RESOLUTION NO. R-61-92 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE <br />CITY OF COLTON, CALIFORNIA, REQUESTING <br />THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY <br />OF SAN BERNARDINO TO RENDER SPECIFIED <br />SERVICES TO THE CITY RELATING TO THE <br />CONDUCT OF A SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION <br />TO BE HELD ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, <br />1992. <br />Hermosa Memorial Gardens Cemetery Report: <br />Cemetery Manager and Risk Manager Ramos reported on a recent front-page <br />newspaper article which negatively highlighted her enforcement of mandatory <br />safety rules and regulations which specifically forbids the use of fencing on a burial <br />plot. She reported that utmost care and courtesy were extended by Cemetery <br />staff and herself in addressing Mrs. Villegas' complaint. Councilwoman Cisneros <br />inquired about paper decorations and flower arrangements brought to the cemetery <br />on holidays or special occasions. Mrs. Ramos indicated that Cemetery staff <br />members are patient to allow certain small displays; however, flowers left in glass <br />containers and fencing are forbidden. She stated that a member of the Cemetery <br />staff had been injured by glass shard which flew like a projectile when a glass <br />container broke as the employee was mowing the lawn. If fencing was allowed, it <br />would be placing the City in a vulnerable financial situation but most importantly, it <br />is not permissible by cemetery regulations. <br />Mrs. Ramos stated that every Thursday, as evidenced by signs posted in the <br />cemetery, flowers and decorations are removed so that the lawn can be <br />maintained. The decorations are placed in a shed where the owners can come and <br />claim the items. <br />Mrs. Ramos thanked and expressed appreciation to the members of the Cemetery <br />Staff and the members of the Cemetery Commission for a job well done. Mrs. <br />Ramos invited everyone to the Memorial Day Remembrance scheduled for Monday, <br />May 25, 1992. <br />CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />City Manager Lewis indicated that the following were non -action reports being <br />submitted by team leaders on goals set by the City Council. <br />7 <br />MAY 1 9 X992 <br />
