Commissioners discuss city offer to handle cemetery water, consider options
Summary
Commissioners heard an update on the county cemetery: the city offered to provide water at cost or assume water duties, commissioners discussed mill-levy funds set aside for equipment and options for irrigation and mowing.
Tammy Plater (speaker 2) told commissioners she had been working with the cemetery board to resolve water and mowing problems and said the city offered to provide water at cost or to take over water duties while the cemetery board would retain the mill levy. "They just offered to...take over the water duties," Plater said, clarifying she was presenting options and not asking for an immediate decision.
Plater noted irrigation infrastructure is inconsistent: spigots that used to work in the new cemetery were missing, and the older irrigation system is not functioning. Commissioners briefly discussed short-term fixes such as hooking up basic sprinkler rigs and relying on existing mowers and volunteers. Plater said she was not seeking an immediate directive but wanted the board aware of options and potential changes to the cemetery board's role if the city assumes water duties.
