WHEELER -NONE <br />14.D. COMMISSIONER PETER D. O'BRYAN--NONE <br />14.E. COMMISSIONER BOB SOLARI <br />14.E.1. IRRIGATION <br />Commissioner Solari provided background information on Senate Bill 494, which <br />pertains to Water Conservation/Landscape Irrigation Systems. He explained that the Bill would <br />require the adoption and enforcement by local governments of a Model Ordinance (which is <br />being developed by the DEP), and which would regulate automatic landscape irrigation systems <br />and impose penalties upon citizens for improper operation of same. Commissioner Solari <br />believed the County did not have the manpower to enforce these types of regulations; objected to <br />these types of mandates due to their unenforceability; and felt that matters pertaining to irrigation <br />should be handled by citizen education, and not by regulation of the citizens. He wanted the <br />County Attorney to draw up a Resolution asking the Senate not to pass Senate Bill 494, and to <br />leave local issues to local governments. <br />March 3, 2009 49 <br />
