November 11, 2009

Members present: Trace, White, Hecker
Also present: Arnold, Buddenhagen, Brockway, Himes, Snedeker

The meeting was called to order at 9:30 a.m. by Chairman Larry Trace.

QUIT-CLAIM REQUEST

Moved by Mrs. White, seconded by Mr. Trace to approve the quit-claim request from the October 14, 2009 meeting and repurchase grave #3, of lot #16, in section #38 from Lucile Podojil. The motion carried unanimously.

NON-RESIDENT REQUEST TO PURCHASE TWO GRAVES

Moved by Mrs. White, seconded by Mr. Hecker to deny the request from Peggy Wolfe Adair of Melbourne, Florida to purchase two in-ground graves in Evergreen Hill Cemetery due to the fact that she does not meet any of the non-resident guidelines. She may purchase columbarium niches or a bench. The motion carried unanimously.

MEMORIAL GARDEN

Mr. Trace requested that Mr. Himes ask the law director if spreading ashes is legal before they put any time or money into the idea.

2010 BUDGET ITEMS

The Trustees agreed that money should be put into the budget so that Mr. Arnold can attend the annual Ohio Association of Cemetery Superintendents & Officials Conference next year. Money for the columbarium walkway should be put back into the budget for 2010 along with money for an expansion and a roadway towards the backside of the cemetery.

MISCELLANEOUS

Converting the existing mausoleum into a columbarium or a chapel was discussed. Also discussed was adding another free-standing columbarium unit to the cemetery.

The meeting adjourned at 10:13 a.m.
