Mr. Win. Reinhardt - Los Angeles ¥La s2 3-V1e-gaBs - June 15, 195** In accordance with our telephone conversation and my letter of April 27# 195**# two City Officers were assigned by the City to enforce water restrictions at Las Vegas during the curcreantte d suimnm emry lseeatstoenr, ofa t Aptrhiel e2x?ptehn.se of the Water Company as indiThese officers were assigned to enforce the water draetset.rictions on June 1, 195**# and have been on duty since that In accordance with your request# I am submitting herewith a form of dally report which was prepared for the purpose of showing the activities of each of the officers assigned, which covers the period June 1 to June 14, inclusive, and which shows the action taken by these officers each day. When these officers were assigned, 1 impressed upon ttihoenm atnhde eIlmipmoirntaatnicneg oafs emnufcohr cwiansgt et haes oprodsisniabnlcee. on water conservaIn reviewing the attached reports you will note that only three citations have been Issued during the period covered since it has been the practice of the officers not to issue a citation until a second offense due to the fact that there has been so much confusion on the part of the people as to the proper day on which they could water lawns, etc. I am assured by the officers that of all the people warned that the three citations Issued cover the only instances where a second offense has been committed. While it seems that possibly more citations should have been Issued, I am of the opinion that the assignment of these officers has had a very beneficial effect and has resulted in the substantial reduction in the amount of water waited as well as the saving of a very substantial amount of water due to the enforcement of the alternate day restrictions. I have Just been informed by the City Manager’s Office that one of the persons cited for violation of water restrictions appeared In court, pleaded guilty, and w&s fined |5*00« One other person cited pleaded nots-guilty and will be tried at a later date. The third person cited failed to report and will be brought into court at a later date. I will be glad to have your comments. Attachments L. R. Maag LRM:ejp
