Old Business:

installed and is color coded by sections. The Department has
received numerous compliments on the signage since this has been
installed.
• The condition of Sec. M was discussed. Howard informed the
committee that the City has sent letters to all lot owners whose
markers were out of line requesting that they be corrected. The
majority of the markers have been corrected. The City will
straighten the remaining ones.

Fred Gaines moved to appoint Chris Neal as Vice Chairman. Seconded
by Bill Welborn. Passed.
The Committee discussed adding another member to the Committee. It
was the consensus of the committee to recommend to the City
Commission to add one more member to the committee in order to get
a broader input on matters regarding the cemetery.
Howard asked what the Committee's thoughts were on putting a
stipulation on Sec. J that only flat markers could be installed in
that section. The consensus of the committee was not to do this
because other sections did not have this stipulation.
Howard mentioned that the City has received several requests to
inter cremains. He requested an opinion from the Committee if the
City should start performing interments of cremains for a fee, or
j refer the request to the contractor who performs the
opening /closing of graves. The consensus of the Committee was to
refer these requests to the contractor.
Rules & regulations of the cemetery were discussed briefly. The
final consensus of the committee was to have Parks staff draft the
recommended changes then have a special meeting to discuss changes
needed.
Meeting was adjourned at 4:30 p.m.
