Kitzman discussed Capital Improvement Plans for the City of Lenox. The City received 2 quotes for these plans, DCI Group for $22,500 and ISG for $25,500. Both companies have attended council meetings and presented their proposals to the Council. Custer appreciated the time that DCI Group has spent in town, as they have looked at all the city- owned buildings, while Adams added that ISG employs a former City Administrator, which is beneficial to the City. Bowman discussed his concern of ISG wanting to get involved in many aspects of the City that may be unnecessary; however, they have worked with smaller communities and understand the funds of a small city. Vogel liked the presentation given by ISG. It was the consensus of the Council that either group would give the City what they needed as far as a building plan. Custer made a motion to approve the Capital Improvement Plan with DCI Group in amount of $22,500 seconded by Adams. Roll call votes - all ayes, motion carried.

Borland made a motion to approve J&N Stephens, LLC to place tin the south wall of City Hall in the amount of $12,800, seconded by Vogel, all aye, motion carried. It is the decision of the Council to put a darker tin on the wall, rather than white and remove the windows, which was in the original estimate.

Adams moved to adjourn the meeting, Custer seconded, all ayes, motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:00 P.M.
