The Nevada Legislative Oversight Committee of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and Marlette Lake Water System held its first meeting on Friday, Jan. 23, at the Nevada Legislature, providing agency updates, public comment and committee inquiries, which set the tone for the remaining meetings.
The Nevada Legislature has provided review and oversight of the TRPA and MLWS since 1985 with interim studies and eventually this interim committee, which took root in 2003. The now eight-person committee, up from six per a senate bill that passed last year, will meet another five times through August, discussing pertinent topics to the Tahoe Basin such as forest health, wildfire prevention, evacuation planning, transportation, sustainable recreation, lake clarity, and aquatic invasive species.
