Trustees flag conflict between cemetery tree removal and paving; Select Board to meet

The Cemetery Trustees reported a potential scheduling conflict between a tree‑removal project at Fellows‑Webster Cemetery and a road paving project on Swiggey Brook Road. According to the minutes, the tree work is scheduled for Sept. 15–17, 2026, while the Road Agent’s paving is planned for the week of Sept. 8, 2026.

The minutes say the Select Board scheduled a meeting the following morning at 10:00 a.m. with contractor Accurate Tree (via telephone), Road Agent Joe McDaniels and Trustee Brenda Boswak to clarify whether operating heavy equipment on Swiggey Brook Road after new paving would damage the surface. Trustees also requested that a notice be posted on the town website announcing the temporary closure of Leavitt Cemetery Sept. 15–17, 2026. No vote or formal motion was recorded; the items were recorded as actions to be followed up.
