▶ 6:21 Ryan Williams: have ID 2026-456, the appointment of Paul Cusolito, 63 Stratford Road, Melrose, to the Cemetery Commission for a term of three years, said term to expire the last day of February 2029. Hi, welcome. Thank you for coming.
▶ 6:38 Speaker 6: Hello, good evening.
▶ 6:38 Jen Grigoraitis: So, Mr. Cusolito has, um, graciously agreed to serve on the Cemetery Commission after one of our longtime commissioners, Dan O'Neill, is stepping down after over a decade on that board. Um, obviously as you all know, the commission oversees Wyoming Cemetery where residents can be buried. Um, it's obviously a position that requires care and consideration, but also there's a lot of capital needs in that space, and so the commission is heavily involved in that. Mr. Cusolito, in addition to being a longtime Melrose resident, also brings, um, management experience in engineering, so that's a really important lens through which to engage that commission. So, thank you for stepping forward. You're welcome.
▶ 7:16 Speaker 1: Any questions from counselors?
▶ 7:21 Bradley Freeman: President Freeman? Again, thank you for, for stepping up here. I, I appreciate you and as I said at the last boards commissions meeting, I think one of the best things about Melrose is all the individuals who step up to serve their community on these boards and commissions, so thank you and thank you to everyone else who's been here.
▶ 7:34 Speaker 7: I appreciate your recognition. Thanks.
▶ 7:35 Speaker 2: Absolutely. And with that, I'll make a motion to recommend.
▶ 7:38 Ryan Williams: Okay, a motion by President Freeman to recommend. Second. Seconded by Counselor Cole. On discussion. All in favor?
▶ 7:45 Speaker 1: Aye. Any opposed?
▶ 7:48 Ryan Williams: Okay, that passes. Thank you. Thanks so much for your time. Yeah. Okay.
