Board authorizes Boltonville Cemetery transfer; considers water-line repair for Town House maintenance
Summary
Selectboard authorized the asset transfer of Boltonville Cemetery to the Town and discussed restoring a spring-fed water line under Scotch Hollow Road to support gravesite maintenance and Town House usability; a site visit and consultation with Greg Allen were planned to determine permit and water-rights responsibilities.
The Newbury Selectboard authorized the Chair to sign an Asset Transfer Agreement for Boltonville Cemetery after a motion by Selectboard member Shauna Prime, seconded by Andrew Lee. The Board also instructed that Chris Bruce’s mowing bill be forwarded to the Town for payment.
Cemetery Committee member Tammy Parker and resident Heather McClintock reported that the water supply from a spring to the Town House needs restoration to support gravesite maintenance and increase building usability.
