Commission reviews tornado damage, leaning trees and woodchuck burrows in town cemeteries
Summary
After a tornado the prior week, commissioners reported limbs, leaning trees and a sinking grass marker from a woodchuck hole; the commission discussed tree removal, raising the marker, and obtaining trapping estimates before acting.
Susan Lyons reported inspecting East Hill after last Thursday’s tornado and told the commission there were limbs down, some trees leaning that would need to be cut, and a grass marker sinking into a woodchuck hole that needs raising. Commissioners discussed animal burrow activity in Village and East Hill and agreed to obtain price estimates for trapping and repairs before deciding.
Joe Mangan said he had observed multiple new holes in the Village Cemetery and expected to have general cleanup done next week when he opens gates. The commission agreed to review past expenditures and table any trapping or major tree work until budget figures and contractor quotes are available.
