Mr. Butzlaff distributed a mockup of the new design for this signage. The
estimated cost for each sign is $589. Mr. Nicks reported that the City was
partnering with the Golden State Water Company to perform a water
efficiency study for several City facilities. The City plans to use the study
for future grant applications. Mr. Butzlaff noted that should Proposition 1
pass, it may serve as another source of potential funding for
implementation of recommended improvements. He commented that City
staff was also looking at replacing turf at the Ch ampions Sports Complex
with California native plants in order to reduce the cost of maintenance
and watering. The Committee briefly discussed which agency would be
responsible for the cost of the new signage for the demonstration project.

Mr. Micalizzi provided an overview of the community’s response to the
implementation of Stage 1 of the District’s Water Conservation Ordinance.
He also commented on the number of applica tions for MWDOC’s turf
replacement rebate program, the number of reports of water waste
received by the District, and the number of violations issued. The
Committee then discussed Golden State Water Company’s efforts related
to water conservation and enforcement, potential water allocations from
MWDOC, and required reporting to the State. Mr. Butzlaff indicated that
the City had received some feedback from residents that it didn’t appear
as though local water agencies were actively enforcing water
conservation. He stated that the City would be happy to post information
on how to report water waste on its website.
6.2 Vehicle and Equipment Sharing
Mr. Butzlaff commented on the opportunity available for both agencies to
lend each other heavy equipment. He suggested that information be
gathered regarding price for equipment usage (including an optional
operator) to be used in the future development of an MOU. The
Committee also discussed the potential for both agencies to share the
cost of GIS personnel. Director Beverage suggested that the Committee
consider meeting every other month beginning in 2015. He also
suggested that a representative from the City of Placentia attend the
District’s joint agency meeting with the City of Yorba Linda.
