The draft June 20, 2024, meeting minutes were presented. A motion to approve the minutes was made by Hazel Winter and seconded by Cameron Clark. The Commission unanimously approved the minutes.

There was no budget update for this meeting.

Drew Nelson reported regarding monument damage in Chittenden Cemetery, which will be included in the list of repairs.

The issue of a misplaced monument in Deer View Cemetery has been corrected.

A person who had expressed interest in using a natural landscape stone for a monument has cancelled their request. This situation highlighted the need to update the Cemetery Regulations to address similar future requests.

Nelson reported that from June 20, 2024, to the present, there have been five interments, and one interment is tentatively scheduled. Additionally, there have been two new lot sales.

The Commission will discuss plans for monument cleaning in Chittenden Cemetery at their next meeting.

Nelson reported on the Ground Penetrating Radar research conducted on June 12, 2024. No evidence of remains was found. However, an unidentified solid item was detected, which Nelson may explore further at some point.

Clark reported that she received the rest of the new flags from the Boy Scouts and placed them, and a bundle of flag holders, in the East Cemetery shed.

Nelson reported that miscellaneous brush piles in East Cemetery were removed and that a Williston police officer had investigated the area while he was there. Nelson also mentioned possible monument vandalism to the officer.

The agenda item to discuss a possible leave-of-absence request from a Commissioner was deferred because the Commissioner was not present.

The Commission’s next meeting will be held August 15, 2024, at 2:30 p.m. at the Annex Conference Room at the Town Annex Building, 7878 Williston Road, Williston, VT.

There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 3:05 p.m.


Respectfully Submitted,

Hazel Winter, Secretary
