+Lots has been said about this law. Here are the facts.
+AB 1572
+California continues to grapple with the profound effects of climate change, particularly persistent drought conditions and diminishing water resources. In response to these pressing environmental challenges, the state has enacted AB 1572 (October 13th, 2023), a piece of legislation designed to significantly enhance water conservation efforts. This law targets a specific, yet widespread, form of water waste: the irrigation of nonfunctional turf with potable (drinking) water.
+Why it matters:
+AB 1572 is a step toward a more water-wise California. By cutting out wasteful water use and making our landscapes more sustainable, the law helps protect our drinking water and prepare for a drier future.
+What is the Core Purpose of AB 1572?
+At its heart, AB 1572 is a proactive measure to safeguard California's vital drinking water supplies. The law introduces a statewide prohibition on the use of potable water for irrigating "nonfunctional turf" in specific settings. Nonfunctional turf is defined as grass that serves no practical purpose for human activity or recreation. This includes, but is not limited to, ornamental grass strips along roadways, expansive lawns in corporate parks, unused patches of grass in front of commercial buildings, and other similar areas that are not regularly used for sports, play, or social gatherings. The rationale behind this ban is straightforward: in a state facing chronic water scarcity, dedicating precious drinking water to maintain purely aesthetic or unused landscapes is deemed an unsustainable and wasteful practice.
+Understanding the nuances of AB 1572 is crucial for all Californians, even though the primary focus of the ban is on commercial and public properties.
+. The Underlying Issue: Why is This Law Necessary?
+California's water supply is under immense pressure due to a combination of factors, chief among them the ongoing impacts of climate change. This manifests as reduced snowpack, earlier snowmelt, and more frequent and severe droughts. In this context, using highly treated and valuable drinking water for decorative or unused grass areas represents a significant inefficiency. The state recognizes that every drop of potable water must be managed judiciously to ensure long-term water security for its residents, agriculture, and industries.
+. Key Provisions of the Law: What Does AB 1572 Mandate?
+• Prohibition on Potable Water for Nonfunctional Turf: The most significant aspect of AB 1572 is its direct prohibition on the use of drinking water to irrigate nonfunctional turf. This ban applies to a broad range of properties, including commercial, industrial, and many public or community spaces. It is critical to note that this law does not apply to single-family residential properties, though homeowners are still strongly encouraged to adopt water-wise landscaping practices.
+• Promotion of Climate-Appropriate Landscaping: Beyond the prohibition, the law actively promotes and encourages the transition to "climate-appropriate landscaping." This refers to the cultivation of plants that are naturally suited to California's arid and semi-arid climate, such as native drought-tolerant species. Such landscaping significantly reduces water demand and often requires less maintenance, contributing to long-term sustainability.
+• Exclusions and Exemptions: It is equally important to understand what the law does not ban. AB 1572 explicitly allows for the continued watering of "functional grass" — turf areas that serve a legitimate purpose. This includes:
+• Parks and public recreational spaces.
+• Sports fields (e.g., soccer fields, baseball diamonds).
+• Cemeteries.
+• Any other areas where people regularly gather, play, or engage in recreational activities. The intent is not to eliminate all green spaces, but to eliminate wasteful irrigation of unused turf.
+•
+. Phased Implementation: When Will the Law Take Effect?
+AB 1572 features a phased implementation schedule to allow property owners and managers sufficient time to adapt and transition their landscapes. This gradual rollout ensures a smoother process and provides opportunities for planning and resource allocation.
+• January 1, 2027: State and local government properties will be required to cease watering nonfunctional turf with potable water. This initial phase sets an example for public entities.
+• January 1, 2028: The ban extends to all commercial, industrial, and institutional properties. This broad category includes business parks, shopping centers, office complexes, hospitals, universities, and other non-residential establishments.
+• January 1, 2029: Common areas within Homeowners Associations (HOAs) and other shared communities will come under the purview of the law. This ensures that communal green spaces within multi-family developments also adhere to the new water conservation standards.
+• January 1, 2031 (or later): A crucial provision in the law addresses properties located within "disadvantaged communities." For these areas, the ban on watering nonfunctional turf will only take effect once dedicated funding becomes available to support the transition to water-efficient landscapes. This ensures that the financial burden of compliance does not disproportionately fall on communities with limited resources.
+. Specific Exceptions: Are There Any Loopholes?
+While the law is stringent, it does include pragmatic exceptions to ensure public safety, environmental health, and to accommodate specific circumstances:
+• Tree and Plant Health: Water can still be used to maintain the health and viability of trees and other non-turf plants within landscapes, recognizing their ecological and aesthetic value.
+• Health and Safety Risks: If ceasing irrigation would pose a direct risk to public health or safety (e.g., dust control, fire prevention in specific circumstances), exemptions may apply.
+• Hardship Grace Period: The law allows for a "grace period" of up to three additional years for properties facing demonstrated hardship in complying with the regulations. This provides flexibility for unique or challenging transition scenarios.
+. Enforcement and Compliance: Who Oversees the New Regulations?
+Enforcement of AB 1572 will primarily be handled at the local level by water agencies, cities, or counties. These entities will be responsible for ensuring compliance within their respective jurisdictions. A key compliance mechanism is the requirement for property owners to certify their adherence to the rules every three years, beginning in the 2030–2031 fiscal year. This self-certification process, coupled with potential local oversight, aims to ensure widespread adoption of the new standards.
+. Support and Resources: What Help is Available for Transition?Recognizing that transitioning from traditional turf to water-wise landscapes can involve significant changes, AB 1572 includes provisions for support and resources:
+• State Funding and Programs: The state is committed to providing financial assistance and establishing programs to support turf replacement initiatives. A particular focus will be on assisting disadvantaged areas and affordable housing developments, ensuring equitable access to resources for compliance.
+• Information Dissemination: The state will actively promote information and resources related to water conservation and landscape transformation through its established Save Our Water website. This platform will serve as a central hub for guidance, best practices, and available support.
+• Support for Small and Minority-Owned Businesses: To further facilitate the transition, the state will offer support to small and minority-owned businesses that specialize in landscape design, installation, and maintenance focused on climate-appropriate solutions. This not only aids in compliance but also fosters economic development within the green industry.
+Why AB 1572 is Crucial for California's Future:
+AB 1572 represents a pivotal stride towards cultivating a more water-wise and resilient California. By strategically eliminating wasteful potable water use for nonfunctional landscapes, the law directly contributes to:
+• Protecting Our Drinking Water: It ensures that a finite and essential resource is prioritized for human consumption and critical needs, rather than being expended on purely ornamental purposes.
+• Enhancing Water Security: Reducing overall water demand strengthens the state's ability to withstand future droughts and climate variability, building greater resilience into its water infrastructure and management.
+• Promoting Sustainable Landscapes: The law encourages a fundamental shift in landscaping practices, moving away from thirsty turf towards ecologically sound, climate-appropriate designs that require significantly less water, chemicals, and maintenance.
+• Preparing for a Drier Future: As climate models predict increasingly dry conditions for California, AB 1572 proactively prepares the state for these realities by embedding water conservation into its legal and environmental framework.
+In essence, AB 1572 is more than just a ban; it is a catalyst for a more sustainable, water-efficient, and environmentally conscious future for California. It underscores the collective responsibility to manage precious resources wisely for the benefit of current and future generations.

