The presentation included examples of cemetery corporations in operation across the country and within Massachusetts, including Newton Cemetery. Board members acknowledged the significant effort put into the presentation and expressed interest in further investigation. Member Tom Alonzo stated the concept "certainly rises to a level of further investigation." The citizens' petition warrant article is already included in the Town Meeting warrant by virtue of having obtained sufficient signatures. The Select Board withheld a formal recommendation pending further review of the detailed warrant article language.  VII. APPOINTMENTS, RATIFICATIONS, AND RESIGNATIONS There were no appointments, ratifications, or resignations. VIII. TOWN MANAGER REPORT Town Manager Jennifer Warren-Dyment provided the following updates: Assessor's Cyclical Inspections: The Assessor's Office is preparing for state-mandated cyclical inspections, covering 1,500 parcels over three years, with 500 inspections commencing this year. A prior public notice caused community alarm; a revised, clarifying letter has been drafted. Properties selected will receive a blue postcard by mail. There is no requirement to admit inspectors, though refusal may result in assumptions being made about property condition. The inspector's vehicle was identified for public awareness. PEC Health Insurance Agreement: The agreement between the Public Employee Committee and the Town expires at the end of June. Preliminary discussions have begun and the matter will return to the Board in due course. FY26 Local Aid Budget Hearing: The Joint Committee on Ways and Means has scheduled a hearing on local aid for Monday, March 24 at 11:00 AM in Amherst, MA, also available via hybrid attendance. The Town Manager indicated her intent to attend in person. Residents were encouraged to submit written testimony to the House Committee on Ways and Means. Capital Planning Committee: The committee is scheduled to meet Thursday, March 20 for final review of the capital plan. Staff Events: Staff enjoyed a Saint Patrick's Day lunch at the Lunenburg Adult Activity Center. Thanks were extended to Director Deb Goodsell's staff and to Kathy Clark of Lunenburg Flowers for donating table centerpieces. Opioid Settlement Funds: The Town has accumulated just over $225,000 in opioid settlement funds with no current expenditure plan. The Town Manager is in early discussions with the Police and Fire Chiefs regarding the potential use of funds to hire a clinician, consistent with a prior grant-funded initiative. Vice-Chair Jeffreys expressed a strong preference that the funds be directed toward 
===PAGE 4===
Select Board Meeting Minutes March 18, 2025 Page 4 of 11  
treatment services for community members actively suffering from opioid addiction, rather than being absorbed into ongoing operational costs. Project Updates: The library teen room is substantially complete with only punch list items remaining. Chimney work at Town Hall is complete and the roofing crew is moving to Town Hall next. The Lunenburg Adult Activity Center kitchen renovation encountered an unexpected rotted drain pipe requiring repair; kitchen reopening is anticipated in early April. The master plan project is proceeding; a productive meeting was held with the consultant, who remains committed to the project. A contract extension through the fall is being negotiated, with the Town Manager exploring withholding the remaining ~$20,000 until project completion. Vacancies: The part-time Assistant to the Sewer Business Manager position has been reposted after the recent appointee did not proceed. Police Chief screening interviews were held the prior week. Lifeguard and Beach Director positions remain open; the Town Manager and Clerk Moore noted that the town beach cannot open without a staffed Beach Director and lifeguard, and encouraged the public to spread the word about these openings. Member Alonzo raised the matter of the Town Hall weather vane, noting sustained public interest and requesting that a replacement or replica be installed as part of the roofing project completion.

===PAGE 9===
Select Board Meeting Minutes March 18, 2025 Page 9 of 11  
The Town Manager's office provided the list of appointed positions with terms expiring after June 30, 2025. Chair Nuzzolo read the full list into the record. Vacancies are as follows: Agricultural Commission (3, including 1 associate member); Architectural Preservation District Commission (3); Americans with Disabilities Commission (1 member-at-large, appointed by Town Manager); Conservation Commission (3); Council on Aging (4); Cultural Council (3); Finance Committee (2); Green Communities Committee (3, including 2 associate members); Historical Commission (2); Personnel Committee (5); Public Access Cable Committee (2); Stormwater Task Force (1 member-at-large); and Zoning Board of Appeals (4, including 3 associate members). Volunteer applications are due by May 15, 2025. Annual appointments will be conducted during the first two weeks of June. Member Alonzo requested that individuals with expiring terms be notified directly.  2. Review and Potential Vote on Letter to State Delegation Re: Local Aid Chair Nuzzolo read the draft letter into the record, addressed to State Senator John Cronin, State Representative Margaret Scarsdale, and State Representative Michael Kushmerek. The letter calls for increased local aid citing the town's ongoing funding crisis, a $2,000,000 FY2026 shortfall for a level-service budget, stagnant Chapter 90 funding since 2012, and the need for Chapter 70 formula reform. The Board offered amendments including: hyphenating "out-of-district"; strengthening item four to state that the Chapter 70 formula is "significantly inadequate in its current funding and in need of an overhaul"; capitalizing "Now Therefore" for proper legal form; and adding the shortfall percentage alongside the dollar figure in the second whereas clause. The Board voted to approve the letter as amended, with final signatures to be obtained at the March 19 meeting. Motion by Vice-Chair Jeffreys to approve the letter to the state delegation as amended. Seconded by Clerk Moore. Call for Vote: Five – Aye. Motion passed unanimously (5-0-0).  XI. MINUTES/WARRANTS/ACTION ITEMS • Regular Session Minutes for March 11, 2025 • Executive Session Minutes for March 11, 2025 Minutes: Regular Session and Executive Session minutes for March 11, 2025 were deferred for a subsequent meeting. Warrants: No warrants were presented at this meeting; warrants were expected at the March 19 meeting. Action Items: Clerk Moore requested that staff review and update all town application forms (including the special event and tollbooth applications) to be modernized, fillable, and to require formal sign-off from Police and DPW rather than relying on applicant self-certification. Member Alonzo concurred and suggested all forms be made fillable PDFs. The Town Manager confirmed that a transition of licensing processes to the OpenGov platform is scheduled for discussion in June, prior to the next licensing season. Vice-Chair Jeffreys requested that individual Microsoft Office apps be downloaded on Select Board iPads to improve document navigation; software updates on the devices were also recommended.  XII.

UPCOMING MEETINGS/EVENTS SCHEDULE Upcoming Select Board meetings: March 19, 2025; April 1, 2025; April 8, 2025.  XIV. PUBLIC COMMENT**  • PUBLIC Jean Marie Price, 162 Highland Street, commented that the rain date for the Lions Club Car Show is May 28. David Passios, former Lunenburg resident on Whiting Street, participated via Zoom regarding the citizens' petition override article and whether it could be withdrawn. Chair Nuzzolo and Select Board members indicated their understanding that a citizens' petition with sufficient signatures cannot be removed from the warrant and may only be passed over at Town Meeting. It was further noted that any override also requires a separate vote of the Select Board to place the question on the ballot, which is distinct from the citizens' petition article.  • TOWN MANAGER Town Manager Warren-Dyment had no additional comment.  • BOARD  XIII. EXECUTIVE SESSION Motion to Enter into Executive Session and not to re-enter into Open session pursuant to MGL c. 30 §21 (a)(3) to discuss strategy with respect to litigation if an open meeting may have detrimental effect on the litigating position of the Town, and the Chair of the Board so declares.
