Communications Site License Agreement and Public Safety Communication Project

The Communications Site License Agreement and Public Safety Communication Project is a partnership between the City of South Lake Tahoe and the County of Placer. The primary objective of this agreement is to facilitate the installation of public safety communications equipment on an existing radio tower located at 1352 Johnson Boulevard in South Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County. This tower is owned and maintained by the City of South Lake Tahoe, with the City's Police Department serving as the approving and carrying agency for the project. The project is categorized as a forecast with a posted date of July 15, 2026, and was signed on July 7, 2026. It is classified under NAICS code 237130. Due to the nature of the work involving small new equipment installations with only minor exterior modifications, the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15303, Class 3. Primary points of contact for the project include Chief of Police Jeff Roberson and Planning Manager John Hitchcock.