+YLK letter. 7-5-25
+Hello neighbors. Hope you had a memorable and enjoyable Fourth.
+Please read this note through.
+Tomorrow, Sunday, we’re having a driveway talk around at Judy’s driveway, 4:00PM at 4799 Carmonita Lane. Bring a chair and beverage if you plan to attend.
+Here’s what’s on the agenda. I get the sense that the Board may be moving close to a decision to begin the Irrigation Project that will start this year and continue through January of 2029. This irrigation project will greatly impact and change the look and landscape of our complex. You might want to be aware of and have input on the changes that are coming. You’ll want to come to the driveway talk and then consider attending Thursday’s meeting.
+Remember, Driveway Talks are for ALL residents. Only property owners may attend board meetings.
+I am including the financial docs for June. The aforementioned project marks a significant challenge to our finances as we juggle the ongoing needs of roof maintenance, hard scape, landscape, and HOA structures. We’re working to achieve this change in a timely manner and without having to have a property assessment. We will need input.
+We’re also discussing the electric panel concerns, the slope reconstruction update, among other concerns.
+These are BIG PICTURE issues. We hope you can join us to consider and add your perspective. See you tomorrow.
+----

+Hello Neighbors.
+At February's meeting the votes were tallied and the results are in.
+Lynn Slack received the highest number and was reinstalled as President of the Board.
+Akin Odebunmi received the second highest votes and was installed as At Large member.
+Paul Nelson and Kirk Bulis tied for third and Paul made the decision to retire after more than two decades of service. Thank you Paul. Kirk continues to serve as Vice President.
+Looking ahead to the next 10 days, we will have a financial committee meeting on Sunday at 3:00PM in the clubhouse immediately preceding the March Talk Around, which will start at 4:00 PM. (That is the first day of Daylight Savings so it will be a later sunset. Yahoo.)
+Conversations are of a continuing nature. For instance ...
+The main pool resurfacing ... The board voted to move forward and we are currently in the clarifying stage with Alan Smith Pools.
+The Slope 1 repair and reconstruction continues. Legal currently has the ball and we are moving ahead in cooperation with the City of Yorba Linda.
+The two-plaza-paver-project and concrete project are still in the works.
+The trash pickup review conversation continued with reports given from walk throughs and comments by neighbors. We have 12 plazas and each will need their own solution. We will talk more about this at the talk around.
+The patio survey has begun and we will talk more about this at the talk around.
+Monarch Landscape Consulting gave a proposal and helped us with more perspective. We could use more input on the landscaping of the future here at the Knolls. We will talk more about this at the talk around.
+The Community-Wide Garage Sale is scheduled to be held on Saturday, May 17th with the dumpster, shredding, and electronic waste scheduled for May 19th through the 23rd. We could use some help with getting the word out. We will talk more about this at the talk around.
+We will talk about speeding, E-bikes, and speed bumps.
+And we will have time for your comments.
+Everyone is welcome to the 4:00 Sunday meeting. This is the time for renters to hear and be heard.
+The board meeting will be Thursday at 7:00PM at the clubhouse. Owners, please join us.
+Thanks for helpiing to make this a safe and beautiful community.
+Hope to see you soon.
+Dave and Chris.
+P.S. Financials will go out as soon as they are available.

