CITY MANAGER'S REPORT - The reclaimed water issue has been resolved. The pump has been repaired and we are back to normal reclaimed water supply levels.

Simultaneously we will have the ballot question translated into Spanish. Also, the results of the survey (to share thoughts on the term length, term limits, number of board members, etc.) sent to City Council pertaining to Advisory Committee consistency will be compiled and brought back to the next Council meeting for discussion.
