Each attendee may choose two books to take home for free.
The library is at 1000 Rufus Allen Blvd.
Police Chief Brian Uhler said this would provide better coverage on the streets as well as save the city money when it comes to overtime.
He told the City Council last week he expects the savings to be $25,000 a year, while the police association believes the savings to be $90,000 per year.
Mayor Claire Fortier and Councilman Tom Davis expressed concerns about fatigue and insisted Uhler report back in three and six months about how the change in hours is working – in terms of fatigue and if money is being saved.
This is not the first time, though, that SLTPD has worked 12-hour shifts.
The four hours officers will get paid for but are not scheduled to be on the street will in part be used when they need to work overtime, as well as for training hours.

Letter from Alissa Nourse, Executive Director of Tahoe Youth & Family Services
We are building a coalition over the next 6 months in preparation for a Federal Drug Free Communities grant application to be submitted in March 2013. This grant would provide $125,000 annually for five years to the community to support the reduction of substance abuse and use among youth in SLT.
Our regular meetings are on the second Monday of the month from 2:30 – 3:30 PM at the Al Tahoe School (Boys and Girls Club) meeting room, immediately following the Lake Tahoe Collaborative meetings (those meetings are held from 1:00 – 2:30).
The Coalition must have 12 sectors represented:
Youth
Parent
Business
Media
School
Youth Serving Organization
Law Enforcement
Religious or Fraternal Organization
Civic or Volunteer Group
Healthcare Professional
State, Local, or Tribal Governmental Agency with Expertise in the Field of Substance Abuse
Other Organization involved in reducing substance abuse
We are in need of people to represent all sectors. We invite you to be a part of the planning and implementation process for what could be a very exciting future for our community.
If you are interested but can’t make a meeting, feel free to call or email me and will answer any questions you may have.
