There was some discussion among. Councilmembers relative to
the action taken at the last meeting of Council concerning water
connection fees. Mayor Ratcliffe advised that he understood Town
Manager Coake had talked with the Town's legal advisor.
Town Manager Coake advised that he had talked with the Town
Attorney and there were two options which Council could consider.
Mayor Ratcliffe advised to save time and the fact that the
group is waiting for an answer, suggested Council go into executive
session for a decision on the matter.

and carried, Council went into executive session at 5:10 P.M. to discuss
a legal matter in accordance with Section 2.1-344 of the Code of Virginia.

CouncilmanJohnston stated that on July 20, 1982 the Council
adopted an ordiance to amend Section 29-9 of Article II of the Pulaski
Town Code, and to re-enact, as amended, Section 29.1-9 to increase
the water connection fees for both inside and outside of Town. Prior
to the adoption of this ordinance some of the residents along Brookmont
Road had contacted the Town inquiring about the connection fees and
were therefore informed of the rates prior to the adoption of this
ordinance. Since this project was in process during the adoption of
this ordinance, I would like to move that water connection fees to
residents in this project area only be established as those in effect
prior to the adoption of the ordinance on July 20, 1982 and remain at
that rate until September 1, 1982 at which time they will be increased
July 27, 1982 ~~~~
to the rates as adopted on July 20, 1982, and in order to received
a water connection at the rates prior to July 20, 1982 the resident
must make application prior to September 1, 1982. Motion seconded by
Councilwoman Mitchell, and carried on the following vote:
