Zephyr Cove sewer district faces lawsuit
By Terri Hendry, KRNV-TV
Your right to know is at the center of a lawsuit filed against a small sewer district at Lake Tahoe.
The conservative group Nevada Policy Research Institute has filed suit in the Ninth Judicial Court in Minden, asking the court to order the Tahoe-Douglas Sewer District to disclose its employee compensation information.
NPRI is behind the website TransparentNevada.com, which posts salary and compensation information of Nevada public employees. “To date, more than 100 public agencies have provided NPRI salary information under the Nevada Public Records Act,” Chief Legal Counsel Joseph Becker said.
The district is very small. It serves about 1,500 customers in Zephyr Cove and has five employees.
