Summary

The commission voted to accept Peter's nuisance-trapping proposal (set fee $30 per cemetery; $65 per groundhog) and instructed Susan Lyons to finalize paperwork; service will begin after June 1 due to the trapper's knee surgery.

During public business the commission reviewed a nuisance-trapping proposal for removal of groundhogs and accepted the contractor's rates and terms. Commissioners voted to accept the proposal after Susan Lyons relayed that the trapper would charge "$30.00 per cemetery and $65.00/groundhog" and that he could not begin until June 1 because of recent knee surgery.

Commissioner Matt Walker moved to accept the proposal and Commissioner Daphne Herwig seconded; the motion passed unanimously. Susan Lyons said she would contact the trapper to complete paperwork and schedule the work once he is available.
