OLD BUSINESS
Mike Kirby & Howard Jeffries presented a proposal to the
Committee on improvements of Babyland. They proposed that the
4L City put up a sign stating " Babyland" painted in pink, blue &
black; erect a cypress fence across the back of the area, and
remove all the sod and replace it with deco stone. City's cost
would be $1,320. - $1,590. The Committee consented for staff to
do this project.
The Committee is concerned about the continued vandalism
being done at the old cemetery behind Lakeview. Engineering
Dept. done a survey to determine who owned this property. A list
of the ownerships were turned over to the City Attorney for
answer on just what can be done back in this area.
New Business
Carefree Lawn Systems' contract was terminated by the City
in November, 1991. Parks staff has been maintaining the cemetery
until a new contractor can take over. It appears that The Bon
Terre Group, Inc. will be taking over maintenance for an annual
fee of $38,800.
Bill Welborn's term of membership expires 3/13/92. Bill has
stated he is willing to serve another three -year term. Bette

Bette Gramkow stated that the funeral homes need to know who
is on standby for holidays & weekends. Howard Jeffries stated
that Charlie Collier & himself are on standby. A letter will be
sent to all funeral homes with names and phone numbers.
Bernard Mitchell mentioned that a small marker should be put
on graves immediately upon burial. There have been problems with
other funeral homes not doing this, then months later this
causes problems in determining the location of the grave. The
Committee requested that a letter be sent to all funeral homes
requesting that a marker be put on the grave immediately upon
burial.
