ALSO PRESENT: Linda Tucker
Meeting called to order by Chairman, Bill Welborn,
Minutes of 7 -12 -89 were reviewed and approved.
Update on Cemetery Improvements Mr. Jernigan gave update
on Cemetery improvements. Bid for construction was awarded
to Shoemaker Construction. W.L. Sanderlin originally was
awarded bid by Chase Family however they later withdrew their
bid stating they could not do construction work for the bid
cost they had originally submitted.
Mr. Jernigan showed the proposed layout of the cemetery
improvements. City has already installed a flagpole instead
of including cost for this in the bid.
City is now installing utility lines along the front area.
Shoemaker Construction will be starting their work after the
City is finished.
The Scenic Improvement Board will probably submit a plan for
landscaping.
Review of Cemetery Rules & Regulations: Mr. Jernigan stated
that the City Commission had reviewed the rules & regulations
of the Cemetery. The City Commission did make one correction
to read as follows:
Section II. VETERAN BURIALS
A) Free burial spaces for veterans will be provided under
the following circumstances.
City Commission added the word "spaces" to make the reading
more clear.
Recommendations for new Committee member. J.P. Stevens has
resigned. Bill Welborn asked that members bring to next meeting
names for recommendation to the City Commission to replace
Mr. Stevens

Possible action to improve "Babyland" Mr. Jernigan suggested
putting a small brick wall around area then sod and landscaping
that section. He indicated that perhaps we install a mural
in the section indicating "Babyland ". He asked that Bernard
Mitchell & Bill Welborn get some quotes on cost of getting
names engraved on plaques for the baby graves.
Expansion of cemetery Chairman Bill Welborn suggested that
City determine as a long range goal to expand the cemetery.
This is one of the major goals indicated by the Cemetery
Committee when they were first started meeting.
