TO: Mayor Sam Bauder
Cibolo City Council Members
BE: Watering of Athletic Fields at Dob!
FROM: Robert Lehnhoff
Due to the drought conditions and the movement towards Stage III watering restrictions, we are
requesting your help and guidance. During the summer months of July and August we have
been following the SAWS Plan for watering of non -conforming athletic fields in Stages I and 11.
(Section XI: Athletic Fields). This came about after discussions and recommendations by Calvin
Finch. Director of'Conservation at SAWS.
Stage ITT once again calls for not watering between 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM. It also states the use
of not more than 85% of the metered amount for that corresponding nionth for athletic fields that
arc not equipped with CCIS may be used
In Stage III our intentions are to cutback watering to once a week on the Dobie Field. This
would be a 50% cutback from Stage II_ We feel that we can keep the field alive and safe for our
student's use. This would also more than meet the guidelines provided by SAWS.
As athletic director I feel our concern is not about politics or money, it is about the safety of our
students. I hope that this will meet the approval of the Cibolo City Council.
