Board of Works approves repairs for 150 more cemetery headstones; council hears status update
Summary
The chair reported the Board of Works approved fixing another 150 headstones at the city cemetery; 612 have been fixed so far and the chair said the program could be manageable locally within one to two years.
The council received an update that the Board of Works approved a work order to repair 150 additional headstones at the city cemetery. The chair said 612 headstones have been repaired to date and estimated it may take another year or two before the work is managed from city resources.
The announcement was presented as a report rather than as an agenda motion requiring council approval. The chair described the pace of repairs and thanked council support for the Board of Works decision.
"There's been 612 fixed so far, and we're thinking, maybe in another year, possibly 2 years, we could have it all under control to where our people can manage it from here on out," the chair said during council comments.
