Springdale Cemetery Observer Report

6/18/2019

 
​Linda Daley chaired the meeting
· Mark Matusak presented the Manager’s Report
· CloudPoint staff is completing training staff. They were thorough and available. Organization is the focus at this point.
· Burials are consistent with last year to date but lower than the previous 3rd and 4th years. Purchasing is up. The marketing of the Scattering Garden has encouraged more traffic and calls regarding more information. There was suggestion by the Board that the Manager’s Report should continue to report burials as well as sales in order to provide a clearer picture for business activity and incoming revenues.
· SC received a State Capital Grant for $100,000 of which a portion will be identified for the “Shaft” Project, if needed in order to reach the Project’s fund raising goals. The Board discussed the overwhelming need for those funds to repair infrastructure such as roads and maintenance equipment and buildings on the Cemetery’s grounds.
· The “Shaft” Project Ground Breaking Event will be held Saturday, June 22, 11:00 a.m.
