Lunch provided
Register at http://waterpolicyforum.eventbrite.com
This forum is for local government staff working to implement or update their jurisdiction’s response to the drought in departments such as planning, building, facilities, maintenance, public works or landscapes.
The intent of the forum is to share information amongst local governments about what we are doing to address water conservation both in our own facilities and in policies affecting our communities.
The forum will:
· Clarify new requirements of the State for MWELO and Cal Green
· Discuss barriers to implementation, and identify potential regional approaches that could support your jurisdiction
· Review example tools and policy case studies
A preliminary agenda is attached.
There is no fee to attend this workshop, but you must be a local government staff and reservations will be accepted on a first-come first served basis.
Please email waterpolicyforum@stopwaste.org with any questions.
