CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS MEETING OF MAY 3, 2002
PRESENT: Herman E. Hasenjager, Robert E. Pease, Julian E. Szarlan, Paul B. Lovell, John R. Nothe, and Gaylin Bingle.
Al Wilcox also attended this meeting.
OLD BUSINESS:
Bench From Country Memorials – John spoke to Don Boucier telling him of the Commissioners approval, for the bench he is donating, to be placed in the little garden on the knoll. Mr. Hasenjager and Mr. Szarlan thought this was a nice donation as they felt the granite bench would last for many years without any maintenance required. Mr. Pease was opposed to having the bench inscribed “in memory of Mr. Boucier’s wife”, as he felt people who saw this would want to do the same, and the cemetery would end up with items “in memory of” all over the cemetery.
Seasonal Help – Paul Mieltowski is working one day per week for 5 hours, Craig Nothe is working 5 hours a day for 5 days per week and Ronnie is back for 5 hours a day working 2 days a week until Memorial Day. Ronnie bought land in Florida and is planning on moving this summer.
NEW BUSINESS:
Finance Committee Meeting – Paul said there is a meeting coming up on Monday, May 13th, at 7:00 p.m. at the new High School on Margaret Street to see how much money the Cemetery Department will be given for the new Fiscal Year.
Copier Unrepairable – The copier isn’t working and can’t be repaired without calling in a repairman. Paul said the machine is old as the Water Department donated it to our department when they felt it wasn’t worth repairing. Our department did get three years out of the copier. A new copier costs between $400.00 and $500.00. The Commissioners agreed unanimously for Paul to purchase a new copier using his own discretion. Mr. Hasenjager made a motion to purchase a new copier; Mr. Pease seconded the motion.
Brake Pads for Truck – John replaced the front brake pads on the truck during one of the recent rainy days.
Mr. Hasenjager made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 9:35 a.m. Mr. Pease seconded the motion.
Respectfully Submitted,
Gaylin Bingle, Clerk
