Cemetery plot fee increase
Summary
The city wants to raise burial plot prices from $1,000 to $1,500 — still well under the national municipal average — to help cover roughly $48,000 a year in cemetery maintenance. The commission agreed to start January 1, 2027 instead of October so families get planning notice.
