( PUBLIC HEARING - WATER & WASTEWATER TAP MORATORIUM Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 3:00p.m. on the water and wastewater tap moratorium. Jim Thompson, Director of Water and. Wastewater, said there is concern with the hook-up process in the area of the moratorium. Some people have contracted for houses, have loan committment, their houses are complete and they cannot close or move in because wastewater is not available. Mr. Thompson said the moratorium on tap sales should be continued. He said the only exceptions allowed should be for extremely undesirable situation over which there is no control. John Joseph, representing Nash Phillips Copus, told Council some of the people who have house contracts with NPC and cannot get a wastewater hookup are in the Council Chamber. They were, as follows: Peter Venezia said they has moved here two months ago, his house will be finished by October 1 and he cannot move in, Councilmember Duncan asked him if the moratorium was in effect when he signed the contract, Mr. Venezia said 15 minutes before signing he was told there was a potential problem but it was not a major concern. George Allen said he contracted in June for a home for September 1. They sold their old house and closed in late July. Sewer tap is not available so he is suffering financially and losing his committed financing... Council Memo HEARING - (Continued) 13 9/27/84 Councilmember Shipman asked about the tap. Mr. Allen told her when he bought the house he was told all he had to do was ask the Council and he would be granted the wastewater tap. Mike McHail said they have contracted to buy a house with no wastewater tap and asked for a tap hook up so they can move into their house. Sharon Dennis said she moved here from Houston and has a house but no tap. She said she signed the contract in March. The situation was not misrepresented to her, but she felt the problem would be solved. Barbara McHail had the same story as her husband. She said 8 taps a day are available and thought they would be on that quota. Arthur Balk also said they signed a contract in March and cannot move into their house and asked if he would ever get a sewer tap. Janet Soderholm said their house was completed in June in Buckingham Estates and cannot move in. John Braun, a small builder, bought 10 lots in January in the Williamson Creek subdivision. He has not been able to buy water and sewer taps. He is paying high interest payments and cannot build on the lots. Kay Stevens asked if people without houses and who have taps cannot give their taps to people with houses. Mayor Mullen pointed out to the citizens that they told the homebuilders months ago that a solution may not be forthcoming, yet the Council has to take the flak. Councilmember Duncan stated the tap buyers legally own their tap and Council cannot take them away and give them to someone else. Mayor Mullen said the City is trying to find a solution to specific problem. Councilmember Spaeth said this is an emotional issue. Dave Wallace, Texas Commercial Investments, said it is time to look for a solution. A greater capacity is needed because growth will not stop. Councilmember Shipman said "We recognize where we are but we are in a legal bind." John Joseph, NPC, said they know this predicament is not the fault of the Council, NPC has 167 people with homes which cannot be hooked up. He said if the moratorium is modified they believe they can solve the problem. Council Memo HEARING (Continued) 14 9/27/84 Ed Wendler Sr. presented a letter from NPC. Discussion followed concerning their proposal. (LETTER ON FILE IN CLERK'S OFFICE) Councilmember Duncan said the reason for this hearing is because NPC built homes at risk. Bill Bulloch, representing NPC, said they want to help solve the problem at risk and be a part of the solution now. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Spaeth's second, closed the public hearing and said action will be taken on October 4, 1984.
