Minutes BOS Meeting 1/6/82 Page 3 . Chief Gould said he will roll -the ambulance with two men during the day when he is there , and he always goes himself. . If an engine is needed, , he will call for it. It is a differ- ent story at night, he pointed out. But following this policy will cut down on the overtime, as it necessitates fewer call- backs. Chm.

BRUCE CADMAN - GENERAL CODE PUBLISHERS Mr. Cadman, a Sales Representative for General Code Publishers handed out booklets to the Selectmen, and showed them samples of the work his company does in codifying and publishing regula- tions and by-laws for towns.

He pointed out that their contract would include: 1) Research of records; 2) Substantiating records and how they were promulgated; 3) Check against statutes-and case laws; 4) Send a report containing an analysis of the Town' s legislation. At this point, they would wait for directions from the Town. Sel . Thomas asked, since he had been peeking at our records , how did he feel 'they were? " Mr. Cadman responded, "no different from most towns" , and pointed out that most of our records are complete. Sel . Thomas then asked if he had any idea of the cost of doing this for Mashpee? Mr. . Cadman responded that it would cost be- tween $5 , 000 and $6 ,500 , payable over two years. The project would take a year to complete. If the Town elects to pay for it over the two year plan, they don' t get the finished product for two years. Mr. Cadman pointed out that this really relates to all departments: Board of Health, Planning Board, General By-Laws , Personnel Board, etc. If it involves more departmentsthanthat, it would cost " slightly more.
