10. Consider and Possible Action Regarding Ordinance #09-19-99 -Water and Sewer Tap
Fees.
Mayor addressed this item. He indicated initially this proposed increase was to take the
sting out of growth. He indicated that $2,000.00 might be too high, but he felt $1,250
was too low. He felt there should be something in between these figures. He asked if
Council was sure they wanted it this low, and indicated he wanted to make sure they
had thought it through.
Councilman Jenkins indicated at the last meeting they had instructed the City
Administrator to draw up an Ordinance with the changes as discussed, but changes
could still be made.
Mayor indicated he felt there was still more room for compromise, he did not want to
have to raise taxes on existing citizens in order to build infrastructure.
Councilman Garza agreed with the mayor, and indicated he felt the $2,000.00 was the
right figure, he indicated he also had a problem with the two different figures, and
indicated the existing and new lots would both impact the system the same.
Councilman Jenkins asked the Mayor what figure he felt was fair.
Mayor indicated around $1,600.00.
Councilman � McNeill indicated he was concerned about the ordinance
not stating how the money will be disbursed.
Mayor indicated the cost will be used and everything over would be put in a savings
account to be used for a new sewer plant.
Discussion.
Mayor suggested to change the effective date to November 1.
Council agreed.
This Item tabled, staff instructed to make changes to ordinance indicating
disbursement of funds, and extending date to November 1, 1999.

Councilman Jenkins indicated he wanted this item on the agenda for Council to
consider rewording it.
Discussion regarding Metal buildings currently in town.
Discussed wood materials.
Councilman Jenkins indicated he thought the word "wood" should be dropped from
the Ordinance and if the builder wants to use wood or other materials not listed, Mr.
Hagemann should have the ability to recommend they go before the Planning and
Zoning Commission for approval.
City Administrator recommended changing "side" street to "any" street in the third
paragraph so that "any side visible from any street is a minimum of 50% other
material than metal."
