Monroe Council approves reclaiming long‑unused cemetery lots
Summary
The Council adopted Resolution 5 01 2026 authorizing notice of claim on approximately 13 cemetery lots with no activity in over 60 years; Councilmember Candice Barney moved the resolution and the motion passed unanimously 4‑0.
Monroe City Council on May 26 adopted Resolution 5 01 2026 authorizing filing notice of claim regarding certain cemetery lots that have had no activity for more than 60 years, City Recorder Allison Leavitt said.
Leavitt told the council the resolution addresses approximately 13 lots and explained the city processes reclaiming requests as individuals come forward rather than clearing entire sections at once. Councilmember Candice Barney moved to adopt the resolution; Councilmember Perry Payne seconded the motion and a roll‑call vote was unanimous 4‑0.
The resolution authorizes staff to proceed with the reclaiming process outlined in the resolution; Leavitt did not identify immediate removals but said the action allows staff to process individual claims when they are presented.
Actions: Adoption of Resolution 5 01 2026 (mover: Candice Barney; second: Perry Payne). Vote: Bagley, Barney, Johnson and Payne voted yes; motion carried 4‑0.
