SUMMARY: Attached as Exhibit 11-A is Ordinance No. 176, “2016 Rule Amendment Ordinance II.” This ordinance amends and clarifies definitions and certain actions necessary for processing and issuing Water Permits and Water Distribution System Permits. The ordinance also updates the user fee rule, adds rebates for non-residential new technology and the removal of whirlpool tubs in visitor-serving facilities, and deletes obsolete language from the Conservation Regulation.

RECOMMENDATION: This ordinance is returning for second reading after it was discovered that the wrong version of the ordinance was provided as the exhibit in the November 14, 2016, Board packet. The draft ordinance in the November packet was an early version prepared prior to first reading. Exhibit 11-A reflects the Board’s action on first reading.

At the direction of District Counsel, the Board should rescind the November 14, 2016, approval of Ordinance No. 176 and approve the second reading and adoption of the correct version.
