South Lake Tahoe Tiger Team cleans up old Zehren's Nursery

Several different agencies that are part of the Tiger Team have come together to clean up the property of the former Zehren's Nursery on the corner of Pioneer Trail and Ski Run Blvd in South Lake Tahoe.

The Tiger Team, a program started by the City in January of 2015, was formed to be more efficient in addressing code compliance issues, complaints and eventual resolution. They are utilized in the active code compliance issues in an effort to continuously improve the visual quality of the built environment.

The City of South Lake Tahoe was the lead agency and was able to use a Cal Recycle Grant to fund the project. They were joined by the California Conservation Corps and South Tahoe Refuse in addressing issued on the property.

Mr. Zehren was unable to complete the clean-up of the property due to medical issues and was cooperative with the City’s Code Enforcement Team to accomplish the task.

?With the aid of the Cal Recycle Grant and cooperation from other agencies, the project will hopefully be the first of many," said Tracy Franklin, City of South Lake Tahoe spokesperson.
