Board discusses town hall and cemetery mowing; may contract services
Summary
Select Board weighed options for mowing the town hall grounds and Mountain View Cemetery apron, including using the cemetery contractor to provide additional service this year to test costs and equipment suitability.
Board members discussed maintenance of the town hall grounds and the Mountain View Cemetery apron and whether the town should add mowing to existing contracts or hire separate vendors. One select board member said they had spent hours cleaning the site and urged the board to ensure the town-owned spaces look presentable when rented or used by the public.
Members noted the cemetery contractor already mows the cemetery and could potentially add visits to the town hall area for an additional fee; board members suggested trying the contractor this year to assess equipment capability and cost before placing a line item in next year’s budget. The board asked staff to explore contractor pricing and, if needed, include maintenance in the building-maintenance or cemetery budget next year.
