• that they serve. He spoke on the topic of creation health principals which CTMC practices. Creation health is a growing faith based philosophy that focuses on the creation, enhancement, restoration and promotion of good health. Mr. Huenergardt stated that CTMC shows their dedication to creation health through a variety of ways including be an entirely smoke free campus since 2008, offering healthier and fresher foods in their cafe, and their institute for healthy living is offering free health education classes and screening services. He informed Council of an initiative that will be rolled out next year that will cause tobacco users to pay a higher premium than non - tobacco users. The reason for this is because smoking still remains the leading cause of preventable death in America today. He stated that since CTMC was taking steps to improving the health of its patients and associates that he expected City leaders to do the same. He continued that our beautiful San Marcos has an opportunity to add something to its many attributes by becoming a smoke -free City.

They believe that stage 3 is part of the water conservation long term plan. She stated that she understood the reasoning and logic behind stage 3, but urged Council to consider the points that she wrote in the letter that she provided earlier in the day. She suggested looking at the stage 3 specifics and find the particular items that the Council is unhappy with and perhaps temporarily suspend those, but don't get rid of stage 3 while the rest of the region is going through stage 3. She reminded Council that it is very important to their long range water plan that they try and remain consistent and that we don't get set back in our efforts. She urged the Council to read what she submitted to them regarding the RIP computer models. • CONSENT AGENDA 9. Consider approval of the June 21, 2011. Regular Meeting Minutes. 10.
