PIONEEER CEMETERY MEETING NOTES Meeting Date and Time: September 21, 2018 Meeting Location: Dianne Todd’s home Board Members Present: Red Bluff: Steve Jackson Harrison: Tony Kantorwicz Pony: Dianne Todd Meeting: The meeting was called to order at !0:15 a.m.. The old news was continuation of a discussion about Harrison needing a new lawn mower. We received a bid from Belgrade Sales and Service May 8, 2018 for a Gravely HD 44 Mower with a discount for a cemetery. That bid was for $4575.60. Steve made a motion to purchase it and Toni seconded it. It was decided that Bert and Dianne Todd would pick it up from Belgrade. They will also pick up an old one from Harrison for recycling and next spring when Harrison starts using the new one their present one will be given to Red Bluff for parts. Harrison also presented information as to why a new tool shed is needed there. Toni is going to work up prices as to what it will cost. This was tabled for the present. The Pony Cemetery increased in size by 1.7 acres a few years ago. Bert Todd, the caretaker, has been cleaning it up, was used as a dump years ago, and mowing it without any increase in pay. On April 30, 2008 it was decided by the then board members that pay for the caretakers would be by $.004 per square foot. Figuring the square footage of the Pony cemetery resulted in a pay increase to $1357.00 a month. It was decided to give him back pay for this season, $1632.00. The motion to do this was by Steve and seconded by Dianne. The Red Bluff cemetery’s back fence needs bracing to keep the cattle from MSU getting in. The MSU caretaker told Steve that if the cemetery bought that bracing he would install it. A quote for that price hadn’t come in, but it was decided, to counteract the damage that cattle can do in a cemetery, we would okay it, pending on what that cost would be. Toni stated that her cemetery needs gravel on the roads. She will contact our local county workers, Frosty Armstrong and Paul Shaw, about how to proceed with getting some. The meeting was closed at 11:30 with a motion by Toni and Steve seconding it. Dianne CG Todd Secretary/Treasurer
