We Are Here to Care for You

Your Health Is Essential Safely Receive the Care You Need Barton’s Emergency Department, Urgent Care and medical offices are safe and prepared to care for your health needs - don’t delay your care, postponing or neglecting care can have detrimental effects on your health.

Barton physicians and care providers are providing both Virtual Visits and in-person appointments, as medically appropriate.

Barton Urgent Care: 155 Highway 50, Stateline, NV | 775.589.8900 Barton Emergency Department: 2170 South Ave., South Lake Tahoe, CA | 530.543.5890 Or contact your provider’s office today.

Virtual Visits may include telehealth (ZOOM) appointments, scheduled telephone appointments or thorough MyChart communications, and will be billed in accordance with the patient’s health plan.

Your Health is Essential

By Matthew Wonnacott, M.D.

TOGETHER, WE HAVE HELPED TO KEEP EACH OTHER SAFE. Staying home and

practicing social distancing helped reduce the spread, and enabled Barton to adapt and prepare for the impacts of COVID-19. Now it is time to get back to making sure you are feeling your best, and Barton is here to provide the care you and your family needs, when you need it.

Your health is essential, and the providers at Barton who make it a priority urge you to do the same. As things begin to re-open across the state, re-open your connection with health care and don’t defer seeking medical services when needed. Medical offices, including Barton Urgent Care and Barton’s Emergency Department are safe and available.

Additionally, Barton has expanded appointment options to include virtual pathways through secure telehealth platforms like Zoom Health, phone appointments with a clinician, and communications with providers through our MyChart platform.

The safety of our patients and team members continues to be our top priority, and you’ll notice evidence of this next time you visit Barton Memorial Hospital, or any facility in our healthcare system. Our offices have implemented protocols to reduce exposure for both patients and healthcare workers, including the use of Virtual Visits when appropriate. When in-person medical care is needed, Barton requires fask masks and follows CDC screening guidelines prior to entry, and along with heightened disinfecting practices, we’ve updated the flow of our reception and patient care areas to maintain appropriate social distancing.

Doctor’s orders: don’t put your health on hold. Postponing or neglecting the care you need can have detrimental effects on your short and long-term health. Those with chronic medical conditions should continue to see their provider to ensure proper maintenance and oversight. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or proceed to Barton’s 24/7 Emergency Department, and if you are in need of care, don’t delay in seeking an appointment.

Barton will continue to be here for you and care for you, just as you have shown care for us while we meet the challenges of COVID-19. The handmade facemasks, donations, and heart-felt messages Barton has received during this health crisis signal our community’s collective strength and determination to get through this together.

On behalf of Barton physicians and health care workers, thank you. We promise to continue putting your health and safety first.

NO PHOSPHORUS FERTILIZERS

By Linda Callahan, Architectural Control Department Manager

IN 2015, THE TAHOE KEYS PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION

(TKPOA) adopted new restrictions for the use of landscape fertilizers in the Keys. On December 18th, 2015, the Board of Directors voted to adopt these changes.

The additional language was added in order to restrict the use of fertilizers that are phosphorous based as recommended by the Tahoe Keys Water Quality Committee. These fertilizers are partially responsible for the escalated growth of invasive aquatic weeds in our lagoons.

Section 10 Item 10.15 of the Architectural Control Rules Brochure reads as follows: Do not over water or fertilize. Under no circumstances may phosphorous based fertilizers be used. (The middle number on bags of fertilizers must be zero.) Homeowners are responsible for the products used by their landscapers.

The following are Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s fertilizer guidelines.

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) recommends the use of phosphorus-free fertilizer except when establishing new turf from seed. Tahoe soils have adequate phosphorus for turf for many years. The label on a fertilizer bag shows the percentage of the primary plant nutrients as a string of three numbers. These numbers indicate the percent by weight of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Look for a fertilizer in which the middle number is 0.

TRPA brochures clearly outlining the NO PHOSPHOROUS guidelines can be picked up at the TKPOA pavilion lobby or on the TRPA website, www.TRPA.com.

Please contact Linda Callahan @ lcallahan@ tahoekeyspoa.org or call (530) 542-6444, ext. 239 with any questions.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

Reno Recovery Housing Project A PLACE TO CALL HOME

THE EMPOWERMENT CENTER (TEC) is compassionately dedicated to helping women who suffer from substance abuse to restore their dignity and quality of life. Our nonprofit organization empowers women to build a better future through treatment and workforce development in a safe living environment. We believe in the power of recovery to change outlooks, lives and ultimately our community. TEC was established in 2005 to provide recovery based transitional housing for women. In response to the growing need of the community, the organization purchased the facility at 7400 S. Virginia Street in Reno in 2010 and in 2012 became the first licensed halfway house in Northern Nevada, and maintains that role today debt free.

