City commissioners on Tuesday discussion a new $10 million cemetery master plan that would catch up on deferred maintenance, improve operational efficiency, make the cemeteries more ADA-accessible and bring in more revenue.
Some of the proposed upgrades to Sunrise Cemetery include the construction of a new shop and office, renovating the existing shop, paving a section of the maintenance lot and fencing the maintenance yard. At Sunset Cemetery, upgrades could include building a new joint maintenance shop with Sunset Zoo, installing a new irrigation system, adding columbaria, making storm drainage and utility improvements, reconstructing cemetery roads, improving accessible sidewalks at the entry and Carriage House and making repairs to the memorial arc.
