S. Tahoe council to discuss how to fill vacancy

How will the vacant seat on the South Lake Tahoe City Council be filled?

That is the sole item on the agenda for a special meeting of the four remaining members. The meeting is Dec. 27 at 9am at Lake Tahoe Airport.

Claire Fortier abruptly, though not unexpectedly, resigned last week. The council options for how to replace her are dictated by state and local laws.

It is possible the council will decide next week how to move forward. But it’s also possible another special meeting could be called before the regular Jan. 8 meeting.
