Denison promotes Victor Reccano to cemetery manager amid operational restructure
Summary
City staff told the advisory board that the park superintendent role no longer manages cemetery operations; Victor Reccano, previously cemetery foreman, has been reclassified through the FY26 budget process as cemetery manager and now reports directly to the department director.
City staff said the Denison cemetery operation has been reorganized so the cemetery has dedicated management at the site level. "My name is Victor Reccano, cemetery manager," Victor told the board when introducing staff updates; staff explained he was previously the cemetery foreman and has been reclassified through the FY26 budget process to manage day-to-day cemetery operations.
Staff reported that the park superintendent position (previously held by an employee identified in the transcript as Chip) is vacant and will not serve as the cemetery's managing position going forward. The board heard that Victor will handle operational decisions for the cemeteries and that Sherry will continue to perform daily administrative duties, while staff and leadership will elevate issues to department-level leadership when necessary.
The reclassification was described as informational and intended to give cemetery staff more autonomy so visitors and families receive timelier responses. Staff emphasized they will continue to escalate issues when appropriate and remain available to answer board members' questions.
The board thanked staff for the work and praised the cemetery crew; no formal vote was recorded for the personnel reclassification in the transcript.
