ASSEMBLY Concurrent RESOLUTION—Directing the Legislative Commission to appoint a committee to continue the review of the Tahoe Regional Planning Compact.

 

   Whereas, The Tahoe Regional Planning Compact provides for the

 maintenance of the scenic, recreational, educational, scientific, natural and

 public health values of the entire Lake Tahoe Basin; and

   Whereas, The Tahoe Regional Planning Compact establishes the

 Tahoe Regional Planning Agency to adopt and enforce a regional plan and

 to provide opportunities for the orderly growth and development of the

 Lake Tahoe Basin; and

   Whereas, The Legislature of the State of Nevada is vitally concerned

 with achieving regional goals in conserving the natural resources of the

 entire Lake Tahoe Basin and with the programs and activities of the Tahoe

 Regional Planning Agency that affect these goals; and

   Whereas, As a necessary corollary to this vital concern and for the

 protection of Lake Tahoe, the Legislature of the State of Nevada is also

 concerned with the role and efforts of those federal and state agencies that

 have authority to regulate activities in the Lake Tahoe Basin and their

 interactions with and effect upon the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency

 and the Lake Tahoe Basin; and

   Whereas, Subcommittees of the Legislative Commission have

 successfully reviewed the programs and activities of the Tahoe Regional

 Planning Agency on previous occasions; and

   Whereas, Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 16 of the 70th Legislative

 Session directed the Legislative Commission to appoint a committee of six

 legislators composed of three members of the Senate and three members

 of the Assembly to continue the review of the Tahoe Regional Planning

 Compact and to oversee the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency; and

   Whereas, The review and oversight of the programs and activities of

 the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and the role of each federal and state

 agency having authority and responsibility in the Lake Tahoe Basin

 continue to be necessary to ensure the proper functioning of those

 agencies; and

   Whereas, It is vital to remain in communication with members of the

 Legislature of the State of California to continue to achieve the goals set

 forth in the Tahoe Regional Planning Compact; now, therefore, be it

   Resolved by the Assembly and of the State of Nevada, the

 Senate Concurring, That the Legislative Commission is hereby

 directed to appoint a committee of six legislators composed of three

 members of the Senate and three members of the Assembly to continue the

 review of the Tahoe Regional Planning Compact and to oversee the Tahoe

 Regional Planning Agency and each federal and state agency having

 authority to regulate activities in the Lake Tahoe Basin; and be it further

   Resolved, That the committee is directed to:

   1.  Review the budget, programs, activities, responsiveness and

 accountability of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency; and

   2.  Study the role and activities of each federal and state agency having

authority to regulate activities in the Lake Tahoe Basin, including, without

 limitation, their role in the protection of Lake Tahoe and their interactions

 with and effect upon the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and the Lake

 Tahoe Basin; and be it further

   Resolved, That the committee is directed to communicate with

 members of the Legislature of the State of California to achieve the goals

 set forth in the Tahoe Regional Planning Compact; and be it further

   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly prepare and transmit

 a copy of this resolution to the Executive Director of the Tahoe Regional

 Planning Agency, each member of the California delegation to the Tahoe

 Regional Planning Agency, the President pro Tempore of the Senate of the

 State of California and the Speaker of the Assembly of the State of

 California.
