Committee begins drafting by-laws: schedule, officers and record keeping outlined
Summary
Members began drafting by-laws that would be recommended to the Selectboard, proposing a March–November meeting schedule, officer roles including a Chair and Vice-Chair, and creation of a Secretary and a Record Keeper to handle deeds and records.
The Newbury Cemetery Committee opened detailed discussion of draft by-laws at its March 4 meeting. Members proposed that "Meetings for the Newbury Cemetery committee will be the first Wednesday of the month at 6:00 PM," running March through November, with no meetings in December, January or February. The by-laws are intended as recommendations for the Selectboard to adopt.
Committee members discussed internal officer structure: the draft specifies a Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson who would continue in those roles until they choose to step down and calls for a Secretary to be elected by members. Mary Collins suggested establishing a dedicated "Record Keeper" to manage deeds and other cemetery paperwork; the committee agreed to add clarifying language and to continue the by-laws discussion at the next meeting.
