Pada masa-masa awal Lerik sebagai wali kota administratif, ia memfokuskan penyelesaian masalah kebersihan di kotif Kupang. Lerik juga mengambil tindakan untuk membenahi tata letak kota dengan membangun sejumlah monumen dan patung dan menambahkan lampu kota di sejumlah kecamatan, terutama di Kelurahan Solor dan Lahi Lai Bessi Kopam. Selain itu, ia memerintahkan penanaman pohon di Kupang untuk memberikan kesegaran kepada lingkungan kota yang gersang dan kering.<ref name="KompasMain">{{cite news |last=Sarong|first=Frans|title=Kupang, Kota yang Sering Menjerit Kesulitan Air|url=http://www.kompasdata.id/Search/NewsDetail/18670138|url-access=subscription|work=Kompas|location=[[Kupang]]|page=13|date=7 Mei 1991|access-date=7 Juli 2021}}</ref>
 
Lerik melakukan peninjauan terhadap perundang-undangan terkait tata ruang kota Kupang. Lerik menyatakan bahwa sebagian besar tanah yang seharusnya menjadi ruang terbuka telah ditempati oleh ratusan rumah, pasar, dan fasilitas umum. Lerik kemudian mengajukan usulan untuk menghancurkan bangunan-bangunan liar di kota Kupang namun menyatakan bahwa ia akan mengamati keadaan di lapangan sebelum mengambil keputusan terkait dengan penghancuran bangunan.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s)/no by-line.-->|title=Akan Ditinjau, Perda tentang RUTRK Kupang|url=http://www.kompasdata.id/Search/NewsDetail/18752283|url-access=subscription|work=Kompas|location=[[Kupang]]|page=13 |date=21 Maret 1992 |access-date=7 Juli 2021}}</ref> Sebagai respons terhadap usulan Lerik, pemerintah provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur membentuk tim yang diketuai oleh Kepala Badan Pembangunan Daerah Nusa Tenggara Timur S. Therik untuk meneliti penyelesaian masalah bangunan-bangunan liar di kota Kupang. Tim tersebut kemudian menyetujui rencana Lerik untuk meruntuhkan bangunan-bangunan liar tersebut dan upaya penghancuran dimulai pada tanggal 4 Maret 1992. Kendati demikian, setelah proyek berlangsung selama beberapa hari, cakupannya dikurangi hingga hanya 58 bangunan saja yang menjadi sasaran penghancuran. Dari sekian banyak bangunan, proses peruntuhan Hotel Timor Beach diawasi secara langsung oleh Lerik dan Bupati Kupang Paul Lawarihi.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s)/no by-line.-->|title=Dibongkar, Gedung Timor Beach Hotel|url=http://www.kompasdata.id/Search/NewsDetail/18768062|url-access=subscription|work=Kompas|location=[[Kupang]]|page=13 |date=17 Maret 1992 |access-date=7 Juli 2021}}</ref>
 
Meskipun Kota Kupang mengalami perkembangan selama masa pemerintahannya, Lerik gagal untuk menyelesaikan masalah kelangkaan air yang telah membayangi kota tersebut sejak didirikan pada tahun 1978. Walaupun kota tersebut memiliki cadangan air yang berlimpah saat musim hujan, cadangan tersebut habis ketika musim kemarau. Akibatnya, Kota Kupang sering kali mengalami krisis air bersih. Salah satu krisis air bersih terburuk yang pernah terjadi adalah saat awal masa jabatan Lerik sebagai Wali Kota Administratif, yakni dari bulan September hingga November 1990.<ref name=KompasMain/>
Lerik conducted a review of the city's spatial planning legislation. He stated that most of the land which was initially intended as an open space in the city had hundreds of houses, markets, and public facilities build over it. Lerik then put forward a proposal to demolish the buildings but stated that he would observe the situation before starting the demolition process.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s)/no by-line.-->|title=Akan Ditinjau, Perda tentang RUTRK Kupang|url=http://www.kompasdata.id/Search/NewsDetail/18752283|url-access=subscription|work=Kompas|location=[[Kupang]]|page=13 |date=21 Maret 1992 |access-date=7 Juli 2021}}</ref> The provincial government formed a team led by the Chairman of the Provincial Development Planning Agency S. Therik to research solutions for the problem. The team approved Lerik's plan to demolish the buildings and the process began on 4 Maret 1992. However, the demolition was reduced in scope to just 58 buildings that had no permits. The demolition process of a particular building, the partially finished ''Timor Beach Hotel'', was personally led by Lerik and the regent of Kupang, Paul Lawarihi.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s)/no by-line.-->|title=Dibongkar, Gedung Timor Beach Hotel|url=http://www.kompasdata.id/Search/NewsDetail/18768062|url-access=subscription|work=Kompas|location=[[Kupang]]|page=13 |date=17 Maret 1992 |access-date=7 Juli 2021}}</ref>
 
=== Peningkatan status kota ===
Despite the development during his term as administrative Meior, Lerik still failed to resolve water shortage, a problem that has plagued the city since its formation. Although the city has an abundant supply of water during rainfall, water supply often declined sharply during the dry season. As a result of this, the city often experienced clean water crises, with one of the worst occurring during Lerik's term from September to November 1990.<ref name=KompasMain/>

Kupang was an administrative city during this period, meaning that the city has no legislative body and the Meior is responsible to its parent region's government instead of the provincial government.

