REPORTS OF SPECIAL COMMITTEES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendation of the Country Club Administrative Board to
approve a proposal dated May 28, 1993 from Armin Wessel, Architect,
' for Country Club renovation/redecoration was moved forward for
consideration under Section 12. a. of the agenda.
Councilman Pierman moved to receive and file the recommendation of
the Country Club Administrative Board to approve the return of the
balance of the $10,000 security deposit to Amici Corporation, after
the Village Finance Director approves the balance. Councilman
Valente seconded the motion.
During discussion of this recommendation, it was noted and
confirmed by the Village Attorney that the recommendation is self-
executing, since the contract requires return of the balance when
the contract is fulfilled.
Thereafter, the motion carried 4-0.

Councilman Pierman moved that item 12.a., payment of architect's
fee for country club renovation, be taken from the table.
President Pro Tem Atwater seconded the motion, and all present
voted aye.
Discussion took place concerning Architect Armin Wessel's proposal
letter dated May 28, 1993, and whether the last section of Page 1
relating to program changes and additional billing should be
deleted, since the proposal provides a $6,000 cap. The Village
Attorney recommended that this section of the proposal be deleted.
Further, Mr. Baldwin stated that reimbursable costs such as travel,
reproduction costs, etc. were not specifically addressed in the
letter, and that language should be included to say that there
would or would not be recoverable costs. Mr. Baldwin opined that
if the Council felt it necessary to take immediate action, then the
$6,000 cap should be inclusive of costs.
Councilman Pierman moved to approve the proposal letter dated May
28, 1993 with the exclusion of the last paragraph on Page 1, which
is to be eliminated, and to add language stating that any costs are
to be included within the $6,000 cap. President Pro Tem Atwater
seconded the motion.

Minutes of Regular Session
Held Thursday, June 10, 1993
During continued discussion, it was noted that a revised letter of
proposal dated June 2, 1993 had been submitted by Mr. Wessel for
consideration and approval, which was a revision of the May 28th
letter.
Mr. Kelly explained that the June 2nd proposal was more definitive,
and resulted from members of the special Task Force, himself, Mr.
O'Meilia, and Club Manager Alan Sayer meeting with Mr. Wessel to
further define the proposal of May 5th, which had been unacceptable
to the Village, and is no longer under consideration.
Mr. O'Meilia told the Council that he had negotiated the June 2nd
proposal with Mr. Wessel, and that all expenses were included in
the fee of $75.00/hour fee. Further, it was his recommendation to
include the last paragraph on Page 1 to prevent the Board from
making changes to the agreed program, since there would be no
additional money within their authority to cover extra billing; Mr.
Wessel, as well, wanted to protect himself against constant changes
being made by Board members.
' Councilman Pierman restated her motion by replacing the May 28,
1993 letter with the letter of June 2, 1993. President Pro Tem
Atwater withdrew his second, which had been based on the proposal
of May 28, 1993, prior to Mr. O'Meilia's explanation.

and seconded the motion. Thereafter, the motion passed 4-0.
