page #2 — Jan 31st 1961 Bemis spoke in favor of this project and suqgested that before making any agreement, it be ascertained who handles the "meetings" (he believes these are going to be very important) and if extra neetings might be required, what same might cost. It became evident in the course of discussion that this proposal at a cost of $31000.00 is a most economic project for Our small village.For instance, if the village had to employ surveyors to make maps, and lawyers to write ordinances — building codes and subdivision regulations — on a sort of "do —it —ourselves basis" — such cost might substantially exceed the cost of this proposal and the council and village would still be without any well conceived overall plan on which to base decisions for the future. The Council realized that the Uillage Budget cannot absorb this cost of $3,000.00 but it felt that the budget could absorb one third or $1,000. over the proposed period, and that the two thirds or #2,000.00 would have to be secured from interested individuals on a tax deductible basis, as has been done at Sunfish Lake. The Mayor asked the Clerk to work with the Chairman cf the Planning Committee to find out if these funds can be secured and report back at the next Council Meeting Feb 21st 1961. 6.
