Select Board backs home-rule petition to establish board of cemetery commissioners
Summary
The Select Board voted to support an article—filed as a home-rule petition—to create a Board of Cemetery Commissioners to manage cemetery administration and remove that duty from the Select Board.
The Select Board voted Sept. 16 to support a home-rule petition creating a Board of Cemetery Commissioners. The article, recommended by the Department of Public Works superintendent, would create a specialized board to handle cemetery administration and associated sensitive issues, shifting that responsibility away from the Select Board. Board members said the change would allow a focused body to manage cemetery policy, stewardship, and operations. The board placed the article on the fall warrant for voter consideration.
