Subject: African American Cemetery Plan and Funding Option.
Background Summary:
At the August 29, 2012 City Commission Budget Workshop, staff was asked to bring back to the City
Commission for consideration an updated proposal for the installation of a fence at the African
American Cemetery, based upon the information provided by Mr. Lester Dabbs at the workshop, and
to identify possible funding mechanisms for the plan.
Staff has obtained an updated proposal for the fence project which will include a combination of
ornamental style fence and chain Zink fence. The ornamental fence will be installed at the entrance to
the site, off of Basking Ridge Court, and the chain link fence will be installed along the remaining
property lines. The cost for the fence is $12,400 ($10,600 for materials and $1,800 for labor).
Staff has identified a potential funding source in the 2011 -12 fiscal year budget, which is the City
Clerks' Election Expense Account (001- 512 -10 -5600) to complete the fence project.
In addition to this Mr. Dabbs provided staff with a landscape plan for the site for future consideration.
Staff has estimated the cost to complete the landscape plan at approximately $14,000.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commission approve the appropriation of funds from the City Clerks'
Election Expense account (001- 512 -10 -5600) in the amount of $12,400 to complete the fence installation for
African American Cemetery project?
Recommendations
Staff is seeking direction on this issue, but would recommend the use of funds from the City Clerks' Election
Expense account (001- 512 -10 -5600) if the City Commission desires staff to move forward with the project.

Financial Impact:
