Cemetery Contract?

Why is the city preparing to spend over nine thousand dollars to paint the fence at Maplewood Cemetery when the contract agreed to by the custodian of the cemetery is clearly the one responsible for such upkeep? Article IV SUBMITTALS Section B states, “Submit a narrative business plan detailing the bidders plan to, revitalize, manage, landscape and generally beautify the grounds and walks of Maplewood Cemetery”.

Speaking of the Cemetery the agreement also requires that money received from the placements of monuments would be placed in an “Installation Fund”. Guess who knows all about this fund or its existence…. no one in city government apparently certainly not the city manager. Wonder why?

In this same agreement Article III Section C states, “City will request the successful bidder to submit a schedule of all charges, detail of all sales and services and perpetual care trust fund.” Want to guess who has requested this information….. Apparently not anyone in city government and certainly not the city manager. Wonder why? Allen Barrett

What's the point of having a contract if nobody is gonna read it or enforce it. The letter in the paper gives more details but only makes it worse.
When is the newspaper and radio gonna start exposing some of this mess?

The paper has been muzzled. Doesn't make sense to drive a stake in the heart of rgis wonderful place.
