Council flags cemetery sprinkler system for capital replacement and grant search
Summary
Councilors raised repeated sprinkler failures at the town cemetery and agreed to add a full irrigation replacement to the capital improvements list and to explore grant funding and timing.
A council member raised a recurring operational issue: cemetery sprinklers are breaking frequently and the system appears to be approaching the end of its useful life. The member asked whether cemetery capital funds or other grant opportunities could be used to replace the whole sprinkler system rather than continuing piecemeal repairs.
Councilors agreed the item should be on the capital improvements list to support grant applications and to ensure the town could pay for a full replacement when needed. One member asked that staff project timing and put the sprinkler replacement into the capital plan so it can serve as match documentation for possible grants.
