Effective, meaningful, cooperative and reciprocal partnerships are critical to the success of protecting Lake Tahoe. The City of South Lake Tahoe is committed to strengthening our local, state and federal legislative partnerships as well as our community partnerships including the private and non-profit sectors.
The goal of strengthening partnerships is so important, the City Council included it in their 2011/2012 Strategic Plan (PDF) as one of their top five priorities.
