Springdale Cemetery Observer Report

2/19/2019

 
​Linda Daley chaired the meeting
· Public Comment: There were two comments by the Public: A citizen attended to restate the Goals which in essence state that the duties of the custodians of the Cemetery are to remember these Goals: Caring for families and providing compassionate services to customers and to reduce the financial burden on tax payers. Secondly, Herb Kasube, the Race Director for the IVS Half Race associated with Il. Valley Striders, addressed the Board with an update of progress. The race route has a portion that winds through Springdale Cemetery.

· It was noted that 3 SCMA Director terms will be up in June and Mark will be informing the Mayor.
​Equipment Replacement: The usual number of mowers available to maintenance is six but two of the six are no longer repairable. Mark Matusak stated that maintenance feels that they would like to limit the leasing of mowers to one additional instead of two and see if they can operate efficiently with that number.

· Prairie Gardens Marketing: Design Farm will be developing marketing materials: Advertorial materials will be created to educate consumers regarding the benefits of choosing “scattering” in a formal setting for their loved ones. The most important benefit for future generations is registry for loved ones. Geneology has become an interest for young people and this should be encouraged. These materials will be distributed to funeral homes by Mark Matusak preceded by a letter of introduction regarding the Garden.
