§ 94.21 HAZARDOUS MONUMENTS/MARKERS.
   At least annually, city staff will conduct an inspection in the cemetery for blighted monuments, markers and/or headstones that are considered to be in a dangerous condition. A dangerous condition shall include leaning, crumbling, cracking, broken or sinking. Attempts will be made by city staff to contact the lot owner about the required repair. Said notification shall be by certified letter, placed in the U.S. mail. Lot owner shall be given 90 days to comply with requirements to correct the unsafe situation. If no lot owner or family can be found after due diligence, the city will remove the dangerous headstones and monuments and will store items at city facilities. If footstones mark the graves, the monument will not be replaced. If the dangerous monument is the only marking for the lot, a flat marker will be installed using designated cemetery memorial funds. All documentation will be recorded in the office of the City Clerk.
