EXECUTIVE SUMMARY


The City of Fulshear is a participant in the North Fort Bend Water Authority's (NFBWA) Ground Water Reduction Plan.   An important aspect of the plan is water conservation.  The NFBWA, by Resolution, adopts water conservation initiatives that are extended to participants. Participants in the water conservation program can receive a $0.10/1000 gallons water pumped provided the program criteria are met. The City of Fulshear historically has participated in this program and has received the rebates.   

However, this past year, the program changed somewhat, and the water conservation committee now has a focus on Leadership involvement, i.e., City Council members.

 

The discussion will center around the criteria for this core initiative and how the City of Fulshear can provide the necessary members for the Leadership Committee, what that entails, and the requirements of the committee meetings.

 

If Council determines this is a viable program, then an Ordinance will be prepared to acknowledge participation in the program with the City's participation choices, create a Leadership Water Conservation Committee, appointing the member, and establishing the meeting schedule.


RECOMMENDATION


City Council provide direction to staff:

1. Participate in the Water Provider Conservation Plan or not.

2. If so, then create a Leadership Water Conservation Committee

3. Determine meeting schedule
