Prepared by:Marissa Trejo, City Manager


I.    RECOMMENDATION:

This item was requested as a future agenda item by Councilman Horn and Councilman Adkisson.

 



II.    BACKGROUND:

As the water situation worsens, the City Council has directed staff to reinstate the pool moratorium as well as inflatable water slides and the like. 

III.   DISCUSSION:

This item temporarily suspends the permitting of any new residential, commercial, institutional and industrial pool, spa, hot tub, inflatable water slide or something similar, and decorative water fountain or feature for pleasure or business use, of any size, that requires or is part of a permit by placing a moratorium. in addition this resolution restricts the use of inflatable water slides and other water plays structures. This will be in effect until the City proclaims the water conservation emergency to be over or this resolution is repealed by subsequent action. 

IV.   ALTERNATIVES:

1.  Do not adopt Resolution;

2.  Add Temporary suspension of car wash fundraisers. 



V.    FISCAL IMPACT:

There will not necessarily be a fiscal impact.  The City will temporarily have a reduction in permit fees, but the permit fees pay for the cost of the permitting process and inspections and that work will not be taking place.
