At the Jan. 26 work session commissioners agreed to revise cemetery purchase rules to allow certain additional purchases, set a one-time $500 purchase fee, and noted no-glass safety rules; a surveyor is finalizing plots and staff expects sales to be possible about 60 days after survey completion.

Commissioners discussed revisions to cemetery rules during the Jan. 26 work session and asked staff to prepare changes for an upcoming agenda.

Commissioners also emphasized safety measures such as prohibiting glass on plots.
