The Committee had met Thursday evening with Mr. Gotwald; they thought that they would be ready with the plans in 30 days.. Mr.,Gotwald stated that Glenn Rehbein had drawn up the general specifications and that the committee could put in extras. Mr. Gotwald estimated the cost of having, specs drawn up from scratch would amount to 50% of the building's cost; but having a contractor go from ours would probably not exceed $500.00. Mr. Bohjanen asked if it would be possible to incorporate a built -in trophy case; Mr. Rosengren thought this could go in the back wall of the Council chamber. Mr. Gotwald felt that this as well as items such as carpeting should not be included in the contractor's specifications since the Village can get prices for this later. Mr. Rosengren stated that they felt that the Village should let bids on the sewer and water also instead of paying the contractor for subletting the work. W.
