AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 6.L.
For Meeting of:April 4, 2023
ITEM TITLE: Resolution accepting and authorizing the execution of the grant
agreement with the Washington State Department of Archaeology
and Historic Preservation for the Tahoma Cemetery Preservation
Project
SUBMITTED BY: Scott Schafer, Director of Public Works
*Ken Wilkinson, Parks & Recreation Manager
Sara Watkins, City Attorney
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Tahoma Cemetery staff submitted a grant request to the Washington State Department of
Archeology and Historical Preservation to make improvements at Tahoma Cemetery. All of the
sections within Tahoma Cemetery currently have wooden section markers and these markers
have begun to deteriorate and need to be replaced.
The grant, in the amount of$13,500, provides for a replacement of all section markers in granite
which will last a very long time. In addition, funds are being given to create a cemetery map
allowing visitors to be able to self-locate graves of family members and friends. In addition to the
map, a QR code will be included in the map so that individuals can scan and enter the name of
the grave they are looking for and the application will direct the individual turn by turn to the grave
site. Our City of Yakima GIS staff person will complete the application in house.
