City Cemetery Chairman Adams reviewed and Sheryl Chapman read into the record the written comments prepared by the City Attorney regarding the use of perpetual care funds for a columbarium as follows: "Since the charter provision regarding the perpetual care fund does not address the use of the funds for other than "maintenance" purposes, and "columbaria" are mentioned separately, the current law does not appear to allow for perpetual care funds to be used for other purposes, unless the Charter is amended to so provide."
