Monson Cemetery Commission
Thursday, June 2, 2010
The monthly meeting of the Cemetery Commission opened at 6:10pm in the office at 32 Wilbraham Road. Commissioners present were: Jim Duggan, Al Wilcox and Jim Metzger. Also present was Paul Lovell, Superintendent. Minutes of the May 6, 2010 meeting were read and approved as presented.
OLD BUSINESS:
The wall was again discussed and was in process of being completed.
Everything else on the plate was status quo as we are waiting to hear from Norcross on grant and information on computer system/hardware is still being digested by Commissioners.
Paul was busy getting the cemeteries ready for the Memorial Day holiday.
NEW BUSINESS:
The Open Meeting Law has changed and Jim copies some articles and distributed them to the Commission for review and asked Paul if Nancy Morrell has said or given any indication on how the changes would affect our postings and such. Paul was asked to see Nancy and get any information she may have for us and to see if we need to do anything differently to be in compliance.
Jim brought up and Paul had on his list, the Cemetery located at Bethany Road and the neighbors on Pine Street that abut the cemetery. It seems that the new owners think that their backyard goes much further back than it does. Paul said he has spoken to them about planting of some trees and such. We need to look into this and created a letter to send to them informing them they are basically trespassing on sacred burial grounds and need to abide by their property boundary lines. We will discuss this further at our next meeting as we need to research the bounds and other information before we proceed.
Meeting was adjourned at 6:55pm
Next meeting is Thursday, July 1, 2010, at 6pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
James Duggan, Clerk
