effective we can be at reducing usage. The backflow preventors installation provides additional safety to our water distribution system and meets current SWRCBDDW requirements. South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD) InterTie Backflow Preventor: On April 22nd, 2021 the STPUD informed the TKWC that a backflow preventor was required to be installed on existing STPUD Inter-tie, due to the recent uranium contamination and ongoing PCE plume issues. The Board approved the installation of the required backflow preventor by GB General Engineering Contractor Inc. The STPUD is able to provide additional 400 gallons of water per minute (gpm) should we need it. This inter-tie will also give us a level of redundancy should installing the treatment units at our two wells run into issues, or we face additional issues with one of our wells at some point. July 21st, 2021 // Resumption of Non-Turf Irrigation: At the July 21st, 2021 Board of Directors Meeting, the Board approved an Emergency Rule for the resumption of non-turf irrigation starting on July 26th, 2021 based on revised irrigation rules and an updated schedule as provided in the revised TKPOA Operating Rule SECTION 10 WATER CONSERVATION RULES. The intent is to allow homeowners to water shrubs, flowers, and trees while still keeping overall water demand limited. September 17th, 2021 // Temporary Authorization for Operation of ION Exchange Treatment Plant: On September 20th, 2021, the TKWC received notification of the California Department of Drinking Water permit amendment application approval: “Temporary Authorization for Operation of ION Exchange Treatment Plant for Wells #2 and Well #3”. After months of the “fast track” installation of these uranium filtration systems (ION Exchange Treatment) at Well #2 and Well #3 the temporary permit has been issued by the Keys Breeze

SWRCB-DDW, to allow for the operation of these new filtration system. Due to SCADA system component availability, hazardous air quality conditions and Caldor Fire evacuation order, installation of the accompanying SCADA control elements has been delayed. We are now in the final stages of the necessary SCADA installation and will able to operate theses uranium filtration systems for Well #2 and Well #3 starting October 12th, 2021. October 12th, 2021 // Resumption of Irrigation: As of the October 12th, 2021 TKPOA Board of Directors – Regular Open Board meeting, the Board of Directors has implemented an Emergency Rule Change effective immediately to allow landscape irrigation for all water serviced properties and commercial customers. This includes TKPOA common areas, all cove townhome landscaping, all single-family home landscaping, and commercial water customer properties landscaping. This Emergency Rule will become the new TKPOA Operating Rule SECTION 10 WATER CONSERVATION RULES (this Emergency Rule is included in this mailing, see page 16). October 28th, 2021 // TKWC Long Range Facilities Plan – Next Steps: Town Hall Forum 5:00–7:00 pm TKPOA Pavilion and Zoom: On Thursday, October 28th, 2021, the TKPOA Board of Directors hosted a Town Hall Forum to allow the TKWC Long Range Facilities Planning – Board Oversight Committee to provide information on the MC Engineering – Facilities Plan for Permitting and Design of the Water Production Facilities to Address Contamination in Source Ground Water (154 pages).

EXTERIOR LIGHTING The primary intent of rules for exterior lighting in the TKPOA is to: a) Protect property owners from annoyance and obtrusive glare; b) enhance safety, security, and usability of the properties; c) provide for installation and maintenance of subtle, low-intensity lighting, which enhances landscaping, and d) all outdoor lighting shall be designed, located, installed, directed downward or toward structures, fully shielded, and maintained in order to prevent glare, light trespass, and light pollution and away from adjoining properties and public rights of way, so that no light fixture directly illuminates an area outside of the property lines. 14.03 Accent decorative and landscape lighting should be soft, low intensity and not offensive to neighbors or to traffic. All exterior lighting must be extinguished after 10:00 p.m. No rope or string lights except as provided in section 15.14. (holiday lights) 14.04 Dock, Ramp, and Over Water Platform (OWP) lighting 14.04a Light colors are limited to: warm white and pale blue. 14.06a Soffit lights: Generally used to illuminate building sidewalls, entryways and exits.

Keys Breeze

downward from the underside of an architectural structure such as an arch, a balcony, or overhanging eaves. They may not be less than 8 feet apart. The depth of the recess must be sufficient to conceal the lighting filaments so as not to project light directly to neighboring properties or the street. 14.07 Front porch lights: May stay on all night, but must be screened, shaded, or aimed downward so as to not annoy or disturb neighbors. 14.07a Illuminated street addresses: Usually positioned on or near the front porch/entry. Only required on new construction of the primary residences. May stay on all night. May be added to existing residence structures. Street addresses may be illuminated from low intensity, front porch lights, or independently by low intensity lights. 14.08 Rear property lights: Can include temporary use of floodlights (see floodlighting 14.02) and temporary use yard lights that facilitate use of the property (outdoor parties, games, etc.). Rear property lights must be aimed downward, screened, shielded, or constructed so filaments are not visible from adjacent lots or common areas, and must not be positioned (aimed) to reflect off water surfaces.

