Council discusses spraying, clearing at Agency cemetery after onsite tour; neighbor requests limits
Summary
Council members reported on a cemetery tour and discussed spraying and clearing overgrowth; Mayor Jake Johnson cited a roughly $500 spray quote, and an adjacent property owner asked that specific areas not be sprayed and will meet with staff to mark them off.
Mayor Jake Johnson and council members discussed proposed maintenance at Agency’s cemetery, including chemical spraying and vegetation clearing.
Council member Andrew Birch said he toured the cemetery and recommended spraying the east and south sides while avoiding the area along the shared property line. Mayor Jake Johnson said he had spoken with a company and received an approximate quote of $500 to spray the cemetery and noted that clearing the overgrowth will require bids and be placed on a future agenda.
Property owner Angela Sedore told the council she does not want certain areas bordering her property sprayed because she walks her dogs there daily. Johnson said city staff will meet with Sedore to mark areas that should not be treated; Fred Clubb was directed to meet with her to identify those zones.
No formal action or vote on spraying or clearing was taken at the meeting. Council members said the clearing work will require competitive bids before any contract or work begins.
