A. As an alternative to the procedure set forth in section 7-3-7 of this chapter, the city council may pass a resolution demanding that the owner of a lot, site, or portion of the cemetery, which has been unused for burial purposes for more than sixty (60) years, file with the city recorder notice of any claim to the lot, site, or parcel.
B. The city council shall then cause a copy of the resolution to be personally served on the owner in the same manner as personal service of process in a civil action. The resolution shall notify the owner that the owner must, within sixty (60) days after service of the resolution on the owner, express interest in maintaining the cemetery lot and submit satisfactory evidence of an intention to use the lot for burial.
C. If the owner cannot be personally served with the resolution of the city council as required in subsection B of this section, publish its resolution on the Utah Public Notice Website created in Section 63F-1-701 for three weeks; and mail a copy of the resolution within fourteen (14) days after the publication to the owner's last known address, if available.
D. If, for thirty (30) days after the last date of service or publication of the city council's resolution, the owner or person with a legal interest in the cemetery lot fails to state a valid interest in the use of the cemetery lot for burial purposes, the owner's rights are terminated and that portion of the cemetery shall be vested in Pleasant Grove City Corporation.
