Champlain approves Pine Haven Cemetery restoration work within $6,000 budget line
Summary
The town approved cemetery restoration work at Pine Haven Cemetery, deleting one item from the contractor’s list so the project remains within a $6,000 budgeted line item; board discussed staffing and scheduling logistics with the contractor.
The Town of Champlain on June 10 approved restoration work at Pine Haven Cemetery while removing one item from the contractor’s list so the work would remain within the $6,000 budget allocation.
Officials reviewed photographs and a contractor’s quote for multiple headstone restorations and re‑setting work. The contractor said it was difficult to price each stone individually from photos; town staff and the contractor instead provided a consolidated price for the selected set of monuments. The board decided to delete item number 2 from the contractor’s proposal so the total cost would stay within the $6,000 line item.
Board members discussed using a town employee to assist the contractor with tasks such as setting stones and placing crushed stone for foundations to reduce contractor hours and costs. The contractor will work with town staff; the board noted the timeline may extend into late June or beyond depending on the contractor’s availability and other projects. The board authorized the work with the deletion of the item and directed the town to coordinate scheduling and materials.
