Chairman <br />Highley read the report - (See Attached). <br />UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />Veterans Cemetery I and II - Columbariums <br />Deputy Director Pam Mizuno said after reading the June 21st minutes, she checked on the <br />status of the columbarium at Veterans Cemetery II since members were asked to look at <br />it and report back at this meeting. <br />Mr. Mukai went to look at columbarium at Veterans Cemetery I and nothing was done. <br />He went to Veterans Cemetery II - and saw a brown frame around that columbarium, but <br />the biggest problem is at Cemetery I because the opening was exposing (4) niches. The <br />size of the opening in the columbarium at Cemetery II is not the same. <br />Deputy Director Mizuno reported that Parks Maintenance staff would work on the <br />columbarium at Veterans Cemetery II first. Staff is unable to make a cover for each <br />niche because they would need to make a 15" square and for that small size it would be <br />difficult to make everything plum going across. They will install a cover for (4) and after <br />they put a stainless steel cover on, they will install a cover on each niche. <br />Chairman Highley said that although we were advised at the last meeting to look at the <br />columbarium at Veterans Cemetery 11 to see if its acceptable, we cannot judge yet <br />because its not finished. <br />Deputy Director Mizuno said there must have been some miscommunication. <br />Mr. Mukai said there isn't a clear picture of what it will look like yet. Only the frame is <br />there. <br />Chairman Highley asked if there was a date as to when it would be ready to look at. <br />Deputy Director Mizuno said there is no date yet. She just asked staff how they were <br />planning to cover each niche as opposed to the (4). <br />
