Review Engineer's Cost Proposal for Irrigation System:
The Laurel Cemetery Irrigation Improvements Project Estimate was distributed. The cost breakdown is
as follows: construction cost $111,168.20, project engineering $8,900.00 and construction administration
$8,600.00. The total estimated project cost is $128,668.20.
Chuck felt this estimate was reasonable and hopes the bids are within this estimate.
A motion was made by Dick, seconded by Lee to recommend approval of the Laurel Cemetery Irrigation
Improvements Project Estimate and to submit the proposal to the City Council for approval. Motion
carried 4 -0.
Other
The shed for cemetery has been ordered from S Bar S. It will have a brown roof and trim.
Cathy received a call from an individual who was upset that the Laurel Cemetery was not a part of the
Wreaths Across America project. There was discussion and it was felt that this would be appropriate for
the Legion to take on, rather than the city. Lee said, according to an article, the wreaths cost $45.00
apiece and come from Maine. The program is funded through sponsorships but it was unclear how it
actually works.
This is the last meeting for Chuck Rodgers as Chairman. The committee thanked him for his dedicated
service and for all the cemetery improvements we have achieved on his watch.
The meeting adjourned at 6:00 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
