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 konstruksibangunan-konstruksibangunan liar di kota Kupang namun menyatakan bahwa ia akan mengamati keadaan di lapangan sebelum mengambil keputusan. 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.
 
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>
 
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/>
