An agreement was reached by the South Lake Tahoe City Council, but enthusiasm was missing for any of El Dorado County’s five redistricting proposals.

Per federal law, the county must assess its five supervisorial districts and redraw the lines to make each one contain approximately the same number of people.

Some of the proposals would mean the South Shore would have two representatives, but both could live off the hill based on proposed boundaries.

Ultimately the council on June 7 lent its support for Alternative 3 (which has one supe representing the South Shore), and if that doesn’t happen, then Alternative 5 (with two supes).

Supervisors are expected to discuss redistricting later this month.
