By July 1, 1971 we must notify both the Supervisor of Registration and the County Com- mission that the City desires to use the county system and in the 6 months interval, between July 1, & December 31, 1971 the County is obligated to reconcile the precincts and realign them if there is any over lap. And then the beginning of 1972 we can use the County System. The only cost will be the extra clerical help.

This was seconded by Commissioner Jackson. Roll was called and the Vote was 4-0. 13. Commissioner Waiters then asked if any action was going to be taken to get a City Planner.

He asked that the City Manager be authorized to proceed in opening up Blocks 9 & 10 for single grave spaces. Another problem is the piling of the dirt after digging graves. He said part of it should be hauled away at the time of digging and the rest put on a tarpaulin so as not to destroy the grass. Mayor Houston also said the City Manager should January 26, 1970 ( Page 2 ) ( 3) look into purchasing another tent and grass. Another problem is that they are J, putting away the tent and grass while they are still wet. The Commissioners 'UM. were in agreement that the Cemetary looked bad. tw Respectfully submitted y -E.
