Demorest work session debates doubling cemetery plot price, residency discount proposed
Summary
City Manager recommended increasing cemetery plot prices from $400 to $800; council members discussed offering residents a discounted $500 rate while charging $800 for non-residents. No formal vote occurred in the work session.
City Manager Mark Musselwhite recommended raising the price of cemetery plots from $400 to $800 per plot at the July 2 work session, citing the city's need to adjust fees. Mayor Jerry Harkness and council discussed a proposal to keep a reduced price of $500 for current city residents while charging $800 for non-residents, but the council did not take a formal vote during the work session.
The item will appear on the Regular Session agenda for formal consideration and any possible ordinance or fee resolution. Musselwhite framed the change as a recommendation; the work session record does not include a council motion or vote on the change.
