Two special guests will be at the Oct. 6 South Lake Tahoe City Council meeting.

UC Berkeley police Officer Ally Jacobs and UCPD special-events manager Lisa Campbell will be recognized by the council for their intuition and savvy that led to Phillip and Nancy Garrido being arrested in the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard.

Mayor Jerry Birdwell credits the two Cal employees for being the catalysts that led to Dugard’s release from captivity after 18 years. Dugard was snatched from a bus stop in Meyers on June 10, 1991.

Councilwoman Kathay Lovell said the local fund set up for the Dugard family by Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe is close to the $20,000 mark.

On Tuesday, investigators in Antioch searched the Garrido house and the one next door for evidence that could link the couple to other crimes in the Bay Area.
