Summary

Members flagged several damaged stones (including two Burrell stones and the Seivwright stone), noted discrepancies in a warrant for cleaning 80 stones/markers, and arranged follow-up with the contractor and photos for repairs.

Commission member Joe Mangan reported that he "picked up the two damaged stones and Joe's Custom is replacing them," and said he hopes to address a stone near the shed in the Village Cemetery. Commissioners documented additional stones needing attention in the upper section and noted photographs had been taken for assessment.

Susan Lyons raised a discrepancy in the warrant for cleaning 80 stones and raising/cleaning 80 grass markers, saying the counts did not match the stones cleaned in the first two rows; the commission decided to re-issue the warrant for clarity. Matt Walker reported the Seivwright stone had fallen off its base and that the base appeared tipped; he provided a photograph for follow up. Joe Mangan agreed to receive photos and coordinate repairs.
