“Still, it’s there for the asking," Ryan argued. “We should take advantage of it.”
Miller protested, “This gesture would be useless. What the town needs is water to flush toilets, do wash, and take showers. The National Guard can't help us with this .... I don’t believe in asking for something we don’t need."
The mayor agreed to meet citizens at the court house Friday evening. January 16, to give a further report, and the council briefly considered other business.
Zoning Update
John Cappelle. executive director of the Planning District Commission, was present to discuss the updating of the town’s zoning plan.
Miller asked Cappelle to review the plan and return at a later meeting to advise the council.
“We’d like residents to sit in when we review the plan.” Miller said. "We’d like to, make it almost like an open hearing." Miller said that he would provide copies to anyone itnerested in the review.
At Kramer's request, Fisher agreed to act as council’s representative to the special air pollution meeting on February 16.
Kramer announced his intention to begin a fundraising drive to buy back the benches that were in the church that was recently purchased as the new town hall, and asked if the town council would approve any money for that purpose.
Council members said that they supported the idea but that they couldn’t obligate any town money until the water problem was solved.
"Maybe some time in the future." Miller said. "We just can’t do anything right now."
The mayor reminded those present to call him if they had any information that would help with the water emergency, and the council adjourned.
