City attorney seeks deeds, records to clarify cemetery ownership and prepare resolution
Summary
City Attorney Robert Stuyvesant reported the cemetery is not a perpetual‑use cemetery and staff must obtain deeds and records (including any unused graves) before preparing a resolution or public hearing on ownership changes.
City Attorney Robert Stuyvesant updated the council on follow‑up for the local cemetery. He said because the site is not a perpetual‑use cemetery the city needs to document ownership changes and identify any unused graves before drafting a resolution or scheduling related public notices. Stuyvesant said he contacted the representative who handles cemetery matters and will reach out to Peggy Fogle to collect deeds and records.
Stuyvesant noted the next step is to obtain deeds and records about site ownership and unused grave plots and then form a resolution for council consideration; no formal action was taken at the meeting beyond the direction to collect records.
