Cemetery Mr. Elliott referred to a letter received from the Cemetery Board in Sacramento, in- dicating that because of complaints they have received with regard to the unlicensed sales activities of Mrs. Jennie Gonzales at Hermosa Cemetery, the City of Colton must make a decision regarding the status of Mrs. Gonzales. Mr. Elliott also referred to a letter from Mr. Dan E. Qualls, Attorney at Law, which indicated the City of Colton may be in possible violation of Section 8137 of the Health and Safety Code, because Mrs. Gonzales receives a commission for the sale of monuments or markers at a ceme- tery owned and operated by the City. Mr. Elliott said the Cemetery Board has indicated the City of Colton has two options - make Mrs. Gonzales an employee of the City of Colton; or, terminate her sales activi- ties on behalf of Hermosa Cemetery.
