Mr. Harrington remarked that he spoke to Tom Mayo, former Assistant Town Manager, regarding the change <br /> order and the contract. Mr. Mayo recommended to not grant the change order because the contract stated "no <br /> change orders". In Mr. Harrington's opinion he felt that additional money was added into Cape Cod Builders <br /> own contract regarding the appliances. Mr. Harrington changed his mind and recommended denying the <br /> change order. Also, Mr. Harrington wrote a great letter of recommendation for Cape Cod Builders, <br /> Lucy Burton made a motion that the Board of Health not approve the requested change order for Cape Cod <br /> Builders based on the language in the original contract. Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was <br /> unanimously approved. <br /> ADDITIONAL TOPICS <br /> None. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> 1.
