Proclamation Recognizing November 2025 as HOPE Month.pdf 6 City of South Lake Tahoe
Recognizing November 2025 as
“Youth Homelessness, Outreach, Prevention, and Education Month” Whereas, approximately 4.2 million young people ages 13 to 25 experience some sort of homelessness in the United States each year; and,
Whereas, while living on the streets or in their car, staying in shelters, couch surfing, youth may struggle to afford food, care for their mental or physical health, attend and complete school, and avoid dangerous and violent situations; and, Whereas, the common reasons youth may run away or experience homelessness include family conflicts, being asked to leave home, verbal, emotional, and/or physical abuse, neglect, and financial problems at home; and, Whereas, youth who experience homelessness are more likely to experience homelessness in adulthood; and,
Whereas, Tahoe Youth and Family Services works diligently in increasing public awareness, advocating on behalf of, and providing HOPE to vulnerable young individuals within the community through essential support services, housing, and counseling to address the needs of these young people.

Now, therefore, the City Council of the City of South Lake Tahoe does hereby proclaim November 2025 as “Youth HOPE Month” in South Lake Tahoe and calls upon all citizens to join in preventing and curtailing youth homelessness in our community.

Executive Summary: On March 25, 2025, City Council approved $1,470,531 towards the procurement of furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) for the new Recreation & Aquatics Center. The new Recreation & Aquatics Center has many locations that require FF&E. Meteor provided staff with a quote for $85,222.51 for the purchase, storage, delivery and installation of the FF&E for the administrative offices, lifeguard offices, maintenance area and trash receptacles for the building. Meteor holds a cooperative agreement through the Region 10 Education Service Center solicited RFP R10-1176. As stated in the RFP, this solicitation was to result in one or more cooperative (commonly known as “piggybackableâ€) contracts. In order to utilize the contract, agencies must reference the contract R10-1176K on official purchase documentation that allows public sector entities to utilize their master agreement to procure this FF&E. The total cost of the FF&E for the administrative offices, lifeguard offices, maintenance areas and trash receptacles for the facility including delivery, storage and installation is not to exceed $85,222.51. The project will be funded from the New Rec Center FF&E Account 301-70023.

Title: Agreement with Meteor Education LLC for Office Furniture for New Recreation & Aquatics Center
Location: New Recreation & Aquatics Center
Responsible Staff Member: John Stark, Director of Parks & Recreation (530) 307-9145 Background: On March 25, 2025, City Council approved $1,470,531 towards the procurement of furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) for the new Recreation & Aquatics Center. The new Recreation & Aquatics Center has many locations that require FF&E. On August 12, 2025, the City Council approved an agreement with Meteor in the amount of $237,875.80 for the purchase of furniture, fixtures, and equipment for forward facing spaces including the event space, lobby, dance and fitness studio, community room, and party room. The current agreement provides for an additional purchase of FF&E items for $85,222.51 for the purchase, storage, delivery and installation of the FF&E for the administrative offices, lifeguard offices, maintenance area, and trash receptacles for the building which were not included in the previous contract.

Staff worked with Meteor to select furniture for the administrative offices, lifeguard offices, maintenance area and trash receptacles for the facility after reviewing different options for how to organize these spaces for staffing needs.

Issue and Discussion: Meteor holds a cooperative agreement through the Region 10 Education Service Center solicited RFP R10-1176. As stated in the RFP, this solicitation was to result in one or more cooperative (commonly known as “piggybackable”) contracts. In order to utilize the contract, agencies must reference the contract R10-1176K on official purchase documentation that allows public sector entities to utilize their master agreement to procure this FF&E.

Meteor will provide the FF&E for the administrative offices, lifeguard offices, maintenance area and trash receptacles for the building.

Financial Implications: The total cost of the FF&E for the administrative offices, lifeguard offices, maintenance areas and trash receptacles for the facility including delivery, storage and installation is not to exceed $85,222.51. The project will be funded from the New Rec Center FF&E Account 301-70023.

Environmental Considerations: This is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15378(b)(2) (continuing administrative or maintenance activities, such as purchases for supplies). 45 Council Agenda Report November 18, 2025 Page 2 of 2

Summary
Region 10 Education Service Center solicited RFP R10-1176 in accordance with Texas State procurement laws as outlined in TEC 44.031. As stated in the RFP, this solicitation was to result in one or more cooperative (commonly known as “piggybackable”) contacts for use by Equalis Group members in addition to Region 10 ESC. In reviewing responses, Region 10 ESC determined that a multiple award was justified to satisfy the needs outlined in the RFP for the national Equalis membership.

Contract Features:
• There is no fee to public agencies for membership in Equalis Group or the usage of Equalis Group contracts.
• This procurement followed all the guidelines of 2 CFR 200 (commonly known as Uniform Guidance or “EDGAR” requirements in Texas), which explicitly encourages the use of cooperative purchasing to increase efficiencies (2 CFR 200.318e). Agencies using the contract should still conduct their own Cost/Price Analysis in compliance with 2 CFR 200.324a.
• In order to utilize the contract, agencies must reference the contract on their PO or other official purchase documentation to connect their individual purchase with Region 10’s public competitive solicitation process.

an interest in, or a potential requirement for, the new product or service. Region 10 ESC may reject any additions without cause.

12.3 Registered sex offender restrictions: For work to be performed at schools, Vendor agrees that no employee or employee of a subcontractor who has been adjudicated to be a registered sex offender will perform work at any time when students are or are reasonably expected to be present.

Vendor must identify any additional costs associated with compliance of this term. If no costs are specified, compliance with this term will be provided at no additional charge. Vendor is also responsible for ensuring that their employees or contractors who have direct contact with students are properly fingerprinted and background checked in accordance with local state law, if applicable.

some other location, for installation at a later date. An inventory of the stored materials must be provided to Participating Member with the application for payment seeking compensation for stored materials. Such materials must be stored and protected in a secure location and be insured for their full value by the vendor against loss and damage.

PROPOSAL FORM 9: IMPLEMENTATION OF HOUSE BILL 1295
Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295):

In 2015, the Texas Legislature adopted House Bill 1295, which added section 2252.908 of the Government Code.

The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not enter into certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of interested parties to the governmental entity or state agency at the time the business entity submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency.

The law applies only to a contract of a governmental entity or state agency that either (1) requires an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be signed or (2) has a value of at least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a contract entered into on or after January 1, 2016.

The Texas Ethics Commission was required to adopt rules necessary to implement that law, prescribe the disclosure of interested parties form, and post a copy of the form on the commission’s website. The commission adopted the Certificate of Interested Parties form (Form 1295) on October 5, 2015. The commission also adopted new rules (Chapter 46) on November 30, 2015, to implement the law. The commission does not have any additional authority to enforce or interpret House Bill 1295.

Filing Process:

Staring on January 1, 2016, the commission will make available on its website a new filing application that must be used to file Form 1295. A business entity must use the application to enter the required information on Form 1295 and print a copy of the completed form, which will include a certification of filing that will contain a unique certification number. An authorized agent of the business entity must sign the printed copy of the form and have the form notarized. The completed Form 1295 with the certification of filing must be filed with the governmental body or state agency with which the business entity is entering into the contract.

The governmental entity or state agency must notify the commission, using the commission’s filing application, of the receipt of the filed Form 1295 with the certification of filing not later than the 30th day after the date the contract binds all parties to the contract. The commission will post the completed Form 1295 to its website within seven business days after receiving notice from the governmental entity or state agency.

Information regarding how to use the filing application will be available on this site starting on January 1, 2016. https://www.ethics.state.tx.us/whatsnew/elf info form1295.htm 118

PROPOSAL FORM 18: C. 271 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION DISCLOSURE FORM Public Agency Instructions
This page provides guidance to public agencies entering into contracts with business entities that are required to file Political Contribution Disclosure forms with the agency. It is not intended to be provided to contractors.

What follows are instructions on the use of form local units can provide to contractors that are required to disclose political contributions pursuant to N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 (P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2). Additional information is available in Local Finance Notice 2006-1 (https://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns 2006.html).

1. The disclosure is required for all contracts in excess of $17,500 that are not awarded pursuant to a “fair and open” process (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7).

2. Due to the potential length of some contractor submissions, the public agency should consider allowing data to be submitted in electronic form (i.e., spreadsheet, pdf file, etc.). Submissions must be kept with the contract documents or in an appropriate computer file and be available for public access. The form is worded to accept this alternate submission. The text should be amended if electronic submission will not be allowed.

3. The submission must be received from the contractor and on file at least 10 days prior to award of the contract. Resolutions of award should reflect that the disclosure has been received and is on file.

