South Thomaston select board tables cemetery appointment until July 14

A member of the South Thomaston select board moved to table consideration of "the appointment of the cemetery" until the board's next meeting on July 14 at 6:00 p.m., and a colleague seconded the motion. Committee member (mover) said, "I make a motion that we table till the next select board meeting which is July 14th at 6:00 here. Um the appointment of the cemetery." The motion received a second and brief clarification from other members before the presiding member asked, "All those in favor?" and then stated, "Without objection, we're hearing," indicating the board would take up the item at the July 14 meeting.

Why it matters: Tabling the item postpones any formal decision about who will handle or oversee cemetery matters and delays any immediate appointments or duties tied to that agenda item. Residents and interested parties who want the board to act on the appointment should plan to participate on July 14 at 6 p.m., when the item is scheduled to return.

What happened next: After the motion and brief discussion, a participant thanked others and the meeting moved on. The transcript does not specify the precise nature of the appointment (for example, whether it was to a cemetery committee, caretaker role, or other position), who the potential appointee(s) are, or which staff would implement any appointment; those details were "not specified."
