Springdale Cemetery Observer Report

4/16/2019

 
​Linda Daley chaired the meeting 
  • The meeting was convened, no additions were made to the agenda and the March 19 Minutes were approved.
  • Jon Hodel from CloudPoint gave an update.  He reported that the GPS points for almost all graves have been stored using first and last names.  Also, all drone flights for mapping purposes are final.  Upcoming activity will include the mapping of the Mausoleum and on-site training for staff in June.  July 1 will be the official start date of on-going services by CloudPoint as a five year agreement.  Mr. Hodel also mentioned a pilot project that CloudPoint would be initiating which would involve the 3D Mapping of the interior of the Mausoleum using GEOSlam technology.  He showed a video demonstration of the technic and suggested that possibly SCMA would be a possible pilot partner.
  • Mike Rucker gave an update regarding the volunteer work being done at the Scattering Garden.
  • Mark Matusak presented the Manager’s Report
  • The Mausoleum ceiling has been in disrepair from prior damage and age.  Over the winter, repairs were successfully completed. 
  • The Prairie Garden completion is 95% to 96% and will be finished well before the previously proposed date.
  • A Media Blast has been planned to ensure public awareness regarding the News Conference/Dedication for “Prairie Gardens” date of May 31 at 10:30 a.m..  There was also information shared with the Board as an example of what type of information will be circulated as part of this campaign.  One interesting article was from the Wall Street Journal, Review Section, Saturday/Sunday March 30-31, 2019.
  • The Pet Cemetery – Whispering Woods.  Mark Matusak reported that calls have been made to a number of veterinarians in the area and there has been a good reaction from those contacted.
  • Connie Frank reported for the Springdale Historic Preservation Foundation regarding Board Members who will be leaving the Board and possible replacements.  The Foundation Board will be meeting in May to start work on a Strategic Plan, the purpose of which will be to define their focus as a board.
  • Treasurer Jim Stuttle presented financials for review and discussion. Items were approved by the Board.
  • Unfinished Business: Mark Matusak made a motion for the Board to pass a Resolution to identify consistency in those who would be certified and documented to sign checks.  There was consensus that those holding positions as Chair of the Board, Treasurer of the Board and SCMA Manager would be identified as certified. The Resolution was approved.
