October 21, 2021 Page 2 B. California Special District's Association's (CSDA) Proposed By-law Changes Friedl reported CSDA routinely reviews their governing documents for potential updates. CRPD was especially encouraged to cast their vote given they are one of the larger and more involved Districts in the organization; it was also mentioned at the recent Ventura County Special Districts Association meeting. Friedl reviewed the suggested changes, which are largely non -substantive.

A. Annual Update to Conejo Recreation and Park District's Water Conservation Plan Friedl reported that the District has been addressing water conservation for many years; the leader guiding this effort has been Hare. Hare reported that the water updates have improved over the years; he proceeded to review a history of the District's efforts at water conservation. He expressed thanks to the current CRPD Board, as well as to past Boards, for their support of these efforts. For some background on tonight's report, he referenced supplemental information provided the Board this evening, which were Board memos from 2014 - "Water Conservation Policy and Practices" and 2015 - "California's Severe Drought and CRPD's response in Terms of Water Conservation Recommendations." California leadership has taken the drought very seriously. Hare reviewed what the State is doing this year and shared details of how the District has responded over the years to conserving water, including turf reduction, replacing grass with drought tolerant plantings, using reclaimed water at Triunfo Park and North Ranch Neighborhood Park, and adding an Irrigation Technician to CRPD's staff. Efforts continue to make water conservation a way of life. Hare reiterated his appreciation for the Board's commitment to water conservation and for being leaders in the community. He answered Board member's questions and was thanked for his informative presentation. It was moved by Lange, seconded by Cusworth, and carried 5-0 to approve annual update report on the District's Water Conservation Plan. A. Recreation Highlights B. Park Dedication Fees
