These leases include private piers and buoys (Category 1); and upland fill area (Category 2). I have completed the analysis and provided recommendations based on the Scope of Work. I have analyzed market data throughout the State of California in order to prepare the following rent methodology study. This report was prepared for the client, the California State Lands Commission, and authorized representatives, and is intended only for their specified use. The intended use of this appraisal is to assist the Commission in establishing the methodology to determine appropriate rents for those privately-owned piers (berths), buoys, and fill areas on Lake Tahoe. The purpose of the appraisal is to provide recommendations on rent methodology and rates as of July 25, 2019. This rent methodology study was prepared in conformance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (U.S.P.A.P.), and the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct of the Appraisal Institute.

Andrus, an 11-year veteran of the Mesquite Fire Department, takes the helm as a seven-month temporary appointment of Mesquite Police Chief Troy Tanner as Fire Administrator comes to an end. The Mesquite City Council and City Manager Andy Barton assigned Tan- ner to the administrator position last July in an attempt to bring order to the department after the former Fire Chief Kash Christopher was relieved of his post in May 2017amid turmoil. As part of his temporary duties, Barton charged Tanner with finding a suit- able fire chief within the current ranks of the department rather than looking Barbara Ellestad for a new chief outside the department.
