O'Connell.
Receipts
Receipts were reviewed and approved.
General Business
Wood End was reviewed. A letter from the tax collector noted taking of land for taxes due. The
Board of Selectmen must transfer to Cemetery. Still unsure if all paperwork (deed's) is done so that
the trustees have a clear deed and title to all parcels.
Reviewed flower theft issue, Bob Keating stated it seemed to be down. This is a problem in many
cemeteries even with 24 hour security.
Reviewed the FY2002 budget, fuel expenses are up. So far, the $25,000 approved last year has not
been asked for. Bob Keating explained that the fees on the budget summary are interment charges,
etc. The Board voted 5-0 to approve $125,000 from fees and $104,167 from bequests. One more
payment of $55,000 for Wood End.