4. The contractor must disclose contributions made to candidate and party committees covering a wide range of public agencies, including all public agencies that have elected officials in the county of the public agency, state legislative positions, and various state entities. The Division of Local Government Services recommends that contractors be provided a list of the affected agencies. This will assist contractors in determining the campaign and political committees of the officials and candidates affected by the disclosure.
a) The Division has prepared model disclosure forms for each county. They can be downloaded from the “County PCD Forms” link on the Pay-to-Play web site at
https://www.state.nj.us/dca/divisions/dlgs/programs/pay 2 play.html They will be updated from time-to-time as necessary.
b) A public agency using these forms should edit them to properly reflect the correct legislative district(s). As the forms are county-based, they list all legislative districts in each county. Districts that do not represent the public agency should be removed from the lists. c) Some contractors may find it easier to provide a single list that covers all contributions, regardless of the county. These submissions are appropriate and should be accepted. d) The form may be used “as-is”, subject to edits as described herein. e) The “Contractor Instructions” sheet is intended to be provided with the form. It is recommended that the Instructions and the form be printed on the same piece of paper. The form notes that the Instructions are printed on the back of the form; where that is not the case, the text should be edited accordingly.
f) The form is a Word document and can be edited to meet local needs, and posted for download on web sites, used as an e-mail attachment, or provided as a printed document.

5. It is recommended that the contractor also complete a “Stockholder Disclosure Certification.” This will assist the local unit in its obligation to ensure that contractor did not make any prohibited contributions to the committees listed on the Business Entity Disclosure Certification in the 12 months prior to the contract. (See Local Finance Notice 2006-7 for additional information on this obligation) A sample Certification form is part of this package and the instruction to complete it is included in the Contractor Instructions. NOTE:

This section is not applicable to Boards of Education.

C. 271 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION DISCLOSURE FORM
Contractor Instructions
Business entities (contractors) receiving contracts from a public agency that are NOT awarded pursuant to a “fair and open” process (defined at N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7) are subject to the provisions of P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2 (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26). This law provides that 10 days prior to the award of such a contract, the contractor shall disclose contributions to:

1. any State, county, or municipal committee of a political party

2. any legislative leadership committee*

3. any continuing political committee (a.k.a., political action committee)

4. any candidate committee of a candidate for, or holder of, an elective office:

1. of the public entity awarding the contract

2. of that county in which that public entity is located

3. of another public entity within that county

4. or of a legislative district in which that public entity is located or, when the public entity is a county, of any legislative district which includes all or part of the county. The disclosure must list reportable contributions to any of the committees that exceed $300 per election cycle that were made during the 12 months prior to award of the contract. See N.J.S.A. 19:44A-8 and 19:44A-16 for more details on reportable contributions.

N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 itemizes the parties from whom contributions must be disclosed when a business entity is not a natural person. This includes the following:

5. individuals with an “interest” ownership or control of more than 10% of the profits or assets of a business entity or 10% of the stock in the case of a business entity that is a corporation for profit

6. all principals, partners, officers, or directors of the business entity or their spouses

7. any subsidiaries directly or indirectly controlled by the business entity

8. IRS Code Section 527 New Jersey based organizations, directly or indirectly controlled by the business entity and filing as continuing political committees, (PACs). When the business entity is a natural person, “a contribution by that person’s spouse or child, residing therewith, shall be deemed to be a contribution by the business entity.” [N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26(b)] The contributor must be listed on the disclosure. Any business entity that fails to comply with the disclosure provisions shall be subject to a fine imposed by ELEC in an amount to be determined by the Commission which may be based upon the amount that the business entity failed to report. The enclosed list of agencies is provided to assist the contractor in identifying those public agencies whose elected official and/or candidate campaign committees are affected by the disclosure requirement. It is the contractor’s responsibility to identify the specific committees to which contributions may have been made and need to be disclosed. The disclosed information may exceed the minimum requirement. The enclosed form, a content-consistent facsimile, or an electronic data file containing the required details (along with a signed cover sheet) may be used as the contractor’s submission and is disclosable to the public under the Open Public Records Act. The contractor must also complete the attached Stockholder Disclosure Certification. This will assist the agency in meeting its obligations under the law.

NOTE: This section does not apply to Board of Education contracts. * N.J.S.A. 19:44A-3(s): “The term "legislative leadership committee" means a committee established, authorized to be established, or designated by the President of the Senate, the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker 141

PROPOSAL FORM 24: MANUFACTURER LETTER AFFIDAVIT
Respondents should indicate below whether they manufacture all the products offered in their proposal or if they operate as an authorized reseller, dealer, distributor, or manufacturer’s representative for any products offered in their proposal.

Respondents submitting proposals as an authorized reseller, dealer, distributor, or manufacturer’s representative shall indicate that they are able, upon request, to provide a letter from the manufacturer certifying that Respondent is an actual authorized reseller, dealer, distributor, or manufacturer’s representative for that manufacturer and that the Respondent is authorized to submit a proposal for that product, and which guarantees that if the Respondent should fail to satisfactorily fulfill any obligations established as a result of the award of contract, the manufacturer will either assume the Respondent’s obligations or arrange for fulfillment through another competent dealer to complete the balance of the project.

Manufacturer letters will be requested from vendors being considered for award before final recommendations are made to the board. Failure to provide manufacturer letters may result in a respondent being eliminated from consideration for award.

Organizational Size and Strength. These qualities are seen in our focus in the educational market.

Meteor operates actively in 38 states and has the capacity to supply products nationally and even in some international markets. In addition, our team consists of professional sales associates, full-time design teams, project managers, installation professionals, and logistics options. This ensures that the smallest project details are accurately managed throughout your project.

Product Offerings. Meteor represents over 175 manufacturers. The abundance of manufacturers we represent ensures we can provide competitive furnishings to meet any need.

Learning Organization. As part of their professional development, Meteor personnel are encouraged to never stop learning. Many of our team members have professional certifications. This formal training, complemented with their experience, is another clear distinction between Meteor personnel and our competition.

Professional Development Consulting. We have a full team of professional educational consultants to help ensure teachers and district personnel are trained so they can provide the best learning experience possible for their students.

Service and Support. Our service after the sales is unparalleled in the industry.

Meteor warrants all products sold to the end user with a one-year parts and labor warranty (above any manufacturer’s warranty). No such warranty exists from our competitors to cover labor associated with manufacturer defects. Additionally, after the one-year period is completed, Meteor will continue to act as a liaison between the client and manufacturer if any additional warranty issues arise throughout the warranty period for products.

One Year Walk-through Review. For large projects, Meteor will schedule an anniversary walkthrough after the first year in the facility. We will walk-through the site with the client to identify any issues and validate all warranty issues.

Finish Selections
Not only does our local team work to
ensure that all product selections meet
the client’s needs, but we also strive to
ensure finishes/colors compliment the
architectural details and support your
overall vision for your space. Your local
team will utilize the industry’s wide
selection of finishes, creating color
palate examples and making
recommendations based on customer’s
directives and feedback.

Creating a digital design presentation with finish selections shown for the project is another element of closing out the sales workup process. It enables the client to verify and then display all aspects of the products, finishes, and color pallets they have selected for the job. This ensures they are getting the colors and materials they envisioned for their project.

Software & Deliverables
Our design team is proficient in AutoCAD,
Revit, CET, Photoshop, and Sketchup.

Building floor plans from schools or
architects can be given in AutoCAD or
Revit, as well as PDF. If there are no floor
plans available, our team will come on
site to field measure the spaces.

Design deliverables can include:
• 2D Floor plans – Black and white
• 3D Renderings – Black and white
and/or color
• PowerPoint presentation including individual furniture callouts, which show and describe the product and finishes
• Digital color finish sample boards
• Fly-through videos – virtual walk through of building* • Virtual reality goggles – put on goggles that allow you to turn your body and see the room as if you’re standing in the middle of it*
*Deliverable is not included in standard design package and may require fee and additional time. 159

Experience possible for their students. Your local LEC can provide teacher onboarding support for how to leverage their new environment through the lens of student-centered learning.

Furniture Assessment Capabilities. For refurbish/replacement projects that don’t have a budget that allows for all new furniture, our firm can inventory existing furniture within the school or district. We attach a score to the furniture and provide a comprehensive assessment. We then work with the client to develop a plan of what can continue to be used and what will need to be replaced. We can develop designs that incorporate both existing and new furniture.

Organizational Size and Strength. These qualities are seen in our focus in the educational market.

Meteor Education operates nationally and has the capacity to supply products in some international markets. In addition, our team consists of professional sales associates, full-time design teams, project managers, installation professionals, and logistics options. This ensures that the smallest project details are accurately managed throughout your project.

