Special Meetings City Council June 30, 1984 Page 5 Mike Savage, 464 Sumac Court. I personally don't buy into all the agruements presented here today. Council needs more information than they have here. Council should set up a compensatory fund for those who lose their lawns. Will this happen again in a couple of weeks if we can't conserve now? Take a hard look at planning for the City and not issue any permits or taps. Christine Roberts, 266 Hoover Ave. Many of ~y questions have been answered today, but this all stems from problems of growth. It is really the City Administrator and Public Works Dept. who are at fault, we should have been notified in May or before, when the problem was obvious. Put a mortarium on growth until all services can be served. No one seems to know yet what the full capacity of the treated water will be when the construction is completed. Everett Lush, 106 Madison. My grass has been in for about 2 weeks, and another week and it will be gone. David Wahl, 661 Mulberry St. I am willing to restrict my watering, but how about the businesses, restaurants, car washes, etc. Should the;y be restricted, or shut down on certain days? Larry Allen, 1954 Sunnyside Circle. Questioned the numbers presented, he quoted many percentages, and what about next year's safety factor? What are you going to do to prevent this from happening again? People are willing to conserve if they can see something constructive come out of this meeting. The root cause is growth. Council con- sider having special meetings on growth plan so the town can know what is happening. Keith Seifert, 264 So. Carter Ave. City wide issue on growth at this time, should be put to a city wide vote. Examine closely the accountability of staff. If this had been a private business, some- one's head would roll. Legal recourse to examine a contractor, tighten up contracts. Bill Seader, 146 Jackson. Use better contractors. This is not a growth problem. This is strictly a contractor problem. Charlie DeBoogaard, 626 W. Lilac Ct. Like to encourage city council to pursue two further avenues; 1) get to the root of the problem, address the creditability problem. A head, or heads, need to roll. The consultants are partially to blame on this too. 2) City Council needs to figure out from the legal standpoint how we can try to limit the number of building permits and water taps. I have no problem with water restrictions and the plan developed by Public Works Dept. are fair, we could water every 4 days. But don't shut every thing off again, that is too drastic.
