| IMO,
Paul Lewis was hired to do a job. He is the manager of the Park and Rec. dept. Part of that job includes managing the maint. at the city cemetery.
The city commission should not even be involved in this issue. Department heads are hired to do a job. Paul needs to take care of it. He's in charge. If he can not or will deal with the problems...well...that tells me alot. The commission should tell him to take care it!!! We do not need another city ordinance because a department head is unable or unwilling do his job!!! If a department head does his job and it is unsatisfactory then the city manager can deal with it.
Because a few people are irr-responsible does not mean that everyone should pay for their actions. I think people should be able to decorate or not depending upon what they want to do. Limitations placed upon a family, on how they grieve is up to them, not the city.
