PUBLIC COMMENT – Melanie Carrillo questioned the upkeep of the grounds, headstones and gophers.  The landscape procedure along with gopher control procedures were explained by Lani and Jamie and are done to the best of our ability with the finances we have.  Lani explained that the care of the actual headstone is the responsibility of the families.

OLD BUSINESS

  1.  Memorial Day – Lynda reported the program was set and asked board members to be at the cemetery at 10 that morning.
  2.  Signage – Greg reported the new signs were done and should be installed this week.
  3.  Gophers – Due to Memorial Day the company will be asked to not put up their blue marker flags this week and then start with them again after Memorial day.

NEW BUSINESS

  1.  Wall repair – the idea of filling the hole in the wall where part of the damage from our flooding occurred was discussed.  Per Manuel Minjares this can not be filled without consent from the adjoining neighbor. There was a discussion how to handle this as Doug had talked to him and nothing has been done.  A letter will be sent to start some dialogue.
