Commission considers changes to cemetery rules including a $500 plot fee and limits on purchases
Summary
The commission reviewed proposed cemetery rules and regulations changes — including permitting a purchaser to buy more than one plot in certain circumstances, adding a one‑time $500 purchase fee, and banning glass on plots — and added the item to the Feb. 3 agenda.
County Manager Thomas Weaver walked commissioners through proposed revisions to cemetery rules and regulations during the Jan. 26 work session. Proposed changes included allowing purchase of more than one plot in limited circumstances (for a spouse or for residents who recently moved to an assisted‑living facility), a one‑time plot purchase fee of $500, and a prohibition on glass decorations for safety during grounds maintenance.
Commissioners directed staff to place the cemetery rules and regulations resolution on the Feb. 3 regular meeting agenda for formal consideration and a vote. The minutes record that the commission singled out safety (no glass) and residency exceptions as items that needed specific language in the ordinance or resolution before adoption.
