Stratton pointed out that Paul Springmire built the storage building before obtaining council approval for the permit.
Stratton: I don't think anyone should start a building before the permit is approved first. This should apply to everyone.
Morgan: The ordinance should be enforced. A special meeting should be called if someone wants to start a building right away. A $25.00 fine could be assessed. We have to start somewhere.
Spivey: It's already built now. Maybe someone should have stopped it before it got that far. Can we still enforce the ordinance?
Clerk: We did not have a building inspector then and no one was really in charge of that.
Potter: In the future, if any council person or mayor sees a building going up without a permit, he should contact the building inspector.
Mayor read letter from clerk to Paul Springmire concerning permit.
Greenleaf: The council has a wide latitude in enforcing the ordinance.
