Richfield Council enacts limited moratorium on sale of graves in West Richfield Cemetery
Summary
Resolution 62-2026 establishes a limited moratorium on the sale of graves in West Richfield Cemetery unless certain conditions are met. Council adopted the resolution unanimously after suspending further readings.
Council adopted Resolution 62-2026 on July 21, establishing a limited moratorium on the sale of graves in West Richfield Cemetery unless specified circumstances apply. The motion to suspend second and third readings and adopt the resolution passed unanimously.
The moratorium language was presented as an emergency measure and was moved and seconded on the floor; council carried the adoption without recorded dissent. The Service Department earlier reported active cemetery sales and an ongoing West Richfield Cemetery expansion coordination with GPD, which council appears to have weighed when approving the moratorium.
Council did not record specific exceptions in the meeting minutes beyond the resolution title; the resolution was adopted as introduced. The measure was presented and approved during the resolution block of the meeting.
