Commissioner Susan Adams, Vice Chairman 14.6.1. 18-2563 Request Board Consideration for Discussion re Oslo Cemetery Recommended Action: Discuss and Consider Attachments: Commissioners Memorandum Oslo Cemetery Draft Agreement Vice Chairman Adams recapped that people who have relatives buried at the Oslo Cemetery (the Cemetery) have formerly not been allowed on the site, and relayed that the current owner, Michael Gregory M.D., is now willing to donate the property to the County. She noted that one individual has been waiting two years to bury her mother at the site, and that the use of the Cemetery would be restricted to individuals who have family interred there.
