400 in and tell a manufacturing plant they have to manufacture different that is really <br />401 fuzzy ground and not sure what is to be gained by that. <br />402 <br />403 Chair Cihacek recommended as the neat step to look at the irrigation use first <br />404 because he thought it made sense to get everyone in the City to use less water, <br />405 whether it is commercial or residential. <br />406 <br />407 Mr. Culver stated the City is trying to get people to conserve water. He thought <br />408 there are some things staff would like to do about trying to subsidize or provide <br />409 rebates for smart irrigation controllers that will reduce the amount of water people <br />410 are using for irrigation rather than a rate change. This is something the City is going <br />411 to do eventually. He wondered if there was something more the Commission wants <br />412 to do from a rate structure perspective to try to force conservation. <br />413 <br />414 Member Misra stated the fact the Commission is considering different rates for the <br />415 summer, addressing irrigation specifically is saying the City is providing an <br />416 incentive for that conservation and without that incentive people might not make <br />417 the changes that would be made with an incentive. <br />418 <br />419 Chair Cihacek agreed. He did think the Commission should look specifically at an <br />420 irrigation rate and mandating irrigation meters to start enforcing that rate with other <br />421 incentives for conservation from a rate structure perspective. <br />422 <br />423 7. Items for Next Meeting — March 26, 2019 <br />424 Discussion ensued regarding the March PWETC agenda: <br />425 • Continue discussion on Commercial Rate Analysis — Irrigation <br />426 • Irrigation Technology Review <br />427 <br />428 Mr. Culver commented Member Trainor will not be continuing on the PWET <br />429 Commission and last meeting will be in March. Member Trainor was the Ethics <br />430 Commission representative. <br />431 <br />432 Chair Cihacek asked if any member on the P W ET Commission would like to sit on <br />433 the Ethics Commission. <br />434 <br />435 Mr. Culver reviewed the responsibilities of the Ethics Commission. <br />436 <br />437 No one volunteered at this time. <br />438 <br />439 Chair Cihacek indicated he would be at the March Ethics Commission meeting. He <br />440 suggested forming a sub -committee for the "Green Team". <br />441 <br />442 8. Adjourn <br />443 <br />444 Motion <br />Page 10 of 11 <br />
