The Bastrop City Council meeting on April 10, 2025, focused on community initiatives, particularly the restoration of local cemeteries and funding agreements for ongoing projects.

One of the main topics discussed was the cleanup efforts at Whispering Pines Cemetery. Council members highlighted the importance of this initiative, noting that it has become a signature project for the community. The council acknowledged the contributions of local resident Jerry Green, who donated funds to support the restoration efforts.

Additionally, the council reviewed a funding agreement related to these projects. Council member Locke expressed his intention to allocate a portion of his funds, amounting to $1,000, to assist with the cleanup and maintenance of the cemetery. This agreement aims to ensure that the necessary resources are available for the continued improvement of Whispering Pines.

The discussions underscored the council's commitment to enhancing local heritage sites and fostering community involvement in their upkeep. As the cleanup progresses, the council plans to monitor the project's impact and explore further funding opportunities to support similar initiatives in the future.
