Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Commissioners—
Last night, I attended the UDC Engagement focused on transportation and environment
issues. First, I would like to commend staff on an excellent engagement around a difficulttopic. The engagement was everything a member of our community could ask for—
informative, collaborative, and well-executed. We all got an opportunity to share our viewsand discuss the issues with our neighbors.
Second, I did not get an opportunity to sit down at the water conservation and sustainability
tables during the session. I strongly recommend the Commission consider code incentivesfor xscaping or native plant species in any new developments. As I have seen Jessica
present many times, the largest use of water in our community is watering lawns. If we wantto preserve our natural resources, it is critical to take steps to reduce the demand in our
water systems.
I look forward to following the UDC code rewrite process and encourage you all to considera code that looks to the future!
Mike
