in and tell a manufacturing plant they have to manufacture different that is really <br />fuzzy ground and not sure what is to be gained by that. <br />Chair Cihacek recommended as the neat step to look at the irrigation use first <br />because he thought it made sense to get everyone in the City to use less water, <br />whether it is commercial or residential. <br />Mr. Culver stated the City is trying to get people to conserve water. He thought <br />there are some things staff would like to do about trying to subsidize or provide <br />rebates for smart irrigation controllers that will reduce the amount of water people <br />are using for irrigation rather than arate change. This is something the City is going <br />to do eventually. He wondered if there was something more the Commission wants <br />to do from a rate structure perspective to try to force conservation. <br />Member Misra stated the fact the Commission is considering different rates for the <br />summer, addressing irrigation specifically is saying the City is providing an <br />incentive for that conservation and without that incentive people might not make <br />the changes that would be made with an incentive. <br />Chair Cihacek agreed. He did think the Commission should look specifically at an <br />irrigation rate and mandating irrigation meters to start enforcing that rate with other <br />incentives for conservation from a rate structure perspective. <br />7.

He <br />suggested forming a sub -committee for the "Green Team". <br />8. Adjourn <br />Motion <br />Page 10 of 11 <br />
