The Boulder City Council on Oct. 21 clarified the composition and duties of its Cemetery Advisory Committee and directed it to provide at least one annual comprehensive recommendation to the council regarding fees, actions and policies to keep the cemetery—including the columbarium—viable.
Council President Drew Dawson moved that the committee consist of one City Council member, one City staff member and three citizens (who need not reside inside city limits). The committee should hold at least one annual meeting and produce recommendations on an annual fee structure and other actions and policies. The motion carried with four aye votes.
