Resident urges cleaning and repair of veterans' markers at Token Creek Cemetery; committee offers support
Summary
At its Oct. 1 meeting, the Token Creek Conservancy Committee heard from a resident proposing expanded cleaning of veterans' grave markers using D2 cleaning solution and was told a contractor quoted $5,275 to reset fallen markers; the committee supported purchasing D2 and directed next steps to Tourism Commission and Village Board.
Sue Pederson, a Windsor resident, asked the Token Creek Conservancy Committee on Oct. 1 to expand efforts to clean veterans' grave markers at Token Creek Cemetery, saying she has used a D2 cleaning solution to restore several markers and has donated both the product and labor to date. She told the committee additional D2 would allow her to clean more markers.
Pederson said a quote from Heritage Cement Restoration to reset fallen or leaned markers is $5,275. Committee members expressed general support for purchasing the cleaning solution and for pursuing repair of markers but did not take a formal vote on funding the repairs during the meeting.
Bruce Stravinski, who serves as Tourism Commission chair and also sits on the committee, said he will present the request that the Tourism Commission consider paying for the D2 cleaning solution. Committee members said the larger repair work (resetting markers) will be brought before the Village Board for consideration.
No statutory citations or grant sources were discussed at the meeting. The committee did not approve spending for the Heritage Cement Restoration quote during the Oct. 1 session; the next formal steps are a Tourism Commission review for the cleaning solution and a Village Board review for the repair estimate.
