Cemetery digger asks Manheim to raise per-burial fee to $500
Summary
Cemetery contractor Dave Millington asked the board to increase his digging fee from $450 to $500 per burial. The board recorded the request during cemetery business and then adjourned; no vote on the fee increase is recorded in the minutes.
The cemetery report noted that all burial plots from the books have been entered into the town computer records. Contractor Dave Millington told the board he would like a $50 increase in the fee he charges to dig graves, saying he currently receives $450 and "would like to get $500 per burial." The minutes record the request but do not show a motion or vote to change the fee.
Superintendent Lloyd Hall also reported routine operational items earlier in the meeting, including an annual Beaver Brook Dam inspection and a repair to the main circulation pump in the garage furnace by Brian Mosher. The board then handled new-business scheduling items — the bookkeeper filed for an AFR extension and the Court Clerk audit was scheduled for April 20, 2026 — and adjourned at 8:00 p.m. on a motion by Councilman Frederick Doerrer, seconded by Councilman Kevin Snell.
The minutes do not indicate that the board took action on Millington's requested fee increase; the request was recorded for consideration in cemetery business.
