Council gives second reading to ordinance authorizing cremation-scattering garden at Mount View Cemetery
Summary
Council gave a second reading to an ordinance creating a cremation-scattering garden at Mount View Cemetery and setting procedures for indigent cremated remains; the item will continue through the next readings.
Council gave the second reading to Ordinance 2026-27 that would authorize a cremation-scattering garden within Mount View Cemetery, provide for final disposition of certain indigent cremated remains and establish care procedures. Councilmember Hager indicated assent and read the item for its second reading.
No substantive amendments were made at the meeting; councilmembers signaled the item will continue through the legislative process and the ordinance advanced to its next reading as scheduled. One resident had earlier raised a narrow public-safety concern about ash dispersal near Danema Elementary School; council took that comment under advisement as it continued review.
