The treasurer's report was presented and approved. Noted was that the business digging the graves is no longer paid by the cemetery but paid by the mortuary with the cemetery receiving $250 for services rendered. This will show up in the financials as a reduction in burial income and a reduction in burial expenses.
An update of cemetery grounds update was given by Dean Otto.

It was noted that Glenwood cemetery sent a letter out stating that empty pots would be removed and placed in a shed. Also discussed was the need to trim the arborvitaes on the north side of the west section of the cemetery and to clean up along the fence on the north edge of the east section of the cemetery. These items will be discussed with Randy Isenberg by Dean Otto.
