MOTION by Larson, SECOND by Lea, that a policy be adopted with respect to admission taxes that would exclude from taxation special events that are bid throughout the general area where the tax would place local merchants at a competitive disadvan- tage, and, further the waivers would be processed through the Finance Committee. MOTION DEFEATED five to two with Hitchcock, Colburn, Craig, Kurel and Wisner voted NO. B. Fire Station Construction Schedule & Fire Station Architect Selection (Item IV G 2) - Colburn reported on the joint committee meeting of the Building and Public Safety Committees and asked for any comments from the Council. Hitchcock noted the Public Safety Committee concurred with suspension of the construction schedule on March 31st instead of April 1st so the Committees could take another look at it. He expressed concern over proceeding cautiously so future needs can be looked at. Craig felt there should be a handle on the requirements before an architect is hired. Kurle said they had talked the subject of requirements over at great length and it was one of the reasons the schedule was approved until March. He noted the criteria in selecting an architect had nothing to do with the requirements of the fire stations and that it had more to do with the experience of the architect. Larson said the requirements were basi- cally pretty well defined and the type of architect they would be looking for would he one with considerable experience. Wisner wondered if sometimes an experienced architect created a problem of having the answers before the City even had the questions. Colburn stated he was beginning to see the need to have input from the entire Council and possibly a consultant may be the solution in helping get the requirements. Hitchcock concurred with having a third party involved. He suggested the matter be referred back to the joint committee to investigate with the aid of the staff to get figures on possibly getting a consultant. Larson noted the City -4- AUBURN COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE FIVE JANUARY 17, 1983 VI. NEW BUSINESS (Cont. ) B.

MOTION by Colburn, SECOND by Lea, to refer the Fire Station Architect Selection and Construction Schedule back to the joint Building and Public Safety Committees for further study.
