"I met with the engineer and we toured the site, took a look around and they prepared a proposal which I signed," Mazzucco told the Cemetery Commission on Thursday. "They will get the different cost estimates and look at the code concerns."
Earlier this year, the town administrator asked the commission if it would be willing to use cemetery funds to either build a new maintenance garage at Bellevue or update, repair and extend the current cement block structure.
The town also must knock down a dilapidated shed and will need space.
Mazzucco said the entire process may take a few weeks.
"I am hoping to have something ready for the October meeting and I’m hoping to get something done before winter," he said.
The commission is looking at three options: new construction, fix the current garage and add some new sheds or add on to the current garage.
As for the white shed in disrepair, Mazzucco expects it to be taken down sooner than later.
"It's still there but it’s going," he assured the commissioners. "It is a matter of the day they are ready to get rid of it, they will knock it down. We are not using it anymore and if we need temporary storage for part of the season we can make it work."
