Summary

Lyon County authorized a $3,000 budget transfer from General Fund contingency to cover removal of 17 trees at Hillcrest Cemetery after Facilities Director said the cemetery budget would be depleted by the work.

Facilities Director Doug Homestead reported the county located a contractor to remove 17 trees at Hillcrest Cemetery; the cost would exhaust the cemetery budget for the year, so he requested a $3,000 transfer from General Fund contingency. Chair Hockaday recommended approval based on the trees causing messy and difficult conditions.

Commissioner John Cassinelli moved to approve the transfer; Commissioner Robert Jacobson seconded and the motion passed 5-0. The transfer is intended to fund the tree removal without reducing ongoing cemetery operations.
