Trustees prefer ordinance wording that removes fixed fees and will seek Select Board hearing
Summary
Chair Lynne Murray presented two wording options for the Canaan Cemetery ordinance; Select Board representative Scott Johnston favored removing precise fee amounts from the ordinance and referencing where fees are posted; trustees will request a public hearing before the Select Board.
The trustees considered revisions to the Canaan Cemetery ordinance and discussed two wording options for how fees are referenced in the ordinance. Select Board representative Scott Johnston said he preferred the option that "removes the precise fees entirely replacing it with a reference to where the fees can be found," a change previously proposed by Sadie Wells during an earlier Select Board meeting.
Chair Lynne A. Murray said she will ask Monica and Jack to place the trustees on the Select Board agenda to hold a public hearing on the proposed ordinance changes prior to a Select Board meeting. The trustees did not adopt final ordinance language at this meeting; they will pursue the public‑hearing step as the next procedural action.
