Town of Warwick
Cemetery Commission
October 13, 2010 Meeting Minutes
Town Hall

Meeting was called to order at 2:00 PM by chair Jeff Joyce.
Present were Jim Toth, Jeff Joyce, Ed Hawes and Highway Superintendent,
Tim Kilhart.
Meeting was adjourned and reconvened at the cemetery
Tree and brush cutting to the rear of the main entrance road was
discussed. It was moved by Toth and seconded by Joyce that the
commission request the highway department to cut and chip the brush and
trees beyond the west end of the main entrance road. The area to be cut
is about 50' wide by 150' deep. Highway to cut and chip with the chips
being left in piles to be raked out as mulch by the cemetery at a later
date. Fire wood to be left on site in 4' lengths. Toth to notify the
Aldens as abutters as a courtesy. Voted all in favor. Kilhart stated
that the work might commence in about three weeks if conditions are
favorable but could be postponed if conflicts arise. The purpose of the
cutting is to open up the area that eventually may be used as an
extension of the main entrance road to service section 8. By opening the
area now, it will potentially save us the more extensive work later by
cutting the smaller trees before they get much larger and letting the
stumps soften for later removal. Those present reviewed the westerly
property line of the cemetery with Toth highlighting corner locations
recovered a few years ago.
Meeting was adjourned and reconvened at the town hall with all but
Kilhart present.
Minutes of September 1, 2010 were reviewed and accepted as written with
Joyce moving the minutes and Hawes seconding and all in favor.
Bills:
Power bill for period ending 7/29/2010 was noted to be missing by the
accountant with the request that we contact National Grid to obtain
copy. Toth to pursue. No bills received relative to any previous burials
or recent mowing
Burials: 
Phyllis Webster cremains were buried on 10/1/2010 in Section 7 Lot 116.
Burial was immediately west of her head stone which is near the center
of the east line of the lot. Received check for $50 from her daughter
for marking grave. Family did digging at no cost. Documents filed with
the Town Clerk.
Records:
11x17 maps of the cemetery with detail sheets dated 10/13/2010 were
distributed and discussed
Burial database still incomplete but hopefully will be ready for
printing and distribution at November meeting.
Annual report is being drafted but not yet complete. Completed version
will be distributed for comment when ready and then submitted to Pat
Lemon per her request. Accountant has given us requested income and
expense reports and Toth is in the process of reviewing for inclusion in
the annual report.
Operations: 
Grass has quit growing for the season and we are awaiting the trees to
drop all of their leaves. Jeff will windrow leaves along the front for
Brian Miner to pick up if weather permits.
Jeff will coordinate removal and storage of the pump along with keeping
the leathers soaking over winter to keep them from drying up and needing
to be replaced. Jeff noted that leathers and pump are still readily
available at the Farmers Coop.
Next meeting set for 2 PM on 11/23/2010 at town hall
Meeting adjourned at 3:30 PM
