Board accepts cemetery committee plan to trial treatments on smaller plots
Summary
The board accepted the cemetery committee's recommendation to test smaller trial plots with different maintenance/treatment approaches; manager will notify families and the committee will proceed with cost-effective trials.
The board accepted a recommendation from the cemetery committee to divide the cemetery into smaller trial plots and apply multiple treatments and investments to find the most effective maintenance approach.
The manager said he had prepared a memo tracing the issue back to May 28 and described the committee's recommendation to test several treatments in sample plots. A draft step-wise proposal from a committee member (Kathy) was included in the meeting materials and will guide the trials.
Board action: A motion and second were recorded to accept the cemetery committee's recommendation so the manager could communicate the town's approach to families and begin cost-effective trials. No formal budget allocation was reported in the public discussion.
What happens next: The cemetery committee will proceed with trial plots, and the manager will inform affected families about the plan and next steps.
