Observer Report: Springdale Cemetery

​June 20, 2017 -  The manager reported that the “Records Preservation” project is behind desired plan. The mausoleum crypt project is working to mark vacant crypts to make sales easier. Previously planned staff employment reviews and wage adjustments were recently completed. Overdue accounts amount to $6,300 and work is underway to address them appropriately.
The manager is proposing August 4 for dedication of the new entrance. The City of Peoria spent 40 or 50 hours doing drainage investigation; the manager sent a list of related priorities he feels he needs help from City to the public works director.

•  In response to the rupture of the office sewer line while boring a wire to the new cell tower the contractor will pay $5,823.
• Another mausoleum door painting has been completed by Mr. Kettleborough.
• The Peoria County Coroner has requested a ceremony for unclaimed remains in the proposed scattering garden. The Manger is suggesting that they proceed with this as a first step in implementing this new area.
• New directors were elected:  Steve Kerr - Chairman, Bob Manning - Vice-chairman, same Garth Madison - Secretary & James Stuttle - Treasurer.
