The Sierra Nevada resort town of South Lake Tahoe attracts both adrenaline seekers and nature lovers year-round with outdoor pursuits and pristine beauty. Skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, golfing, boating—every day looks like a Lands’ End photo shoot. Indoors, the five-member city council—three councilmembers, a mayor, and a mayor pro tem – take care of civic business affecting the roughly 22,00 citizens.
Five councilmembers, elected at large for four-year staggered terms, govern the city. The city clerk and treasurer are also elected by voters. Races for these positions are held in November of even-numbered years.
The Planning Commission meets on the third Thursday of the month at 3 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Meetings are live-broadcast online and on Charter Cable SLT Channel 21. Past meetings are archived on the city website.

Ultimately, the council voted 4 to 1 to not appeal the ruling and unanimously voted on a 45-day moratorium on issuing VHR permits in areas where Measure T prohibited them.
The South Lake Tahoe city council met Tuesday to do their strategic planning retreat, which helps the council get on the same page with their newly elected members, staff, and directors. This year, city council identified priorities in growing Tahoe's economy, equitable access and recreation, housing, public safety, transportation, and protecting the environment.
After lengthy litigation on the citizen's initiative Measure T, which prohibited short-term vacation home rentals in residential areas, El Dorado County's Superior Court deemed that the measure's wording was unconstitutional and struck the entire measure. The city of South Lake Tahoe is now deciding whether or not to file an appeal once they receive entry of judgement.
The March 10 city council meeting addressed the Chateau site, also called the "hole in the ground" after consultants returned with findings, whether electric scooters like those provided by Lime and Bird would be slashed, the budget for Ski Run Business Improvement District, and updates from the city's general plan.