Product Offerings. Meteor Education represents over 175 suppliers. The abundance of manufacturers we represent, ensures we can provide competitive furnishings to meet any need.

Learning Organization. As part of their professional development, our personnel are encouraged to never stop learning. We offer professional development classes online through our Human Resources platform. In addition, many of our team members have professional certifications. This formal training, complemented with their experience, is another clear distinction between our personnel and our competition.

Service and Support. Our service after the sales is unparalleled in the industry. • Our firm warrants all products sold to the end user with a one-year parts and labor warranty (above any manufacturer’s warranty). Additionally, after the one-year period is completed, Meteor Education will continue to act as a liaison between the client and manufacturer if any additional warranty issues arise throughout the warranty period for products. • One Year Walk-through Review. For large projects, Meteor Education will schedule an anniversary walk-through after the first year in the facility. We will walk-through the site with the client to identify any issues and validate all warranty issues. 161

We only partner with the finest manufacturing, trucking, and installation companies. Our thorough processes are filled with checks and balances to ensure the highest quality is achieved during the manufacturing, delivery, installation and punch list resolution. Some of our procedures that ensure quality are summarized below.
• Initial Client Interviews – This helps us to determine client’s needs and wants which allows us to better serve the client.
• Reviews of Layouts, Specifications and Color Selections – Reviewing product selections puts entire project team on the same page and eliminates miscommunication. Final approval must be received from customer prior to moving forward.
• Review of Quote – Meteor and customer team members will review each line item for accuracy prior to ordering. In addition, Meteor will confirm each line item with manufacturer prior to final shipment. • Purchase Order Verification – Any missing information or discrepancies found are verified in writing with the client for clarity. Formal quote will be provided, and final approval must be received from customer prior to moving forward.
• Weekly Communication & Project Meetings – This ensures that any potential issues are caught and the proper revisions to the plans are made. Project managers will oversee delivery and installation of your project from start to finish. They will use Meteor Connect, as well as phone, email and in-person communication to ensure customer has the most up-to-date information. • Site Visits & Field Measurements – Site visits allows for familiarity with jobsite and field measurements ensure that desired furniture will fit within room.
• Delivery & Installation Lists – The lists we utilize allow for the orderly receipt and delivery of all items to their specific locations with the greatest efficiency. These lists are reviewed by project management throughout the delivery and installation to ensure adequate progress and identify any issues that may arise during the distribution process.
• Final Project Walkthrough/Delivery Acceptance – Meteor personnel will walk rooms with client to ensure all products were delivered and installed as desired.
• Service after Delivery/Punch List – Meteor utilizes a comprehensive system for follow-up and response once the initial installation is completed though the Meteor Connect online project management system.

All punch-list items are tracked by work order to their completion.

Regarding the number of service centers, our proposal includes a list of our office locations; however, it’s important to note that we have a nationwide team of over 340 employees, supported by an extensive network of third-party installation partners. All service needs will be handled by the local studio team, and when service is required, it is typically performed onsite by local personnel. 172

Title: Purchase of Chevrolet 2500HD 4WD Crew Cab for the Building Maintenance Division Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: John Dickison, Interim Director of Public Work – (530) 542-6031 Phil Harwood, Fleet Manager – (530) 542-6086
Background: The Building Maintenance Division has a need to replace 2001 Dodge Ram. The recommended unit is a 2026 Chevrolet 2500HD vehicle. This item was presented with the FY 25- 26 Budget request and was approved by the City Council on August 26, 2025.

Issue and Discussion:

The Fleet Division advertised the procurement through Planetbids on October 08, 2025. Thirtyone vendors were notified. On October 22, 2025, the city received three bids Champion Chevrolet of Reno, Nevada was low bid. See Attachment 01. The Financial Implications section below outlines the purchase cost and funding source.

Financial Implications: The proposed Chevrolet 2500HD truck will be purchased from Champion Chevrolet of Reno, NV for $63,400.80. See Attachment 01. Funding for the purchase of the Chevrolet truck will be through Vehicle Replacement Account 210-03010-46130 (Vehicles) that was allocated with the amount of $63,400.80 in FY 2025/26 adopted budget.

Environmental Considerations: This purchase is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(2) (continuing administrative or maintenance activities, such as purchases for supplies).

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: November 18, 2025
Title: Ordinance Amending City Code Section 1.20.10 City Seal (Second Reading) Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Susan Blankenship, City Clerk Background: The first City Seal was a 2” circular embossed die reading: “CITY OF SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CALIFORNIA, INCORPORATED 1965”. This City Seal was used on all Ordinances establishing our City’s government, beginning with Ordinance 1 on November 30, 1965.

On September 20, 1966, a new City Seal was introduced, first appearing in Ordinance 82 “Creating a Fire Department for the City of South Lake Tahoe”. This City Seal has been used for the last 59 years.

After nearly six decades, our City Seal has become a valuable historical artifact and a powerful symbol of the community's heritage. It represents the City's continuity and legacy, similar to a historical monument.

The seal is a reminder of the City's past. Retaining the traditional Seal honors this history rather than erasing it.

At their May 6, 2025, City Council meeting, Councilmember Robbins requested that the City Seal be altered to more accurately reflect Lake Tahoe’s California and Nevada boundaries. (seconded by then Mayor Pro-Tem Bass). The City Clerk enlisted a design company to produce an altered City Seal.

At the November 4, 2025, meeting City Council Passed a Motion to hold a first reading (by title only) of an Ordinance Amending City Code Section 1.20.10 City Seal and referred to second reading and adoption at the November 18 meeting.

Issue and Discussion: An Ordinance has been prepared to amend City Code Section 1.20.010 to reflect requested changes. The description of the Seal has also been updated to state “…above a yellow eight petal flower”, replacing “…at a blue eight petal flower”.

Financial Implications: The costs associated with the alteration of the City Seal are nominal.

Environmental Considerations: The proposed action is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) (organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment).

Policy Implications: The holding of a first and second reading to amend an Ordinance conforms to Government Code 3693.3.

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: November 18, 2025
Title: Ordinance Amending City Code, Title 6, Chapter 6.15 (Building Regulations), Section 6.15.010 and 6.15.160 by Adopting the 2025 California Building Standards Code (California Code of Regulations Title 24), Including Green Building Code, Building Code, Fire Code, and Related Construction Codes.

Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Zach Thomas, Director of Development Services and David Chapman, Acting Building Official
Background: The 2025 California Building Standards Codes (CBSC), which includes the Fire Code, becomes effective in California cities on January 1, 2026. Typically, every three years, the California Building Standards Commission reviews and revises the California Building, Fire, Plumbing, Mechanical, Residential, Green Building, and Electrical Codes. California Health and Safety Code Section 17922 requires local agencies to adopt the building standards contained in these uniform statewide codes.

Section 17958 allows cities to modify the codes to more stringent standards that reflect local conditions. The City of South Lake Tahoe adopted its current codes, incorporating and modifying the 2022 California Building Standards Code in November 2022.

At its August 21, 2025 meeting, the Planning Commission passed a resolution recommending the City Council adopt an ordinance amending City Code, Title 6, Chapter 6.15 (Building Regulations), Section 6.15.010 and 6.15.160 by Adopting the 2025 California Building Standards Code (California Code of Regulations Title 24), Including Green Building Code, Building Code, Fire Code, and Related Construction Codes.

At its November 4, 2025 meeting, the City Council passed a Motion to hold a first reading (by title only) of the ordinance and referred the second reading and adoption to the November 18, 2025, meeting.

Issue and Discussion: Modifications to the South Lake Tahoe City Code are needed to comply with the State’s updated building safety requirements. State law provides the opportunity for local government to either adopt the State’s building standards or to review and modify them, provided that the changes to state law made by cities and counties impose equal or more restrictive requirements. 229
City Council Agenda Report November 18, 2025 Page 2 of 3 The following codes will be adopted by reference in the proposed ordinance:
 2025 California Administrative Code -CCR Title 24 Part 1  2025 California Building Code – CCR Title 24 Part 2
 2025 California Residential Code – CCR Title 24 Part 2.5  2025 California Electrical Code – CCR Title 24 Part 3  2025 California Mechanical Code – CCR Title 24 Part 4  2025 California Plumbing Code – CCR Title 24 Part 5
 2025 California Energy Code – CCR Title 24 Part 6
 2025 California Historical Building Code – CCR Title 24 Part 8  2025 California Fire Code – CCR Title 24 Part 9
 2025 California Existing Building Code – CCR Title 24 Part 10  2025 California Green Building Standards Code – CCR Title 24 Part 11  2025 California Referenced Standards Code – CCR Title 24 Part 12  2024 International Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code  2024 International Property Maintenance Code
The attached proposed ordinance adopting the 2025 CBSC represents a continuation of the City's existing practice regarding local modifications. It revalidates and readopts the City’s current local amendments which includes the City of South Lake Tahoe’s minor modifications due to local climatic, geologic and topographic conditions, and minor administrative changes.

