Resident urges city help after family grave reportedly damaged twice
Summary
During public comment at the March 12 Mandeville City Council meeting, resident Tracy Elsensohn said a family grave was destroyed for a second time and asked for help with cemetery maintenance and possible patrols; the council record noted her request but no formal action was taken at the meeting.
A Mandeville resident told the City Council on March 12 that a family grave had been destroyed for a second time and asked for city assistance with cemetery maintenance and possible patrols.
During public comment, Tracy Elsensohn of 1379 Valmont St. said someone referred the matter to her and that she volunteers for cemetery upkeep but does not work for the city. She asked for help with maintenance, ongoing upkeep and consideration of patrols to protect grave sites. The council record does not show any direct staff directive or vote in response during the meeting.
The concern was raised during the public-comment portion of the agenda; no subsequent agenda item at the March 12 meeting recorded a formal referral, motion, or assigned follow-up specific to cemetery enforcement or patrols. Residents seeking follow-up on this matter should contact the city clerk’s office to request it be placed on a future agenda or to connect with Public Works or the appropriate enforcement office.
The council adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
