During a recent M.D. of Taber Council meeting, M.D. of Taber Chief Administrative Officer Arlos Crofts brought a Request for Decision before Council regarding contributions to the Enchant Cemetery Foundation.

“This Request for Decision outlines what has been happening over the last few years with respect to facilitating donations for the purpose of the Enchant Cemetery,” said Crofts. “Administration has come proposing a solution or process whereby the M.D. of Taber could consider an annual contribution for some of that maintenance and upkeep that the Enchant Cemetery Association provides for the benefit of the M.D. of Taber and its rate payers and cemetery users.”

Administration, Crofts explained, suggested that Council look at providing support in the form of an annual contribution and perhaps have that annual contribution be considered at each budget, not necessarily having it as an automatic budget incorporation.

A motion was made that Council direct Administration to incorporate a $2,000 contribution to the Enchant Cemetery Foundation into the 2025 final budget and to be reviewed yearly. The motion was carried.
