Town delays payment for survey to move burial plot boundary at Mountain View Cemetery
Summary
A proposed property-line adjustment to correct a burial plot found on private land will await a survey and funding decision; town discussed Cardinal Survey estimate and holding action until a representative attends.
Select board members discussed an estimate from Cardinal Survey to perform a property-line adjustment between Mountain View Cemetery and the Mead family after it was discovered that one burial plot appears on the Meads' property. The board did not approve payment at the meeting and said it would hold the item until a town representative could attend.
A select board member said the estimate from Cardinal Survey would be used to adjust the property line "because it was determined that one of the burial plots is actually on the Meads' property." The item had been discussed at a previous meeting where funding had not been identified; at this meeting the board again declined to authorize payment without clarity on where funds would come from and whether a representative (referred to as "JoJo") would be present.
The board left the matter pending; no formal motion to accept the estimate or to allocate funds was recorded. Town officials said the surveyor would adjust the property line if the board approves the estimate and funding at a later meeting.
