was being used , it is a great building . Merry Sue said he is the only one who has handled this amount of money . Steve said Bill ' s lack of enthusiasm struck him.

Merry Sue liked his comment about being the eyes and ears of the committee. Steve said his time off will probably cost the project, his lack of familiarity with materials, practices etc. Paul said he did not have as much enthusiasm. - Paul McLaughlin . Merry Sue liked that he looked at the plans but noticed he does not have an up to date resume. The Committee asked Tom Wren his opinion . Tom said that he will be spending 50% of his time with this person . He has spoken to Paul McLaughlin a few times. Ian met with Jim Byrne at the pre-bid meeting. Tom said that Jim Byrne impressed him with his enthusiasm. He has had a lot of school experience over the last few years. Mr.Mclaughlin also has school experience but it has been some time . Jim conveys to Tom what a clerk is , a man who "speaks their language" . He thinks either Jim or Paul McLaughlin would be a good choice . Paul said he likes to see applicants hungry, hustlers, because they have to get the next job. Paul said the Committee ' s job is to give a recommendation to Chartwell since they are hiring them they have to be happy with them. Janice said the person chosen has to work well with Chartwell and have the respect of the architects . Ed does not think you can go wrong with either Jim or Paul McLaughlin. Enthusiasm get you somewhere but you have to have knowledge and know how to execute. It is worth a talk to the architects and owners of the projects they have worked on . Ed will talk with the architects of those jobs. The Committee will discuss it further and make a decision on Monday . Janice thinks it imperative to look into their references . Paul asked if Chartwell invited Jack Winn (Clerk for Middle school addition ) for an interview? Tom explained they had but he recently canceled , said he would be out of town and unavailable.
