144 Mr. Roush replied that the person would be informed that he would receive a citation if the action is not stopped. Mr. Tarver further inquired if the determination made by the Director of Public Works and Utilities to move from one stage to another would come before the Council for approval. Ms. Acosta replied that the City Manager and Staff would be working very closely with the Director of Public Works and Utilities before any changes were made. She added that it is Staff's intention to notify the Council of any changes made. She expressed concern, however, that there might be situations where Staff may have to move into another stage more quickly than the matter being brought before the Council. Ms. Mohr commented that she found the program appropriate. Mr. Tarver indicated that he was in favor of the plan from the standpoint that the City should have a policy in place for conserving water. He pointed out, however, that as mentioned by some in the audience, the City should assess its ability to maintain water supplies over a long period of time for its residents before allowing additional construction. Mr. Roush asked Council to note that Staff is requesting that the ordinance be adopted as an urgency ordinance on the basis that there is a water shortage throughout the water service area. It was moved by Mr. Butler, and seconded by Ms. Mohr, that Ordinance No. 1508 be introduced and adopted, amending the Pleasanton Municipal Code by adding thereto Chapter 9.30, "Water Conservation Plan," regulating and prohibiting certain uses of water, prescribing penalties for non-compliance, establishing an adjustment procedure and declaring the existence of an emergency and declaring the urgency thereof. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Butler, Mohr, Scribner Tarver and Mayor Mercer NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None - 6 - 4-16-91
