[MEETING OF GROUND COMMITTEE
HELD AT GOODISON PARK
MONDAY, 28TH MARCH 1960]
Present:- Mr. J. C. Sharp (Chair) and Mr. C. E. Balmforth,
Mr. J. Taylor was absent, and tendered his
apologies.
The Committee having examined the proposed contract
between En Tout Cas Co. Ltd., and the Everton Football Club,
make the following recommendations.
1. The Committee consider the wording of the Contract is in
keeping with the general principles agreed upon during
consultations with the En Tout Cas Co. and Mr. Prior
of Suttons, but is of the opinion that before the work
commences on May 2nd that full details of the exact
procedure to be adopted should be in the Club's possession,
further it is recommended that the proposed Contract be
passed to the Chairman of the Finance Committee, Mr.
Holland Hughes, for his considered opinion as to the legal
and financial aspect.
2. Notwithstanding the fact that the proposed Contract is
prepared upon a cost plus basis the Committee feel that
the inclusion of a maximum figure of £4000 as originally
estimated should, if practicable, be embodied in the
Contract.
3. That receipt of the Contract be acknowledged and the En
Tout Cas Co. be informed that while appreciating the
urgency of finalising the matter, the Board need time
to examine the details
but it is fully expected that acceptance as the Contract
stands, or any other suggested amendments will be in
their hands early next week.
