r - <br />FEB 15 19911 <br />BOOK 9 FA,f 74h �'-. 7 <br />JAMES RICHARDSON'S REQUEST TO SPEAR REGARDING GIFFORD CEMETERY <br />CONCERNS <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 2/8/94: <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Jim Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: Carolyn K. Eggert eq& <br />County Commissioner <br />DATE: February 8, 1994 <br />SUBJECT: Gifford Cemetery Association <br />Mr. James Richardson of the Gifford Cemetery <br />Association (currently used cemetery) has asked to be put on <br />the agenda for Tuesday, February 15, 1994 to discuss some <br />problems they are having. <br />I would appreciate your putting him on under Public <br />Discussion. <br />The Gifford Cemetery Association includes James <br />Richardson, Clyde Morgan, Eastman Monroe and Mr. Carter. <br />As a result of our telephone discussion, I am writing <br />Mr. Richardson to verify his being put on the agenda. <br />James Richardson, resident of Gifford and trustee of the <br />Gifford Cemetery Association, reported that there have been two car <br />accidents at the curve of the road by the cemetery. The first <br />accident happened two years ago when a car lost control at the <br />curve and crashed through the fence at the cemetery resulting in <br />damages of $1300-$1400. That was resolved. The second accident <br />occurred this January and resulted in damages of approximately <br />$2,600. This was done by a drunk driver without any insurance and <br />the trustees at the cemetery are left with the problem. He <br />distributed pictures of the damages occurred in the January <br />accident where the car went through the fence and damaged several <br />graves. <br />Mr. Richardson advised that the trustees of the cemetery are <br />requesting that the Commissioners approve a guardrail for the <br />cemetery side of the road in order to save lives and prevent <br />property damage. Apparently, drivers come around that curve too <br />fast and lose control and a guardrail would prevent them from <br />jumping the fence into the cemetery. <br />12 <br />
