378 Councilman Petersen requested that consideration of appointments to the Veterans Memorial Commission be continued for one week as Committee consisting of himself and Councilman Granger, to establish a policy for appointment to Commissions, was not ready at this time. Mayor Herkner stated this item would be continued for one week. (Memo 12/6/66) Councilman Keckley recommended item requesting approval of a supplementary agreement with architect for Multi -Purpose Bldg. for consulting services on interior de- coration and furnishings of the building be continued to ascertain if any other alternative possible as felt a professional decorator might be more appropriate and consultant's fees excessive. City Manager reported check of several pro- fessional interior decorators had indicated fees would be 10% or more instead of the 8% requested by architect, and Staff felt architect to be qualified. He further stated considerable work had already been done with architect working with Park and Recreation Departments, but that no commitments had been made up to this point. City Manager stated fee at 8% would be approximately $950.00. Suggestions made concerning checking availability of companies handling such furnishings and charging flat rates for services. City Attorney reminded Coun- cil of necessity of bidding procedure if amounts proposed were over $2,000. It was pointed out that a furniture company who offered the services of their interior decorator, would expect to receive the furniture orders, but the City would still have to call for bids, and the consulting firm might not be low bidder. Mayor Herkner ordered this item continued for one week in order Staff might make a further investigation of Council's suggestions and report.
