    RENT METHODOLOGY STUDY – LAKE TAHOE Prepared for: California State Lands Commission 100 Howe Avenue, Suite 100-S Sacramento, CA 95825 February 21, 2020 Ninette Lee, Public Land Manager California State Lands Commission 100 Howe Avenue, Suite 100-S Sacramento, CA 95825 Re: Lake Tahoe Self-Contained Rent Methodology Study File Name: TDG 2019 048 State of CA Agreement # C2018065 Dear Ms. Lee: Pursuant to your request, I performed an analysis of the benchmark rental rate methodology used by the California State Lands Commission (herein referred to as “Commission” and/or “SLC”) to determine rental rates for over 600 leases in the Lake Tahoe area. 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.
