§ 26-27. Findings and intent.  


Latest version.
  • Considering the fact that this county has been richly blessed with the heritage and history of its people who are now deceased; that many of these people, in their time, were native pioneers of the county who have played an integral part in making this county what it is today; that many of those who have passed on have been memorialized with resting places in cemeteries, graveyards, and burial grounds that have been abandoned, desecrated, neglected, unmarked, and are threatened by unknowing development; and that such abandoned, desecrated, neglected, and unmarked cemeteries, graveyards, and burial grounds are not a befitting tribute to such honorable citizens of the past, therefore, it is the desire of the board of commissioners to provide for the preservation, protection, and maintenance of all such family and community cemeteries, graveyards, and burial grounds.
