Summary
Cemetery sexton Jack Peck told the board the cemetery recorded 75 deaths last year — lower than normal — and described tree removals and replacement of a main valve and drain valves.
Jack Peck, the cemetery sexton, gave a brief operational update to the Cemetery Board on Jan. 8, saying the cemetery recorded 75 deaths last year and describing maintenance work completed in 2024.
"We did have a total of 75 deaths last year. It's actually lower than normal," Peck said. He reported the cemetery lost several trees and had to remove dead limbs and trim trees. Peck also said staff replaced a main valve and several drain valves during the year.
Peck summarized the remaining routine work as "pretty standard" and invited questions; none were recorded. The board took no formal action on the updates; the items were provided for the record and operational awareness.
The board moved on to administrative matters after the update.
