NORTH LAKE TAHOE

Two new community members have joined the TOT Advisory Committee, which helps guide investments of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues generated by overnight visitors in North Lake Tahoe. Damarys Los, director of housekeeping at Martis Camp and a recent graduate of the Tahoe Truckee Leadership Program, will represent the Northstar/Martis Camp region. Meghan Lowry, sustainability coordinator at Sugar Bowl Resort, will represent Donner Summit.

The committee, comprising 15 voting seats and three non-voting advisory seats, was designed to reflect a wide range of expertise, experience, and geographic representation of residence or business ownership. Through the TOT-TBID Dollars at Work program, the TOT Advisory Committee recommends projects and programs that support community priorities related to economic health, community vitality, and environmental stewardship to the NTCA Board and Placer County Board of Supervisors for funding with TOT revenues.

Both Lowry and Los included personal statements in their applications for consideration on the committee. Lowry said she wanted to advocate for her community and the environment. Los said she’ll help represent the local Latino community and support the well-being of local workers.
