There were 66 cremations in March.
Resolution#1 was adopted by the Cemetery Commission authorizing and ratifying timber sales
agreement between Town of Queensbury Cemetery Commission&Emerson Walker and Rejean
Pourlu.
Tim Brunelle is back to work with no restrictions.
Rodney has received numerous calls for Vault rental extending into July due to the new National
Cemetery in Saratoga. Because of the many problems involved with the warm weather we will
not be able to accommodate these requests. There are presently five bodies in the Vault.
Money from the sale of logs and the pending sale of the property to Northway Plaza will be
placed in a special account for the development of property in Pine View Cemetery.
Chris Sennett and Josh Lopez have both applied for the summer positions. They worked these
positions last summer and Rod reported they did an excellent job. They basically worked the
outside cemeteries and were under Rod's supervision. The Commission is in favor of rehiring
them.
A survey is being done of the cemetery property for the tentative sale to Northway Plaza
Spring cleanup is progressing quickly. The winter graves are being prepared for sod and the goal
is to have them completed by Memorial Day. Winter staking is completed.
There was a brief discussion about raising rates. Rod will be checking into local cemetery fees.
