[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.
