Individuals can get fined up to $100, while businesses can get up to $500.

Officials said police will have discretion on enforcing the fines.

The City Manager is expected to sign the directive as early as this week.

The directive also includes a proposal to combat littering in South Lake Tahoe, including working with the ambassador program to post signs on locked, commercial dumpsters and help pick up trash in public areas.
