Chris Dressel agreed with Chris Huff that a plan representing a vision of what the cemetery could be <br />needed to be developed. This planning document would add a level of confidence to the project helping <br />to attract support and funding from outside interests. <br />Deb Kuehn from the City GIS Department said she has nearly completed an internet accessible map <br />identifying individual plots within the cemetery along with data base correlation of burials. This <br />"intelligent map" could be used as a searchable map. <br />Chris Huff, Chris Dressel and Dru Cash all underlined the importance of having a comprehensive plan to <br />manage, restore, and maintain the cemetery. Along with such a plan a targeted well- thought out fund <br />raising effort needed to be devised and launched. <br />Other items discussed were the placing of decorative wreath at the cemetery gates for the holidays <br />along with evergreen swags for monuments. All volunteer efforts to solicit wreaths and make swags <br />should go through Steve Nemeth. <br />Steve Nemeth noted repair and restoration efforts of worn and vandalized tombstones was ready to <br />begin. <br />Toni Cook, committee volunteer said she would be happy to relate the experience of restoration <br />undertaken at the Hebrew Orthodox Cemetery. Oliver Davis said she would be on the November <br />agenda. <br />for the cemetery to be designated a National Landmark was in process. <br />meeting at 6:20 P.M. <br />
