would emphasize the need for a collaborative effort between the private and
public sectors. He suggested amendments as indicated in the staff report
under Item Nos. 5, 6 & 7 (please see amended report file #517). He stated he
would tend to lean toward the 115% threshold before entering a moratorium.

project could provide for its own water supply. He would also support the
115% threshold. The Environmental Impact Report should discuss the
possibility of additional water supply from Nacimiento. He was supportive of
the comments from the Chamber of Commerce, Vic Montgomery and Ken Schwartz.

the community that exists today and nothing more until studies could
demonstrate additional sources of water.

comments that were made this evening.

management tool. He felt the Council should and must provide sufficient water
for.the existing population and he also supported comments by Vic Montgomery
and Ken Schwartz. He could support the revised figure #7 as submitted by
Councilman Griffin. He too would support the 115% over the safe annual
yield. He felt that a water supply must be found to carry the City until
Nacimiento or the State Water Project sources were available. He also would
support inclusion of Cuesta College.
After additional discussion and upon general consensus, this item was
continued until January for additional review and analysis by staff.
