Mike motioned that Art Chavez be named Secretary/Treasurer, Dick seconded and all were in favor. Sidney presented the Minturn Cemetery District policy for attendance at regular Board meetings by electronic means as drafted by District attorney, Matt Mire. The group went on to discuss how we execute a conference call and all agreed that a cell phone or a speakertype phone is appropriate. Mike motioned to approve the policy and amend the bylaws to include the policy. Art seconded the motion. All were in favor.

A. Ray gave a Property Manager report: The new paving along the entry gates was recently completed and everyone agrees how nice the apron makes the entry of the cemetery look next to the flowers along the fence. Recent landscape improvements include adding mulch which is something we do about every three years. The stucco wall is complete with a new rounded top to prevent the same failure from happening again. A darker color was selected for the stucco so that is contrasts the white concrete. The project took about six days. There is no shed building update. Willie with the Town of Minturn has been out of town and Dick will attempt to meet with him prior to leaving for his trip.
