2025-06-24 09:00 - 17:00 | North Tahoe Event Center, 8318 N Lake Blvd, Kings Beach, CA, 96143, United States
Monday, June 24 – 39° North Project Hearing (1:40 PM)
North Tahoe Event Center, Kings Beach
On June 24, the Placer County Board of Supervisors will decide whether to give millions in public money—and valuable Kings Beach land—to the 39° North hotel-condo project before essential safeguards are in place.
Why this matters:

No completed environmental review (CEQA).
No proven financing or guarantees.
No agreement on measurable public benefits.

Our community deserves growth that’s local-first, transparent, built in manageable phases, and clearly beneficial—not blank checks.
More than 40 neighbors have already asked the Board to pause this deal until it meets those standards.
Your voice is critical—act today:

Attend & speak at 1:40 PM
(Agenda item: Tourist Accommodation Unit Transfer & Rebate Option Agreement. Arrive early to fill out a speaker card.)
Prepare your remarks in minutes with our
Comment Builder
(draft talking points only; it does not submit comments).
Stay involved—
join the 39° N Action Group.

Let’s make sure Kings Beach grows the way we want it to.

North Tahoe Supervisor Forum - Community Conversation

Thursday, October 9, 2025
6:00 PM
Tahoe City PUD Office, 221 Fairway Drive, Tahoe City
Come take part in a community forum where you help set the agenda. Supervisor Cindy Gustafson and the North Tahoe Regional Advisory Council are hosting a Lean Coffee-style conversation with North Tahoe residents.
What’s Lean Coffee?
It’s an agenda-less meeting format where topics come from the people in the room. You bring ideas, vote on what matters most, and then join small, time-boxed discussions. It’s a simple and effective way to make sure:

Everyone has a voice
The conversations stay focused
The issues are relevant and actionable

This approach is rooted in the kind of bottom-up, people-first thinking that aligns with Strong Towns principles. It’s about starting with what matters to the community — and moving forward from there.
Whether you want to listen or speak, this is a space to share concerns, ideas, and questions about what’s happening in North Tahoe.
No RSVP required — just show up and join the conversation.
