Summary

Town meeting participants asked to increase Union Cemetery support to $9,000 (from $8,500) and confirmed $1,000 for Riverside Cemetery; a presenter warned the town could become responsible if cemeteries fail.

Paul McCarty reported that Union Cemetery, a 23-acre site, requested an increase from $8,500 to $9,000 and cautioned that "if they go belly up the Town will have to take it over." The workshop record shows a board contribution of $9,000 for Union Cemetery and $1,000 for Riverside Cemetery.

The board discussed the funding requests as part of overall 2025 budget preparations. The amounts were entered as board contributions in the preliminary budget notes; the board did not record a separate roll-call vote for these amounts in the workshop minutes.
