Aberdeen authorizes heirship letters and sealed bids for two cemeteries
Summary
The board instructed the city attorney and deputy clerk to draft heirship letters for Oddfellows Rest and Oaklawn Memorial Gardens cemeteries, required payment within 90 days, and approved soliciting sealed bids and a limited round-table discussion on cemetery upkeep.
The Aberdeen Board of Aldermen on April 7 authorized the city attorney and deputy clerk to prepare a letter of heirship for cemetery deeds and directed that all funds be paid within 90 days for Oddfellows Rest Cemetery and Oaklawn Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
The board also voted to post and advertise sealed bids for the cemeteries, and to convene a round-table discussion limited to cemetery upkeep after bids are received. The minutes list Ms. Tohona Larthridge, Mr. Fernando Davis and Ms. Karen Crump as participants in that round-table. The motion specified that no other topics would be scheduled for discussion at that meeting.
The actions were approved on roll-call votes. The minutes record the authorization and the 90-day payment requirement but do not include further details about the criteria for the bids or the legal standard for heirship determinations.
