Other Considerations
Commission member Gentz suggested restoring some of the older tombstones in the cemetery. Public Works Director Matlack indicated she, along with the cemetery sexton, attending training on that very topic.
Update on the Lincoln Highway marker - it is still in Jon's backyard. It still needs some work done to it; missing the "penny" that goes on it. Commission members would like to see it get installed by the tourist cabins at the west end of town.
The next regularly scheduled meeting will be October 6, 2020 @ 5:00 p.m.
At approximately 5:27 p.m. commission member Kenady moved to adjourn the meeting and a second was recognized. On a voice vote the motion carried.
