Consultant to present initial cemetery site planning, board asks for packet before March 11 meeting
Summary
Consultants who walked a proposed site will present an initial market analysis, bubble map and budget guidance at the March 11 meeting; early advice included not installing pre‑installed vaults to avoid heavy up‑front capital costs.
The board confirmed that a consultant team hired to advise on cemetery start‑up planning has begun work and will present initial findings at the March 11 meeting. Committee member (S5) said the consultants conducted a site walk and prepared a "bubble map" and other early materials to show likely capacity, staffing and amenity needs.
Committee member (S5) said the consultants recommended against installing pre‑installed vaults at startup to avoid excessive initial capital and to preserve flexibility. "They said... we're not gonna recommend that you do that to start," S5 reported. The board asked that the consultant materials be circulated at least one week before the March 11 meeting so members can prepare questions.
