Donation of J.T. Allen Property: On 1 -20 -03 the City Commission approved accepting
the donation of the J.T. Allen property, pending results of a title search and
environmental assessment. This area will provide approximately 200 available spaces for
sale. Christopher Neal suggested installing a small plaque indicating the donation by the
family and to incorporate this section into the Evergreen cemetery.
Discussion on burial of cremation remains (Special request from Brisson . Ron Kandzer,
Brisson Funeral Home presented pictures of a "Sundial" which holds cremation ashes. A
family wants to purchase and install this on their lot. They want 3 people (some are
cremation ashes) buried in their lot but only have space for two. The sundial would meet
their needs by allowing cremations. The consensus of the committee was to give
permission for the family to install the sundial and perhaps to review /revise the rules &
regulations to accommodate usage of these sundials.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Howard stated that in the cemetery there are trees marked for removal. Bon Terre will be
cutting down these trees in the near future.
Linda mentioned that Cobbin McGee's term of office will expire in March 03, and asked
if the Committee would approve of him serving again. The consensus of the committee
was to ask him to serve again.
