Councilmember says cemetery project was vetted by planning and stormwater commissions amid local media attention
Summary
A councilmember told colleagues the cemetery-related project that attracted local media attention had been vetted by the planning commission and the stormwater commission and warned against outside groups reshaping the public narrative.
A councilmember pushed back on local media coverage and outside groups over a proposed project affecting a cemetery, saying the plan had been vetted by the planning commission and the stormwater commission.
The councilmember said their “chain has gotten rattled a lot this week by folks that have a subcommittee that have gone ahead and tried to readdress flooding issues that had already been vetted through the planning commission.” They added that the particular project “has not come forth other than through the planning commission and had been vetted by the stormwater commission,” and said calls from local media were “not appropriate.”
The speaker also urged members of the public who had questions to speak directly with councilmembers rather than pushing agendas through social media.
No formal action was taken at the meeting on the cemetery project; the remarks were made during council comments and were presented as a clarification of process and vetting.
