City staff asks council to use perpetual care funds to finish cemetery road repairs
Summary
City Clerk Alycia Friis told council legislative changes freed perpetual care funds and staff asked to use an additional $30–$35,000 from that account—on top of a $30,000 budget—to repair cemetery roads at once; council asked staff to prepare a resolution for the next meeting.
City Clerk Alycia Friis reported to the council that recent legislative changes removed a restriction on the city’s perpetual care funds. Staff said the city has budgeted $30,000 to repair half the cemetery roads and asked to supplement that budget with an additional $30,000–$35,000 from the perpetual care account to repair all cemetery roadways at once.
Council discussion reflected support for advancing the request to a formal resolution at the next council meeting so the city can proceed with the full repair work. The minutes do not record a formal vote; they note the council looked favorably on preparing a resolution for action at the following meeting.
The minutes do not specify contractor estimates, a precise total project cost, or a timeline for completion; staff reported the approximate additional funding need and asked the council to consider a resolution at the next meeting.
