After years of hard work and input from the General Manager’s Ordinance 7 Advisory Committee (Committee), staff, and special legal counsel, the Board modified employee beach access to protect the beach deed and the rights of its beneficiaries. The following is intended to provide clarification around the issue and popular questions.

Who was involved and what was the process?

The District has been evaluating changes to Ordinance 7 (Rates, Rules, and Regulations) for IVGID Recreation Passes and Recreation Punch Cards since 2020. The Committee was formed and recommended revisions, including

A Note About Terminology:

beach access for District employees and their dependents, along with the Silver and Gold Card holders. In 2021, the Board authorized special legal counsel to review this beach access issue to ensure compliance with the 1968 Beach Deed. On January 25, 2023, the Board approved the modification of employee benefits to exclude beach access.

Why did the Board take action?

As a fiduciary, the Board has been entrusted by the public to oversee and manage the District. Per the Beach Deed, the beaches are, “for the benefit of property owners and their guests.” IVGID employees are beneficiaries of the Beach Deed. The Board has a responsibility to protect the beaches, the property rights of owners and their tenants. Its decision to modify beach access protects the District by its compliance with the Beach Deed.

What does this mean going forward?

Effective immediately, employees have no recreational access to the beaches unless they’re a property owner, a tenant, or a guest of a property owner. For IVGID employees who work at the beaches, they have occupational access to the beaches during scheduled work hours. Lastly, Incline Village property owners, tenants and guests will continue to have beach access in accordance with the Beach Deed and Ordinance 7.

Is there any consideration by the Board to offer employees other privileges?

Yes, the GM and HR Director are working on this. Filling seasonal and full-time positions has been difficult, for example, last year the District couldn’t fill the lifeguard vacancies and sense this may be the new normal.

In closing, we appreciate all District employees. The Board understands this is a sensitive issue. It has been several years in the making and I appreciate the efforts by the Committee, staff, and the Board for their leadership in protecting the Beaches for generations to come.

Starting with this edition, we will be using the term "IVGID Recreation Pass" in place of "IVGID Picture Pass" to better reflect the language contained in Ordinance 7.

According to Ordinance 7: "IVGID Recreation Pass means the non-transferable photo identification pass issued by the District for free access to District Beaches for those Parcels which have Beach Access, and for hourly, daily, and seasonal discounts at other Districtowned Recreation Facilities."

IVGID Recreation Passes are different from IVGID Recreation Punch Cards, which are defined by Ordinance 7 as: "Recreation Punch Card means the card for Recreation Privileges issued by the District to eligible Owners for use by the Owner, the Owner’s Tenants and Guests of the Owner, that can be used to pay some or all of access fees to various District Recreation Facilities and bears a dollar face value established by the Board each fiscal year. A Tenant or a Guest of an Owner may use a Recreation Punch Card for access to Recreation Facilities, with or without the accompanying Owner, as more fully described in this Ordinance."

It is hard to believe as I sit here writing this (while looking at five feet of snow) that spring is just around the corner! Before you know it, everyone will be out enjoying all the outdoor venues that Incline Village and Crystal Bay have to offer – golf, tennis and pickleball, swimming, boating, volleyball, hiking, disc golf, water skiing, bocce ball, etc.

The hope for all venues is that we can return to normal capacities and service levels this spring and summer. Golf is moving back to 10-minute intervals between groups. Food and Beverage is working hard on recruitment to have enough employees to operate at full capacity. (With that said, it is still a good idea to make reservations if you are coming to The Grille.) Weddings and Events look to be back on track for normal bookings.

Springtime begins with a flurry of maintenance activity... Whether we are talking about the dedicated Parks crew getting the ball fields ready and the green spaces at our community parks and beaches spruced up, the Golf Maintenance teams working on both golf courses, or the Diamond Peak team putting the resort to bed for the summer season.

Please make sure that if you are out walking your dog or strolling with your friends and family, that you remember these areas are a “work space” with lots of equipment operating, such as mowers cutting grass. It is possible that debris from the winter could get caught up in a mower, so make sure you keep a safe distance when this work is going on, especially at both golf courses.

With multiple pre-season treatments and fertilizer being applied on the golf courses, it is also very important that everyone stays off of all fairways, greens and tees, as any disruption during the spring can cause the grass to burn where you step, leaving footprints for the entire growing season.

As always, please also remember to keep your pets on leash when walking around our outdoor venues. Please clean up after them and dispose of their waste in the many bear-proof trash canisters we have available at our venues.

Hopefully, we will see you outside when the weather breaks, enjoying all of our outdoor venues!

Keep it Simple,

Darren Howard Director of Golf & Community Services
