Cemetery Commissioner Cathy Tudhope presented requests including $6,000 for mowing, $990 for commissioner stipends, and $4,000 for plot upkeep and said she will provide current account balances before the Selectboard finalizes funding.
Cemetery Commissioner Cathy Tudhope appeared before the Selectboard on Jan. 15 to review the Cemetery Commission's appropriation requests. Tudhope itemized $6,000 for mowing expenses, $990 to cover Cemetery Commissioner stipends, and $4,000 for plot upkeep. She told the board she is reconciling the commission's bank accounts and will provide the current checking balance and the amount held in a certificate of deposit to the Selectboard in the coming days; those balances will be considered before approving cemetery funding.
Selectboard members asked staff to incorporate the commission's account information into budget deliberations so the board can weigh town contribution against the commission's available reserves. No final funding decisions were recorded at the meeting.
