Commission adds $500 plot fee and broadens eligibility in cemetery rules

County Manager Thomas Weaver presented proposed revisions to cemetery sale rules during the Jan. 26 work session. The suggested changes would permit the purchase of more than one plot in limited circumstances (for example, spouses or residents who recently moved to assisted-living facilities), impose a one-time $500 plot-purchase fee, and ban glass decorations for mower and vandalism safety. The commission added the item to the Feb. 3 meeting agenda for formal action.
