show moreSupporters of a Bryan city cemetery section for veterans won't have to wait another two months for city action.
A proposal endorsed by several local veterans organization was endorsed Tuesday by the Bryan city council.
The staff proposal reserves a section of the recently expanded area across Washington from the original cemetery property.
Deputy city manager Hugh Walker says 882 spaces would be reserved, with double stacking when spouses are buried.
Other staff recommendations:
• Restricts burials to veterans who served and died while on active duty or after receiving an honorable discharge,
• Headstones will be standard government issued upright headstones,
• Plots are non-transferable but can be sold back to the city, and
• Flagpoles will be installed and maintained by the city.
The council action followed the cemetery board's decision last month to table consideration until October.
Then the cemetery board held a special meeting last week to recommend the veterans section.
Walker said the pricing for the veterans plots has yet to be determined.
