Discussion Items

2. Discuss Conceptual Ordinance No. 124 – Clarifying Rules Related to Water Permits and Credits

District staff provided an overview of the ordinance to the committee and responded to questions. The committee members agreed to review the proposed ordinance with their staffs and forward comments or concerns to Stephanie Pintar. The committee will discuss the ordinance again at its March 7, 2006 meeting and consider making a recommendation on the ordinance for the Board of Directors’ review on March 20, 2006.

During the discussion, the committee suggested that the following modifications be made to the proposed ordinance. (1) Page 53 of the ordinance, first paragraph: delete the last sentence and replace it with, “If a use falls into two different categories, the higher intensity use shall be applied.” (2) Page 59 of the ordinance, item l: text deals with required indemnification clause and should be highlighted. (3) Language on page 66 of ordinance, Rule 25.A should be clarified to make it clear that if a permit expires, the water is returned to the jurisdiction. Also the words in sentence 1, “whichever occurs earlier,” should be deleted. (4) Page 74 of the ordinance, first paragraph, the words “acceptable evidence” should be amended so that other forms of evidence not shown on the list could be submitted.

During the public comment period on this item, Judi Lehman asked how water use is determined for outdoor seating in restaurants.
