4.	Discuss Response to Increased Occurrence of Outdoor Restaurant Seating
	Stoldt presented arguments for the committee to discuss with regards to permitted seats and outdoor seating and how should the District handle these situations. It was discussed whether the rule should be modified. Byrne suggested language be incorporated to show fairness to all persons and entities under water restrictions. Markey suggested this be discussed by the Policy and Technical Advisory Committees . Stoldt suggested staff conduct outreach with the jurisdictions’ planning departments to discuss this matter further.
5.	Discuss Power Washing as it Relates to Water Waste
	Locke presented various scenarios and complaints her office has received on water waste. She suggested water brooms be used in lieu of power washing. Byrne suggested a notice be sent to the businesses to suggest water brooms and/or other options available. One hurdle to communicating more efficiently to business owners and their staff is language barriers. Markey suggested that if the Rules and Regulations need to be modified, then it should be done. Locke stated she may include modifications to Rule 11 (Definitions) as part of Ordinance No. 161.
