Dear Mr.Olivio,
Thank you for offering to meet with the Indiana Pioneer Cemetery Restoration
Project, if the city assumes responsibility for cemeteries now cared for by the
townships.That would be very helpful, however it does not answer my original questions.
What I am asking is, who would be responsible for the cemeteries under the Indy
Works proposal? Would there be money available for restoration, preservation and
maintenance? Where would that money come from?
I realize Indy Works is a huge plan intended to provide relief for many problems
encountered by the city/county over a number of years. There are specific plans to deal
with fire protection, poor relief, ect. What is the plan for cemeteries? There needs to be
a plan in place, so that pioneer cemeteries are not the neglected stepchildren of Indy
Works.
Sincerely,
Theresa Berghoff

Dear Ms. Theresa Berghoff:
Per your Oct. 22 inquiry regarding township cemeteries, our goal would be to provide
appropriate care and maintenance for these historic cemeteries. After the city assumes
responsibility for maintaining them, we would be happy to coordinate a meeting with your
group (Indiana Pioneer Cemetery Restoration Project) so those assuming responsibility for
maintaining the cemeteries will be aware of your concerns.
Please feel free to call me anytime at 317-327-4057 with any further questions. Thank
you.
