Committee flags repairs for 100‑plus‑year cemetery at Lamb and Route 26; permits and funding required
Summary
A facilities maintenance report identified a deteriorated 100+‑year cemetery near Lamb and Route 26 with settled graves and broken monuments; staff said repairs require permits and funding and proposed starting restoration work in the 2027 budget cycle.
Committee reviewed a facilities‑maintenance report noting that a county cemetery at the corner of Lamb and Route 26 has settled graves, broken monuments and other deterioration that will require repair and restoration. A member noted that Mr. Remmers’ inspection work will require permitting before any ground disturbance: "I mean, you can't move a spoonful of dirt out there or add a spoonful of dirt without a permit from to hide in on," a committee member said when emphasizing regulatory constraints around cemetery work.
Members discussed allocating funding in the 2027 budget to begin the work and suggested preliminary tasks such as dirt‑filling, monument straightening and selective repairs. The committee also requested cost estimates and follow‑up from staff and the facilities report to scope a phased restoration plan.
