Board tables review of residency and grave-transfer rules until absent members can attend
Summary
The board tabled a discussion on tightening residency requirements and closing a loophole that allows residents to buy graves and transfer them to non-residents, deferring the item to July 22, 2026 so all members can participate.
The Richfield Village Cemetery Board postponed detailed discussion of cemetery rules—particularly residency requirements and a loophole enabling residents to purchase graves and transfer them to non-residents—so that absent members can attend. The board explicitly asked members to re-read the rules and prepare for a detailed conversation at the July 22 meeting.
Members noted the upcoming West Richfield expansion could change space pressures and influence whether rule changes remain necessary. The minutes show the board tabled the matter until full attendance, with no motion to change the rules recorded on June 24.
