I think this will help us with applying for grants in the future. Christopher Huff- 1831 Colleague St.- Approximately 9 months ago, I was up here ranting about the condition of city cemetery, since the time I've been working with the committee Steve the Director of the parks department, Felicia... I did not prepare the foundation forum or program but absolutely in favor of it as this is one method of protecting the integrity of the historic portion of the cemetery. As everything that catches up with that, we hope to see very significant changes to the condition and the celebration of patrimony on the community and additional improvements to the surrounding neighborhood so I highly recommend that you approve it.
