Cemetery commission to request carryover, tables stone-cleaning until member present
Summary
Commissioners agreed to draft a letter to the Town Manager and Treasurer requesting carryover of unused budget funds to complete the lower-fence replacement, decided to table stone-cleaning until member Daphne can attend, and reviewed maintenance tasks including raising grass markers and straightening stones.
Following the trustees' approval of the $17,893 distribution, the commission discussed remaining budget matters and maintenance tasks. Commissioner Susan Lyons moved that a letter be typed to the Town Manager and Treasurer requesting that any funds not used in the current budget be carried over to complete the fence replacement project; Matt Walker seconded and the motion carried. The motion was recorded as part of the meeting's follow-up steps.
The commission tabled further discussion of cleaning additional headstones until member Daphne can attend a future meeting. Commissioners noted outstanding maintenance: raising and cleaning grass markers (to be flagged for work as John P. had done in the past), straightening or replacing stones in East Hill and West Hill (previously raised by Joe and Daphne), and that Peter had completed paperwork to set traps in the Village Cemetery. The meeting adjourned at 7:50 P.M.; the next meeting is scheduled for July 23, 2026.
