Good Morning Mayor Evans, Nicole, and Cheri -
The quotes below come from the story in today's paper about the continuing
drought conditions, and November having been the warmest month on record here.
I would appreciate it if this email with these quotes are made part of the record
regarding the wave pool project. With dire projections such as these, in all good
conscience, the zoning for the basin shouldn't be allowed to go through.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Regards -
Bobbie Fleury

"Continued drought across California forced top officials to announce Wednesday
that no water other than what is critical to health and safety will be available from
Sierra snowpack and other diminished State Water Project supplies next year.
State regulators also announced they might impose watering restrictions in early
2022."
“We need to prepare now for a dry winter and severe drought conditions to
continue through 2022,” said Department of Water Resources Director Karla
Nemeth. “If conditions continue to be this dry, we will see mandatory cutbacks.”
"Possible mandatory restrictions on watering lawns and plants and other
measures were also announced by California’s Water Resources Control Board
late Tuesday,though they stopped short of calling for an
right ban. But if the proposed emergency regulation is approved early next year,
water districts could be required to issue fines if customers water within 48 hours
of a rainstorm or use drinking water to clean streets."
