Trustees approve July minutes, flag low maintenance spending and a $600 flags invoice
Summary
Brentwood cemetery trustees approved the July 9 minutes, noted only about $48.48 spent from the maintenance account through July, and heard a trustee report of a roughly $600 invoice for flags and rising costs for corner markers.
The cemetery trustees approved the July 9 minutes after a motion and second; the chair then led a review of the budget through July.
The chair summarized early items and the budget: "We've already signed the light bill. We've signed 2 deeds, and we're just going to review the current budget." Trustees noted maintenance spending remained minimal — the chair pointed to roughly $48.48 spent through August — while one trustee said they had submitted an invoice for about $600 for flags. A committee member warned that corner-marker prices rose after a vendor ownership change and suggested a bulk purchase with nearby municipalities to lower costs.
Trustees agreed to follow up on invoice description practices (to make vendor and purpose clearer in accounting records) and to monitor maintenance outlays as the summer ends. The motion to accept the July 9 minutes was moved and seconded and carried on an affirmative voice vote.
