9/4/84 Page -13- Acting City Administrator Rupp advised that as of August 31, 1984, 251 permits have been issued of that 90 single family, and multi-family 161. He was not certain how many of these had been issued from the "Other" category as authorized by Council. Motion to Lift the Building Mayor Meier moved, Councilman Fauson seconded Permit Moratorium that the building permit moratorium be lifted. Mr. Rupp advised that there were 251 permits issued and the total for 1984 was projected to be 375 and those remaining did not include the weighted-total. Councilman Leary Commented that he did not think at this time it would be prudent to lift the building permit moratorium for several reasons. One is we don't know if we are going to have the water plant on line next year and we don't have a moratorium on commercial develop- ment. We won't build the Howard Berry plant next year if we don't get a financing arrangement worked out. Until we know that we are going to have long range capacity it could create problems in the future. Councilwoman Johnson concurred with Council- man Leary that the building permit moratorium should not be lifted at this time. Councilman Luce preferred delaying this de- cision until the next Council meeting after the financing for the Howard Berry plant has been determined. Motion Tabled Councilman Cussen moved, Councilwoman Morris seconded that the motion to lift the building permit moratorium be tabled. Amendment to the Motion Councilman Luce moved to amend the motion that this be tabled until the September 18th council meeting. Vote on the Motion as Amended 6 Ayes, 1 Nay. Mayor Meier dissenting. Motion carried 6-1. NEW LAWN MORATORIUM Mayor Meier stated that he received several letters and several complaints stating people are allowed to water the dirt, but I am not allowed to water my lawn because I am not allowed to put it in.
