Council details cemetery expansion, historic-grant progress and operations plan
Summary
Councilor Matt reported the historic-cemetery grant advanced past initial review; the city outlined lane/gravel quotes, plot tagging, a cemetery webpage, and a field manual for interments. Estimated tag costs were $127–$175 and lane quotes ranged roughly $4,700–$7,200.
Matt (transcript label 4) gave an extended update on the city's cemetery project, saying the historic cemetery grant passed the first level of review and the city is moving to the next stage. He presented two gravel quotes for new lanes (estimates of about 127–160 cubic yards) with prices roughly $4,700 and $7,200 and said the city plans to construct a new section and leave an older organic road in place.
Matt said the city would create a cemetery page on the municipal website and digitize historical records and certificates, add block tags and redwood signage, and produce a field manual so staff know how to locate and open the correct grave in each block. He estimated tags would cost approximately $127–$175. He also said the city will coordinate with local funeral directors and allow donors to name lanes as a fundraising option.