at the Tuesday October 12th, 2021 Board of Directors Regular Board Meeting. Preparation of the budget that was approved followed six months of work that began in April and is the result of significant efforts by the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) staff, the Finance Committee, the cove advisors, and the Board of Directors. The “Budget” actually consists of 19 operating budgets and 20 reserve funding plans. The operating budgets address the planned operating revenues and expenses for the four major funds (Common, Water Company, Water Quality, and Channels & Lagoons), 12 townhouse subdivisions, and four single-family subdivisions. Each year, the Association must distribute an “Annual Budget Report” and an “Annual Policy Statement” these items and additional required items are included in TKPOA Annual Disclosure. According to TKPOA Bylaws ARTICLE XII, Member assessment Obligations and Association Finances, Section 5: Budgets and Financial Statements: (a) A pro forma operating budget for each fiscal year consisting of at least the following information shall be distributed to members not less than 45 nor more than 60 days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year: (i) Estimated revenue and expenses of the Association on an accrual basis.

DAVIS STIRLING CIVIL CODE § 4041 – Property Owners Mailing Address Information

By Heather Blumenthal, Operations Manager AS OF JANUARY 1ST, 2017, every California community

association has been required to ask its members to provide their contact information and property status. Civil Code § 4041 has required, starting January 1st, 2017, that each association must solicit the following information from its members and an owner of a separate interest shall, on an annual basis, provide written notice to the association of all of the following: 1. The address or addresses to which notices

from the association are to be delivered. 2. An alternate or secondary address to which notices from the association are to be delivered. 3. The name and address of the owner’s legal representative, if any, including any person with power of attorney or other person who can be contacted in the event of the owner’s extended absence from the separate interest. 4. Whether the separate interest is owneroccupied, is rented out, if the parcel is developed but vacant, or if the parcel is undeveloped land. Although the statute does not mention how often an association must solicit this information, it does Keys Breeze

state that each member is responsible for providing this information to the association on an annual basis. The association shall solicit these annual notices of each owner and, at least 30 days prior to making its own required “Annual Disclosure”. TKPOA has previously provided this information request for 2021 via a mailing to its members on October 20th, 2021. If a property owner fails to provide the notices set forth in requirements (1) and (2) above, the last address provided in writing by the owner or, if none, the property address shall be deemed to be the address to which notices are to be delivered. It’s important to note that as long as the Association requests all of the contact information above, Civil Code § 4041 places the responsibility on the property owners to provide their correct and current contact information. Requiring members to provide this information should aid associations in giving notice of meetings or for other required notices as well as with the collection of delinquent assessments as it should help negate the argument that a notice was sent to the wrong address in the future. The Association also utilizes updated information provided on Form 4041 to update the membership list that includes member names, property addresses, mailing addresses, and email addresses that may be requested in writing to the Association. Written requests are submitted to the Association for proper purpose requirements based on Civil Code §5210, §5200 (a) (9). A member of the Association may opt-out of sharing they name, property address, mailing address, and/or email address for these listings by notifying the Association in writing. A membership list opt-out form may be requested from the TKPOA Pavilion Office and is also provided in the Annual Disclosure mailing. Please contact the TKPOA front desk staff at info@ tahoekeyspoa.org if you have a change of property owners information and would like to request a Change of Address, 4041 Form Information, or Membership List Opt-Out form.

Winter Preparation Tips FROM LIBERTY WINTER IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER and with the beauty

of new fallen snow comes higher energy usage and the increased potential for power outages. As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, we find ourselves indoors more, using more lighting, spending more time on electronics, and using more energy to heat our homes. But you can help reduce your winter energy use by following these tips:

• Turn off lights and appliances when not in use. • Set the thermostat to 68° when at home and to 55-68° when not at home. • Open window coverings on the sunny side of your home to take advantage of free heat from the sun. Close the coverings on cloudy days or right after the sun sets. • Set your water heater to 120°. • Close foundation vents. • Replace incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs. • Caulk windows and weather-strip doors. • Install a water heater blanket. • Install hot water pipe insulation. • Install electrical outlet and switch plate insulation. • Clean your furnace system and check ducts for leaks. • Replace furnace filters monthly. • Replace normal thermostats with programmable or smart thermostats.

during an outage. Remember that fuel- and woodburning sources of heat should be properly maintained, ventilated, and monitored. Do not leave a flame unattended. STAY FED AND HYDRATED Most outages only last a few hours, but you should store non-perishable food and water. Crackers, peanut butter, and canned goods are great options to have in your house all winter long. STAY PREPARED Develop an emergency plan that addresses any energy-related medical needs your household may have. Stock your emergency kit with flashlights, batteries, warm clothing, blankets, and sleeping bags. STAY INFORMED Liberty will send outage messages and updates when possible. Update your phone numbers and e-mail address at LibertyUtilities.com or (800) 7822506 so you can receive outage messages. You can also check the outage map page at LibertyUtilities.com or follow us on Twitter (@LibertyUtil_CA) or Facebook (@ LibertyUtilitiesLT) for updates.