TEC offers a four-month treatment program that provides a transitional alcohol and drug free living environment designed to support participants in their chemical dependency treatment and early recovery efforts. Our goal is to support these women as they work toward self- sufficiency.The Reno Recovery Project is the first of its kind in Northern Nevada. It will be modeled after recovery focused housing projects in other states, combined with The Empowerment Center’s significant experience with recovery, to create long-term success stories. This long- term housing option will ensure that women leaving any of our areas treatment centers never have to return to previous, toxic living environments where alcohol and drug abuse remain a part of daily Keys Breeze

|

life. Our Reno Recovery Project will ensure all women in recovery will have real options for a better future.

The Reno Recovery Project involves the construction of a 42-unit affordable housing development for lowincome individuals. Ten units will receive project-based rental assistance for people with extremely low incomes.

The remaining 32 units will also be affordable and may be eligible for Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, and other types of rental support.

In addition to providing shelter, the facility will provide on-site services, including 12-Step meetings, job training, life skills coaching and related supportive services, as well as referrals to local service organizations to help tenants maintain housing and focus on recovery and selfsufficiency.

The total budget for this project is 14.2 million. We fully anticipate the continued support from numerous public sources, including the federal low-income housing tax credit program (LIHTC), Federal Home Loan Bank (AHP), HOME funds, and the Nevada Housing Division will provide 11.4 million. A gift to this Campaign is an opportunity to help shape and elevate the living environment for so many individuals and their families in need. Your gift also presents a unique opportunity to be permanently recognized on our campus.

The Empowerment Center welcomes your consideration of a meaningful investment in this truly transformational capital project.

NO TRESPASSING

in violation of the LHS Gate Access as specified in the Superior Court Case Judgement. The TKPOA Board of Directors will continue to utilize the member discipline process in accordance with Civil Code Section 5855 and TKPOA Bylaws Article VI, Membership Rights Section 5, Article IX, Duties and Powers of the Board Section 1(r), and TKPOA Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) Article XII, Breach or Default, Section 6 (a-f), to enforce this Superior Court Case SV-92-0066 Judgement, related governing documents, and rules.

The LHS pedestrian and vehicle gates are under continuous surveillance and all TKPOA member photo ID card access is recorded so it is easy to track any violations.

Once the violations are identified with the responsible property owners through the member discipline hearing process, TKPOA property owners could face their individual and property member photo ID card access privileges suspended, member photo ID cards confiscated, and potential fines.

The TKPOA is requesting that all property owners please respect these rules so that we can all continue to enjoy this privilege of accessing Lot C and Lot A. Continued violations and flagrant abuse of these rules could result in legal claims against the TKPOA and potential gate closures.

For additional questions please contact the TKPOA Front Desk at (530) 542-6444, Monday through Sunday 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.. Additional information is also available on the TKPOA website www. tkpoa.com, or contract TKPOA Security at (530) 545-0847.

When entering through the LHS pedestrian gate, you are on Lot C which is a narrow lot with Pope Marsh on the left and private residences on the right. TKPOA does not own the properties to the right of Lot C. This is private property and the No Trespassing law per California Penal Code 602PC applies. The City of South Lake Tahoe Police Department will be called for trespassing on these properties. The TKPOA has clearly marked the property lines on the right of the lot. The left side of the lot has a chain link fence all the way down to the beach on the Pope Marsh side.

Lot C can be used to access Pope Marsh on the left, however access to the beach on the right is prohibited as this is private property and to do so is considered trespassing (CA 602PC). Access to the right is also a dead end at the West Channel Bulkhead. During Lake Tahoe high water events there is typically no Public Trust beach access. To access Lot A at the end of the LHS roadway at the West Channel Bulkhead, you should walk down the LHS paved roadway.

