Board schedules joint public hearing with county council on proposed cemetery site
Summary
The Snyderville Basin Cemetery District scheduled a joint public hearing with the county for the 18th; county staff will open the hearing and the district intends to present its site selection and receive public input. Legal counsel cautioned a binding decision is unlikely at that meeting.
The Snyderville Basin Cemetery District board set a joint public hearing with the county council for the 18th, with county manager Shane expected to coordinate logistics. Chair said the county council would likely "start the meeting, recognize us, and give us the opportunity to make a presentation," followed by public input.
Board members discussed whether the county could act at the hearing. A participant warned that a council vote was premature: "I don't believe the council is in a position to make a decision" and that the session will probably provide guidance rather than a binding outcome. The board asked staff to post the hearing notice on the district website and the Utah Public Notice portal and asked Amy to issue the notice promptly.
The hearing will include the district's presentation of site history and design thinking and then open to comments from the public. The board emphasized that the joint format is intended for information and feedback, not immediate adoption of policy, and said it would continue required follow‑up work (e.g., signed easements, transaction structure) before any final council action.
