Commissioner Bird led discussion on the location of gravesites <br />in the DuBose Cemetery. <br />Commissioner Adams reported that a sonar device and probes <br />were used there last Wednesday to confirm where bodies remain. <br />There are headstones within heavy brush in the back or the <br />northwest portion of the cemetery, but there are no bodies on the <br />front portion of the property. The records show that they were <br />moved to Crestlawn in the 40s and 50s. <br />Commissioner Bird and Chairman Tippin stated that they <br />received calls from concerned citizens who were sure their <br />relatives are still buried there. <br />Commissioner Adams assured the Board that every effort will be <br />exerted to satisfy these people that gravesites will not be <br />disturbed. The church building will be placed at the front portion <br />of the property which was not developed as a cemetery and where <br />there are no gravesites. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved <br />the relocation of the Macedonian Baptist Church <br />building to DuBose Cemetery, and the County will <br />take ownership of the building but lease it to the <br />Progressive Civic League or whatever organization <br />they form to take responsibility for maintenance. <br />PEP REEF MODELING <br />The Board reviewed memo from Coastal Engineer Don Donaldson <br />dated January 31, 1994: <br />33 <br />L_ FEB - 11994 <br />BooK 91 672 <br />
