RESOLUTION NO. 2112
A RESOLUTION OF THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT,
BOARD OF DIRECTORS, ENDORSING RESOLUTION NO. 1978 -2 OF
THE LAKE TAHOE RESOURCE, CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT
COUNCIL, IN THE MATTER OF PUBLIC LAW 91 -148 " TAHOE REG-
IONAL PLANNING COMPACT"
WHEREAS, the Chairman of the President's Council on Environ-
mental Quality has proposed certain changes in Public Law 91 -148,
"Tahoe Regional Planning Compact," and
WHEREAS, the modifications proposed would change the complex
of the Governing Board of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency to twelve
(12) members with three local representatives and three State appointed
r
representatives each of California and Nevada (appointments of the
Governor, Speaker of the Assembly and President Pro -Tem of the Senate,)
and
WHEREAS, this structure would create an imbalance of local in-
volvement in the operation of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, and
WHEREAS, the present dual majority vote establishes an approval
on issues not carrying a majority of one state and such vote results in
approval of the matter before the Governing Board, and
WHEREAS, the Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality
would reverse this procedure to provide a negative vote in cases of a
lack of dual majority which could effectively block any actions on matters
pending before the Board, and
WHEREAS, the proposal submitted by the Chairman of the Council
on Environmental Quality to the Governors of the States of California and
Nevada, would in effect, negate the actions of the TRPA Governing Board
not acceptable to local government; and local government functions would
%W be diluted to the extent that it would not be effective for the protection
of the environment of the Lake Tahoe Basin, and
WHEREAS, proposed changes not consistent with policy of the States
of Nevada and California, and other proposals involving the National En-
vironmental Protection Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) are deemed to be totally unacceptable to one or both of the
parties ,
