Subject:
3.B.1. Gate 
Discussion:
Discussion was held regarding moving a gate from the Riverside Cemetery to Blue River Cemetery. City Administrator Tom Ourada explained he spoke to Street Supervisor Trenton Griffin and they estimated it would cost $500 to $700, not over $1,000, to dig a hole, install a post, and attach the gate. The Street Department would do the work. The board decided that a latch would work better than a lock to avoid having to have someone open and close it every day. 

Larry Shestak motioned that the west gate at the Riverside Cemetery be moved to the Blue Valley Cemetery seconded by Gene Eggebraaten. All board members present voted yes.
