Commission considers revised cemetery rules, approves purchase-fee change for specified circumstances
Summary
The commission reviewed proposed cemetery rules that would allow purchase of more than one plot in specific circumstances, add a $500 plot-purchase fee, and prohibit glass decorations for safety during maintenance; the item was placed on a future meeting agenda for a vote.
Commissioners reviewed proposed revisions to cemetery rules and regulations at the Jan. 26 work session and directed staff to include the item on the Feb. 3 regular meeting agenda for action.
Changes discussed included permitting the purchase of more than one plot in limited circumstances (for spouses or residents who moved to assisted living near end of life), adding a one-time purchase fee of $500 per plot, and prohibiting glass items on plots for mower and vandalism-safety reasons. County Manager Thomas Weaver summarized the suggested revisions and commissioners indicated support for clarifying residency and special-circumstance rules before final adoption.
The commission did not finalize the rule changes during the Jan. 26 session; the proposed resolution and fee language were added to the upcoming meeting agenda for formal consideration and vote.
