Guymon council amends Elmhurst Cemetery rules, removes references to vaults
Summary
Council approved Resolution No. 25-04 to amend rules and fees for Elmhurst Cemetery, adopting the cemetery advisory board's recommendation to remove references to vaults from the rules and fee schedule.
The Guymon City Council voted 4-0 to approve Resolution No. 25-04, amending the rules and fee schedule for Elmhurst Cemetery.
According to the record, the cemetery advisory board recommended striking the word "vaults" from the ordinance and related provisions; the council approved that recommendation. The motion to adopt the resolution was moved and seconded and recorded as passing with four ayes from Councilmembers Alvidrez, Setzer, Eidson and Vice Mayor Geraldine Sanchez.
No specific fee amounts or text of the revised schedule were read into the public record during the meeting; staff will incorporate the cemetery advisory board's recommendation into the city's ordinance and fee schedule as adopted in the resolution.
Why it matters: Cemetery rules and fee schedules govern interment practices and municipal cemetery operations; removing references to vaults likely changes administrative language and possible interment procedures, but the council did not provide further operational directives or cost estimates at the meeting.
