II:
Current Planning Advice. We are prepared to furnish you advice on
current planning matters, such as rezoning requests, review of Fre-
liminary plats, assistance in recruiting a new planning director, and
similar metters. During the interim period until you employ a new
planning director, the amount of time which you would want me to
spend on these matters will likely be greater than after a planning
director is employed. This interim period might involve about 10 hours
a week for 10 weeks, from about March 1st through May 1st, 1964.
After such time, I estimate that about 5 hours a week should be suf-
ficient for such services.
My charges for such services are $18.00 an hour. This covers our
III overhead as well as payroll costs. Ten hours a week for ten weeks
would therefore equal $1,800.00 for the balance of the fiscal year
through November 30th, 1964, five hours a week, equaling $90.00 a
week, would total $2,340.00 for the twenty-six weeks. I therefore
recommend that you budget $4,140.00 to cover these services through
the end of the current fiscal year to November 30th, 1964. __...,`
