Cemetery Commission requests $7,000 in 2025 appropriations, board reviews funding sources
Summary
The Cemetery Commission asked for $7,000 in appropriations for 2025 — $6,000 earmarked for mowing — and the Selectboard noted commission reserves of about $19,000 in savings and $13,000 in checking.
Cemetery Commission representative Cathy Tudhope presented the Commission’s 2025 appropriation request totaling $7,000, with $6,000 designated for mowing. Tudhope told the board the Commission’s savings account holds about $19,000 and its checking account about $13,000; the savings balance has been primarily funded by commissioners’ forfeited stipends.
The current landscaper has indicated they may not take the cemetery mowing contract this year. The Selectboard said it will approach the landscaping firm that maintains Town land to inquire whether that firm can assume the more labor-intensive cemetery work if the current vendor declines.
