Brooks Library to add $10 fee for notarized cemetery deed copies; staff to review procedures for vacant lots
Summary
Library staff told the council on Sept. 16 they will add a $10 fee for notarized copies of cemetery deeds requested by nursing homes and will investigate procedures for handling lots when the original purchaser is deceased; policy language will be posted to the library website.
Brooks Library staff at the Sept. 16 council meeting reported plans to update cemetery policies to add a small fee for notarized deed copies and to clarify procedures for handling cemetery lots when the original purchaser is deceased.
K. Bradley said the library is "good and steady" and is working with Manager M. Ungaro to update cemetery policy language to include a $10 fee for notarized copies of deeds that are requested by nursing homes. Bradley said staff also will investigate how to handle lots when the original purchaser has died and that information about the notarization fee will be added to the library website.
The change is presented as an administrative update to the library’s cemetery practices; council discussion on the item was limited, and no formal vote was recorded during the meeting.
Library and town staff will return with proposed policy language and any recommended administrative procedures for council consideration if formal adoption is required.