In addition to the currently adopted local code amendments, Appendix AW (3-D Printed Building Construction) of the 2025 California Residential Code, CCR T-24, Part 2.5, is recommended for adoption and enforcement. Appendix AW of the 2025 California Residential Code provides code coverage for buildings, structures, and building elements fabricated in whole or in part using 3D printed construction techniques.

Appendix AW also provides a referenced standard (UL 3401) to govern design, construction method, additive materials, depositing of materials, and special inspection requirements for production equipment, the fabrication process, and additive materials.

Staff recommends the adoption of Appendix AW to provide code coverage for 3D printed construction projects and to provide additional building construction methods to the community.

Financial Implications: There are no City financial implications from the proposed amendments. Any costs associated with staff time preparing the code amendments are accounted for in the City’s adopted Master Fee Schedule and subsequently collected during the building permit issuance process. No additional funding is necessary.

Environmental Considerations: This project is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), Review for Exemption; in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility for these actions to have a significant effect on the environment. 230
City Council Agenda Report November 18, 2025 Page 3 of 3 Policy Implications: State law requires that the local agency adopt findings for any local modifications to the building standards contained in the CBSC. These findings are included in the attached ordinance.

Governor Newsom has signed AB 130, which prohibits local amendments to residential standards that are not filed and effective by September 30, 2025. No new local amendments to residential standards are proposed in this ordinance adoption. 231

2. The minimum snow shed impact area shall have a setback of ten feet measured horizontally from a vertical line projecting from the roof eave to the other constructed elements such as fences, sheds, and patio covers.

3. The snow shed impact area may be eliminated provided an engineered snow restraint system, designed in accordance with this code, is incorporated into the roof design and, in other than R-3 occupancies, an approved roof drainage system (e.g., heated gutter and downspout) is installed to prevent ice formation/accumulation at the grade or access level.

4. Property owners shall maintain snow shed impact areas to prevent snow from encroaching beyond the impact area boundaries.

5. Existing structures may use engineered snow slide restraint devices without an approved roof drainage system to reduce hazards associated with the existing roof design.

P. Ice Dam Membrane. Add Section 1507.1.2 to the California Building Code and Section R905.1.2 to the California Residential Code as follows:

Title 15-10: An “Ice Guard” is required on roofs of heated areas of buildings. Roofs, regardless of covering, with a pitch of less than 8 in 12 shall be protected against leakage (caused by ice and snow) using an approved manufactured membrane installed per the manufacturer’s specifications and as approved by the building official. This application shall extend from the eave edge of the roof up the roof slope measured 5 feet beyond the wall line separating the conditioned and unconditioned space, and up 30 inches along each side of a valley. This “Ice Guard” shall be in addition to any other required underlayment.

Q. Local Design Criteria. Amend California Building Code Section 1603 and California Residential Code Table R301.2, Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria, by adding the following design criteria values as listed below in items 1 through 6 to read as follows:

Council Agenda Report- November 18,2025 Page 1 of 2
City of South Lake Tahoe
Report to City Council
Meeting Date: November 18, 2025
Title: Council Member Appointment, Limited Term
Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Susan Blankenship, City Clerk Background: On October 13,2025, former Mayor Tamara Wallace submitted her resignation to the City Clerk, effective immediately.

Pursuant to Gov. Code 36512(b), “If a vacancy occurs in an elective office provided for in this chapter, the council shall, within 60 days from the commencement of the vacancy, either fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special election to fill the vacancy.” At their October 21 meeting, Council directed the City Clerk to solicit applications to fill the vacancy by appointment. The Council has until December 12, 2025, to fill the vacancy by appointment or call a Special Election to fill the vacancy.

On October 24, 2025, the City Clerk began soliciting applications to fill the vacancy. The term of this Council seat is from the date of appointment for the remainder of the term of office, December 2026.

To qualify, candidates must be 18 years of age, reside within the City of South Lake Tahoe, and be registered to vote in the City of South Lake Tahoe at the time the application was submitted.

Issue and Discussion: The City Clerk received twenty-six (26) applications from qualified candidates for an appointment to City Council. Applicants have been asked to make a 3-minute presentation to the City Council. The applicant may then be asked to respond to questions the City Council may have regarding their presentation or application.

City Council may: 1) a) Pass a Motion appointing a member to serve the remaining term of office until December 2026, in which case the City Clerk would administer the Oath of Office and the newly appointed member will begin serving immediately; 2) Pass a Motion directing the City Clerk to continue soliciting new applications from additional candidates for consideration December 9 or at an earlier special meeting; or 3) Pass a Motion directing the City Clerk to bring back a Resolution at their December 9 meeting calling for a Special Election to be consolidated with the June 2, 2026, Primary Election, to fill the vacancy.

If a Special Election is called, it will be held during the Primary Election on June 2, 2026, and the elected City Council member would serve from certification of election results by City Council until December 2026.
246
Council Agenda Report- November 18,2025 Page 2 of 2
Financial Implications: The cost for City Council Compensation for a limited appointment or the cost to hold a special election would come from existing City Council Budget.

Environmental Considerations: This action is not a project requiring environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) (organizational or administrative activities that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment).

Policy Implications: The appointment to office or calling a Special Election conforms to Government Code.

COVER LETTER: 10+ YEARS OF PROJECTS, PLANS, AND IDEAS TOO

REVOLUTIONARY TO GO TO WASTE AS A RESULT OF UC NEGLIGENCE

1. BACKGROUND
I have proven over and over that I am a highly motivated, talented, independent investigator and paralegal. Just imagine, if we still do not clearly distinguish between the “objects” and “concepts” which we call “things” within our Nouns! I am a first dan black belt certified by the school of Moodukkwan. I am a ten-year independent and university student of constitutional law, social psychology, historical anthropology, and criminal justice with an AA and AS. I would have a triple major if LTCC offered a physical sciences degree. Since a very early age, I have idealized simple answers to update outdated norms in the English Common Law system, such as updated standards of proof to improve both sides of cause and doubt/preponderance. I know when the theories of interpretation cross over into postmodern denial and disparagement of substantive rights by the procedural side on party lines. None of the professionals who I cornered after trying to play “gotcha” on me has ever heard of any “mathematical functions” of law other than the calculus of negligence.

Using basic social psychology, I have developed brief, web-based “marketing guidelines” centered around volunteer-based community-building as well as gigabytes of well-tested, unifying speech and copywrite material. I witnessed how vibrant emails which I sent to many US House members and every Senator at the beginning of 2023 somewhat “relayed communications around the map” in a comical way. I have captivated the attention of large crowds and even delegations of global power in urgent situations, and I can build a captivating, unmatchable narrative. Using the scientific method, I even have cause for probable answers to questions that humanity has been struggling with for up to thousands of years, such as some missing “101” scientific contributions to what most Americans know of today as “the Big Bang.” All I am really able to do for myself right now is implement a “minimal intrusion” cash-for-cars business model as it relates to repairs as a hobby.

2. Hypothesis
Since 2022, I have been investigating City, regional, and private planning documents. The purpose of my investigation is to try to explain why for many years leading up to now there has always ended up being such a huge disconnect between the need for affordable housing and the transportation plan that was initially proposed as an alternative to housing. Since then, I have found plenty of evidence of intent, and I am developing my findings now.

We can talk about all of the wonderful-sounding things to work on until the next sunsetting ordinance alongside all of the other such wonderful-sounding things, or we can focus on what seems to be the most obvious, important thing in the immediate short-run (City Strategic Priority #1: Ability for Everyone Who Works Here to Live Here). So here is a long 255
list of both. And more to come.

3. Immediate Objectives
US 50 Stateline Revitalization CONDITIONS Related to Housing, Transportation, Health.

Clean Up Tax Code.

Address Shortcomings in City Code with Vacant Seats and More.

4. Housing Issues
I engineered a brief affordable housing development plan with cost-efficiency figures “that blow all other plans out of the water” by an incredibly huge margin, agreed to by 3 LA County officials in 2023. I shared revised ideas from this plan designed to combat homelessness in large developed spaces specifically with Mayor Bass last year.

On April 20th of 2023, a state of emergency was declared in LA county as it relates to homelessness and housing. Doing so enables a jurisdiction to take extraordinary measures to cut red tape, reduce the administrative burdens, and expedite processes to make development plans happen.

