An informal Cemetery Committee consisting of Rick Davis, Bret Cammans, Suda Merriman, Kent Jones, Melanie Jaramillo, and Rick Parry have been reviewing operations of the Parks and Cemetery. One issue that has been identified is an increase in traffic due to school events, the park expansion and vehicles simply using the Cemetery for a short cut. These issues create safety problems with the narrow roads and distract from the peaceful atmosphere desired at the Cemetery. The committee would like to propose a temporary closure to motorized vehicles at the North Cemetery entrance, evaluate feedback and report back to council. The closure would be such that foot traffic, strollers and bikes would still be allowed. If the closure proves to be successful a more permanent solution such as a swinging gate may be proposed. MOTION. Councilmember Hanna-Smith moved to approve the temporary closure of the north Cemetery entrance. Motion seconded by Councilmember Nielson. Motion carried.

MOTION. Councilmember Hanna-Smith moved to have the uniform contract sent out for bid. Motion seconded by Councilmember Nielson and carried.
