HELD ON FEBRUARY 2, 1989
PRESENT: Chairman Sam Woodson, Nell Minor, Betty Hager, and
Sharon Levine; Street Supervisor Buddy Elmore, Garry Smith, and
Deputy Clerk Green.
ABSENT: Bill Breeze (and Commissioner Johnson ere out of town.
Chairman Woodson called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M..
Minutes of the November 3rd meeting were distributed for approval.
Paragraph four was corrected with a concluding sentence stating:
"However, a small shrub might be planted in the flower garden upon
approval of Buddy or Garry." The minutes were approved as
corrected.
Mr. Woodson asked if committee members had any
recommendations or comments about the revised Cemetery Deed which
had been proposed by City Attorney Paul Rosenthal. The need for
the routine inclusion of the recorded document segment on the
bottom of page one of the Deed was questioned, because, as far as
we know, the cemetery deeds are rarely recorded. There were no
additional changes suggested. The Committee unanimously agreed to
recommend that the Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve
the Deed as submitted with the exception of questioning the
recorded document segment. The Committee further recommended
Commission authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to execute
conveyances of cemetery plots utilizing the approved form provided
that the City receives payment in accordance with existing City
ordinances, resolutions and regulations as had been advised by the
City Attorney.
Betty Hager reported that the Hawthorne family land, which
had been suggested as a possible site for Cemetery expansion,
remains unavailable. We may know something more definite about
this matter within a few months.
A document specifying monument design as well as general
cemetery rules is provided to each purchaser of a cemetery lot.
This document had been updated by the clerk for the cemetery with
minor corrections and the inclusion of the portion of the cemetery
code which pertained to placement of flowers in the cemetery. A
sentence had been added stating: "I have read the foregoing rules
and regulations and do hereby agree to abide by them." A
signature line had also been added. Copies of the revised
document were distributed for members' review. After some
discussion, it was suggested that the clerk add floral regulations
similar to those specified by Woodlawn Memorial Park and that the
revised document be brought back for Committee review at the next
meeting.
The next meeting was scheduled for Thursday, March 2nd at
7:30 P.M. in the conference room in City Hall.