Many HCD grant opportunities reward affordable housing development plans that include a job-creation element. A local job-creation program built into the housing plans will certainly help the City obtain additional funding opportunities to continue and expand grant-supported activities, and so will my thousands of bookmarks for a wide variety funding opportunities including hundreds for housing!

5. Startup Job Creation
The first plan I ever drafted, shortly after graduating high school, was to cover every square inch of realistic developed space one day in road-quality solar panels in combination with Tesla decentralized “powerpack” batteries. Inspired by my Discovery research project, I developed a framework for class-action/consulting that knows how to generate revenue where most law firms don’t. City partnerships can explore a wide variety of auctioneering, retailing, event-holding, and even information-space options in order to generate as much revenue as possible so we can cut taxes as much as possible.

6. Generate Revenue with Parking Enforcement or Help People with Community Service During the “summer of racial reckoning,” the language “defund the police” became popularized. While the premises covered in this section show the statement to be true, I briefly studied the effects of the generally polarizing nature of the language. A better way to phrase the idea could be to say “decentralize policing power over nonpolice issues.” The Vera Institute of Justice has published a toolkit for advocacy groups to work towards delegating authority to appropriate professionals in their locality. As an initial project, a 256
multi-office collaboration could partner with the SLT Police Advisory Council to develop and implement a local pioneer program to hire mental health professionals and experienced conflict managers in order to replace parking enforcement with community service officers. “People experiencing behavioral health crises are in urgent need of compassion, care, and support—to ease their distress, to keep them safe, and to plan for their ongoing wellbeing.

In the vast majority of jurisdictions, police officers—as default first responders for 911 calls —are tasked with meeting these needs. They are often ill-equipped to do so. Indeed, officer involvement can make these situations worse; this is particularly true in Black communities and other communities of color, which have disproportionately shouldered the harms of policing. 1 Research conducted nationwide shows that most Black people, in contrast to most white people, live with the fear that police will hurt them or their family members. 2 The tragic police killings of Daniel Prude, Deborah Danner, Walter Wallace Jr., Joseph DeWayne Robinson, and far too many others experiencing behavioral health crises have driven community demands for systemic change.”

7. Development of Relationships with Wasi-Siw Organizations Western psychologists have been writing on a topic called "precognitive dreaming" for more than one hundred years now, better known in life today as "de'ja'vu." I could fill you as the reader in more on events I've lived through after dreaming about them, as well as the vibrant emails based on similar dreams I sent to many US House members and every Senator in a manner that somewhat “relayed communications around the map.” Ancient prophecies from this continent and around the world speak to the spiritual elements of this new hypothesis to a striking degree. While subdued by my current circumstances, I have begun a project to compile all of these great works. Among existing objectives, publicizing the true magic and power of Lake Tahoe should ideally be stewarded by its indigenous peoples. This project would be useful to change attitudes within divided subcultures in general.

Above, I mentioned the Big Bang. I did not mention how, in astronomy 101 at LTCC in 2013, I discovered the more ancient, mythical elements left out by what astrophysicists at around the same time started calling “the Big Bounce” due to a review of Carl Sagan’s mathematical constants as well as conflicts between solar accretion theory, black hole theory, and big bang theory.

8. Past Speechwriting, Business Planning, Word Processing, Copyediting, Citation Checking, and Proofreading

1. The first plan I ever drafted is to cover every square inch of realistic developed space in roadquality solar panels in combination with Tesla decentralized “powerpack” batteries.

2. I used to outline many legal framework proposals based on current events. The issues include lethal force by police officers, community-oriented policing with a “community security strategies” twist, local revenue generation, reconstruction of the local City code, reconstruction of tax codes with a write-off system that everyone can understand and love, and constitutional 257
amendments.

3. I drafted hundreds of pages of potential “drain both swamps” speeches for political candidates based on the widespread dissatisfaction with insider government traditions that can get someone like Donald Trump elected, even if he is keeping the bar for substance on “violent, harmful, and corrupt” injustice nearly as low as powerful insiders.

4. I have formed hypotheses about where ancient artifacts which would support too many existing hypotheses and hypotheses of my own may be found one day when such projects are funded. The topics in question include the timelines of the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf, the true beginnings of agriculture and civilization, the populating of the Americas, the mythology of cultures around the world, and many popular mythical topics.

6. I outlined a joint fraternity-sorority framework that would, among other objectives like electoral campaigning, enable nonprofits which are working separately on the same objectives to departmentalize and work together towards the combined, intended goals.

7. Inspired by my Discovery research project, I developed a framework for class-action/consulting that knows how to generate revenue where most law firms don’t.

8. I have developed several job-creation business plans for marginalized groups and rural communities for too wide of a variety of creative ideas to list briefly.

9. I outlined a major plan to give drug-cartel participants a new start in their countries by earning their way into an industrial works program beneficial to the continental economy.

10. I engineered a brief affordable housing development plan with cost-efficiency “that blows the cost figures of all other plans out of the water” by a huge margin according to 3 LA County officials.

11. Since as far back as my solar power plan, I have known of 1930s “100mpg tech” that is still waiting to be improved. Therefore, I idealized a joint plan between several auto manufacturers to compete with the wastefulness still seen in the industry today.

12. Mostly just an idea at this time, but for years I have developed some slight hypotheses as to how laser technology can be improved. The answers may have a little to do with my project and plan related to existing astronomical theories that have been expanding on general and special relativity, quantum mechanics, and Carl Sagan's mathematical constants in the last 30 years.

13. After conducting a brief 101 research project in 2024 on granitic rocks that has outlined major research on mineralogy in general, I have drafted this brief plan for mining precious metals/rare earths in Mother Lode and Comstock Lode mining districts.

14. Since middle school, I have spent time studying the basics of plant medicine, and many friends I have met over the years are interested in the topic of wholistic medicine enough to form a 258
network to bring a plan to life that competes with the dangers of pharmaceutical drugs.

15. Certain stand-alone professional practices, societal patterns, and social norms have caused me to create a hypnosis case-study to tap into any willing individual’s early childhood recall to dig deep into one's inner intuitions for the purposes of education, career, and life planning.

9. Captivating Delegations of Global Power

1. The increasingly polarized national social environment in 2015 inspired my “Discovery” research project to: A) compile and independently investigate campaign/presidential allegations published in the press; B) deconstruct constitutional language, interests, cases, and traditions; C) use basic social psychology to develop brief, web-based “marketing instructions” centered around volunteer-based community-building as well as gigabytes of well-tested, unifying speech and copywrite material; and D) identify and outline numerous of my own unfulfilled “vacuums of demand” for start-up business opportunities.

2. I owned a website which outlined my vast findings from point 1A above, where I only published the “non-high-sensitive” allegations circulating in circles about Donald Trump in the press, and this information was conveniently constituted of the same press allegations sent to fmr. Rep. Adam Schiff by the National Enquirer in 2018. I also owned “recalljoebiden.org” with unifying, informative “Constitution 101” legal introductory education pages that were designed for the opposite political views.

3. I sent a proposal letter for Investigation and Prosecution of Mass Homicide by the US State Department to State AGs, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Special Counsel Jack Smith, and multiple congressional committees from 2020-2024.

4. The initiation of the 2022 war in Ukraine inspired my “Operation Make Waves at the UN” project to A) prompt UN ambassador’s to remind their leaders of any leverages in relation to high risks around the world that come with warring geopolitical, nuclear superpowers during February of 2022; B) prompt UN ambassadors to remind their leaders of any leverages against warring geopolitical, nuclear superpowers when it comes to the topic of “the global south” during July of 2022; and C) prompt UN ambassadors to remind their leaders of any leverages in favor of a “Russia-Ukraine narrative” to end the war and jointly develop the undeveloped vastness in eastern Russian territory in December of 2024.

5. My Discovery research project, which included sending point C materials to presidential campaigns in job applications for the last three election cycles, inspired my attempts to seek employment during the 2024 cycle with Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, and others in a way that has undeniably shaped the “drain the swamp” narrative.

6. The events surrounding the stalled reelection of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in January of 2023 inspired my “Operation Mayra Flores” project to A) creatively nominate fmr. Rep. Mayra Flores myself in the face of such a lack of creativity by emailing the general inboxes of every Senator and of House members whose names I’ve heard of; B) call 259
out the modern Chinese “opium war” that no politician ever called out by name before that moment; and C) somewhat “relay communications around the map” by causing fmr. Rep.

Matt Gaetz to chat with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez on the final night of the very still, quiet extended session, which is something he likely wouldn’t have done on his own accord.

