Cemetery trustees request higher sexton stipend, new mapping software
Summary
Cemetery Trustee Hinsley presented a proposed budget that seeks an increase to the sexton stipend—attributed to added responsibilities coordinating contractors and families—and budget for cemetery mapping software; no dollar amounts for the stipend were specified.
Mr. Hinsley presented the Cemetery Trustees’ proposed budget and explained that trustees have outsourced some duties to outside companies to avoid equipment purchases. He said that outsourcing has saved money but that the Sexton now carries more responsibility coordinating companies and supporting families, and the trustees are requesting an increase to the Sexton stipend to recognize that work.
Hinsley also noted a planned purchase of new cemetery mapping software, which contributes to the requested budget increase. The minutes emphasize the Sexton’s hands-on role in supporting grieving families and coordinating contractors but do not list a specific stipend amount or a software vendor or price.
The committee heard the presentation; the minutes do not record a vote or a formal decision on the trustees’ request.
