Hi Strong North Tahoe Member,
|
If we haven’t met yet — I’m Patricia Orr (Trish), part of the Strong North Tahoe leadership team and a full-time neighbor here in Kings Beach.
|
If we talked at last night’s Strong North Tahoe event, you already know 39° North was the hot topic. For me, it’s personal.
|
A while back, I started asking what I thought was a simple question:
👉 Where are the milestone quarterly reports we were promised?
|
That one thread led me down a deeper path — through contracts, transcripts, public records, and quiet decisions — and what I uncovered raised serious concerns about transparency, public engagement, and the future of Kings Beach.
|
|
Today, I’m sharing that journey:

Here’s just some of what I found:
|
-
|
Milestone reports the County required? Never delivered — and County staff confirmed they hadn’t seen any until June 2025, when I asked.
|
-
|
CEQA? Already underway since late 2024 — with no public notice, no documents released, and no chance for community input.
|
- CEQA technical studies? Quietly submitted between January and March 2025 — covering Recreation, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), and Hydrogeology — but not yet shared with the public.
-
|
Promised housing? Just 12 units are required — not the 63 the County touts — and there’s no binding agreement, funding plan, or operating covenant in place.
|
-
|
Millions in public incentives — including 106 TAUs and $30 million in TOT rebates? They were approved with no timeline, no clawbacks, no pro forma, and no public-facing justification.
|
The County gave millions so the developer could “see if it pencils.”
Yet, we’re still waiting to see the math — and the public benefit too.
|
I hope you’ll take the time to read the full post — and if it resonates, please share it with neighbors who care. Because the more we know, the more we can speak up when it matters most.
|
This isn’t just my story — it’s ours. And if it resonates, let me know. I’m just a neighbor who cares — always up for a conversation.
