He recommended review be made of architects' fees because of the different percentages which have been charged to the City. (memo 3/28/67) City Manager stated Mr. Sexton had been asked to make this preliminary study for the fire station in accordance with Council's policy of using local professional services where possible, and could not answer whether submission of four other proposals would have resultd in a lesser cost.
