JOINT MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON AND THE CEMETERY COMMISSION FOR THE CITY OF COLTON. Cemetery Manager Ramos expounded on her agenda report by adding that since its inception in 1877, Hermosa Cemetery, designated an enterprise, has never been profitable until 1990-1991 when it earned $12,000. She identified the Cemetery's purpose as public service and public care. She believed that the Cemetery provided a return to the community as well as providing a livelihood for its employees. At Hermosa Cemetery, there have been cemetery caretakers but not cemeterians who, in addition to maintaining grounds, develop the Cemetery business. Consequently, Hermosa cemetery is now in dire need of retrofitting and financial help. At 5:42 P. M., Cemetery Commission Member Dylina is present. Councilmember Beltran leaves the dais momentarily with Mayor Gonzales' knowledge. At 5:44 P. M. Councilmembers Rios and Beltran are present at the dais. JAN 0 4 1994
