Hon. Dr. Robt. H. Stine, Councilman
Ci ty of F a i r hope
Fa rhope, Alabama
Dear Bob:
Thank you very much far the time you ga.e me Thursday evening,
December 17 and I hope you will g've favorable consideration to
my proposal on behalf of Thornton, Farish & Gauntt, Inc. acting
as Fiscal Agent for Fairhope. This will confirm our basic fee
as outlined to you verbally: 1% for the first $100,000.00;
3/4% for the next $200,000.00; 1/2% for all over $300,000.00.
This basic fee, of course, covers all services as outlined in my
oral presentation as well as those specifically outlined in my
letter to you dated N vember 2, 1964.
You will recall the question came up whether in our fe-e, we would
absorb the expenses of the City Attorney, to which question my
reply was negative. "owever, you will note on page 4 of my November
2 letter, item F under "expenses assumed by Fiscal Agent" there
could be times when such expense might be absorbed. This would of
course, need to be under such circumstances as a fairly good size
bond issue and rather minimum services on the part of the City
Attorney.
Another question which arose was as to the advantage of combining
In the same bond issue funds for a municipal auditorium and a city
hall. Upon further investigation and checking wi th the home office
In Montgomery, I find apparently no provision for excluding city
hall or auditor,um from the constitutional debt limit, such as is
the case with schools, water, paving and sewers. However, it Is
frequently the practice, from a pract cal standpoint, that a city
hall and auditorium be combined in the same issue and have the
project for the buildings carried out at the same time.
Agatn, many thanks for your consideration of my firm to act as
Fiscal Agent.
Yours cordially,
Vice Pres., Area Manager
Wi I Ilam B Crane/dsc
