does not know yet what those findings will be until the report is <br /> completed. The actual design of the intersection will be the <br /> responsibility of the DPW. The Committee knows the intersection has to be <br /> changed. <br /> Greg said the traffic study must be completed first and then the full <br /> engineering of the intersection can be done. <br /> Steve would like the Committee to make a commitment to a public hearing on <br /> that issue, when the time is appropriate. <br /> Mr. Pelligrino wants to see whatever possible is done now. <br /> Peter said the best way to start is to make an appointment with Greg Taylor <br /> and start working it out and he can then give the Committee input as the <br /> process moves along. <br /> Peter told the Committee that he feels he will be unable to satisfactorily <br /> serve as Chairman of the Committee and as Selectmen , given the amount of <br /> work and time constraints. He does want to remain a member of the <br /> Committee. He feels the best way for the Committee to communicate with the <br /> Selectmen is to have a member on the Committee. <br /> He stated that Paul Griffin has taken on a lot of the work load. The <br /> project is moving into a different phase now - into construction. Peter' s <br /> expertise was in selling the project, not construction. The Committee <br /> would do well to tap into the expertise of Paul . <br /> Peter would like to step down as Chairman and make a motion that Paul <br /> Griffin become the new Chairman. <br /> Steve Greelish said he has some reservations. He does not dislike Paul , he <br /> is a very hard worker but in the past few months he has gotten the <br /> impression that a lot of the initial wishes of the Committee got culled out <br /> in the negotiating of the contracts and are now coming to the surface. The <br /> process is not as open as it should be. The total Committee needs more <br /> involvement in the decisions. He does not object to delegation of <br /> authority but it has to be tempered. Paul 's commercial background may be <br /> the basis of how he has been operating but with a municipal project he will <br /> be dealing with this differently than ever before. <br /> ** Peter withdrew his motion. <br /> ** Merry Sue made a motion to re-organize the Committee. Steve <br /> seconded the motion. All members were in favor.** <br /> ** Merry Sue made a motion to nominate Paul Griffin as Chairman. Joe <br /> seconded the motion. <br /> Paul responded to Steve's comments. He said he does not know of anything <br /> that is coming out to bite us now, as a result of the contract <br /> negotiations. He was only 1 person on that Committee along with Selectmen <br /> Vaccarro and Mills and Peter. He did not make all the decisions , but did <br /> ask the questions that needed to be asked . He is here only to try to do <br /> the best job for the school . <br /> Steve said if Paul made a commitment to keep this an open process, then he <br /> has his vote also. <br /> Paul said absolutely he will . He always puts all the cards on the table. <br /> Joe said the Committee is fortunate to have a construction manager from a <br /> major corporation. <br /> ** Vote to re-organize. All members in were in favor of the motion of <br /> Paul Griffin for Chairman.** <br /> 2 <br />
