SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. The South Lake Tahoe City Council on Tuesday took the first step towards approving curbside pickup for cannabis dispensaries.
The council received the annual cannabis business review during which it heard from all five permit holders.
The businesses are required to pay a 6% community benefit fee. In 2019/20 the city collected $850,000 from that fee and in the first few months of 2020/21 they collected nearly $100,000.
Each of the owners spoke to need to have curbside pick-up. Curbside pick-up is allowed temporarily under California’s emergency COVID order so the council decided to follow the state’s lead.
City staff will bring back the order at the next meeting. The council also would like to know about the possibility of extending the rule after the pandemic is over.

Vacation travel to Lake Tahoe will be banned for at least three weeks starting Friday because of a regional rise in the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations. The state’s stay-at-home mechanism was triggered Wednesday for a vast region of 13 counties, from Sacramento east to the Nevada border.
Though not unexpected, the news that Christmas travel would be off-limits came as a blow to the state’s premier winter tourism destination, which first went into shutdown with the rest of the state in March.
