Bill Keyser

Keyser spoke to Thompson regarding some dead trees by his home on Maple Street. Keyser is concerned and would like to prevent a tragedy from happening. If the trees are not taken down, a serious tragedy could occur. Keyser is not sure if the trees are on his neighbor’s property or on the Town’s right of way.

Thompson indicated a tree professional is needed to take down the trees. Roy will draft a letter to Keyser’s neighbor indicating concerns of potential liability issues with those dead trees if not taken down.

Keyser, a member of the Cemetery Trustees, wanted to follow up on the work left unfinished at the Proctor Cemetery. Keyser indicated the person hired needs to go back and clean up and finish the job before a check is issued for payment.

Keyser was concerned about the cost of the road improvement in the cemetery that was several thousand dollars over the proposal. Thompson explained that the extra work was needed at the time to do the job correctly.

The proposal was for $2,944, but the total bill after doing the extra work was approximately $7,000.00. Thompson noted that the Cemetery Trustees will only be responsible for the $2,944, and the Road Agent will absorb the balance.

Keyser was concerned with the cemetery budget having enough funds to have the hedges cut and trimmed this year. They budgeted $550. Thompson indicated that Joe Poulin at one time quoted $500 to do this job.

Thompson will follow up and talk with Poulin and have him give a written quote. Then Thompson will get the quote to Keyser, who will then have the other two Cemetery Trustees review the quote.
