Mayor announces Shannon Cemetery Commission members
Mayor Judy Augsburger announced appointment of a commission to oversee the Shannon Cemetery during Monday’s Bluffton council meeting.
Members include: John Murray, Evan Skilliter, Fred Rodabaugh, Bob Amstutz, Nathan Ulrey, Samuel Diller, Richard Boehr, Harriett Moyer, Jesse Blackburn, David Steiner and the mayor. Paula Scott, a non-voting member, is the commission recorder.
All members are residents of the village. The mayor said that the members represent various aspects of Bluffton including a young person, older persons, a representative of the American Legion, a member who has an ancestor buried in the cemetery, a former mayor and an attorney.
The appoints drew the wrath of some persons attending the meeting.
“This is a disgrace. You’ve stacked the deck. I’m very disappointed,” said Sue Cramer, following the announcement. “I don’t see this commission having any vestment in cemetery.”
The mayor announced that the first meeting of the commission will be in August.
“The commission will decided how often to meet, whether it is monthly, quarterly or annually,” said Augsburger.
