<br /> D. O'Connell was absent as he is on vacation. Town Counsel Joseph J, Reardon

<br /> 1:00 P.M. - Dr, Nicholson and Mr, Beccia were here to discuss the problem of the two
<br /> gas stoves that are at the school, which were purchased by the Town of
<br /> Sandwich when the new school in Mashpee was being built. Dr. Nicholson
<br /> said he is only acting as the communication person between the Selectmen
<br /> of Sandwich and the Selectmen of Mashpee. The original price of the stoves
<br /> was $440.00, Chm. Thomas feels we should buy the stoves. , Executive Secretary
<br /> said the Building Fund Package is closed but it might be a way of funding
<br /> to pay for the stoves, Sel. Garland feels that we should give the stoves
<br /> back as there seems to be something wrong when someone orders gas stoves
<br /> for an all electric school, Chm. Thomas asked if the price could be ne-
<br /> gotiated. Discussion followed on what department would be responsible
<br /> for paying for the stoves, Dr. Nicholson feels the cost should not come
<br /> from the school budget, The Board agreed. Mr. Beccia explained that there
<br /> could be a problem with an audit if the money was taken from the Building
<br /> Fund, Sel, Garland stated that stoves usually have a lifetime of ten
<br /> years and he figured that where the stoves have been used and there are
<br /> no records on these stoves that the cost should not be more than $160.00,
<br /> Chm, Thomas, suggests Dr. Nicholson negotiate for a price of $180,00 to
<br /> $200.00 for both stoves, but no more than that, Chm, Thomas feels cost
<br /> should be taken care of out of the Building Fund if Town Counsel feels
<br /> it is proper to take it from there. Dr. Nicholson will get back to the
<br /> Board with the Sandwich-Selectmen's decision. Board thanked Dr. Nicholson
<br /> and Mr. Beccia for coming.

<br /> as the representative for the Town of Mashpee with the Cape Cod Joint Transportation
<br /> Commission and the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority, Seconded by Chm, Thomas.
<br /> This was a vote,
<br /> 1:15 p,m, - Board interviewed Ms. Wendy Servis for the Dog Officer/Natural Resources
<br /> Officer position, Chm. Thomas asked Ms. Servis why she felt she could cope
<br /> with this job, as her application did not mention anything relating to
<br /> experience in this field, Ms. Servis replied that she grew up with animals
<br /> and worked at a kennel for three months, Chm. Thomas explained that this
<br /> is an official position and Ms. Servis would have to know the general laws
<br /> and some of the things concerning the Natural Resources office,Chm. Thomas
<br /> asked if she could deal with people. Ms. Servis replied she is not easily
