Recently they have provided Judge Bunton with their findings. The impact of this Ordinance amendment will be to implement conservation measures sooner (at higher levels). Although the conservation measures will be more strict, Judge Bunton can still ask us to do more. On roll call the following vote was recorded: AYE: Moore, Hart, Guerra, Cox, Hernandez. NAY: Mooney.
