Trustee Margaret Trujillo brought up the Sign Permit Ordinance stating that she compared it with the current one and does not agree with having a variance fee (section 153.03(A)(2)). It was discussed to wait on the Sign Ordinance and include it in the workshop with the Dangerous Dog Ordinance.
Trustee Margaret Trujillo also would like to include a waiver on the outside village limit water Moratorium that treated water cannot be used for agricultural purposes, if a variance is granted the water is to be for domestic use only. Trustee Trujillo would like that in writing.
Mayor Ray S. Cordova commented on a meeting with the Tularosa Community Ditch Corporation. The Ditch Corporation stating that they had acquired $50,000.00 and the Village had acquired $50,000.00, the village having no knowledge of the $50,000.00 and he felt the village was misrepresented. Mayor Cordova said he would bring it up to the representatives in Alamogordo on January 4, 2008.
