County seeks replacement for cemetery board after volunteer declines

Prairie County board · January 7, 2026

Summary

Prairie County officials confirmed an open seat on the cemetery board after Tom Makowski declined interest; commissioners said they will advertise the vacancy and identify candidates before the next meeting.

Commissioners confirmed that the cemetery board has at least one vacancy and that Tom Makowski told the board he is not interested in filling the seat. Members asked to post the vacancy online to solicit candidates and said the cemetery appointment was the single seat they had left to fill from the prior meeting.

A participant reminded the group that the cemetery vacancy was the item discussed when members last left the meeting, and urged the board to follow up. One speaker said, "Tom Makowski came in this morning and let us know that he is not interested," underscoring an immediate need to recruit alternates for volunteer posts. The board agreed to advertise and to address the vacancy at the next formal appointment session.
