_I OCT 2 21900 TO: FROM: RE: M E M O R A N D U M Neil Nelson, County Administrator George G. Collins, Jr. Winter Beach Cemetery DATE: September 29, 1980 Dear Neil: wK 45 Put 12 Regarding the county property which was dedicated for cemetery purposes off Winter Beach Road, it would seem to me the way to approach the 17 or so acres would be to hire one of the surveying companies in town to prepare a plat of the property for cemetery purposes. I suggest you obtain authority from the county commission to plat • the property and then, with the help of the Winter Beach Cemetery Association, come up with a*general plan and go ahead and have the property surveyed, the corners marked and let's get a plat of record. Since ly, George Collins, Jr. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS NOTED THAT THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST ACTION OF THIS TYPE TAKEN BY THIS BOARD WHICH, IN EFFECT, WOULD PUT THE COUNTY IN THE CEMETERY BUSINESS. HE NOTED THAT WE DO HAVE OTHER CEMETERIES IN THE COUNTY, INCLUDING THE OSLO CEMETERY, WHICH WE DO MAINTAIN BUT NO RECORDS ARE KEPT, HE BELIEVED THERE HAVE BEEN BURIALS THERE OF WHICH THERE ARE NO RECORDS. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT WE WILL HAVE TO TRY TO FORMALIZE THIS BUSINESS, AND THE CHAIRMAN NOTED THAT THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE TO ACCEPT THE ATTORNEY'S ADVICE. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ACCEPTED THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE ATTORNEY REGARDING WINTER BEACH CEMETERY AS SET OUT IN HIS MEMO OF SEPTEMBER 29, 1980. COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT WE HAVE THIS CEMETERY, THE ONE IN OSLO, AND SOME KIND OF SITUATION WITH THE CEMETERY IN GIFFORD, AND HE WONDERED IF WE SHOULDN'T COME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDA- TION AS TO HOW WE CAN FORMALIZE THIS BUSINESS OF BURIALS ON THESE PLOTS IN ORDER TO GET SOME KIND OF RECORDS. HE BELIEVED WE SHOULD LOOK AT THE WHOLE CEMETERY SITUATION AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO CONTROL