7. 2023 congressional rhetoric about “invading Mexico” inspired my “Operation Quetzalcoatl” project to A) send a broader version of my message to members of Congress to high-ranking officials in the Mexican government with a “reformatory jobs program” outline; B) email high-ranking officials of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff asking whether it would be worth submitting a relatable job application despite my lack of normal military qualifications; and C) provoking a cryptic response out of Gen. Mark Milley during a congressional hearing about relevant legal authority.

8. 2023 events published in western media inspired my “Operation Global Deep State” project to incite public acknowledgments from world leaders by A) emailing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the narrow scope of events published in western media; B) tweeting at German Prime Minister Olaf Scholz about an inside joke from my UN correspondences; C) tweeting at fmr. Phillipines President Rodrigo Duterte about a CA police inside joke on “California County prison;” D) tweeting at ECOWAS nation’s and AU leaders about alternatives to starting a war over the coup in Mali; E) tweeting at Ethiopia Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed about an alternative to signing an agreement with Somaliland after it was too late; and F) caused Elon Musk to panic and lie about it.

Application Attachment "RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CITY COUNCIL" ALBERTO F. MANFREDI, MBA, MA, Ph.D. (ABD)
(Retired Military Intelligence Officer)
City of South Lake Tahoe - City Council Application

WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CITY COUNCIL, AND WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH IF APPOINTED?
The City Council bears the solemn responsibility of stewardship, transparency, and leadership to safeguard the City’s resources, uphold the public trust, and ensure that every policy advances the long-term well-being of our residents and the protection of our shared environment. Council members must model accountability, equity, and innovation while aligning their decisions with our community’s Strategic Plan and values.

If appointed, my focus will be on strengthening public safety, expanding housing opportunities, promoting fiscal integrity, and ensuring transparent governance, all in alignment with the City’s 2025–2030 Strategic Priorities. I will work to:
• Support housing and workforce stability so that everyone who works here can afford to live here.
• Enhance public safety readiness through modern emergency management and interagency coordination.
• Advance sustainability and environmental stewardship by supporting clean energy and carbon-neutral initiatives.
• Encourage economic diversification through regenerative tourism, local entrepreneurship, and workforce development.
• Improve digital and operational efficiency to make city services more accessible, accountable, and responsive.

My career, from the battlefields and intelligence corridors of U.S. national defense to legislative authorship and civic service, has been guided by one principle: that leadership means protecting people, upholding justice, and building systems worthy of public confidence. I will bring the same discipline, integrity, and strategic perspective to the City Council, ensuring that South Lake Tahoe remains a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable community for generations to come.

Mayor Cody Crisler and Members of the South Lake Tahoe City Council City of South Lake Tahoe
1901 Lisa Maloff Way
South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150
RE: Application for Appointment to the Vacant City Council Seat Dear Mayor Crisler and Members of the Council,
I am writing to formally express my interest in being considered for appointment to the vacant seat on the South Lake Tahoe City Council. Having served the City and County in several civic and advisory roles, including the South Lake Tahoe Police Advisory Commission, Building Board of Appeals, Airport Land Use Commission, and the El Dorado County Community Action Council, I have gained a deep appreciation for how local policy directly shapes community trust, safety, and opportunity.

My professional background spans more than twenty-five years in public service and leadership.

As a retired U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer, I have learned that transparency, discipline, and accountability are not abstract ideals, but rather daily practices that sustain good governance. Following my military service, I founded Manfredi Development Corporation and Fernando Manfredi LLC, applying evidence-based leadership and civic engagement principles to local development, coaching, and policy initiatives.

In 2025, I authored The Alberto Fernando Manfredi Homeowner Rights and Fairness Act of 2025 (“The Manfredi Act”), a comprehensive legislative proposal for the State of California designed to strengthen transparency, fairness, and accountability within homeowners’ associations. The Manfredi Act draws upon decades of service, research, and advocacy, reflecting my conviction that the same values open government, equitable treatment, and respect for all residents should guide our local leadership.

The Davis–Stirling Act, enacted in 1985, created the original HOA framework in California, a system that has too often favored boards and management companies over the homeowners they serve. The Manfredi Act corrects this 40-year imbalance, restoring fairness, transparency, and accountability to HOA governance while ensuring that public oversight protects homeowners rather than private interests.
267
Alberto F. Manfredi Cover Letter 2
If appointed to the Council, I would prioritize:
• Public safety and civic trust through proactive community engagement; • Transparent governance and fiscal accountability in city decision-making; • Sustainable development and affordable workforce housing; and • Advocacy for veterans, seniors, and working families, ensuring inclusion in city policy.

My priorities align closely with the City’s 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, particularly its focus on housing affordability, sustainable development, transparent governance, and community resilience. I share the Council’s commitment to ensuring that everyone who works here can afford to live here, protecting our natural environment, and maintaining South Lake Tahoe’s character as both a thriving community and a global destination From the global battlefield to the local community, my work has always centered on accountability, justice, and service. The Alberto Fernando Manfredi Homeowner Rights and Fairness Act of 2025, named in honor of this mission, embodies the same principle that guided my years in uniform and my current civic service: that leadership means standing against injustice, protecting the vulnerable, and ensuring that power serves the public good.

Thank you for your consideration and for your continued service to our City. It would be an honor to contribute my experience, integrity, and commitment to the South Lake Tahoe City Council.

Warmest regards,
Alberto F. Manfredi

The Alberto Fernando Manfredi Homeowner Rights and Fairness Act (The Manfredi Act) - 1 -
STATE OF CALIFORNIA - 2025–2026 LEGISLATIVE SESSION

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Alberto Fernando Manfredi Homeowner Rights and Fairness Act of 2025 (“The Manfredi Act” Restoring Integrity, Transparency, and Accountability in California Homeowner Governance)
Purpose and Overview
The Alberto Fernando Manfredi Homeowner Rights and Fairness Act of 2025 (“The Manfredi Act”) is named in honor of its author, a man whose life reflects an unwavering commitment to justice and civil rights, from his involvement in the global fight against terrorism to his advocacy for homeowners across California. Alberto Fernando Manfredi, M.B.A., M.A., Ph.D. (ABD) is a decorated U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army intelligence officer whose service included Force Recon, counter-terrorism operations, and intelligence instruction for NATO. Following a distinguished career in national security, he turned his focus to combating systemic inequities in homeowner governance, drafting this landmark legislation to restore transparency, accountability, and fairness statewide.

His Operational and Research Legacy
Mr. Manfredi’s distinguished operational career is marked by extraordinary achievements:
• Argentina Counter-Terrorism Operation: Instrumental in capturing two terrorists in Argentina, neutralizing a major threat known only to General Peter Pace and a select team. • Rescue of PFC Jessica Lynch: Conducted the six-hour interrogation that produced the intelligence enabling the successful rescue operation.
• Presidential Briefing: In 2003, briefed President George W. Bush directly on interrogation and counterintelligence operations in Iraq.

Following his decorated service, Mr. Manfredi redirected his focus to academic research into trauma and the human brain. He holds a B.S. in Criminal Justice, an M.B.A., and an M.A. in Organizational Development & Change, and is completing a Ph.D. in Human Development (ABD). His doctoral research explores the intersection of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and quantum neurobiology. By using advanced technologies to identify and model the “quantum collapse” and neurobiological analogs of trauma-induced breakdowns, his research applies scientifically grounded methodologies at the intersection of neuroscience, quantum theory, and human development. 269
The Alberto Fernando Manfredi Homeowner Rights and Fairness Act (The Manfredi Act) - 2 -
The Act translates a lifetime of disciplined leadership and human rights advocacy into a legislative framework that protects Californians’ most important investment: their homes. The Manfredi Act establishes Division 4.5 of the California Civil Code, creating a new framework for transparency, integrity, and accountability in the governance of common-interest developments (homeowners’ associations). It reforms the legal standards, financial controls, and dispute-resolution systems that affect nearly 14 million Californians living under HOA governance.

KEY OBJECTIVES
• Restore Accountability: Reforms the Business Judgment Rule (BJR) and abolishes judicial deference that previously insulated HOA boards and management companies from liability. • Ensure Transparency: Mandates open financial records, proactive disclosure of contracts, and annual independent audits.
• Create State Oversight: Establishes the California Homeowner Association Oversight Authority, a regulatory body with the power to investigate, audit, and enforce compliance across all HOAs.
• Protect Homeowners’ Rights: Provides direct civil remedies, whistleblower protections, due process in disciplinary hearings, and safeguards against retaliatory or discriminatory practices. • Combat Corruption and Mismanagement: Enacts the HOA Anti-Corruption and Fair Practices Act to prohibit kickbacks, predatory management contracts, and conflicts of interest. • Enhance Fairness in Financial Practices: Requires member-ratified budgets, limits assessments and foreclosures, and ensures hardship accommodations and fair collection procedures.

STRUCTURAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Act comprises 23 chapters and codifies Civil Code §§ 4125 - 4128. It reforms governance, fiduciary standards, financial accountability, architectural and property rights, member participation, due process, disability rights, and management company licensing. It also creates the California HOA Oversight Authority and standardizes ethical practices across associations.

LEGAL REFORMS
• Conditional Business Judgment Presumption (§ 4125) - HOA boards must affirmatively prove good faith, proper inquiry, and compliance with law to claim BJR protection. 270
The Alberto Fernando Manfredi Homeowner Rights and Fairness Act (The Manfredi Act) - 3 -
• Abolition of Judicial Deference (§ 4128) - Courts must review HOA actions de novo, ensuring equal access to justice.
• Whistleblower and Anti-Retaliation Protections - Civil penalties for retaliation, selective enforcement, or suppression of member rights.
• Mandatory Transparency - All contracts over $10,000 and audit results must be publicly disclosed via the state database.

IMPLEMENTATION AND IMPACT
The Davis–Stirling Common Interest Development Act became law on January 1, 1985, when California had relatively few homeowners’ associations. Forty years later, that statute has evolved into a framework that primarily protects HOAs, board members, management companies, insurers, and association attorneys, while offering limited protection to homeowners themselves.

The Alberto Fernando Manfredi Homeowner Rights and Fairness Act of 2025 corrects this imbalance. Effective January 1, 2026, the Act will be administered by the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency, with funding provided by a $2-per-unit monthly regulatory fee. It represents the most comprehensive HOA reform since Davis–Stirling, ending judicial deference and restoring fairness, transparency, and accountability to California’s HOA governance system.

By establishing direct state oversight, codifying homeowner due-process rights, and mandating public financial transparency, the Act ensures that HOA governance serves the public interest, not private or corporate advantage

(Retired Military Intelligence Officer)

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY
Alberto Fernando Manfredi, M.B.A., M.A., Ph.D. (ABD) is a decorated combat veteran, distinguished intelligence officer, and pioneering academic researcher. Beginning his service at the age of 17 in the elite ranks of the U.S. Marine Corps, where he served in Force Recon, Interrogator, and Counterintelligence. Later, after he retired from the U.S.

Marine Corps, he was brought out of retirement and into the U.S. Army as an Intelligence Officer and was recruited into the Defense Intelligence Agency as an Intelligence Officer and subject-matter expert on Interrogation, Counterintelligence, Security, and NATO. His strategic insights shaped NATO doctrine as an instructor and advisor at the NATO School of Intelligence in Germany.

His operational achievements include critical roles in the Argentina counter-terrorism operation, the rescue of PFC Jessica Lynch, and a direct field briefing to President George W. Bush during the Iraq conflict. Transitioning from the battlefield to academia, Mr. Manfredi now leads doctoral research at Fielding Graduate University on the quantum neurobiology of trauma, work that aims to prevent veteran suicide through advanced neurological science.

As the author and namesake of The Alberto Fernando Manfredi Homeowner Rights and Fairness Act of 2025, he continues his fight for justice on the home front. The Act reflects his belief that civic leadership carries the same moral weight as military command: to stand against injustice, protect the vulnerable, and ensure that power is accountable to the people it serves.

The Davis–Stirling Common Interest Development Act, which became law in 1985, laid the foundation for HOA governance in California at a time when such associations were few. Four decades later, its protections primarily benefit boards and corporate stakeholders rather than the homeowners themselves. The Alberto Fernando Manfredi Homeowner Rights and Fairness Act of 2025 corrects this imbalance. Effective January 1, 2026, it establishes direct state oversight through the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency, marking the most comprehensive HOA reform in California history and restoring fairness, transparency, and accountability to the governance of commoninterest communities. 272

Life Goals
I think the best way to talk about why I feel I am qualified to be appointed to the city council is by talking about my life goals.
1St Life Goal - Education
Having spent my high school years in the Bay Area, I quickly grew tired of the traffic and congestion of commuting to work and sought to escape for a simpler life. I had traveled to South Lake several times, so it was a natural draw, add in the Community College and I sold it to myself as my logical future. I moved to SLT 5 days after being called with a job offer to be a lift’ty. Over the years of learning what it took to support myself in this town in the mid 90’s my few attempts at education, including failing calculus, were put aside for sustenance.
2nd Life Goal – Own a House
Over the years I worked many jobs, forever searching for year-round stable employment. I watched as affordable house values increased, doubling and then doubling again; I quickly realized that I would soon be priced out of ever owning a home, in what had become my home. What kept me from buying was stable employment, so I realized my best solution was to create a job with a stable company. With a large background in photography and photo processing I set my sights on a local photo concessions company. I entered as a part time lab technician and a year later I was flying around the country servicing their venues. This job finally gave me the income and stability to purchase my first house. Over the next several years I concluded that, for me to move my income to the next level, I was going to need a college degree.
1st Life Goal – Education
To finally achieve my college goal, I concluded I needed to sell my house; this was so I could concentrate on my studies and be assured success. I managed to sell my first house in Spring of 07 and returned to LTCC fall 07 as a full-time student, living in a motor home at a local campground.

Thanks to my college counselor, when I returned to LTCC I was put into Calculus. This was despite my objections of not having done math for at least 15 years and my previous failure, ignoring me the counselor insisted that I needed to take the class due to class timing and that despite my desire to get a business degree, I was an engineer, and I needed to stop fooling myself.
281
During my time at LTCC I was elected Student Council president; during my term a motion to change the name of the college, to drop the “community” from its name, was brought forward. Many students saw this change as the status quo of the day. I felt this change was a travesty, as the community part of the name is what had drawn me to Tahoe in the first place and to me struck to the core of what I thought LTCC was. After recruiting some fellow council members, together we spearheaded a stop to the name change which culminated in a full student body vote. There is no doubt in my mind that LTCC taught me what a community is and fully embraced me into its community. When I transferred to UC Davis, I quickly realized how special the LTCC community is.

Thanks to one college counselor’s instance I left UC Davis with a Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering education.

Life Goal 3 – Stable income to support a family
As my time at Davis ended, my focus was to get back to Tahoe and getting into lift maintenance seemed like the best option for me. After getting my foot in the door at one resort I was recommended into a lift maintenance position at the gondola. Which took me on a stair step of growth from resort to resort until I got to manage a lift maintenance department, only 7 years later, where I got to give back and help educate new lift maintenance personnel at industry events; all the while staying one step in front of wildfires and covid complications. This career allowed me to support a growing family and once again own my own piece of Tahoe housing. However, it was not stable, and I was eventually left with the need to support a house, family and the need for revenue. I looked towards new technology and tried the app earning market, which I found to be capable of providing earnings but still lacking in stability.

One day while doomscrolling I received an ad that I found interesting, run a micro mobility fleet it said, no startup costs, mechanical aptitude desired. 4 months later I was down in Reno picking up 60 scooters to operate in SLT. In the 4 years since I started, I have grown my company to become the sole entity responsible for one of the scooter fleets in Tahoe.

My success stems from a driven desire to succeed and the ability to solve problems in new ways, as evidenced by my Prius pulling trailers of scooters all over town. I’m not sure I have yet achieved stable income, but this new job, that was directly created by the city council, has allowed me to grow as a person, face the fear of self-employment and gives me the most fulfillment of any job I have had to date. My idea of income is no longer binary, and I cannot wait till I develop the next stream.
282
Life Goal 4 – Give back
A lot of who I am today is because of members of this community that I have had the privilege of interacting with over my years of living here. I cherish our outdoor spaces and the recreational opportunities we have waiting for us outside our front doors. For the first time in my years of living here I have the time available to be able to give back in such a way as serving on the city council. I want to help other people in our community grow and reach heights they cannot see at this time.

I think the city council has a loud voice when it comes to directing the future of the South Lake Tahoe community. Additionally, due to my time at LTCC I am aware of the governing rules for public forums such as city council meetings and serving as a representative of a council. I also believe that my background in recreation, customer service and engineering would help give me a deep understanding in matters concerning Public Works and equipment allocation.

I would like to see an increase in stable recreational opportunities in the city of South Lake Tahoe and its surrounding areas, especially human powered watercraft events. I would like to see an increase in local business opportunities and development of technological, artistic, musical, sports, … opportunities to better the future of Tahoe youths.

