Review Draft Agenda for July 20, 2009 Regular Board
Meeting
Stephanie
Pintar distributed a revised agenda showing an addition under the Action Items
-- Provide Policy Direction to Staff on
Water Permits Utilizing Half-Gallon Per Flush Toilets
Stephanie
Pintar discussed the need to add this item to the July 20, 2009 agenda. She reported that staff has recently been
informed of many issues regarding the half-gallon per flush toilets. One concern is that the seller of this
product is out of stock and is not expected to resolve production issues for at
least one year. Additionally, staff has
become aware that these toilets are not approved for residential use and do not
meet Uniform Plumbing Code standards.
This item will evaluate how the District will address the host of issues
associated with the half-gallon per flush toilets and provide direction to staff on resolving
the issues. Director Markey suggested
staff discuss this matter with District Counsel to determine what legal options
the District has to address these issues.
The committee reviewed the revised, draft agenda and made no changes.
The meeting
was adjourned at 8:55 AM.
