Mr. Giesser stated there will be a public hearing on the Rec Codex on October 10, 1974, 8:00 P.M. This date being two days after the supposed date for the bids to be in. At that tip the bids will be in and will know exact cost. Public will be invited to give their thoughts and comueeats. Mr. West commented some an Council are expecting the architect to go over with Council as proposed to the Adhoc Committee. All have Questions sad there is only one way to find out exactly what this will cost and that is to go and get bids. Many estimates have been made by the architect and other people and all they ere are estimates. When we get the bids we will know the cost and then Coutul can make a decis~.on. Legislation is carefully worded so that before any bids can be awarded or anything started the majority of Council has to approve it. All have questions - can we really afford it; how. much is it going to cost and when we get all through - is it going to be worth what we are spending for it. ,. r.~~~, ..,,,..~
