B. Status Report on Gate Closure — (Tabled until March, 2015)
Motion
Ms. Prainito moved to remove the item from the table. Vice Chair Glinski seconded the motion that
unanimously passed.
Ms. Roberts explained the gate was completed, there were new slats and plans to remove some of the
topsoil by the gate were under way. Vice Chair Glinski noted there was a big gap on the left side of the
gate. She was concerned a small child could slip through the gate. They intend to insert a slat in the
gate to prevent access. They also just started moving the fill from the double downs this week. Mr.
Saulter commented they would stain or paint the gate and when the fill was removed, the machinery
will be stored there.
Vice Chair Glinski asked if it was possible to plat some of the pit area. Mr. Saulter explained there are
wells and utility lines there and it would be difficult to plat. There are some utility lines that run to the
baseball field and an easement. However, another Mausoleum building could be constructed up to the
existing fence.
There had been no response whether another Mausoleum would be constructed at the Cemetery. It
was noted this would likely be discussed during the City Commission Strategic Planning sessions.
