Review of Past Meeting Minutes
The Minutes of March 4, 2003 were reviewed and approved on a motion by Daniel Driscoll and
seconded by Roc O'Connell.
General Business
Bob Keating explained that the FY2004 budget was approved by FINCOM with the $10,000 to
offset benefits as voted and not the $15,000 as shown.
On a motion by Roc O'Connell, seconded by Steve Meehan, the Trustees voted 6-0 to increase
the price of lots and other charges - effective July 1, 2003. (Please include new price sheet in
records)
On a motion by Bill Brown, seconded by Roc O'Connell, the Trustees voted 6-0 to change the
Sale of Lots/Bequest to 70/30 split; up from the present 60/40 - effective July 1, 2003. This
allows funeral directors time to adjust to new rates,
Bob Keating noted the April 1st deadline for removal of winter decorations, this allows for
spring clean-up.
Receipts
Receipts are down 10-15 percent, but are on track for the year to date,
