Commission reviews $7,631.23 grant balance and options to buy headstones and pads
Summary
The commission confirmed a $7,631.23 discretionary fund balance and discussed ordering about 20–21 headstones and concrete pads (concrete pads previously quoted at $52 each), with invoicing used to spend funds before finalizing name lists.
Commissioners reviewed the commission's discretionary grant balance and debated how many headstones and concrete pads to order before the grant deadline.
The chair read the financial update: "it says on the back page $7,631.23 remains to be spent from the 2026 discretionary fund grant," and members discussed ordering 20 stones and a set of concrete pads that would nearly exhaust the available funds. Julie Jones noted the prior per‑pad price: "The last order we did was only 18 concrete pads, and it was $52 each." Commissioners agreed they can ask vendors to bill now and provide final name lists later so the grant money is spent within the period.
Members discussed production minimums for concrete molds and whether ordering additional units would lower per‑unit costs; they also planned to reconcile the final count with available names and to seek updated quotes before placing a firm order.
