Mr. Blauss suggested just cutting services with Attorney Peloquin now. Mrs. FitzGerald-Kemmett requested Mr. McCue work with the firms on a transition period to be determined by the law firms. Mrs. Marini suggested that Attorney Peloquin complete the work he is doing and the new labor counsel could pick up any new matters. The firms will work out the transition period. The new counsel's appointment could be effective January 1, 2019 and will start any new matters, subject to contingencies with current labor counsel.
