Resident warns cemetery parking will lead to towing after track-meet disruptions
Summary
A Metamora resident told trustees vehicles parked on grass in Oak Grove Cemetery during a recent track meet risked damage to grave markers and warned that "all vehicles will be towed at the owners' expense" if it happens again.
Bob Murphy of 1618 Coal Bank Rd addressed the board during public comment about parking at Oak Grove Cemetery during a large track meet at Black Partridge Park. Murphy said cars were parked on grass where markers are placed and warned that "all vehicles will be towed at the owners' expense" if the behavior continues; he called the actions disrespectful to the cemetery.
The minutes record Murphy’s complaint as a public-comment warning to event organizers and attendees. The board did not record a direct response or a formal enforcement motion in the minutes; Murphy urged the board and event organizers to prevent a recurrence.
