PUBLIC COMMENT 4.1. Public Comments Ms. Rosemarie Sauer spoke to the Committee to express her concern that YLWD will be requesting more cutbacks in residential water use. She commented that she is already a committed water saver and that there is little more that she can do to reduce her water use. Ms. Sauer showed the Committee her recent water bills, which showed her low per-capita water use, for which the Committee thanked her for her efforts and community concern. Ms. Nancy Stevens expressed similar concerns, that she, too, is saving water wherever she can. Mr. Marcantonio thanked Ms. Sauer and Ms. Stevens and said that the District is concerned with a District-wide reduction in water use and will be looking for residents who are wasting water. 1 Ms. Judy Murray expressed her concern with landscape watering and the need for cutbacks in water use. The Committee assured her that in addition to residential landscape that landscape areas irrigated by the City, HOAs and the school district would also be subject to the cutbacks in water use. Mr. Jackson commented that he attended the meeting regarding the issue of cutbacks in water use, but was concerned that this meeting was not noticed on the City's website, but was on the District's website. He noted that the meeting at the District was not in the boardroom and that there were no signs as to its location. The Committee apologized for the situation, noting that the meeting was moved to a conference room because of training previously scheduled for the boardroom, and that the City will check on the posting concern. 5.
