Salisbury cemetery trustees set maintenance projects and order Memorial Day flags
Summary
At their April 15 meeting, Salisbury Cemetery Trustees approved prior minutes, scheduled cornerstone setting for the following Saturday, identified tree-cutting projects at Mills and Baptist cemeteries for the year, ordered Memorial Day flags and set the next meeting for May 20, 2026.
The Town of Salisbury Cemetery Trustees held a meeting April 15, 2026, in Academy Hall and called the session to order at 4:00 p.m. Trustee Chairman Geoffrey Hodges presided; Trustee Secretary Dora Rapalyea, Trustee Debbie Bartz and Sexton John Bentley were recorded as present. Visitor Dave Hostetler was listed in the minutes.
The trustees read and approved the Oct. 15, 2025, minutes. The minutes indicate the trustees then discussed old business, including scheduling a time to set cornerstones; the work was recorded as planned for "the following Saturday," with no specific calendar date provided.
Under new business, the trustees identified cutting trees at Mills Cemetery and Baptist Cemetery as one of the maintenance projects for the year. The minutes note the projects will be undertaken as part of the trustees’ annual maintenance work but do not list a contractor, timeline beyond the general plan, or funding details.
The minutes state that flags for Memorial Day have been ordered for the cemeteries; the quantity and cost of the flags were not specified. The trustees set their next meeting for May 20, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. and adjourned at 5:00 p.m. The minutes were signed "Respectfully Submitted" by Dora Rapalyea, Trustee Secretary.
No formal motions, vote tallies, or budget approvals are recorded in the minutes for these items; where the minutes note actions (for example, approval of prior minutes or ordering flags), the document does not name movers, seconders or recorded vote counts.
