I am attaching a copy of the July 16, 2013 letter which Carol S. Nichols, an officer and member of the Schuyler Colfax Chapter of the Daughters of American Revolution which she sent to federal officials seeking assistance for the needed upgrades to properly honor Schuyler Colfax and his final resting place in our historic City Cemetery. As of this date there has not been a response. As momentum continues to build to our project, and more volunteers are signing up to be a part of the City Cemetery Restoration Project, we are hopeful that with the adoption of the attached Resolution and having it sent to our elected federal public officials, including President Obama, Vice - President Biden, White House General Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler; as well as to Senator Coates, Senator Donnelly and Represenative Walorski - that we may be able to put this project into high gear. I request that this Resolution be sent to the Community Relations Committee which is overseeing the City Cemetery Restoration Project so that the Committee may hold a public hearing on it next Monday before the 7 p.m. City Council meeting. I seek your continuing support by adopting this 3rd Resolution which is related to the City Cemetery Restoration Project by voting unanimously next Monday. Thank vou. ;il' Viceent Committee Attachment cc: Mayor Pete Buttigieg Phil St. Clair, Park Superintendent Volunteers Working on the City Cemetery Restoration Project 2013 -2017
