Roll call members present were: Thomsen, Curtis, Neumann, Hynes, Orthmann, Saathoff and Woodman. Also present were County Clerk Lewis and Attorney Lee. Lewis told that Board that she had contacted all the past vendors who had been doing mowing of the cemeteries to see what their charges would be for the current season and whether or not they were interested in continuing the service. She stated that Zach’s Lawn Service who mowed Shiloh Cemetery planned to continue the same charge as before of $100.00 per mowing. Brad Harpham of the Platte Valley Antique Machinery Association, was taking over the mowing of the Danish Reform and Scandinavian Lutheran Cemeteries, stated they planned to charge the same as the previous vendor. Lewis reported she also spoke with the mother of Michelle Gentert who had been mowing Morseville Cemetery and was told that Michelle will not be providing the mowing service this summer. The Board discussed the bid that had been received from Patty’s Lawn Care compared to the charges from the other vendors. Most of the Board felt that the bid was lower than what the County has been paying and liked the idea that one person would be responsible for all the cemeteries. Motion by Neumann, seconded by Thomsen to accept the bid from Patty’s Lawn Care of $50.00 per cemetery per month with the Scandinavian Lutheran Cemetery at $65.00 per month for the maintenance of County abandoned cemeteries. Roll call, ayes: Thomsen, Curtis, Neumann, Hynes, Orthmann, Saathoff and Woodman. Nays, none. Attorney Lee told the Board that in her research regarding the encroachment of the Danish Reform Cemetery by an adjoining property owner, there is no prescriptive easement available for transferring ownership or giving authority to continue encroachment. She also reported that in her research regarding the Scandinavian Cemetery that the County does not own the cemetery but is only charged with the maintenance once they are abandoned. Woodman also told the trustees that the Highway Dept is looking for fill dirt for the Showboat project and has been asked if they might use some of the dirt from the Danish Reform Cemetery. This would also increase the visibility and safety at that intersection Lee said she would have to research that issue. Motion by Saathoff, seconded by Orthmann to return to regular session. Roll call, ayes: Thomsen, Curtis, Neumann, Hynes, Orthmann, Saathoff and Woodman. Nays, none. The Board returned to regular session at 11;30 AM. This Board is adjourned.
