Gentlemen:
In accordance with our agreement., concerning my status as
City Engineer for the City of Oswe . go, Oregon, as established by Reso-
lution and mutual understanding at a council meeting on the 3 March,
1949, certain rates and fee schedules were adopted as satisfactory
to both parties at that time.
Since then, almost three years, the cost of doing business has
materially increased,, approximately in an amount of 15 to 20 per cent.
In addition, the per cent of my time in attendanc.e,to council meetings,
without pay, related to the hours spent on cost plus projects has been
8.5% for 1949, 26% for 1950 and 47% for 1951#
in view of these facts, I propose to the Council for its con
sideration, a new fee schedule to be effective on the 1 March 1952,
which schedule is as follows:
(1) A flat hourly rate,, with nopercentagefor overhead, in the.a*mount
of Four ($4.00) Dollars -per hour for my time.
2) Other direct charges, such as blue printing., mimeographing, title
reports, etc., to be paid at actual cost.
(3) '*On payroll, other than myself, the actual hourly rate paid plus
15% to cover and compensate for taxes,, insurance, holidays, sick leave$
and vacations,
(4) A flat Jetining fee of Twe,t( Fiye,4 �,00her month, to cover
J
sun
_c r
attendance to,c cil meeting:?, arious an sun ry telephone calls, etc.,
with no.deduction to this fee regardless of quantity of,work during the
month.
An alternate to No. 4 above in that time at council meetings be
paid at the rate specified in No. 1 above.
Yoiirs,truly.,
(SGD) W. J. DORMER
