Meeting Minutes
Historic Headstones - Mike updated the board on the process. Currently, 21 stones just completed - $4145 -
average $1 Wish a stone. Possibility of taking some headstones out to be restored at his shop over the winter.
Would just want a quoted price prior. Wondering if any grants are available.
Markina of Veterans - Would have to get updated technology. Would be a perfect project for the winter if
there was no snow on the ground and tech could be updated.
Review Reaulatlons - Town council said that we don't have any accountability to enforce any of our general
regulations - stone rubbing, etc
Does a town council member need to come to a meeting to help explain?
The dog proposal will go ahead, and the bylaw committee has approved it. Bill will speak at town meeting
