Board hears updates on Cleveland Memorial Gardens gazebo and marker improvements
Summary
Board members received an update on Cleveland Memorial Gardens: painting and stabilization of crosses, plans to anchor crosses in concrete, and that the awarded gazebo contractor has re-engaged and will begin forming and concrete work; staff said they will move to an alternate bidder if scheduling fails.
The Parks and Recreation Board heard a progress report on Cleveland Memorial Gardens and related cemetery improvements.
Roger reported staff have painted cemetery crosses and are planning to add extensions or anchors and secure them in concrete to improve visibility and stability. He described the material as PVC boards and said the plan is to cut and secure brackets, then set the anchors with concrete so the crosses sit more stably in the ground.
On the gazebo project, Roger said the contractor who was awarded the bid finally responded and will be on site to make concrete forms and begin work; he added that if the contractor does not follow through staff will solicit an alternate bidder so the project is not delayed.
The chair commented that a gazebo and improved markers will be "a great asset to our cemeteries." Roger emphasized the goal of completing work promptly and avoiding further delays.
Next steps: staff will monitor contractor scheduling for the gazebo, proceed with anchoring and stabilization work for the cemetery crosses, and return with implementation timing and any required procurement updates. The transcript records the updates and the board’s acceptance of the report; no formal vote was required for these updates.
