Summary

County administration said it intends to convert Valley High Cemetery board functions to administrative oversight, planning to let expiring terms lapse and appoint county staff (including the coroner) pending a state's attorney opinion on conflicts of interest.

County staff reported the county is planning to move Valley High Cemetery board operations into county administration by letting current terms expire and proposing appointments of administrative staff to fill roles. The change is intended to shift the board to a more administrative model and will be memorialized by resolution once the state's attorney issues an opinion on whether the coroner's appointment would pose any conflict of interest.

Staff said they have been coordinating with the board chair and will bring a resolution forward after legal review; committee members expressed general support and no objections were recorded at the meeting.
