Draft Minutes of June 24, 2009

 

Present: All Trustees-

Dawn Tuomala

The minutes of May 27, 2009 and June 4, 2009 were accepted. 

·         Discussion Items

o        Trustees held a brief discussion on Green Burials.  Although the interest in offering a green burial option is strong, questions regarding required vaults still persist. Carl Michaud was invited to discuss this with the trustees but he was unable to attend. The Trustees agreed to table the discussion until Carl is available to discuss.

o        Dawn Tuomala presented a corrected map of Laurel Hill to address the lot inconsistencies.  The Trustees were thankful that Ms. Tuomala was able to make the necessary corrections to the lots without any adjustments to previously purchased rights to inter. She did identify the need to install markers to aid in future identification of lots.  The decision on who will install the markers was deferred until Brian can discuss with the Custodian of Cemeteries

o        Update on Mt. Calvary- Doreece has not received a new letter from the Diocese of Manchester to clarify who is eligible to be buried in Mt. Calvary.  She has also not received the draft agreement identified in the minutes of June 4 from Attorney Sullivan.

o        Policy for Installation of Flat Stones – After a brief discussion the Trustees agreed on the following fees for installation of flat stones:

§         Veterans stones – no fee

§         Purchased Flat stones installed by the Custodian of the Cemeteries $50.00

§         Purchased Flat stones installed by the monument company – no fee.

o        Trustees agreed that the Town website should direct any citizen interested in information on opening a grave lot to the Custodian of the Cemeteries.

o        Right to Inter documents were reviewed and updated

·         For the next meeting, Doreece and Maureen will conduct research into the cost of lots at various cemeteries in surrounding communities.

The next meeting will be Wednesday, July 29th, 2009, at the Town Hall Office at 7 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

Maureen Donovan
