The YLWD/City Council Joint Advisory Committee approved the minutes of the

DISCUSSION ITEMS
2. Drought Response, Water Conservation/Drought Penalty Ordinances, and
Community Outreach Efforts
General Manager Marc Marcantonio spoke about potential credits from the State
Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). He said that credits could be allowed
for up to a maximum of 8% combined between population growth, climate, and
Local Drought-Resilient Supply (IPR). Mr. Marcantonio said the final amount will not
be known until the end of April or beginning of May.
President Ric Collett stated that the Yorba Linda Water District Board asked staff to
bring back the Administrative Penalties at an upcoming meeting to look at
restructuring and potentially relaxing the penalty structure.
President Collett said that the District has been inundated with Public Records Act
Requests with as many as five to eight per day costing the District approximately
$200,000 in staff time and legal fees.
General Manager Marcantonio reported that for the month of January the water
saving was at 31% and the cumulative savings from June through January was a
total of 37%.
3. City Landscape Transitional Plant Palette
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Michael Wolfe provided an update to the
Committee on the City's Landscape Transition plan and responded to questions
from the Committee members. He said that the first step will be to prepare an RFP
to solicit a landscape architect firm as well as a communications company for the
public outreach. After the award of contract goes to Council, the consultants and
staff will put together landscaping documents and concept plans and request
feedback from the public through outreach meetings and social media. The
Planning Commission will serve as the community input mechanism followed by
final approval of the City Council. Mr. Wolfe anticipated that the first outreach
meeting would be held in approximately six months.
4. Update on City's Existing Litigation
General Manager Marcantonio said that on February 18, 2016, the Superior Court
of California denied the petition of the Yorba Linda Taxpayers Association and set a
status conference for February 29, 2016.

have been unable to meet their State mandated conservation goals.
