Special Meeting, City Council June 30, 1984 Page 6 Brad Leach. Voluntary compliance in this community is good and comes easily. New lawns, should be watered every day. Growth is the fuel to add to the fire for debate for months ahead. We, as citizens, can not rely on getting the facts from newspapers or media, that is never the whole story. We need a fact sheet from this council as to what has happened, what are percentages of growth, water use, projection of figures, a.nd it go out with your short-range action plan on water. When your balance something like this with the good things done, like the snow removal, plowing streets, and keeping things moving, as rapiclly as Louisville has grown, I don't think heads need to roll over this unless there is something other that we don't know. Lloyd Hendricks, 1405 Aclams Place. Agree there is long-range problem (growth) and short-term problem (water). I have a large garden, and it will suffer if not lose it. We need guidelines for fruit trees, gardens, lawns, etc. Ann Mataka (sp?) 285 Lilac Circle. My only issue and concern here is water! Get this thing going so we can get water. Robert Vickery, 666 W. Linden. How long are you goint to run that generator in the middle of the night? It is really noisy and I can't sleep. Kasch: That is pumps, riot generator. They are used to pump the water across the dam to the plant. Contractor is piping into the raw water piping, and once that is completed the pumps will not be needed. Calvin Orman, 1562 Madison Ct. I am one of the bad guys trying to build a house. Your problems are bigger than mine. If there is no water, I don't need the house. I came in Friday to get my building permit as the fees will go up July 2nd. I'm already in shock from the current amount of fE~es. I was denied a building permit as the mortarium was already iri effect. Council please address my problem. Fred Walter, 277 South Jefferson Ave. Council should at this time really take a close look: at all policies. This is not a time to set heads rolling, to assign blame, but why this is happening. Council needs to findout; the best for the City to grown, furnish services, etc. To the citizens who have lived on either the East or West Coast, this is an arrid climate, and the watering conditions are vastly different. You will have to adjust to this. Mayor Meier closed the public: hearing.
