Ms.Trela J. White, Attorney for the petitioners, reviewed the layout of the proposed lots, noting that the property has been subdivided into four lots with a cul-de-sac between Lots No.3 and Lot No.4, which was proposed by the Building Department to alleviate traffic and to provide easy access to Lots No. 3 and 4.

Minutes of Meeting May 26, 1987 Page 4- -------------------------- C. Mr. Kevin Juno, Architect, Gee & Jenson Engineering, reviewed a proposed program and cost estimate for the Village Hall Renovation and Addition Project. The plan would include renovations to the Police Department, Council Chambers, Administration Offices, Building Department and Maintenance Garage. The estimated cost of the renovation project, including engineering fees, was set at $500,000. Councilmember Collings noted that it is quite obvious that the Village Hall is in need of renovation; however, he expressed concern that the improvements contemplated should be given careful scrutiny to insure that the improvements would meet future needs of the Village Staff. Mr. Collings further noted the criteria necessary to be determined prior to approval of such a project as • 1) Is an expansion necessary? 2) Is the plan adequate for future needs of the Village? 3) What would be the method of financing the improvement? Upon completion of a discussion concerning various details of the plan and proposed methods of financing the project the consensus of Council was that the Village Manager should review the proposed plan for the renovation in detail and report back to the Council at the next Council Meeting, or at latest within the next month, with his recommendation for the renovation and method of financing the project. Mr. Juno noted that Gee & Jenson has been working on the proposed Village Hall Renovation for the past ten months without any compensation or provision of a contract.
