City Council Meeting Minutes July 28, 2015 Page 25 of 28 Mayor Muckle agreed and stated he did not see how money is being saved. He felt the water is extremely valuable. Mayor Pro Tem Dalton agreed. Council member Loo inquired whether this should be referred back to the Water Committee. Council member Lipton stated the water committee looked at this matter, but did not consider Council member Stolzmann's comments and suggestions. The Committee did not want to overcharge the water tap or to be punitive. He supported the Water Committee revisiting this matter. Council member Stolzmann suggested an alternative proposal to deny the ordinance and continue to access a business tap and a residential tap. She did not support the ordinance based on a very small sample size and involving very few properties. Council member Lipton disagreed and stated the proposal may change, and he preferred continuing the ordinance. MOTION: Council member Lipton moved to continue Ordinance No.1697, Series 2015 to September 15th to allow the water committee to review this matter and make a recommendation to the City Council, seconded by Mayor Muckle.
