Pleasant Street Cemetery stays on committee's radar; $10,000 gift earmarked for wrought‑iron repairs
Summary
Committee members agreed Pleasant Street Cemetery remains a maintenance priority and discussed obtaining an estimate; they also noted a $10,000 donation designated for wrought‑iron repairs in Union or North Cemetery and the challenge of finding specialists for that work.
Committee members flagged Pleasant Street Cemetery as a continuing maintenance need and emphasized the value of getting an outside estimate to scope and prioritize repairs after the wall project is complete. A committee member said the group should reestablish someone to arrange a cost estimate and start identifying when and how work could be scheduled.
The committee also discussed a $10,000 gift intended for wrought‑iron repairs in Union or North Cemetery; members noted the donor’s geographic restriction and the difficulty of finding tradespeople who do detailed wrought‑iron restoration. The committee agreed to look for contractor options and to walk the cemetery to identify specific wrought‑iron pieces that need work.
