Cedar Fort Cemetery Committee clarifies grant volunteer-hour match and plans map reimbursement
Summary
Committee members discussed grant requirements and agreed that volunteer hours counted toward grant match must be for grant-eligible tasks; the chair said leftover grant funds could reimburse Kent Withers for map printing and could pay authorized hours for the chair’s husband.
CEDAR FORT — At the Cemetery Committee’s May 4 meeting, members clarified what volunteer work may be used as a match for a grant and discussed reimbursing a resident who printed cemetery maps.
The chair introduced the item as “the final grant project requirements,” and a committee member asked whether volunteer hours must be tied to activities the grant will pay for. The chair responded, “It is just for the grant stuff,” and clarified that only hours on grant-eligible tasks qualify as match. She said the committee could only count hours that the grant would pay for and gave an example: the chair’s husband has been updating cemetery information and can log those hours for the grant.
On map printing, the chair said Kent had printed maps and that the committee would reimburse him from grant funds. “Kent printed out a couple of those maps, so I was going to reimburse him for it,” the chair said. Committee members discussed whether an extra printed set existed and offered help with tasks such as ladder work and map-related fieldwork.
The discussion closed without a formal vote; the chair indicated she would either pay the husband for logged hours from grant funds or use remaining grant funds to reimburse map printing.
Next steps: The committee plans to document hours for grant match and to reimburse map printing from grant funds; exact amounts and timelines were not specified.
