Attention: Mr. Michael Jackson
Dear Mr, Jackson:
In accordance with request of the Council, I as writing this
letter to confirm the intent and results of the meeting held
on August 18, 1965, which envolved several of the council
members and myself.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the development
of a building program study regarding the present and immediate
future space needs of a proposed Municipal Building and related
facilities and the possible site location of such facilities
It was my recommendation that the council should commission a
professional person to prepare a basic and concise report
of building space needs prior to embarking on a program
for the actual design and construction of a municipal building.
Such a report would set forth requirements for present space
needs and an estimate of needs for possible growth during
the next five years.
I also suggested that such a professional person could assist
in the selection of a site for Municipal Facilities. The sites
available for such facilities would have to be made known to
the professional who in turn could make his recommendations
regarding the best location.
Upon inquiry from the Council, the writer stipilated that
he would perform a basic study and write a brief report
regarding building space needs, and assist in the selection
of a site for proposed Municipal Facilities for a fixed fee
of one thousand dollars ( 1,000.00 ). This study and service
will not include any architectural drawings. floor plans,

renderings, or other such items, and could not in any way
be related to normal architectural services pertaining to
the design and construction of the proposed facilities.
Should you desire our firm to perform such a study it would
be approximately two months before we could begin and I
anticipate approximately the same amount of time to complete
the work required.
I believe the above details covers the information requested
Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate
to call.
