Brown County Courthouse
(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission Friday approved a resolution setting a public hearing to consider the formation of a cemetery district.
The hearing was set for April 30 at 8:30 in the morning in the Commissioner’s room at the Brown County Courthouse.
Representatives of Hiawatha’s two cemeteries met with the Commission Monday to request that the cemetery district be formed.
It would consist of the city of Hiawatha and most of Hiawatha township.
The district would provide funding for the upkeep and maintenance of the Hiawatha Cemetery, Mount Hope Cemetery, Brown County Poor Farm Cemetery and an unnamed cemetery located west of the intersection of 260th and Kestrel Roads.
The four cemeteries are currently the only cemeteries in Brown County not receiving tax support.
The district would be funded by a maximum 2 mill levy, which is expected to raise $72,000.
