Peter asked what town counsel told Paul Griffin on this matter? <br /> Town Counsel told Paul the Committee should pay the plumber $16 , 00 , put the <br /> remainder in escrow and pay the certified value on the requisition to <br /> Stone . <br /> Janice explained that she does not want her signature on that payment. She <br /> wants to see what Stone owes us in work. <br /> Peter said we will be hurting ourselves down the road by not paying them. <br /> Janice said this Committee wants a special meeting with the Selectmen and <br /> town counsel so we can hear it ourselves (to pay Stone ) . <br /> Peter feels we are shooting ourselves in the foot by not giving them the <br /> cash to get the job done . <br /> Janice asked if we give them the money, will they get the job done? <br /> Joe said there is the prevailing wage issue as well . <br /> Janice suggested having a special meeting with the Selectmen before .their <br /> scheduled meeting on Monday so there will be no delay because they have to <br /> approve the payment at their meeting anyway. <br /> Peter said he would like the town to take care of the rest of the punchlist <br /> items ourselves .
