County attorney drafts cemetery ordinance; records to be kept by manager or clerk
Summary
The county attorney told commissioners he is preparing a high-level cemetery ordinance that will require records for the new cemetery to be kept by the County Manager or County Clerk rather than by a separate board. He is also seeking historical records from past auditors.
County Attorney Bin Minter told commissioners on July 1 that he is preparing a draft cemetery ordinance for the Commission to consider. He described the draft as a high-level policy rather than bylaws and said the county will need to keep records for a new cemetery but will not require a separate cemetery board; instead, he said, recordkeeping should fall to the County Manager or County Clerk.
Minter also told the Commission he had discussed with County Manager Thomas Weaver efforts to obtain records from prior county auditors to support rule development. The attorney said the draft will be brought forward for the Commission’s review and possible adoption at a future meeting.
No formal ordinance text was adopted on July 1; the work session minutes on July 28 repeat that the attorney provided a draft for review and that the matter will be added to a future agenda for a vote or further discussion.
