DISCUSSION ITEMS
2. Drought Response, Water Conservation/Administrative Penalty Ordinances, and
Community Outreach Efforts
President Ric Collett, said the District was awaiting approval from the State Water
Resources Control Board (SRWCB) on the self-certification application with a zero
goal and also stated that the current conservation goal remains at 28%.
General Manager Marc Marcantonio discussed the basic service charge reduction
that was approved by the Board on July 21 along with the Annual Budget. He said
the reduction was due to a hard-fought victory in reducing the conservation goal
from 36% down to 28%.
Mr. Collett reported that the W ater District was successful in the lawsuit filed
against them challenging the water rates.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Michael Wolfe gave a brief update on the City’s
LMAD Demonstration project. An outreach meeting would take place in the next
month and the city’s website would have information with design concepts and
further opportunities for input from the public.
3. Potential Future Agenda Items
Mayor Tom Lindsey asked for an update on the use of collected penalty fees
towards future conservation and assistance for citizens as far as Astroturf or drought
tolerant landscaping.
Brett Barbre, Municipal W ater District of Orange County (MWDOC), stated that turf
removal is not the most efficient or cost effective method to save water and said they
are moving away from that and more towards the device market which has
significant long term savings on water.
