Town of Mashpee —6— May 5, 1976 <br /> Recommendations: <br /> 1. The duties of the director of the Museum should be published in a <br /> detailed statement to be drawn up by The Board of Selectmen and should <br /> include but not be limited to: <br /> a. detailed instructions for handling of Museum funds. <br /> b. limitations on authority to expend funds. <br /> CO <br /> C. limitations of any Museum employee to use his official <br /> K ' capacity for other than Museum business. <br /> d. details of records to be maintained. <br /> 4; e. details of all other duties. <br /> tti <br /> 2. The Board of Selectmen should establish a ticket system •whereby it <br /> will be able to determine at regular intervals that funds collected <br /> at the Museum have been properly turned over to the Town Treasurer. <br /> This system should be independent of Museum personnel. <br /> 3. A meeting should be held with representatives of the "Friends of <br /> the Mashpee Indian Museum Inc." to clarify the relationship between the <br /> "Friends" and the Town regarding the collection of funds for the Museum. <br /> 4.
