Resolution 7121 Adopting Water Sprinkling and Irrigation Regulations 2 3 Public Works Director Lee explained the Resolution adopting water sprinkling and irrigation 4 regulations along with explaining how residents would be notified. 5 6 Council Member Flaherty said that he agrees with the tiers on restrictions but, as far as 7 violations, he hates to get into sprinkler police. He then said that he agrees with the lead utility 8 operator. 9 10 Director Lee and Council discussed when it may be necessary to go to a Tier 2 restriction. 11 12 Mayor Marty suggested looking into whether this could be assessed to the water bill if they do 13 not pay the fine. 14 15 City Attorney Riggs indicated it would be difficult to do so, as any charges associated with the 16 water system are supposed to be reasonable and related to that system. 17 18 Mayor Marty said that he would be concerned with having one individual responsible for 19 monitoring sprinkler violations. 20 21 MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Mueller.
