Wagoner moves ahead with cemetery fencing, explores cremation mausoleums
Summary
Council authorized bids for a wrought-iron fence at Elmwood Cemetery and approved a $5,000 professional-services work order to design and bid the project; council discussed adding cremation mausoleums and potential revenue models.
The council authorized advertising and solicitation of bids for a wrought-iron fence project at Elmwood Cemetery and discussed adding urn-style mausoleums to generate cemetery-fund revenue. City staff and councilors said revenues from plot sales and surplus property sales could help fund capital projects in the cemetery fund.
Council approved a $5,000 work order to Infrastructure Solutions Group to prepare design and bidding documents for the fence and related site work. Councilors discussed phased construction to spread cost, ADA access to mausoleums, and how interment fees would be applied. Several members said cemetery fund proceeds and future budget planning would support the project.
Next steps: Infrastructure Solutions Group will prepare designs and bid documents; staff will return procurement documents for council approval before contracting.
