Taxes on the same property prior to purchase for use for low rent housing were $2, 039. 19.

Officer: "At the regularly scheduled meeting of August 21, 1967, the City Council referred to this office for study and consideration the request from Horner & Shifrin, Inc. asking an increase in fees for Resident Engineering services rendered in conjunction with our sewer construction program. After consultation with Mayor John G. Christy and Public Works Director Edwin Rackers, Jr. , and after further discussion with Mr. Ed Wisely, Consulting Engineer of Horner & Shifrin, Inc, , and then after careful study of Mr. Wisely's enclosed letter explaining reasons for the requested fee increase, I find the increase from $16, 764. 00 yearly to $18, 000. 00 yearly to be fair and equitable. I hereby recommend the fee increase be granted. I1cHpertfully submitted, /H/ Joe Abernathy Councilman I-Iiesberger sent the following recommendation in regard to altering the agreement with Horner and Shifrin: "Dear Fellow Councilmen: I am in receipt of the letter each of you received from Mr. Abernathy recommending passage of the ordinance i,aising our annual payment to Ilorner & Shifrin from $16, 764 to $10, 1180 for, tho Hot-vices of "Torn Van Osdol. I cannot agree that the ordinance (bill) should be passed in its present form. Specifically, I cannot agree that the taxpayerH of Jefferson City should pay 35oJo profit on top of the following monthly we are asked to make in the agreement: 351/'o profit to Horner and Shifrin on Social Security $24. 00 Missouri Unemployment Insurance $2. 00 Sick Leave $3. 00 Hospitalization and Insurance $21. 00 Vacation $41. 50 Holiday $16. 60 Bonus and Pension $50. 00 Why should the taxpayers of Jefferson City pay a 3516 profit to the company on these items? After ping the items for the company to begin with? The 3576 profit quoted by the Company as being recommended by the Society of Professional Engineers deserves study. It should be remembered that, while the Society is most honorable, it is set up by engineers for engineers and why shouldn"t its members recommend a 3516 profit to themselves? I ask that you: (1) table the ordinance so that I can offer amendments eliminating the profit on the above items - or (2) alter the ordinance to exclude those items from the profit bracket before passing. You'll be doing a service to the people, if you do. Cordially, ;t Tony Hiesberger, Councilman, Fifth Ward 113 Regular Council Meeting, September 5, 1967 ._..
