“So other cities, I have a question, I guess this is probably for the city attorney, as to, for example, on slide 11, the physical water supplies conveyed to the city, this is in another jurisdiction, another municipality's ordinance, conveyed to city to offset usage.

“I'd like to see something like that. City attorney, can you talk to us about this? I know when the Axon conversation came up and I wanted to press them to bring their own water. We were advised by our city attorney not to do that because it could create exposure to the city. So how do we get there? I mean, I believe if we're giving increased zoning, if and when that ever happens, but If it's not, as you point out, Tyra, a by right use, I would like to see us have the flexibility to require that, the conveyance to the city.

“I think that's a really good idea, and the way that I envisioned this was, you know, we have to factor every development into our long-term water assurance, right, the 100-year.

So I'm gonna turn it over to Councilwoman Whitehead. But thank you for…”

“Okay. And then just last comment here before we move on. And I know Councilman Klausman wants to speak. I do think that's the HOAs that are watering with potable water. I think we should really be doing something about that. I think designing a plan to kind of wean them off that would be a really good idea. So that's super interesting. Councilman Klausman.”
