The California Tahoe Conservancy will look different at its September meeting.

This is because the Legislature this summer changed state law to allow elected officials to serve on this state board.

On Aug. 15 the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors and South Lake Tahoe City Council voted separately to appoint reps from their respective entities to the CTC board.

The county put Supervisor Sue Novasel back to the board; the council chose Councilwoman Brooke Laine.

Laine had been on the CTC board during her first term. She will be on the CTC board until January when the council makes its usual annual appointments.

The issue came to a head last year when the old law was discovered, which then led Novasel and Councilman Tom Davis to resign and their respective colleagues to appoint non-electeds to the CTC board.

Placer County has chosen to have a non-elected representative for a number of years.
