Solomon, Vice President of the Purissima Hills Water District,reiterated the benefits of a water efficient landscaping ordinance and thanked the City Council for meeting with them to discuss this important issue. He looked forward toward working together. 3. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR: Sandra Humphries, 26238 Fremont Road, commented that it was important to educate the residents on water conservation and landscaping issues. She further commented that currently there were very few, if any,wholesale places for native plants. Landscape architects therefore were not inclined to recommend these plants and by doing so lose their profit margin. She stressed the importance of keeping the rural environment and native habitats in Town. Ms. Humphries noted that in the near future the Environmental Design and Protection Committee would be putting in a demonstration garden of native plants at Town Hall. 4.