Public Safety Power Shutoff?

Liberty strives to provide you with safe, reliable electric service. However, winter weather can lead to unplanned power disruptions. Heavy snow and ice can impact power lines and equipment, leaving customers temporarily without power. We strongly encourage customers to report outages when they occur, as this will help Liberty crews locate and identify the issue more quickly. Crews will work to restore power as soon as possible, but here are some outage tips. STAY WARM Plan to use a safe alternate heating source, such as a fireplace or wood-burning stove Keys Breeze

Minutes shall be approved in a timely fashion by the committee and forwarded to the Board and the Association Secretary for record retention.

The reporting member shall be the committee chair, or if the chair declines to present the report because he disagrees with it, or for any other reason, the committee shall select the reporting member. (4) If a committee report contains a recommendation for action to be taken by the Board, the action to be taken must be moved and seconded unless the report is presented by a Board member who is a regular member of the committee, in which case the motion need not be so moved and seconded. (5) A committee report should generally be presented in writing, with a copy to the Association Secretary. The report may be given orally only if it is brief enough for the Secretary to record its complete substance in the minutes upon hearing it. (6) If a written committee report is of considerable importance, all members concurring should sign it. Otherwise, the committee can authorize the chair to sign the report alone, in which case he/she adds the word Chair after his/her name. (7) Unless the chair of the Board knows that a committee has no report to make, the chair shall call for the committee reports at the regular monthly meetings. (8) Regardless of whether a minority report is presented, the report adopted by a vote of a majority in the committee should always be referred to as “the committee report,” never “the majority report”. (9) In debate by the Board on any written or oral committee report, any member of the disclose what occurred during deliberations of the committee unless what occurred is part of the committee report or what occurred is permitted by unanimous vote of the Board. (10) If non-concurring committee members wish to present a minority report, they shall so inform the reporting member, who will, after presentation of the committee report, notify the Board that the minority wishes to present its views in a separate report. (e) RESIGNATION AND DISCHARGE: (1) The resignation of a committee member shall be addressed to the Board and it is the responsibility of the Board to fill the resulting vacancy, if required. (2) The Board may discharge a committee when it has failed to report at a prescribed time or when the Board is considering a partial report of the committee.

SUMMER PROJECT WRAP UP

By Ally Cherko, Project Coordinator/Property Manager Kirk Wooldridge General Manager AS THE SUMMER COMES TO AN END and

from Southwest Gas Company who also did a gas line replacement project over the summer. Southwest Gas contracted Arizona Pipeline to replace pressurized gas lines with more modern Polyethylene lines to improve safety. This was another project that was completed over the summer. You may also remember a notice that was sent out in August regarding a Sentry Well installation project. These wells were installed to help improve monitoring of the underground PCE Plume. Ongoing testing done from these wells will help agencies determine which way the plume is traveling and if the contamination levels are changing over time. The Sentry Wells were installed at the Tahoe Keys Beach and Harbor Association (TKB&HA) parking lot and the end of Texas Ave. near the Water Company Building. Along with these common area projects, many of the townhome subdivisions performed projects as well. Tahoe Marina Shores (TMS) has begun the process of an exterior siding remodel project to determine a new design and seek out an architect through the Request for Proposal process. Cove 2A has begun the process of analysis to reconfiguring their boat docks. Cove 2 has replaced their patios with pavers. And Islanders 2 had a sewer line replacement that was just recently completed. Now that the budgets are approved for 2022, we can look forward to the projects for next summer. I will be working with TKPOA staff, Board and cove advisors to evaluate and prioritize those projects that can be implemented during the 2022 summer as well as those that require planning this coming summer for the future.

Despite numerous setbacks, the Tahoe Keys still accomplished quite a few projects, one of the most prominent being the East Channel Bulkhead replacement. This project overcame many hurdles and was completed on October 14th, 2021. A separate article will be in next month’s Keys Breeze outlining the details of the East Channel Bulkhead Replacement project. For those of you who enjoy the pickle ball courts in the summer, you may have noticed a project going on in July alongside the pickle ball court fencing. This was a BMP (Best Management Practices) project that was a requirement by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), for a Shoreline project that was done back in 2018. We added a rock runoff area in the middle of the pavilion parking lot for water runoff during the winter months, as well as underground drainage, which is what they were excavating along the fence line at the pickle ball courts. The townhome subdivisions received water meters and backflow preventors that were installed over the summer by GB Engineering. This will help monitor our water usage moving forward and allocate expenses appropriately. The backflow preventor installation was required by the State Water Resources Control Board – Division of Drinking Water. If you saw spray paint markings in the parking lot of your townhome subdivision, this was one of the projects it could have been from. If not the water meter project, it may have also been
