Aplington council combines cemetery stipend with caretaker salary; grant application planned for storage building
Summary
Council voted to fold a $400-per-year Section 2 cemetery payment into the cemetery caretaker’s annual salary starting in 2026, and Alan Meyer said he will apply to the Butler County Community Foundation for a grant to build storage at the cemetery.
The Aplington City Council approved a motion Sept. 10 to combine an extra $400 annual payment for Section 2 of the cemetery with the cemetery caretaker’s annual salary beginning in 2026. The motion (moved by Lage, seconded by Jacobs) passed unanimously.
Separately, Alan Meyer told the council he will apply to the Butler County Community Foundation for a grant to pay for a storage building at the cemetery. The meeting minutes do not specify the grant amount sought or a project timeline.
Council members did not record additional conditions or funding sources for the storage building grant application. City staff and the applicant would need to provide grant documentation and match requirements if the application proceeds.
