South Lake Tahoe City Council Considers Changing City Seal
The South Lake Tahoe City Council discussed the possibility of updating the city seal. Council member Scott Robbins proposed altering the dotted line across Lake Tahoe on the seal to run diagonally at the end, arguing this would more accurately represent the actual state boundaries.
This would mark the first change to the seal since 1966.
“The city seal has stood as a link between our past and present. It has marked every chapter of our city’s history and remains a powerful emblem of who we are,” said South Lake Tahoe City Clerk Susan Blankenship, advocating to preserve the original seal.
The proposal passed the council 3-0 and will return for a final vote in November.
Summary
The South Lake Tahoe City Council voted to reconsider the city seal design for the first time since 1966, balancing historical preservation with an effort to reflect accurate geography.