Pursuant to the Superior Court Case SV-92-0066 Judgement the TKPOA is responsible for the maintenance and security obligations in enforcing this judgement, and at this time the enforcement of these violations including trespassing violations on the adjacent LHS property will be pursued. Based on TKPOA security patrols and pedestrian gate member card reader identification system, the TKPOA has issued warning notices and in some cases, fines, to those members Keys Breeze

IN MEMORIAM OF

Jim Jones

By TKPOA Staff ON BEHALF OF TAHOE KEYS PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION (TKPOA) we would like to

take moment to recognize longtime resident James “Jim” Jones, who resided on Capri Drive since 1979. Jim was longtime advocate for safe, clean drinking water and reliable wastewater services in South Lake Tahoe, died on May 7. Jim had served as a volunteer on the TKPOA Board of Directors in 2004–2005 as Board President, and a Board Director 2005–2006 and currently was a member of the TKPOA Water Quality Committee (WQC) going on 10 years.

Jim was a local engineer, avid sailor and served on South Lake Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD) Board of Directors from 1977–1989 and from 1993–2020. When Jim started at the district in the late 1970s, the sewer system was in dire straits. Sewer spills were a common occurrence and serious investments were needed to protect Lake Tahoe. Jim spearheaded efforts to secure grant funding to re-assess wastewater treatment options. This initiative led to upgrading the treatment plant and eventually led to the District’s recognition by the Environmental Protection Agency as wastewater treatment plant of the year in both 1994 and 2001.

Prior to owning his own engineering firm in South Lake Tahoe, Jim fought fires with the U.S. Forest Service, inspected wastewater treatment plants for the Environmental Protection Agency and Bureau of Reclamation, and was a self-professed ski bum for a few years. Through his past experiences, Jim had a unique understanding of the link between forest management, water quality, and fire suppression. Prior to his death, Jim was working on a statewide initiative highlighting the importance of headwater issues on California’s water supply. As a SLTPUD Director Jim made frequent trips to Sacramento and Washington, D.C., to lobby for infrastructure funding. During his tenure on the STPUD Board, the District successfully lobbied for millions in grant funds to build a recycled water system, upgrade the wastewater treatment, drill new wells, and increase South Lake Tahoe’s ability to fight wildfire. He worked closely with the Association of California Water Agencies, California Association of Sanitation Agencies, and El Dorado County Water District and his loss will be felt by industry partners statewide.

“Jim was a strong advocate to ensure the integrity of our water and sewer delivery systems,” says Randy Vogelgesang, Board President, STPUD [Tahoe Daily Tribune May 15th, 2020] “He passionately served the District and his guidance helped build the reliable system that we have today.” Director Jones was instrumental in protecting South Lake Tahoe’s water quality when gas stations contaminated groundwater with MTBE in the late 1990s. During a lawsuit against big oil companies, Jim testified for the District, met with Congress, and served on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Blue-Ribbon Committee to ensure MTBE polluters paid to clean up the mess. Through his efforts, the District received more than $70 million dollars in lawsuits and settlements, which set a precedent nationwide for oil companies to fund clean-up measures.

“Prior to private practice work as a civil engineer, Jim worked for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, EPA, and the National Science Foundation. Given his background and length of time in the area, he was always a great resource for historical perspective on the technical issues we are dealing with. As recently as a few months ago, Jim had provided me with documents that detailed actions and issues the WQC was addressing more than 20 years ago, to provide perspective on past actions.

Jim approached the challenges we are facing with no personal agenda, only with a solid commitment to do what is scientifically defensible and was in the best interests of TKPOA. He will be missed very much." —ANDY KOPANIA – TKPOA WATER QUALITY COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON

(AIS) management and control over the five years I served on the WQC. Jim came to the meetings with a broad background of experience and knowledge that was both historical and relevant.

His knowledge of the local and national politics combined with his national view of water quality issues continually challenged us to try to do better.

In the meetings I loved the way his eyes lit up and he became very animated when we were talking about the things he cared about. Jim also served our members in his role as a STPUD Board Member for many years. He kept their board focused on their infrastructure with the intent of keeping long term costs down. The world, or at least our part of it, is better for his participation." —JOHN LARSON – PAST TKPOA WATER QUALITY COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON, PAST TKPOA BOARD PRESIDENT AND BOARD DIRECTOR

Resolution No.3139-20 in tribute of STPUD Director Jim Jones for his 39 years of service was adopted during the District’s Board Meeting on May 21st, 2020. Jim served for 39 years on the STPUD Board of Directors. During his time on the District Board, Jim put a high priority on replacing old, aging pipes, and would bring rusty pipes to meetings to show as examples. He focused on the future, instead of ‘kicking the can down the road.

