City prepares flags, wreaths and winter equipment for Veterans Day at cemetery
Summary
Uintah City removed a dead spruce, plans to set flags and crosses before Nov. 11 for Veterans Day and keep wreaths for Wreaths Across America; staff bought a new snowblower to assist with winter burials.
Uintah City staff reported cemetery maintenance and holiday preparations during the Oct. 27 staff meeting. Officials said a large dead spruce was removed and another tree may need removal next spring due to disease likely related to drought or spruce scale. Staff also confirmed that flags and crosses will be placed ahead of Veterans Day and that wreaths will remain for the Wreaths Across America program.
The city purchased a new snowblower intended to help clear grass during winter burials. Staff flagged the need to monitor tree health through spring to identify further removals and to ensure cemetery grounds are ready for the Nov. 13 Veterans Day ceremony planned for 9 a.m.
