Mayor Morris introduced a presentation by Martha Latta, Chair of the Mayor's Water Conservation Committee, regarding the Water Conservation Report. Ms. Latta introduced the members of the temporary committee. Ms. Latta stated the recommendation made could become a way of life in San Marcos and thinks the committee should be established as a permanent committee of the Council and possibly employment of a staff person is needed to implement the report. Mayor Morris advised the 89-90 budget sets aside funds for a rate study, design and surface water fund. The City Manager will distribute the suggestions of the committee to the staff, boards and commissions to have the recommendations implemented which are feasible. Mr. Moore asked the City Manager if a utility board should be established for this purpose. Mr. Gilley stated a utility board is not needed and that a division within the Public Works Department, Water Management Division, would be feasible, as Mr. Boeker's department has already done many things to put in place water conservation in San Marcos. * Ms. Kissler was not present at this meeting.
