Commissioners say Phase 1 complete for cemetery site; Phase 2 Brownfields review tied to deed and funding
Summary
Commissioners reported a completed Phase 1 study for a cemetery property and said a Phase 2 Brownfields investigation is recommended; deed language and timing of funding were flagged as constraints before any land transfer or site work.
Commissioner (Speaker 1) reported the Phase 1 study results for the cemetery property and said the reviewer recommended moving to Phase 2—a Brownfields follow-up—to clarify environmental issues before any change in land ownership or use. "The phase 2 is like right following. It's Brownfield," Commissioner (Speaker 1) said, and noted that funding timing likely means Phase 2 work would not begin until later in the year.
Commissioners said they need to review deed language and the county’s obligations under relevant statutes before accepting land or transferring management to another entity. Chair (Speaker 2) asked whether environmental and deed clarifications mean the county must wait for grant funding; Commissioner (Speaker 1) said staff will continue to pursue funding and discuss next steps with counsel and stakeholders.
