Cushing selectmen discuss veterans memorial and defer copier setup pending technician check
Summary
Selectmen discussed installing a granite veterans memorial by the flagpole and asked a selectman to consult the VFW; they also deferred setting up a donated copier after a Ricoh technician cited a $184/hour service rate and an uncertain repair cost.
Town Clerk Lisa Young told the Board of Selectmen that a resident suggested the town does not have a memorial for veterans and proposed placing one by the flagpole. Chairman Alton Grover noted an earlier wooden sign that disintegrated and proposed a granite memorial with an inscription thanking veterans; Selectman Daniel Staples agreed to contact Gene Grant of the VFW in Friendship for guidance or to invite him to the next meeting.
Separately, Lisa Young reported she contacted Ricoh about setting up and servicing a donated copier. The technician said the machine had not been serviced in eight months and mentioned a $184 per hour service rate; the technician estimated total cost could be roughly $450–$500 depending on condition. The board directed Lisa to ask the technician when the hourly rate begins and whether the technician could perform a quick check before the town authorizes setup; Selectman Laurie Haynes moved and Selectman Daniel Staples seconded tabling the setup pending that information (carried 5‑0‑0).
The minutes record no citizen comments and the meeting adjourned at 7:15 P.M.
