Mayor Jones stated that he had called this meeting to find out if
the Council is prepared at this time to hire an architect for the remodeling
of the kitchen at the Country Club. The Mayor pointed out that due to
absences of Council members there will be a lapse of at least six weeks
before there is a full Council again and hoped that a decision could be made
at this meeting.
Mr. J. H. Etter of Rader & Associates had been advised of the
meeting by Mrs. Dunn and reviewed his firm's qualifications and desire to
be considered for the job. In discussing fees Mr. Etter stated his company
did not compete on this basis and that fees were negotiated after being selected
but that it would probably be 10%. Besides communication with Rader &
Associates and architect Charles Richter, proposals had been received from
Frank E. Watson of Watson, Deutschman, Kruse and Lyon, Charles H. Markel,
Irving E. Horsey and Frank H. Shuflin. On the basis of these proposals
Mr. Claussen moved that the Council engage Mr. Horsey to do the architectural

motion was seconded by Mr. McLaughlin and passed by three affirmative
votes with Mr. Clement and Mrs. Dunn dissenting.
The second item of business to be taken up was the recommenda-
tion to hire an engineer to write specifications for new air conditioning at
the Country Club. Mr. Claussen moved that the Village Manager be instructed
to interview two or more qualified engineers, preferably Village residents,
to find out what kind of fee they will ask to write specifications as to size of
equipment needed, location, etc. The motion was seconded by Mr. Clement
and passed unanimously.
The next item of discussion was in regard to the proposed
ordinance regulating concrete markers on parkways. Since the last meeting
it was agreed that three feet from the pavement was more practical than five
feet which was stipulated for the ordinance by motion made by Mr. Claussen,
seconded by Mr. Clement and passed.
The meeting adjourned at 5:05 p.m.
