C mmission approval requested to authorize The Executive Director to execute a con - t act for ro essional services wit Baird Warner, Inc. in connection with the Cntury Mall Project. Mr. Ellison: Gentlemen, I am not sure I would like to pursue this matter today, birt I will discuss it in part, then the Commission can determine what the appropri- ate action will be. Included in you packet is a draft of a contract with Baird & Warner, Inc. that Mr. Butler and I have discussed, but because of the events of yesterday, and M% Butler's time, we were unable to arrive at any decisions with respect to language. I think I want to explain nonetheless the purpose of the contract and to indicate i s anticipated cost and its relationship to the Century Mall Project. I might add that there is a more recent draft of tie proposed contract which is a little e sier to rean than the one that you have. Mr. Nimtz: Baird & Warner is a very pro- fessional real estate firm in Chicago. I h vent had any contact with them for a ninber of years, but when Edison Park Housing Project was in difficulty at the end of the war they came in and assisted Bill Ogden a.id the Edison Park Board in getting that in shape along with the National Bank. I have had spasmodic contact with them through the years. I think they are mainly b sed in Chicago and Detroit; is that c rrect Mr. Ellison? . Ellison: Yes. 17 COMMISSION AP- PROVAL GRANTED FOR LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE DEPT.
