Assistant City Manager Garry Brumback opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. and
explained the rules governing the procedures.
Mr. Morrison said he had planted new sod and watered it more than once a week. He
said he had disposed of the receipt for the sod days before he received a letter from
Development Services Director Jeff Kronschnabl, charging him with water violations. Code
Enforcement Inspector Eric Wilson stated City staff had left eight door hangers on the
resident’s front door at 2936 Mayfair Court since 1999, warning of infractions to watering
restrictions and requesting compliance with the ordinance. Mr. Morrison said the first letter he
received was related to watering his new sod, which covered the front quadrant of his yard.
Mr. Wilson indicated additional watering is permitted only if 50% of the entire yard is replaced
with sod. Mr. Kronschnabl said Mr. Morrison has been cooperative with staff.
Mr. Brumback concluded the City would waive Mr. Morrison’s fine but would appreciate
his future support of City laws and conservation of water resources. Mr. Kronschnabl
suggested Mr. Morrison reset his lawn sprinklers to manual.
Mr. Brumback concluded the proceedings at 11:17 a.m.
