Lyons, Chairman <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />Indian River County <br />FROM: R. Stephen Houlihan <br />Assistant County Attorney <br />DATED: April 29, 1981 <br />RE: Proposed Cemetery Ordinance <br />To lay a foundation for the adoption of an ordinance regulating <br />burial site operations in Indian River County, an attempt has been made <br />to inventory existing burial sites within the County. Because of questions <br />regarding legal title to some of the existing sites, and a serious lack of <br />records regarding past interments, this process has taken more time than <br />anticipated. Once these questions have been resolved, an ordinance <br />covering the operation of the one County -owned site, Oslo, and the <br />remaining privately maintained sites will be prepared. A primary goal of <br />this ordinance should be to establish a uniform system of record-keeping <br />for all sites within the County. <br />DISCUSSION FOLLOWED. <br />CHAIRMAN LYONS NOTED THAT IF THE COUNTY DOES GET INVOLVED <br />IN THE CEMETERY BUSINESS, IT COULD BE AN ENTERPRISE SITUATION, SUCH <br />AS THE CITY OF VERO BEACH HAS AT THIS TIME. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THEY ARE TRYING TO COME UP WITH <br />A PLAN TO HAVE CONTROL AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE BURIALS, AND WILL REPORT <br />BACK TO THE BOARD WHEN THIS nAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. <br />
