Cedar Fort committee plans refreshments, supplies and next steps for cemetery cleanup

Committee members spent part of the meeting planning on-the-ground logistics for the cleanup. The chair said she could provide refreshments and suggested keeping the event simple, noting she "can just bring hot chocolate and donuts"; members discussed whether to serve hot dogs, cookies, or only light refreshments for volunteers.

The chair also explained the committee could seek a city dumpster or arrange a Department of Public Works pickup for yard waste and debris if the city agrees. Members emphasized safety protocols and respectful handling of graves. No formal spending authorization was made beyond the chair's offer to use some of the committee budget for small treats; final decisions on municipal support and equipment will be revisited at the Oct. 5 meeting once the proposal sender is verified.