I feel the South Lake Tahoe community is under attack, the working class families are having an increasingly hard time in sustaining a life in this community; as such, those of us who live in Tahoe need to strengthen our community and develop in-roads between opponents so we can stand strong as a community and fend off the attacks that come against our community. Additionally, we need to encourage sustainable local business creation and growth, especially business that are creating new avenues of sustainable recreation or developing localized sustainable energy storage and food creation.

My current job puts me on South Lake Tahoe streets every day for 6 months. I know there is plenty of opposition to my form of income in this town; however, I have learned that many people who oppose scooters can change their views when kindness, information and logic are provided. This is the mentality I will have if appointed to City Council.

If appointed to city council I know I can fairly hear all sides of an agenda item, weigh the pros and cons and supply a vote that will help strengthen South Lake Tahoe and its community and maintain my demonstrated highly ethical mantra. 283

Dear Mayor Bass and Members of the South Lake Tahoe City Council, I am writing to express my interest in being appointed to the vacant City Council seat. My roots in South Lake Tahoe, proven record of service, and professional experience have prepared me to contribute effectively to the Council upon appointment.

I was born and raised in South Lake Tahoe and returned in 2020 after earning a Bachelor’s in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Juris Doctor from the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law. My goal in coming home was to give back to the place that shaped me.

My personal history within this community has taught me the nuances of its character. Growing up here and choosing to return after living throughout California allows me to bridge the concerns of longtime residents with a broader perspective and vision for our community. My family has a long history of working in the hospitality industry, and I am sensitive to how interconnected tourism is to our economy. At the same time, I, like many people my age, struggle to purchase a home despite having a good, stable income. These lived experiences keep me grounded in the daily realities of our residents and shape my approach to policy, ensuring it remains connected to those who live and work here.

Since returning, I have engaged in the community through service on local commissions and participation in various activities. I have built a record of commitment and service to the community, including in the following roles:
● Police Advisory Commission - Member since its inception in October 2021 and Chair since May 2023. This role has deepened my understanding of city processes and community safety needs. It has also shown me the importance of strengthening public trust through transparency.
305
Gonzalez – Page 2
● ADVANCE - Board member since March 2023, supporting accessible education and workforce development opportunities for adults.
● Leadership Lake Tahoe - Program alum 2021; worked in conjunction with the Tahoe Chamber to redesign the 2023 and 2025 programs to reflect the Tahoe I grew up in, aligning professional development with civic education and teaching participants about local governance as well as how to engage with community systems. ● TRPA Living Working Group - Community member since December 2024, contributing to the discussion on complex housing issues in the Basin, while balancing environmental protections and review of the TRPA code.

In each role, I model consistency, thoughtfulness, and respect for every voice and perspective.

A little about my background: I am an anti-trafficking attorney and program manager, and I train legal professionals on effectively working with survivors of human trafficking. In this capacity, I partner with law enforcement, federal and state agencies, and local organizations, which has provided me with expertise in the complexity of interagency coordination. This work has taught me to balance competing priorities and coordinate across different systems through cooperation, accountability, and practical problem-solving — skills that align closely with the responsibilities of city governance.

My experience and approach align well with what this moment demands. I am organized, dependable, and follow through on my commitments. This expertise demonstrates my ability to work well across disciplines and engage respectfully with individuals who have differing views, including when we don’t initially agree. I believe that diverse viewpoints, even conflicting ones, strengthen discussions and lead to better, more informed decisions that benefit our city.

I believe I am the right person for this moment—ready to help guide the City Council into the next election with a steady, thoughtful voice focused on what best serves residents. I am committed to transparency and strengthening community trust in local government. I would be honored to serve during this interim period and support the Council’s work as we guide our city through the next election.

Education/Experience:

I graduated with a BA from SFSU in 2005. I'm a longtime resident of South Lake Tahoe, almost 30 years. I'm a professional dedicated to improving quality of life for our community. I act as a voice for Tahoe kids and enable them to reach their full potential through support and experiences. I have lots of experience in collaborative work, public relations, marketing and communication. I enjoy working with others for the better good and appreciate the thoughts and opinions of others.

Please list any past or present community involvement and/or group affiliations:

I've been with the ACT Commission for the past three years and I'm currently the Chair. I've served on the Embarc City Advisory Committee for the past year, allocating more than $50K to local non-profits. I'm a former executive board member of the Tahoe Chamber, stepping down in October 2024.

What do you see as the responsibilities of the City Council and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed?
The City Council acts as the representatives for our South Lake Tahoe community members. It is council members responsibility to act on behalf of the constituents in a timely manner through council meetings. If appointed I would be a community voice to better our city. I would like to build on the current strategic plan and set goals that move our city forward in accessibility, experiences and community. Another focus would be to work on collaboration with local entities that drive our tourism to find a balance between community and visitors. Spearheading a campaign to educate our second homeowners, inviting them to be move involved in preserving the fragile environment we reside in.

Dear City Council Members,
I am pleased to submit my application to fill the current vacancy on the city council. Included with my application is my professional resume highlighting my experience in the public sector. Since running for city council in 2024, I have been appointed to the Building Board of Appeals and attended most council meetings either in-person or online to better understand the workings of the council and hear community feedback on topics before the council.

In addition to the boards and commission I currently serve on, I volunteer my time at various community events.

This past summer, I volunteered to set up the Sample the Sierras event. I have volunteered my time as tournament director for the 2024 and 2025 Tahoe Pro/Am and Nevada State Championship disc golf tournaments. While at LTCC, I volunteered at various campus events including several commencements and Gift of Literacy events. I am proud to offer my services to enrich our community and hope to continue as a member of the city council.

Application of Nancy Peverini for SLT City Council
The responsibility of a city council member is to listen to constituents and then develop and implement the best policies for constituents and Lake Tahoe. I am uniquely qualified to accomplish that goal.

As a statewide advocate for consumer legal issues, I know firsthand how to digest policy issues and how to use advocacy expertise to navigate the politics and achieve results. As a seasoned advocate on consumer and environmental issues, I have "know how" to get things done. My career has focused on consumer legal issues and I bring advocacy knowledge in the following areas: environmental (PFAs-forever chemicals, Chrom 6 contamination, benzene, paraquat, lead paint), worker rights, the rights of LGBTQ and other protected classes, remedies for victims of financial and physical elder abuse, housing, fire related issues (I have been involved in every piece of CA legislation related to fires, the FAIR plan, utility accountability, fire insurance and fire recovery-from the North Bay to LA fires) and was lead in forging a statewide compromise between those with disabilities and small businesses as we balanced the need for access versus constraints on small businesses, which has been an issue in SLT. In addition, my career has focused on the legal rights of women and I took lead, working with then-Senator Connie Leyva, to ban "secret settlements" or non-disclosure agreements in sexual assault and abuse cases after the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment coverup in 2017.

As a member of the Al Tahoe neighborhood, my neighbors are my friends. We are from all different walks of life (lake front homeowners, renters, casino workers, SLT city and agency employees, Barton employees, restaurant workers, seasonal workers, part time homeowners, retirees) and we all meet regularly, bond over our love of the lake and of our dogs and venture out as neighbors to the occasional trivia night (Go Al Tahoe Terrifies!). My parents bought a house in Al Tahoe in 1971 and I waitressed in about every restaurant this city has or had. As a homeowner, I have navigated TRPA and city requirements with a tear down and remodel. I have friends and family throughout the city. The skill set that I have, although mostly on the statewide level, directly translates into the ability to understand and act at the local level. I am ready for, and look forward to, this challenge and opportunity. Thank you.

Self-employed.

Current: Founder / entrepreneur (DarkHorse Security, vlkn ai). Past: VP of Ops @ Bugcrowd (led 100+ person global team + managed 8 figure budget). ~10 years in management / leadership. Education: magna cum laude, CSU Fresno No direct experience in this regard, but as a local resident and homeowner with a kid on the way, I’m highly invested in the growth and improvement of the city we call home, and where we’ll be raising our kids and living our lives. With a strong background in leadership and pragmatic management at scale, I’m eager to bring my unique blend of conservative sensibility and progressive ideals to help improve the city we love and call home.

To quote the city council’s mission statement, the council “exists to represent the public interest, to oversee the City’s operations and to plan for the City’s future”.

Fundamentally, the Council is the legislative body of the city, making decisions on ordinances, policy, budget and appointments. As for what I hope to accomplish, I would be satisfied if upon leaving office I was able to say that I genuinely improved the quality of life for all our residents, both in the present, as well as for future generations. There’s no shortage of complex and nuanced issues that face our city today - ranging from housing, to the environment and our beautiful lake, to tourism, corruption, wildfire risk, land use, education, and more. There is much to be done, and I believe that I can meaningfully contribute to advancing the right solutions. 319
