Cemetery committee approves transfer of 814 Maple Avenue lot to James P. Diskin

The Town of Concord Cemetery Committee voted to approve a family-requested transfer of a lot at 814 Maple Avenue to James P. Diskin.

Committee members said the lot originally had been purchased by Thomas Diskin Jr. for his brother and sister-in-law when they were not residents; because James P. Diskin is a former Concord resident, the family requested the transfer. A motion to accept the existing family application was made and seconded and carried on a roll-call vote: Bridal Davidson — aye; Jerry Soucy — aye; Priscilla Sturgis — aye; Bridgette Rodriguez — aye. The motion passed.

The committee did not record the name of the member who moved the motion in the transcript. Bridgette Rodriguez registered the second. No abstentions or no votes were recorded.

The transfer was discussed during the committee meeting held March 5, 2025, conducted in a hybrid format under a Massachusetts executive order permitting modifications to the Open Meeting Law. The committee did not attach additional conditions to the transfer in the recorded proceedings.

The committee continued with its agenda after the vote; no further action on the transfer was taken at the meeting.
