FOR THE APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS WITHIN THE CEMETERY CARE
FUND: AMENDMENT OF THE ADOPTED BUDGET FOR THAT FUND; AND
AUTHORIZATION FOR THE STAFF TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR THE
REPLACEMENT OF FENCING PROTECTING THE CEMETERY.
Mr Ray said that staff members had been meeting with a group of citizens interested in
improving the image and maintenance of Fairview Cemetery. One of the concerns expressed
by that group is the appearance of the chain link fence along the south side of the property.
They feel that the fence should be of a wrought iron type with an appropriate gate. They also
feel that the fence on the north and east sides of the property should be replaced with a screening
fence. There is sufficient funding in the cemetery care fund to cover an appropriation for the
project. Staff requested an amendment to the FY 1993-94 Cemetery Care Fund Budget by
appropriating $15,000 for a Capital Improvement Fencing project; and authorization to solicit
