2010-08-09 Cemetery Job Desc-Danny Miller's

After Danny Miller received a copy of the original job description signed by the maintenance person Miller took it upon himself to draft yet another new description and presented it to the board at the August 9, 2010 meeting. After handing this out Miller announced he still wanted to add more to his most recent description. How much longer is this nonsense and his need for total control going to continue?

“NOT” on this issue because Gute and Campbell had enough common sense to put an end to Miller's tyranny.
