Newton told council members he planned to begin construction on a home in Mona, despite a moratorium, thinking that the moratorium would be concluded before his home was. Nevertheless, he said, others in Mona had been given preferential treatment and, to his way of thinking, the whole process undertaken during the moratorium had been flawed. He presented a check, which he had turned in at city hall earlier in the day, and a building permit application. He said he also had house plans and other required items necessary to obtain a permit.

"Wet water rights are in the well and can be drawn out at the well. Newton said the ordinance would have had to have been repealed and asked if any of them had voted to repeal the ordinance. In addition, said Newton, unless a plan was adopted in 1997, it could not be done. "You were a year and a day late (adopting a plan in Aug. 11, 1998), said Newton. Newton charged that the moratorium was not a state-impose- d mandate caused by low water delivery from the current system but was, rather, a moratorium. Newton also charged that Lynn was benefiting financially from the Painter town-impos- ed tain records to be released to him by the town clerk and this was not done. He had realized he must pay for the information to be copied and would be charged a research fee. The records, however, by definition of the town staff, had been opened and made available for Newton to do his own research. "Is any council member aware that for certain violations of law or abuse of power they can be sued in court as individuals and are not protected by the acts or omissions provisions (concerning public officials)? I will sue you as individuals not as a town council. homes built Mayor Lynn said all which Newton had presented to the council as evidence where built before he became mayor.

He was also angered by an abuse of the Freedom of Information Act, said See Mona on page 2 Newton. He said he had asked for cer x Water rights, he said, cannot be exchanged for part of the impact fee. He cited (7) (a) from the Impact Fees Act: "Impact fee means a payment of money imposed upon development activity as a condition of development v. approval and (b): "Impact fee does not s .v mean a tax, a special assessment, a building permit fee, a hookup fee, a fee for project improvements, or other reasonable permit or application fee. Newton presented a statement requesting, in addition to not being interrupted during his presentation, that the council give honest answers "without smart or terse remarks, and that any person not on the agenda concerning his presentation be prevented from making remarks until the presentation was completed. A list containing 22 questions was also presented to each council member and Newton requested Bryce Lynn, mayor, andor council members provide answers to the questions. "How many council members know how many homes have been built around the building moratorium? he asked. "I have 28 photos of homes built after the moratorium was imposed by the city. He also wanted to know how many had been built without the benefit of actual water being purchased, how Devi Woodruff Jeanne Worwood many council members voted to build a water link into the county, and if they could justify releasing water into the county that could not be mixed or included in the culinary system. Rhett Thalman, council member, who was not present for the vote, and Doran Kay, council member, who voted against the measure, were the only two council members who did not vote in favor of extending city water lines to the Pat Painter property.

Anderson reportedly swerved back to the right to try to get back onto the highway, but lost control of the vehicle. The car skidded approximately 100 feet and then hit one of the charcoal kilns. Anderson is believed to have died on impact from severe head, neck and internal injuries. She was taken by ambulance to Delta Community Medical Center.

The and simply running Shields said. prohibited culinary water being extended into the county, period. This ordinance takes precedence over all others until repealed. "I think another ordinance would supersede that one, said Lynn. He said recently the county had required the dty to list all potential growth areas. The area where the Painter property is located is in such a growth area. "Anything in the growth area we must consider for annexation, said Lynn. He said that Painter had also given more water in his exchange than what the town purchased from Larry Ostler. In spite of the fact that he voted against accepting the Painter water rights in the ditch for culinary water at the site, said Kay, the water was not useless to the community as Newton thought. The water could be transferred to the well site and could be taken from the council member. "If a guy does not use the water, what ground out of the well. It would then be is to stop him from building a home? placed in the culinary system. Kay identified it as a "wet water right which asked Mark Vest. Newton also said the council did not 'could be transferred to the point of di have the right to exchange water as part of the impact fee and presented a copy of the Impact Fees Act which he interpreted to mean that the city was illegal in its intent when the moratorium is lifted and can only charge money for the isn't it the same for everybody? he asked.

"How many building permit applications have been turned down or rejected when the submitting party has met all the requirements as others who have been granted permits? "Who is going to come and stop me and under what authority? asked Newton. He also said the person coming to stop him would meet with resistance and should be prepared to dial 911. "Did you use the same rationale when you were mayor? asked Lynn. "If you start building now, you will be in violation of the legal requirements.
