Hillcrest Memorial Gardens board notes vandalism of bases and accepts donations; no report presented
Summary
The Hillcrest Memorial Gardens board accepted minutes, discussed missing and vandalized bases at the cemetery and said it will accept donations to replace them; the board reported no formal report and no recoveries were confirmed.
The Hillcrest Memorial Gardens board accepted the minutes from its previous meeting and discussed vandalism to bases at the cemetery during a brief agenda item.
A board member asked whether police had recovered any of the missing bases after noting that some had been vandalized. The board said it will accept donations to replace the bases, and members observed that other cemeteries are experiencing similar problems.
Commissioner Denson moved to accept the prior meeting minutes; the board voted “aye” to approve the minutes. The board had no other formal reports for the record and concluded with a motion to adjourn.
The board did not provide a recovery tally, value estimate for the missing bases, nor a timeline for replacement during the meeting record. Board members noted that theft and vandalism of cemetery bases is not unique to Hillcrest.
