Resolution 2026-21: continuing the cemetery plot sales suspension
Approved · 5-0
The council approved Resolution 2026-21 continuing the operational suspension of cemetery plot sales as presented. The city attorney said the suspension can be extended beyond six months because it is not a land use ordinance, giving staff time on record cleanup, repairs and expansion planning. A council member said the restrictions remain in place and allow purchase of a burial plot and a companion plot when a death occurs.
