Committee hears that cemetery perpetual funds are protected; land shortage raised
Summary
Members heard that cemetery perpetual funds cannot be spent and discussed the cemetery system's need for additional land; no specific parcels or funding solutions were identified.
Kathryn Lynch reminded the committee that perpetual cemetery funds cannot be used for general spending, a legal restriction that shapes long-term cemetery planning. Sean Leary and other members discussed options to address the cemetery system's shortage of land but did not settle on a specific approach.
The committee asked staff and members to explore options; Leary said he would compile preliminary items and timelines for future consideration. The meeting record does not specify proposed parcels, acquisition costs, or funding sources for cemetery land.
