Sec. 5-28006.
Powers and duties.
The directors shall, immediately
after appointment, meet and organize, by the election of one of their
number as president and one as secretary. They shall make and adopt such
by-laws, rules and regulations for their own guidance and for the
government of the soldiers' and sailors' burial grounds of the county and
auxiliary institutions and activities connected therewith, as may be
expedient and not inconsistent with this Division. They shall have the
exclusive control of the expenditure of all moneys appropriated from the
Soldiers' and Sailors' Burial Fund, and of the laying out of sites for
burial purposes, the construction of any cemetery buildings, or other
necessary auxiliary institutions and of the activities in connection
therewith, and of the supervision, care, and custody of the grounds and
buildings. The board of directors shall have the power to
purchase or lease ground within the limit of the county, and to occupy,
lease or erect appropriate cemetery buildings or other buildings, by and
with the approval of the county board. No cemetery site shall be purchased
or leased, however, until detailed plans therefor have been submitted to
the county board and have been approved by them. The board of directors
shall have the power to appoint suitable superintendents, care-takers and
all necessary assistants, and to fix their compensation, and shall also
have the power to remove such appointees.
