Board member requests report on cemetery lawnmower costs, replacement and motor-pool arrangements
Summary
A Marshfield board member asked the Board of Public Works on March 1 to request a staff report detailing what cemetery operations pay into an equipment pool, replacement costs for mowers, the cemetery''s profit contribution to the general fund, and whether the mowers are part of the municipal motor pool or a separate cemetery pool.
At the March 1 Marshfield Board of Public Works meeting, a board member asked staff for a report on cemetery lawnmower funding and equipment arrangements.
The unnamed board member requested "the amount of money that they are paying into the pool, what the replacement cost would be to replace them, comparing that to the profit that the cemetery has and brings into the general fund," and also asked whether there is an agreement that allows those lawnmowers to be used by Parks & Recreation or whether they are maintained in a separate cemetery motor pool.
The request was made during regular agenda business; no formal vote or staff direction was recorded in the transcript. The transcript does not specify a deadline, format for the report, or which department will prepare it. Those details were not discussed and remain not specified in the record.
