Fairfield cemetery board schedules headstone repair sessions and considers plot-map changes, outreach for reduced-rate plots
Summary
The board scheduled hands-on headstone repair sessions for April 7 and May 5, discussed recording a revised plot map and a possible small land swap to square the cemetery, and agreed to contact qualifying former officials about reduced-rate $50 plots before a public sale.
Speaker 1 told the board that contractor Amy agreed to lead two on-site headstone repair sessions tied to upcoming monthly meetings: April 7 and May 5. Amy will arrive by 5 p.m. to set up and sessions will start at 6 p.m.; Speaker 1 said members will work alongside her and staff will ensure materials are available.
Separately, Speaker 3 presented a plot-map sketch depicting a potential boundary adjustment that would square a section of the cemetery by shifting a road and taking or giving up a small sliver of land (approximately one-tenth of an acre). Members discussed contacting the property owner and the surveyor (Kent or Sunrise Engineering) to confirm current ownership and explore options — donation, purchase or swap — and noted any final plot map must be recorded with the county.
The board also discussed outreach for selling plots to qualifying residents under an existing ordinance provision that allows certain officials who served four or more years to buy plots at a reduced rate; Speaker 1 said a list of qualifying people (compiled by Stephanie) will be used to contact them first. Members suggested holding open-house outreach around Memorial Day and producing signs for the cemetery; Cody (staff) is to coordinate printing and dates.
No final land transaction or sale was completed at the meeting; the board set action items for staff to contact the surveyor, schedule the repair sessions with Amy and prepare outreach to eligible residents.