+Hi neighbors.
+Tonight’s election starts at 6 and the meeting shortly thereafter. Hope to see you there.

+Happy February neighbors.
+Chris and I are eagerly awaiting Sunday’s Super Bowl game. We are lining up our dishes and anticipating good football and good entertainment. Oh, and it happens smack dab at the same time we are supposed to have a Talk-Around at the clubhouse!
+OK ... time for a change of plays, a call from scrimmage. Let’s have the meeting at 2 o’clock and we will make it a short and quick one.
+What are items we have to discuss?
+  * Progress on repair for the slide on slope one.
+  * Progress on the fall tree trim, and tree removal.
+  * Progress on the pool resurfacing.
+  * Progress on the trash truck pick up process.
+  * Board election results at the next quorum, which we will have.
+  * Progress on the patio survey.
+  * Discussion on priority of pavers for Marino and Almara plazas.
+And hopefully you will get a chance to look over the financials from December and January that I am including in this email.
+We will keep it short and sweet.
+The board meeting is on February 13th at 7:00 at the clubhouse. (I am guessing the election will be at 6:00PM)  We hope to see you there.
+Be well.

+Good morning neighbors.
+IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ.
+First off, we had an irrigation break on slope 1 by the sidewalk leading to the Linear Park. The broken pipe emitted gallons and gallons of water down the slope for hours before it was shut off, causing a rupture and breakage of our fence along that part of the slope.
+Irrigation water is shut off. I am not sure what lines are affected. If you need something watered, do so by hand using your hose.
+Board Treasurer Raghu Khomidi and I met with YL City Parks and Rec Director Rick Yee this morning to discuss the way forward. The city is concerned that the slope not have any more erosion and has directed our HOA to lay tarps down. They also have informed us they do not have the resources needed to direct the engineering side of the slope restoration and gave us the green light for the go ahead to begin work ASAP.
+The HOA is in contact with a geologist to come and inspect our slope. He has done a previous study and is versed in our situation.
+RGS is coming out Tuesday morning to inpsect and discuss repair of the broken line.
+The Board and management team are in discussion today on our path forward.
+Will keep you advised.
+Regarding last Thursday's meeting, we fell well short of the 50% vote quorum requirement but more that met the next quorum requirement so the election will be held at the February meeting, votes counted, and 2025 board determined. Thanks for getting your votes in.
+The YLKTA group and the board discussed concrete repair last week and as part of this discussion, agreed to make an effort to place trash cans in more central collection areas. Members fanned out this morning to collect cans away from the plazas and also group cans on one side of the street if possible, to streamline collection and lessen the load of trash trucks running back and forth on the concrete.
+We will continue to make this effort and will also be sending out a survey, get feedback, amend the rules on trash collection and use markers to designate trash container placement.
+Winds continue. Keep a watchful eye.
+More later.
+Dave and Chris

+Hello Neighbors!!
+It is ELECTION DAY!!!!!!!!!
+Be sure your ballots are at the clubhouse tonight between the 6 and 7 o'clock hour. We want to make quorum tonight!
+The regular board meeting begins immediately afterward. We have a doozey of an agenda: Slope; Irrigation: Concrete; Pools; Trash Collection Mitigation ... Join us for the discussion.
+But foremost, get your ballot in.
+:00 PM |  6:00 PM |  6:00 PM |  6:00 PM |  6:00 PM |  6:00 PM |
+Thank you.

+An irrigation line burst over by the slope on the Gun Road Park area. Thankfully the neighbor got help quickly enough that we were able to divert the water until the fire department was able to turn off the water. Looks like we are going to have to reassess supporting that slope. Can't impress enough how important it is that when you see something, say something so that we can get to it right away. Thanks to all who helped us head off this problem.
+Don't forget that your ballots are due at tomorrow's meeting at 6:00. We would like to get a full quorum first time around.
+Also remember, tonight is decal sticker night for parking if you have not already taken care of that. The event will start at 6:00 p.m. in front of the main pool. Be sure to bring your car that needs a sticker and all your paperwork.
+Thanks again.