“No one can rival Jim’s dedication to the district, both in length of service and depth of engagement on water and wastewater issues,” said John Thiel, STPUD General Manager [Tahoe Daily Tribune May 15th, 2020]. “Jim’s unwavering commitment to replace aging infrastructure and increase the reliability of our water and sewer systems will benefit our community for decades to come.”

The Board of Directors has supported and approved this “Work SAFE” program each year since 2016 and the managers and supervisors have implemented it with the monthly safety meetings and additional tailgate safety meetings in the summer months. In the end it has resulted in a substantial cost savings for the TKPOA, employee reward and recognition and a of course a safe working environment.

Resilience Fund – Tahoe launched with a $100,000 match from City of South Lake Tahoe

T

he City of South Lake Tahoe today unanimously approved $100,000 for the expansion of the Resilience Fund-Tahoe. This successful revolving loan fund, managed by Sierra Business Council, has already received more than 120 applications and funded 14 business loans in the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee community with micro-loans to help them reopen. In the three weeks since the initial Resilience Fund – Sierra launched, more than 130 jobs have been saved. The city’s matching fund now enables this fund to begin loaning to businesses in our community. The Council also hopes the community will come together to match their $100,000 contribution.

The Resilience Fund-Tahoe has a short-term goal of raising $1 million from the local community and a long-term goal of establishing a permanent $5 million fund.

“The beauty of the Resilience Fund is that it is locals supporting locals. The money stays here in Lake Tahoe and helps keep our favorite restaurants, shops and small businesses open,” states Steve Frisch, CEO of the Sierra Business Council.

The Core Planning Team of the Resilience Fund – Tahoe is made up of: Mobo Law, LLP, Tahoe Chamber, South Tahoe Chamber of Commerce, South Lake Tahoe Tourism Improvement District, CoWork Tahoe and the Tahoe Prosperity Center. This team has spent the past month working to fundraise for the fund so that money can immediately get out into the community—keeping businesses open during this time of coronavirus.

Rich Molsby, managing partner of MOBO Law, LLP (“MOBO”), adds: “Small businesses are the backbone of our amazing Lake Tahoe community. They provide jobs for families and infrastructure that makes our tourism and local economy thrive. The pandemic threatens the very foundation of our community because it may result in the closure of many small businesses that may leave CONTINUED ON PAGE 30 Keys Breeze

RESILIENCE FUND – TAHOE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24

“We started the #TahoeTogether campaign as a way to remind our region that we’re all in this together —no matter where around the lake. The Resilience Fund-Tahoe is an extension of that same spirit. We’re all in this crisis together and having local capital working for locally-owned small businesses, is good for our community now and into the future.”

—HEIDI HILL DRUM, CEO, TAHOE PROSPERITY CENTER

employees and their families without jobs.

We believe Resilience Fund-Tahoe is that perfect opportunity for donors and investors to contribute to something that will make a meaningful and immediate difference for our community. This is an incredible and timely example of neighbors helping neighbors.”

Funds in this revolving loan program continually help local businesses. They can apply for loans between $5,000 and $25,000 with favorable terms (5-year repayment at 2% interest) and can use the funds to restock their restaurant pantry after a long closure, hire back employees to begin to reopen, or purchase needed items to ensure social distancing and continued revenue generation. The Resilience FundTahoe is initially designed to help businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19 forced closures—not for businesses who are still fully operational or who have already received significant relief funds from federal programs.

The loan is designed for small businesses with fewer than 25 employees and priority will be given to businesses with employees who have brickand-mortar retail, restaurant or storefront operations. The program is not intended to supplement personal expenses or for home-based businesses without significant overhead or for second home rental businesses such as Airbnb. A core feature of the Resilience Fund-Tahoe is that businesses receive free technical assistance from the SBDC that can improve business models and systems to leverage productivity during suspended operations.

Businesses will receive the counseling they need to carefully plan operating cash flow, giving them the best chance of long-term success.

Donations or investments can be made directly to the Resilience Fund-Tahoe and important details can be found here (insert website link when ready). Donations are tax-deductible and donors will receive tax information from the Sierra Business Council, a 501(c)3 private nonprofit organization.

On the other side of the current economic crisis, the fund will serve as permanent loan infrastructure for the small business community with fewer restrictions to help them grow, expand and thrive. In the past five weeks, the Tahoe Truckee region raised more than $1 million. With this $100,000 contribution from the City of South Lake Tahoe, the hope is that others in the Lake Tahoe community will also contribute to this fund.