Lerik's second-term victory became the subject of dispute when a city council member named Ferdinand "Ferry" A. T. Nonna resigned several hours after the election commenced.

A few months after he was sworn into office, a religious riot occurred in Kupang. The riot was sparked after a group of people provoked masses standing in front of Kupang's main [[mosque]], the At-Taqwa mosque. The provocateurs urged the masses to take revenge against [[Church arson|church arsons]] by Muslims in [[Jakarta]] and [[Ketapang]]. The mob then set fire and ransack Bugis — a Muslim-majority ethnic — neighborhoods, markets, and kiosks.<ref>{{Cite web|date=9 Desember 1998|title=Background Briefing On Indonesia: Urgent Action Needed To Halt Communal Violence|url=https://www.hrw.org/legacy/reports98/biak/kupang.htm|url-status=live|access-date=2021-07-08|website=[[Human Rights Watch]]}}</ref> Eventually, several other larger buildings such as Muhammadiyah University, the Religious Bureau office, and several mosques, were also arsoned.<ref>{{Cite news|date=30 November 1998|title=Kupang Rusuh|work=Tempo|url=https://majalah.tempo.co/read/perilaku/98030/kupang-rusuh|access-date=8 Juli 2021}}</ref> As a result, transportation in Kupang went into a halt, with Kupang's main airport [[El Tari International Airport|El Tari Airport]] being closed to prevent rioters from coming in and several ferry routes from Kupang being cancelled by port authorities. Access to main roads in Kupang were closed, food supply in the city began to decrease due to the closing of markets and neighborhoods in Kupang began organizing community patrol to prevent further riots. Lerik condemned the riots, stating that the riots was the worst incident the city had ever seen, and urged the responsible authorities to prosecuted the rioters.<ref>{{Cite news|last=da Iry|first=Ans Gregory|date=2 Desember 1998|title=Suasana Kupang Mulai Membaik|page=8|work=Kompas|url=http://www.kompasdata.id/Search/NewsDetail/18495427|url-access=subscription|access-date=8 Juli 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|title=Indonesian leaders call for calm after riots|date=1 Desember 1998|url=http://edition.cnn.com/WORLD/asiapcf/9812/01/indonesia/|work=[[CNN]]|access-date=2021-07-08}}</ref>
 
Contoh sistem bapakisme ini dapat dilihat dari pilihan Lerik untuk jabatan sekretaris kota, Jonas Salean. Meskipun Salean berada di peringkat terendah dalam uji kompetensi dan tidak memiliki kemampuan, otoritas, dan senioritas, Lerik menunjuknya untuk jabatan tersebut. Lerik memasukkan Salean sebagai salah satu kroninya, dan akhirnya sebagai salah seorang "kawan korupsi" dan "kawan kolusi". Menurut para PNS senior di kota tersebut, Lerik lebih sering meminta pendapat kepada Salean alih-alih kepada Adoe dalam pembuatan kebijakan.<ref name=":0" />
=== Corruption and nepotism ===
Lerik's longevity in office was credited for his strong control of Kupang's civil service. Sylvia Tidey, an [[anthropologist]] from the [[University of Virginia]], argued that Lerik was the manifestation of ''Bapakisme'' ("Fatherism") governance system that combined "strict authoritarianism with the clientelist dispersion of formal and informal favors to loyal subordinates". Most of Lerik's civilian appointment was based on relations and favoritism instead of merits and achievement.<ref name=":0">{{cite journal|last1=Tidey|first1=Sylvia|date=April 2018|title=A Tale of Two Meiors: Configurations of Care and Corruption in Eastern Indonesian Direct District Head Elections|journal=Current Anthropology|volume=59|issue=S18|pages=120–122|doi=10.1086/696072|doi-access=free}}</ref>
 
== AwardsKeluarga ==
An example of this could be seen in Lerik's choice for the city secretary post — the third highest office in the city, Jonas Salean. Although Salean placed lowest in a competency test for the office, and lacking in skill, authority and seniority, Lerik appointed him for the office nonetheless. Lerik made Salean as one of his cronies, and eventually his "corruption friend" and "collusion friend".
