Orangeville council ratifies cemetery survey updates, approves $5,544 payment
Summary
The Orangeville City Council voted to ratify updated cemetery maps and approve a $5,544 payment to cover survey work that had not been budgeted, with council members saying the maps are needed to put the changes into effect for the city.
The Orangeville City Council voted Aug. 14 to ratify updates to cemetery maps and approve a $5,544 payment to cover survey work, saying the maps are needed to officially adopt recent boundary updates.
Council members discussed that the contractor had completed roughly four years' worth of work and that the expense was not planned in the current budget. Chair (speaker S1) said the adoption is a ministerial step: "We just need to adopt it so that we can put it into effect for the city." Council members agreed the payment will come from money previously set aside for Cemetery Road repairs.
Members emphasized the practical need for up-to-date maps before using the data for city operations. The motion to ratify the cemetery survey updates and authorize payment passed on a voice vote with no opposition recorded.
The council did not specify the contractor's name in the meeting record; the approved amount was stated in discussion as $5,544. Staff will record the ratification so the maps can be entered into city records.
