I am also aware that concern does not necessarily translate to financial assistance. I think it would be appropriate to hold a public hearing to ascertain whether there is any comnninity support for the county participating in a project that would benefit the Blanche. This is not a financial request. It is only a request to conduct a public hearing to gauge interest. Board support to hold such a hearing is requested. JD/cnb BOARD MEETS FIRST THURSDAY AT 7 00 P.M.

I am requesting that we advertise both in-house and to the general public simultaneously, with preference being given to any in-house applications, due to the critical shortage of mechanics at our facility. Our recent in-house posting tbr an additional Mechanic II position produced no results. This resignation leaves the Mechanic Shop with only two (2) mechanics plus the foreman to service all equipment, vehicles, and take road calls. While we have interviewed for the other open Mechanic II position and have chosen a candidate, I understand that it could take some time before the individual can report due to a problem obtaining a provider for pre-employment physicals. Therefore, I would appreciate this new open position being advertised as soon as possible. Thank you for your consideration and support. BOARD MEETS FIRST THURSDAY AT 700 P.M.

MENIORANDUM To: Board of County Commissioners, Columbia County From: Rudy Crews, Safety Director Bob Bostic, Property Review David Kraus, Senior Staff Assistant Date: March 29, 2011 RE: Cemetery on NW Scotts Glen Road Based upon a citizen's call, the County investigated an abandoned lot on NE Scotts Glen Road. The caller had concern about the abandoned lot with a single overgrown grave site of a WWI veteran, Junius Richardson (July 4, 1885 to July 18, 1973). The citizen asked the County to clean up the site in respect for this veteran. Upon further investigation, staff discovered additional marked grave sites, including that of Booker T. Combs (WWII vet - January 16, 1906 to August 10, 1967), Asalee Combs (Feb 16, 1871 to November 29, 1923) and Moses Rease (veteran - no dates), and several areas that appeared to be unmarked graves. Tax records indicate that the lot has no ownership. The Florida Department of Financial Services Division of Funerals, Cemeteries and Consumer Services, who claims jurisdiction, stated that the State would take no action to clean the property. They claim that under FS 497, the County could clean up a cemetery and bill the owner, but we have no owner. We contacted Ms. Brenda Combs about the site. The family never owned the site and had to seek permission from a homeowner to bury her father (Booker T Combs) there. The subdivision, Country Dale Estates, was later built around the site. The site's vegetation has returned to a forested condition with undergrowth not allowing visibility beyond a few yards so that no one could see the cemetery within the site. Several large trees lin-ibs have fallen. We are contacting Ms. Brenda Combs to see if Combs Funeral Home may have some historical records for this site. The DOC Community Service Worker program begins next week. Each community service crew will require supervision by a government or non-profit organization which will also provide the necessary equipment. Because the site has no owner, cleaning up the site using community service workers would require county supervisors and county equipment. As an alternative, the County could try to find a community group or Church to provide the supervision and equipment for the community service workers while they clean the site.
