DISCUSSION ITEMS 4.1. City of Placentia Compliance with Drought Mandate Mr. Vecchiarelli reported that for the customers served by GSWC in the City of Placentia, GSWC has met its water conservation goal of 24% reduction through February 2016. He noted that GSWC anticipates receiving a 7% credit for its participation in OCWD's GWRS project, which would reduce the conservation goal to 17%. With that new goal, Mr. Vecchiarelli expects that GSWC would be able to meet the new conservation goal through summer 2016. 1 4.2. YLWD Drought Response, Water Conservation/Drought Penalty Ordinances, and Community Outreach Efforts Mr. Micalizzi reported that YLWD had met its water conservation goal of 36% through February 2016, which includes those customers served in the City of Placentia (which is approximately 10% of YLWD's customer base).

Enforcement of Governor's Mandate on Water Use Restrictions Mr. Vecchiarelli commented that GSWC had not issued any fines on its customers.

Mr. Vecchiarelli also indicated that GSWC will be initiating a 30-cent/CCF increase in its water rate effective March 1, 2016 to compensate for the 25% reduction in water sales.
