1961 05 15 CC Minutesr 1599 not satisfactory to the Board, as members were not sure of holding the cost to $180,000.00 with such elaborate designing. Ile asked that plans be drown with more simple lines so that the group may make a comparison study. The preliminary plans were submitted on a construction estimate of $180,000.00, a 10% margin allowance up or down. The Board asked the Council to set a ceiling on the cost of the building as the contingency fund must be held to improve entrances to the building, parking lot, possible errors in estimates of equipment, furniture and /or books. After subtracting some of the estimated costs from the $32,000 contingency, Council- man Ward arrived at a remaining figure of $10,000 which could be credited to the building costs, if needed. After some time, Councilman Ward moved to set a ceil- ing figure of $190,000 on the cost of the Library building. -Bids will be sought on a $180,000 building, with a 50M margin allowance-making a ceiling figure of $190,000 as the peak for Library construction costs..
