RESOLUTION - Supporting funding for the Veterans Cemetery
(A-050-060)
City Manager Warren explained that in light of recent information that the State may
withdraw funding for the Veterans Cemetery in Shasta County, the Veterans ofF oreign Wars
has requested that the City Council adopt a resolution urging the State to make good on its
promise to provide the first State-owned and State-operated Veterans Cemetery. Mr. Warren
pointed out that while late-breaking news from the Veterans Administration now indicates
that the State is reconsidering funding and the Cemetery will most likely go forward as
planned, a local contingent of veterans is still planning to march on the Capitol Building in
Sacramento to demonstrate their resolve and ensure continued State funding for the
Cemetery.
City Manager Warren recommended adoption of a resolution supporting funding for the
Veterans Cemetery.
