Resident says husband's gravesite in Section 14 needs resodding; staff to follow up
Summary
Yolanda Medina told the commission her husband's plot in Section 14 has been poorly maintained for about nine years and that she has offered to resod it; the cemetery director said the damaged tree was removed and staff will explore resodding and contact the speaker.
Yolanda Medina told the Waukesha City Cemetery Commission during public comment that her husband's gravesite in Section 14 on the West Side has not been adequately maintained for roughly nine years. "My husband's plot is on the West Side, Section 14," she said, and added that surrounding plots appear fine while his has not improved.
Medina said she had offered to resod the site herself after repeated attempts to have the city do it. "I've offered to have it resotted myself," she said. Cemetery Director Karen said a damaged tree that contributed to the problem had been removed and offered to follow up: "I can talk to Ken tomorrow about resodding it," she said. Staff asked Medina to provide contact information so they could coordinate next steps.
The commission did not take formal action at the meeting; Chair Pat Krolke and staff said they would follow up with the speaker. The matter may prompt maintenance work depending on the director's discussion with grounds staff and any resulting scheduling or budget considerations.
