Council authorizes RFQ to repair Pleasant Green Cemetery pillars
Summary
Mayor sought council approval to solicit quotes to repair and cap the cemetery pillars using some original stone; council authorized an RFQ with preliminary cost estimates of $21,000–$23,000 to be funded from the cemetery's account.
Mayor Sudbury asked the council to authorize an RFQ to repair Pleasant Green Cemetery's entrance pillars, proposing to reuse existing rock where possible and to place new 4x4 caps and a restored sign reading "Pleasant Green Cemetery." The mayor said the job was estimated at roughly $21,000–$23,000 and would come from the cemetery fund; councilmembers asked staff to confirm pillar stability and structural requirements before final award.
Council voted to allow staff to solicit bids and return with final pricing and design details. One council member noted the cemetery has "a hundred plus thousand dollars" in its account and said the city should use cemetery funds for the repair, while staff will also pursue donated labor/material offers to reduce costs.
