Selectboard increases recreation funding, allocates $7,000 to cemetery upkeep
Summary
The board set a $7,000 appropriation for the Cemetery Commission and raised Recreation Department support to $4,000, including discussion of an adaptive swing and future grant efforts.
The Selectboard allocated $7,000 to the Cemetery Commission for 2025, dividing the appropriation into $6,000 for mowing and $1,000 for upkeep. The change appears intended to secure contracted maintenance and routine care for town burial grounds.
The board also raised the Recreation Department appropriation to $4,000. Member Mary-Catherine Graziano urged somewhat higher funding to help include an adaptive swing among planned improvements; the Recreation Department will pursue grants and fundraising and may receive staff support for special projects. Isle La Motte Community Organization requested $500 for Green-Up Day trash disposal; the board approved that allocation as well.
