No election changes; LTUSD seeks member
El Dorado County Elections Department released updated totals on Nov. 20 and Nov. 21, which resulted in no changes to South Lake Tahoe contests.
The top three vote getters for South Lake Tahoe City Council are Wendy David, Tom Davis and Austin Sass. The three will be sworn in Dec. 9.
There are 31 votes separating Sass, who finished third, from fourth place Angela Swanson.
Michelle Sweeney beat Bob Grand by 33 votes for the Lake Tahoe Community College District 5 seat.
These are unofficial final numbers, but still need to be certified.
Newcomer Ginger Nicolay-Davis and incumbent Barbara Bannar will be sworn in to the Lake Tahoe Unified School District board on Dec. 9. Both ran unopposed.
Sue Novasel told Lake Tahoe News she plans to officially resign her LTUSD board seat Jan. 2. She takes the oath of office for El Dorado County supervisor on Jan. 6. Dec. 9 will be her last school board meeting.
LTUSD plans to appoint a replacement for Novasel at either the Jan. 27 or Feb. 10 meeting.
Applications are available at the district office on Al Tahoe Boulevard for what is now District 1. This is roughly the north side of Pioneer Trail from Christmas Valley to the state line.
Besides needing to live in the district, candidates must be 18 and a registered voter. The board will interview the candidates in open session, make a decision the same night and swear the person in the following meeting.
A deadline for returning applications has not been set.
