Council adopts updated cemetery‑lot fees (Resolution 2026‑6) and reviews surplus property list
Summary
The council adopted Resolution 2026‑6 updating cemetery lot fees and policies (including an infant lot sale discount and clarified overtime fees) and reviewed a list of surplus items, including an old cemetery safe to be relocated or auctioned.
The council adopted a resolution revising cemetery lot fees and policies and examined a proposed surplus property list.
Derek presented the third iteration of the cemetery fee revisions, saying the cemetery board and staff reviewed the draft and asked the council to approve clarifications including restoring an infant lot sale discount for children two years old and under, correcting previously misstated fees (for example, an earlier entry that should have been $100 was written as $50), and clarifying overtime rates and the periods when additional charges apply. The mayor introduced the resolution as Resolution No. 2026‑6; council members moved and seconded and then approved the resolution unanimously.
On surplus property, staff highlighted items in the city’s inventory, pointing out an old cemetery records safe that will be moved to city hall or sold/auctioned. Council members discussed preserving historic records and finding an appropriate storage location for sensitive items.
The resolution was adopted by voice vote and the surplus property list discussion continued as staff will return with next steps for disposition of items such as the cemetery safe.
