Commission notes higher stone‑cleaning price, discusses shed replacement and tree-removal quotes
Summary
Members were told Dirty Rock raised its stone‑cleaning price to $9.50 per stone; the commission discussed the deteriorated shed in the corner of the Village Cemetery, the need to remove several Black Locust trees, and asked Susan Lyons to solicit contractor quotes for tree removal.
Susan Lyons reported she contacted a vendor, Dirty Rock, and that their price to clean memorial stones has risen to $9.50 per stone owing to higher chemical costs; Orvil Lasell said he prefers to delay additional cleaning for now. The minutes record the vendor price increase and the commission’s decision to consider timing for any new cleaning work.
The shed in the corner of the cemetery was described by members as "in pretty bad shape," and the board discussed whether to remove or replace it. Orvil Lasell identified several Black Locust trees near the shed that should be removed and asked the group to obtain estimates; Susan Lyons said she would seek quotes from Snappy Turtle (Randolph), Montpelier Tree Works, and Catamount Tree Service. Joe Mangan noted two markers (for Lamberton and Robinson) are ready for pickup and reiterated that Joe’s Custom will be used for future corner posts, adding that the commission prefers not to use granite sourced from China.
