He was arrested in late September following an altercation at a Stateline nightclub and now faces misdemeanor charges including harassment and trespassing. \u00a0A prior assault charge was dropped by the Douglas County DA, but Bass continues to deny wrongdoing.\u00a0He has indicated he will not resign, stating,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"3124\" data-end=\"3779\"><em data-start=\"3666\" data-end=\"3737\">\u201cI will absolutely not be stepping down \u2026 I have done nothing wrong.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"3781\" data-end=\"4209\"><strong data-start=\"3781\" data-end=\"3821\">City operations and the path forward<\/strong><br data-start=\"3821\" data-end=\"3824\" \/>City Manager Joe Irvin released a statement affirming that municipal services remain fully operational and that city finances are unaffected by the scandal. He emphasized that all departments continue to function and that the city\u2019s budget undergoes annual independent audits pursuant to California law.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4211\" data-end=\"4630\">With Wallace\u2019s departure, a number of board and commission seats she held now stand vacant, including on the California Tahoe Conservancy, El Dorado County LAFCO and the Clean Tahoe Program.\u00a0According to city code and state law, the City Council must either appoint a replacement or call a special election within 60 days of the vacancy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4632\" data-end=\"4848\">The Council\u2019s next meeting is scheduled for <strong data-start=\"4676\" data-end=\"4700\">Oct. 21 at 5:30 p.m.<\/strong>, at which time it will address a reorganization of leadership, the vacant seat, and interim appointments.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4850\" data-end=\"5548\">Across South Lake Tahoe and El Dorado County, residents and local officials have expressed shock, concern and calls for transparency. El Dorado County Supervisor Brooke Laine, who previously served alongside Wallace on the City Council, publicly stated she believes the resignation was necessary. \u00a0Some community members have even proposed pursuing a recall process.\u00a0Paula Peterson, publisher of SouthTahoeNow, said congregants feel \u201cdoubly traumatized\u201d given that the church had previously weathered a fire and other hardships.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5550\" data-end=\"6007\">As the investigation unfolds, residents will be watching closely throughout the upcoming Council meeting on Oct. 21. The decisions made then will shape the city\u2019s governance through the remainder of Wallace\u2019s term, which was set to expire in November 2026. Meanwhile, questions linger about the scale of the alleged theft, how repayment will occur, and whether additional revelations may yet emerge<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"143\">According to public reporting, the church\u2019s attorney has estimated that <strong data-start=\"72\" data-end=\"91\">about $300,000<\/strong> was stolen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"145\" data-end=\"326\">However, that figure is preliminary and subject to verification as the El Dorado County District Attorney\u2019s Office continues its investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tamara Wallace has stepped down as mayor of South Lake Tahoe after publicly admitting to embezzling from a church.
