10629 was limited to the period when a drought emergency was declared; and
WHEREAS, on June 20, 2017, the City Council formally rescinded the declared drought
emergency but directed staff to develop a plan to restrict public access to the Well, update the well
permit fee, and work with the County of San Luis Obispo and properties participating in the

January 1, 2019.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo
