October 1990

The Cooke Council passes an interim water quality ordinance, rather than the 6-month development moratorium called for by the environmental community. The interim ordinance will remain in effect until the city can pass a non-degradation water quality ordinance.  

I want to see the votes for a moratorium. This council ought to have the guts to put it on the table. I want to see where everybody stands.
