Resident says private contractor will remove deteriorating cemetery bridge at no cost; board asks for written proposal
Summary
A resident reported a rusting cemetery bridge and said a contractor offered to remove it for no cost; the board asked for a written proposal and voted to proceed pending receipt of the contractor's letter and insurance verification.
A resident told the board that a small bridge in a town cemetery is falling apart and that a contractor, identified in testimony as Sessler, offered to remove the structure at no cost. "No cost to us. They're gonna come in and take it down and take it away," the resident said, urging the board to accept a written proposal so crews could remove the dangerous structure quickly.
Board members agreed to request a formal letter from the contractor identifying scope and insurance coverage. The supervisor called a voice vote to proceed pending that documentation; the motion carried and staff asked the resident and contractor to email the written proposal to the town clerk for follow-up.
