<br />tion of public health, safety and welfare.
<br />
<br /> During the previous City Council meeting I advised Council of the conditions that existed
<br />in our 4 reservoirs as of July 18, 1980. We have not had any appreciable rainfall since that
<br />date and the useable capacity of the reservoirs has continued to decline since my last report.
<br />On Tuesday, August 5th, we implemented voluntary conservation measures requesting all citizen~
<br />to voluntarily comply in the conservation of water with a suggested list of items which is
<br />attached for your information. Since the National Weather Bureau is predicting that we may
<br />not receive any appreciable rainfall for the balance of this month, I feel that it iS in the
<br />best interest of the City from a public health and safety standpoint to adopt this authorizati~
<br />setting forth mandatory controls and measures when the lakes have reacbed a point to deem it
<br />necessary. The City Manager recommends adoption'.'"
