Review of Past Meeting Minutes
The minutes of May 9, 2022 were reviewed and approved by a vote of 4-0 on a motion by
Virginia Blodgett and seconded by Ron Stortz.
General Business
The Board discussed submitting a warrant article that would ban dogs from the Cemeteries. This
warrant article, if passed would allow the Police department to fine up to $300.00 per violation.
Current Cemetery Regulations does not allow for fines, and has been difficult to enforce. The
Board approved the warrant article and all signed. Bill will forward the article to the Town
Manager to be included with the next Town Meeting.
